Nadia Banes wants nothing more than a normal life in the country with the broken pieces of her family.The only problem is that three nations are at war, fighting for every piece of land they can get.

Last minute, Bean's roommate decides he'd rather live with his girlfriend. Last minute, Lucas's cousin decides she'd rather live with her boyfriend. And now they have to be roommates? Oh my God, now they have to be roommates. I wrote all of Bean's POVs, and @big_dreamer_girl wrote all of Lucas's POVs. We dedicate this to our friend (she knows who she is) who is very good at coming up with ship names and then the plot based off of them. Credit for the pictures on the cover goes to various Tumblr users that I found so long ago I literally have no idea how else to credit them (as well as some tropes and jokes that you may have seen before that we just had to reference). If you have any questions, please ask!

It's been four years since Brynn Harrington started crushing on Sawyer McKinney. And it's time she started doing something about it. So she writes anonymous letters to him in the bimonthly school newspaper, The Melbourne Gazette. It's not like he'd ever find out anyway. It's been one year since Eva Hamasaki started dating Liam Thomson, and it's been nothing but cute kisses and cuddles and love the whole way. So it throws her for a loop when she discovers that she'll be moving back to Japan before the semester ends. Now all she has to do is figure out a way to tell Liam. ❤ I wrote this story with @rmg0703, taking turns writing the POVs. All of the parts written from Brynn's perspective will be what I wrote, and all of the parts written from Eva's perspective will be what @rmg073 wrote.

I whisper slightly scared. "You wish it was him." I recognize the voice, Zach. "What do you want?" I ask him backing away slowly. "Where are you going baby? I just want to show you a good time." He answers pushing me against the wall inches from my face. "Get away from me!" I say, and my lower lip trembles. "Is someone scared? Don't worry baby this will make you feel better." He says and starts to kiss me. I try to push him away but he grabs my wrist and his other hand is everywhere. "Get off of her now!" Someone shouts from behind; Will. Before I know it Zach is ripped off me and on the ground. ------------------------------------------ Completed on 07/27/17
