People say that love is in every corner... looks like Riley's been walking in circles. You see, Riley is a proud tomboy and she loves being one of the guys, but there is a problem: she likes Ayden, the campus Casanova. She knows he won't be interested in her and she accepts her defeat. After all, being a tomboy doesn't attracts a ladies' man. But what happens when Riley gets trapped with Ayden's best friend, Andrew, and things get complicated? Will Riley get entangled in love's tricks and games? Will she be able to resist love in where she least expects it? Or will she finally succeed in having Ayden interested in her? Their hearts will never be the same. "I didn't mean to fall in love, but I did." [WARNING: Might have a serious illness of unprofessional grammar.

The Bad Boy and The Tomboy is now published as a Wattpad Book! As a Wattpad reader, you can access both the Original Edition and Books Edition upon purchase. Nicknames, a love of soccer, and school rumors are all the bad boy and the tomboy have in common. But if they give each other a chance, will they find something more? ***** Seventeen-year-old Macy Anderson is a tomboy that plays soccer, hangs with the guys, can't stand girls (except her best friend Jasmine) and doesn't know who Sam Cahill is. But when the pair unexpectedly meet, everything goes downhill from there. Because Sam Cahill is the school's bad boy, known for skipping classes and getting into trouble. Not to mention his cocky attitude, British accent, and magnetic charm, which seems to work on all the girls -- except Macy, who has a rule not date in high school. But when Sam starts showing her his moves (on and off the soccer field), Macy begins to see a different guy under the leather-clad exterior. Will that be enough to convince her that he's the one guy worth breaking the rules for? [[Word count: 300,000 - 350,000 words]] [[2015 Watty Winner]] All Rights Reserved- ©nikki20038

June 12, 2016. Pulse, Florida. The biggest hate crime against the LGBT community in 21st century America. It took some lives and changed others. Mine was one of them. Hi, I'm Matthew Westbrook. I live in a small apartment with my roommate, Austin Sherry, in Orlando. I'm doing literature from the University of Central Florida. I usually wear plaid shirts over colorful T-shirts and a pair of washed out jeans. And I'm gay. I'm gay. This is the story of my struggles to accept my sexuality, of how I got out of denial, of how I came out, of my first crush, my first kiss, my first boyfriend and my first heartbreak. This is the story of how I tore apart and then patched everything up. But most of all, this is a story of how a few people's hatred destroys so many lives. I was one of the people in the shootings in the gay club that night. I was one of the people huddled in the bathroom, fearing for my life and that of the guy I loved. I was one of the people who experienced the fatal mixture of fear and contempt first hand. And when my boyfriend got shot to save my life, I was left in a hopeless race to save everything that I held dear- my biggest secret, my sanity and the guy I owed everything to; even my heartbeat. Hi, I'm Matthew Westbrook. And this is my story.
