As a child Elaine has always been taught to feel sympathy towards others. Being the only child of a highly respected social worker, Elaine always followed her mother everywhere. Watching her work with children to make their lives better. Now 16 years old, Elaine has seen more grief, anguish and pain in her 16 years of living than anyone. She is constantly looking for the good side in people and trying to fix and make everyone's lives better. 16 year old Devon has lived his entire life dealing with sorrow and pain. A result of a mistake and enduring 15 years of abuse because of it, he's learned to lock up his heart, waiting for the day he turns eighteen and would leave the home he'd been placed in. A meeting with Elaine who is so unlike the negative people he'd known during his lifetime leaves his heart slowly thawing. And as he's about to find out, sometimes the remedy to a frozen heart is Christmas, children, and a certain girl who finds a way to see the goodness he's long forgotten he had in himself.

Blake Hudson has fallen from grace and right next to Penny. The two despise each other, one being a popular golden boy and the other an outcast disliked by nearly all her senior classmates, but both are somehow unable to go a day without running into each other. A boy who wants to fit in the popular crowd and an outspoken girl who hates anyone with a high social status are never a good match. Blake, now an outcast himself, is no exception to Penny. As fate would have it they end up getting tied together and forced to acknowledge each other's existence. Ties with the popular kids, however, haven't all been cut, and everyone wants to know: How did Blake Hudson end up at the bottom of the social scale alongside Penny in less than twenty minutes? Your guess is as good as mine. (NOT CURRENTLY WRITING BUT WILL COME BACK) amazing cover by @Ashihara

"It was a shame, really. What a fabulous sweatshirt, and it was already ruined." Marla Cooper is forgetful. She fails to recall everything from birthdays to the Pythagorean theorem-- and that includes checking her sweatshirt's pockets before she throws it in the washer. After the washers on her dorm floor explode, Marla finds herself relocating to the hole-in-the-wall laundromat, Sheets, for all her laundry needs. Turns out, so does a certain black-haired boy named Haruki Ozawa, the one person Marla couldn’t forget if she tried.

Caleb Diaz is not an animal lover. At all. So when his friend Marnie shows up on his doorstep with a birthday card and a kitten for his big 1-8, he's more than a little peeved. Cats stink, no questions about it. And with graduation less than a year away, Caleb's hardly got the time (or patience) to cope with running around after a deranged and messy fur ball. Marnie refuses to be swayed, though. In fact, she's already gone and enlisted the help of her brother Daniel, an animal enthusiast who's convinced he can convert Caleb once and for all. Armed with kitten milk and scratch posts, the trio venture down the road of parenting - a journey that may or may not involve sleepless nights, pet-oriented fights and infinite weirdness.

Karma is what Jaycee Meadows is good at - she and her motto, "shit happens," has earned quite a reputation at Greensville Private School. When people provoke her, karma literally comes back and bites them on the bottom in the form of Jaycee, a cleverly devised prank, and occasionally her best friend Elle. But now there's a new kid in town. Patrick Devons. And he'll do anything to overthrow and out-prank Jaycee. ••• bee-autiful cover by @LoveMyWifi ✿✿ © 2 0 1 4, Hayley M. All rights reserved.

There in those city lights, there was no her and there was no him. There was just everything and nothing and the spaces in between, like flickering lights against a never-ending, black sky. There in those city lights, there was no love and there was no hate. There was just listening and talking and understanding every single thing, like the 'ready, stop, go' of car-chasers and dream-makers. There in those city lights, there was no sadness and there was no happiness. There was just candid smiles and wasted tears and bottom lips chewed off, like the overflowing boulevard of things unseen. There in those city lights, there was no lady and there was no man. There was just a boy and a girl, who promised to fall in love, not with each other, but in those city lights.
