"I need you to help me be a good guy," he said bluntly, blue eyes piercing my questioning gaze. And that's when I started laughing hysterically. I mean the whole laughing silently, mouth wide open, clapping like a retarded seal. And then I saw the dead serious look he had on his face. My jaw dropped in shock. "You're serious?" The glare he gave me right then was my answer. Holy crappers, Hilton's resident bad boy wants to be a good guy. *********************************************************************************************** Lyla Matherson lives in a town where being the bad boy or dating the bad boy is the way to roll. In the small town of Hilton, the boys and girls experience what Lyla calls "the baddies". The guys all want to be the bad boy. The girls want to date or "change" the bad boy, like in the cliché romance novels. And Lyla, well Lyla wants them all to go straight down to hell. She hates the bad boy epidemic and takes pride in literally being the only girl not taking part in the bad boy fever. You can imagine her surprise when Hilton's first bad boy, the one who claimed the title before the epidemic spread, asks her to help him become the good guy. Apparently, leather jackets and a hot 'n cold attitude just aren't cutting it for Nathaniel Avery. In a tale of where bad is good, what happens when two students defy all odds to put good back in style? Join Lyla & Nathaniel in this un-cliché story of when the bad boy turned good and find out. ©cynical-romantic Highest rank: #46 in Humor

Power has a price. No Half Bloods know this better than the Lifs and Lifthrasirs, possessing the power of Yggdrasil itself, able to manipulate the dimensions of Life and Death throughout all 9 Realms. The price? These Heroes outlive all Mortals, their only choice for happiness is to curse their beloved with a "Blessed Apple" derived from the famed immortal apples Iduna guards, trapping their loved ones in a land where they are never able to leave while the Heroes barely age over the millennia they spend adventuring among the 9 Realms. As if that isn't cruel enough, Odin revealed a terrible Prophecy - Ragnarok, the final battle of all Mortal, Ethereal and Incorporeal beings where the Cycle of Immortality itself will end, killing beings who have never died with a Lif and Lifthrasir playing pivotal roles in those events. The Patrons of Old established the Accords - a treaty setting terms for all future Lifs and Lifthrasirs. Forced to train as Warriors and sacrifice their freedom, they serve under the Guardians, the council of members from all 9 Realms who designate missions so that their powers are shared equally, an agreement that has kept the peace for almost a million years but, as Odin himself revealed, all things come to an end. Nothing spells disaster like the Blazing Spear of Blood, created by Ymir from the root of Yggdrasil connected to Hel, capable of devouring anything with its cursed flames. Stolen by Xerxes the Red King, it has been stored in Ubhal Òir under the Lifs for millions of years, much to the chagrin of the Jotuns who now act as if it never existed. But it isn't forgotten. Someone is desperate to steal it and Comharrachadh Beatha is the perfect opportunity as most of the Guardians are on vacation enjoying the Tournament of Heroes where the Realms best Warriors come together on peaceful terms to battle each other. Treachery runs thick behind the celebrations as evil looks for an opportunity to rule again.

This is a book on love and heartbreak. You will find it to contain micro length stories in the form of free verses. Once in a while, you may find some with consistent meter or rhyme patterns. The stories are presented using multimedia (pictures), and at the end of each will be the story in words. I had uploaded this book on a platform called COMMAFUL (Entirely multimedia story writing site), and I thought I might as well bring it here.

Jesabel is a liar. When her only friend mysteriously disappears, she does what comes naturally. She keeps her truth from the world. Without warning, she is thrown into a web of lies far more dangerous and lethal than anything she could imagine. With an annoyingly charming boy by her side, can she unravel what she refuses to tell - the truth? WHITE LIES HAS BEEN REVISED, EDITED AND REWORKED! Happy late new year, friends! I'd like to take this opportunity to announce that White Lies, a story that has been up and running on Wattpad since 2011, has been re-written and revised for the coming decade. What does this mean? This entails the same characters you know and love, with better flow, better writing, more nuanced character development, more mature content, and entirely different plot lines. Jesabel's character has changed drastically since I last introduced her to the world (nearly NINE years ago! yikes!), and I wanted to make this story a more nuanced and modern take. When I had written White Lies, I had been just 14 years old. And I've done a ton of growing, learning, and unlearning over the years. This means that my characters have grown and developed with me. If you are an old friend and re-reader - welcome, and please enjoy the same old story you love with a brand new take! If you have started along this White Lies journey beginning in December and all throughout January, you might have read a half-edited and half-original version of the story. So please feel free to re-read at your leisure! I won't bite, I promise.

When Mollie starts to prefer the dreams she's having to the painful reality of life, she's forced to choose between embracing a fantasy or the man she loves. ***** Since she was seven, Mollie Cutright has known two truths: she loves Howard Flynn and her dreams are the most magical part of her life. Each day she suffers at the hands of her abusive parents, but each night she is surrounded by a loving family who call her by a different name. Growing up in 1930's Virginia, no one has patience for a girl who might be mad, so Mollie strives to keep her dreams (and how often they intrude on her reality) a secret. But when her secret comes out, Mollie is sent to an asylum, though not before she and Howard are secretly engaged. It is at the asylum she discovers the dreams are echoes of her past lives. She's an immortal, if she makes a journey to claim her heritage. The problem is, if she continues down this path, she can never see Howard, the love of her life, again.
