When she receives the invitation, Rebecca Adams doesn't know whether she actually wants to go to her school reunion. A lot has changed since she last set foot in that cringeworthy place. Her greasy skin has long since gone, her hair is far less frizzy these days, her crooked teeth are now nicely straightened, and her glasses have been replaced with contacts-yes, Rebecca has indeed changed. She is no longer the skinny and quiet little spectacled geek who always had her head deeply inside of a book; now, she is a successful and hardworking businesswoman. Quite a few of her former classmates have also gone on to become successful and hardworking, but none more so than Mitch Heston himself - now a very famous and in-demand actor; a criminally gorgeous, very famous and in-demand actor.... who is rumoured to also be attending said school reunion. As a teenager, Mitch was much the same as he is now - well known and insanely popular. Back then, Rebecca was just another one of the shy girls who Mitch Heston and his friends used to enjoy teasing and making immature fun of. Which is why Rebecca feels hesitant about going. Part of her wants to leave the memories of school well and truly behind her. While another part of her wants to show them all the woman that she so proudly has now become. Besides, it's probably just a wildly exaggerated rumour that Mitch Heston will even be there. Or maybe, a very well orchestrated publicity stunt? I mean really, why would the incredibly famous Mitch Heston, want to be at his own school reunion? Seriously, the A list him, wouldn't really attend this thing? ...... would he?

She would never forgive him for stealing the fame that was meant to be hers. ***** When Sawyer Reeves was signing his name on a lucrative record deal, Felicity was mourning the loss of her brother. When Sawyer was playing sold-out arena shows to thousands of adoring fans, she was attending therapy sessions to cope with the trauma she'd experienced.

A football player and a cheerleader. The ideal and stereotypical couple right? Think again. Grayson Cooper charming, attractive, and stereotypically arrogant. Grayson is the star quarterback of Ocean City High and the most popular guy. One of those guys that a girl would die if he even talked to them. However even if it didn't seem like it Grayson hated the brainless seeming idiots that flirted with him. This is probably why he's so intrigued by the new girl who defies the stereotypes and isn't what everybody says she is. Aspen Peterson the new girl at Ocean City High new to Florida period. She is not only known as the new girl. Aspen is the captain of the cheerleaders after showing everyone out at tryouts. Blue eyes, dirty blonde hair, nice body, sounds like the stereotypical cheerleader. But that's not what Aspen is. She isn't interested in dating an empty-headed person who knows nothing, doesn't really care about prom, or the empty-headed people who think she sleeps around. Aspen is a free spirit girl, who isn't afraid "to be one of the boys", isn't afraid to be herself, but is afraid to be loved or let anybody in after a difficult past. Aspen vows not to fall in love, because of still struggling to let go. Will all that change when two people who think they're completely different, but really have more in common than they think cross paths? ★ I wrote this when I was in middle school (12-14 years old).

You've been warned :) ★ - this book has no smut. it's rated mature due to language. *Completed December 2016* (Cover by - ashtonlirwin ) !!!!!! - THIS IS NOT A DOLAN FANFIC - !!!!! * Please don't translate this book *
