Highest ranking: #1 in Short Story *Rewriting and Editing on hold* It was a race to leave behind her toxic past, the past that demolished her image, her family, and her sanity. Moving and starting fresh was Leila's number one priority. She desperately sought to avoid the people that constantly reminded her that she was worthless, but never had she thought she would meet someone who made her feel things that she thought she would never experience. . . Extreme anger. After the night that two lives were taken right before her eyes, one of her brother and the other of a little girl, nothing for her has been the same. Being neglected by her own parents and being shoved to the side by friends, falling into depression and self-harm had forced the once extrovert into a dark abyss who chose to finish college in silence. However, after an unfortunate mishap on her first day of school, Leila is stuck sharing a dorm room with no other than Professor Kingston. To Leila, Blake Kingston was nothing but a narcissistic, intellectual spoiled brat who sought to make her life a living hell. However, beneath the surface Blake was more than that, he was a damaged little boy who moved away to escape his troubled past. He never planned to meet a young, stubborn woman such as Leila Hart, who barged into his life with no warning. He never planned to let her see right through his cold and distant facade. For Blake Kingston was the most caring and loving person anyone has met, and Leila Hart knows an empath when she sees one. Little did they know they were both two broken souls who not only needed healing from themselves but from one another. Little did they know they were going to be ROOMMATES. What happens when these two collide? Fireworks and lethal wounds.

Previously known as The Good Girls Bad Boy. Highest Ranking: #2 in Short-story Michelle White, the 'good girl' next door, was anything but the cliche stereotype. She was more than that. She wasn't simple, or boring, or devoted to her schoolwork and her prestigious parents. No, she was damaged goods, on the outside she was yellow and ripe and in the eyes of everyone, she was the girl all mothers desired for their sons to wed. But on the inside, she was rotting away, blackened by her darkest desires that only come out to play when in the company of someone who battles the same crippling addiction as she does. She thought everything had finally gone back to normal after one sudden turn of events in her already unordinary life had taken place until she meets him; Mason Hunter, the juvenile delinquent whose form of art is damage. Loving and charming were two words you could use to describe Mason, but on a bad day terrifying and dangerous held as much meaning. Everyone sees an asshole who disregards people's feelings on the outside, but that's what happens when you look at the world through a colourful lens. No one could see the boy struggling to cope with his mental health on the inside, only the one damaging himself and everything on the outside. What happens when two damaged teens find their way to one another? Will Michelle's life finally be normal? Or will Mason poison her more with his toxic love, a love so unhealthy, obsessive and unnatural. . .no one dares to question it. Copyright©️ XFiction_GoddessX ™️2018 "Best book ever........
