Claudia is a shut-in, a nerd. She creates custom cybernetic limbs, unique works of art. Lumi is everything Claudia is not, exotic, exciting, outgoing. Claudia comes to realise they both have their secrets. Secrets that will tear them apart.

Half-glass full and cynical Calista Dames can sketch out her life in a series of plans, predictions and preparations. She's the girl who knows what she's doing and where she's going, the girl with all the questions answered, the girl with a foundation and a structure of her whole life because she has it all figured out. But when she meets Flynn, a brown-eyed Dutch-Indian boy with a thousand-year-old soul, everything around her comes crashing down. And nothing is ever the same ever again. For people who never belonged because sometimes you need to be a little lost so you can be found again. And sometimes, that's everything you need.

❝I- what? What are you talking about? Who is this?❞ ❝Well the bathroom stall says that this number is the gateway to a good time, and unless you're trying to say that a bathroom stall is lying to me, I think I need a little more information to be sold. Do you have like a yelp page I could look up? Past customer reviews? How many stars out of five?❞ ❝What are yo- oh my god, I'm going to fucking kill Marie.❞ (alternatively called: a lot of people shit with pens) written in dialogue // cover by xhemmingshugsx

"Stereotypes... Why be one when you can be all of them?" - When Charlie McCarthy, a self-proclaimed nobody of Jacksonville High decides that she has finally had enough of being unpopular, she begins to formulate a plan to become all the typical high school stereotypes: dark goth kid, geeky bookworm, hipster chick and blonde barbie. But throw in a sorta-scary best friend, an annoying brother and an overly hyperactive boy, Charlie might just find herself in the midst of a whole lot of drama. Maybe popularity isn't everything after all... - Note: This book is currently going under a lot of changes, so it's a bit messy right now. Read at your own risk.

❝I heard you're a player, so let's play a game. Let's sweet talk, let's play fight. Let's talk 24/7 and tell each other good morning and goodnight. Let's take walks together, let's give each other nicknames. Let's go on dates and talk on the phone all night long. Let's hold, kiss and hug each other. And the first one to fall in love? Loses.❞ ● ● ● What happens when you're crushing on your childhood sweetheart, but instead, you're dared to date the school's biggest (asshole) playboy? You accept of course. And try not to lose.

With the help of the kindhearted Declan, Sofia will need to fight to finally recognise that her past does not have to dictate her future. (credit for beautiful cover: @cacogen_)

"Let me make you a deal. You tutor me so that I pass high school with...well not flying colors because I'm not that smart, but you know with good enough grades so that I can get out of high school." "And what exactly do I get out of this?" "Simple: You tutor me and I tutor you." "For what?" "To be a cheerleader. It'll be like an assignment. Let's call this Project Pom Pom" *~*~*~*~ Meet Elizabeth Andrews. A nobody in her school. Her friends= 0, her social status= 0, her GPA= 4.0 (the only thing in her high school life that's more than 0). Like every cliche nerd she's in love with Tyler Matthews. Gorgeous, athletic, funny and a total asshole. And like every girl Lizzy dreams of the day Tyler's gonna realize that she's the one for him but here's the truth people: it ain't no cliche fairy tale. And the reason is because Tyler Matthews dates cheerleaders. ONLY them and Lizzy is no cheerleader. Until the head cheerleader makes her an offer she can't deny. The deal is simple: Lizzy tutors her and in return she tutors her. To be a cheerleader. And this is how their..uh..project (I guess?) began: Project Pom Pom I'm not good at description and I'm pretty sure that this sucks but please do give it a try. I swear it won't be half as bad as the description. Oh and if you're looking for a typical nerd and bad boy cliche then do not read this. It is not a typical cliche love story. This is more than a love story, this is a story about finding yourself.

There is a stage between childhood and adulthood that makes us all want to bang our heads into a concrete wall as if that will somehow make us forget the things we did in that cringe-worthy stage of adolescence. That golden era of bad haircuts, first and last dates, and that undeniable feeling of wanting to fit in. Teenagehood. Surviving it is a feat in itself, and the memories you make may haunt you forever. So this is my guide to the good, the bad, and the ugly of surviving teenagehood. Yes this will include anecdotes.
