{GIRLS CHASE GIRLS, Book #1} Chronically invisible high school junior Xia Qi gets the shock of her life when her crush Phaedra Barlowe, a girl who embodies James Dean, saves her from a burning car, but that isn't the shock. The shock is when this bad girl with a good soul who could have anyone wants Xia back. *** Webber High girls don't like boys. Webber High girls like 5'9" ladies' volleyball captains who drive muscle cars and chew on their French braids. Webber High girls like outwardly fearless, secretly shaking, mace-wielding gearheads like Phaedra Barlowe. One brave girl wants to be her valentine. This is how she makes it happen. *** •🌈2015 LGBT+ Hot Genre Watty Winner •Featured Story • #16 Short Story (09.10.15) •@lgbtq Community Favorite •1st place (tie) in @FreetheLGBT's 2015 LGBT+ Valentine's Day One-Shot Challenge • a "Rainbow High" Wattpad Pick (08.27.2018) •@YA Big Short © 2015-present Idris Grey Amazing cover by the marvelously talented @RosyKun

As an important pawn in her father's game of chess, Violet Alexander has one simple job: smile pretty for the press. But even this proves too difficult. Her mood has seemed to be permanently dampened by her father's perpetual need to lock her sexuality in a box that not even she is granted access to. Brooklyn Frank has spent her entire life worrying about how she'll get by- where her next meal will come from, how her next bills will be paid for. Moving from job to job, criticized for something she can't change and won't lie about, Brooklyn can't seem to catch a break. But the two have yet to meet. And when they do? Who knows ~ things change. ~NOTE~ This is a modern retelling of the Russian fairytale "The Princess Who Never Smiled", written for the lgbtq contest 'Once Upon A Time'.
