Sometimes the best lessons aren't learned in class, they're felt in the heart. Riley Hale's life runs on caffeine, chaos, and cupcake batter. At twenty-eight, she's mastered the art of single motherhood, sarcasm, and pretending she's totally fine that her love life has been replaced by late-night cleaning montages and her eight-year-old's existential questions. Then one morning, a frosty stranger in a perfect beige coat walks into The Sweet Spot bakery and straight into Riley's list of "people I will never impress." After one spilled coffee and a mortifying apology later, Riley is convinced she'll never see the woman again. Until the next day, when she meets her daughter's new fifth-grade teacher... Miss Emerson Miller. What follows is a year of accidental flirtations, school-event disasters, and late-night bake-offs that blur the line between enemies, friends, and something sweeter. Because sometimes love doesn't show up when you plan it - it spills all over your shoes and dares you to start over. A slow-burn, small-town romantic comedy about second chances, messy mornings, and discovering that the best lessons aren't always taught in classrooms.

Sometimes the person you've been waiting on... is the one you've been waiting for. "Maybe being seen isn't about who's looking, it's about who never looks away." Jamie Lawrence never planned to spend her twenties waiting tables for Hollywood's elite-especially not serving her biggest crush, Oscar-winning actress Catherine Lane. But one chaotic night, a paparazzi incident turns a polite routine into a secret connection neither of them saw coming. Now Catherine keeps finding excuses to visit the restaurant alone, and Jamie can't tell if she's imagining the sparks... or if the woman she's been waiting on might just be the one she's been waiting for.

Eleanor Roselyn Bianchi was Jules Bianchi's golden girl-his little sister, his biggest supporter, and the one person who could always make him smile. Growing up in the spotlight of her brother's rising F1 career, Eleanor had everything she ever wanted... until tragedy struck.

petrichor, "the earthy scent produced when rain falls on dry soil". Kiara Black can't wait to graduate and leave her hometown in the past. Her relationship with her brother is on the rocks, her father seems to be involved in some business with a local gang leader and to make matters worse, she's starting at Forks High after being expelled from the school on the res. One year, Kiara tells herself, one year until she can get her life back. Rosalie Hale can't wait to leave Forks and move on to their next home. Out of all the places she's lived, this might always be one of her least favourites. The school was always filled with gossiping teenagers and the presence of the Quileute wolf pack simply irritated her more. What more could be said?

The war is over. Yet, only one left alive is her. A girl, they never paid enough attention to. A girl, who is to be sent in time and change the whole history. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nothing. There is nothing left behind, but corpses scattered around. Blood. They are all dead, because once again, I have failed to save them. Once again, I disappointed everyone around me. Once again, I am the only one, who is left behind, alone. I thought, no, I believed that I have improved. I believed that I have changed, caught up to my peers, became strong enough to stand side-by-side with them. Yet, evidence is here, all around me. They are all dead, leaving me only one alive. I bite my bottom lip, fighting tears that are pooling in my eyes. I have failed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Story Rankings : #1 in #Sakura #1 in #SakuraHaruno #1 in #Shippuden #4 in #Akatsuki #1 in #Haruno #4 in #Konoha #71 in #Naruto

Quinn stopped dead in her tracks when she found Piper. There she was, her wife, looking beautiful as ever in her dress and with her hair half up. Quinn could see the light pink lipstick on her lips - the cherry one, most likely - and she certainly didn't miss the earrings she was wearing that Quinn had gotten her for her birthday last year. She looked amazing - like a woman, even if the freckles littered across her face and down her neck and the fact that she refused to wear shoes in the house as she stood barefoot in front of her made her look a bit younger than she really was. But she still looked perfect. And that was without even mentioning the beautiful table she had, clearly, sat for them. Set after season 6 Disclaimer: Some of the characters aren't mine The Sequel to the books from my Picture Perfect series for Quinn Fabray that you can find on my works in this account. This story kind of stands on it's own so you don't really have to read the others first, but the past of the characters and their relationships with each other will be mentioned and everything will make much more sense if you do!

So Finn had asked the older kids to come and help him prep the glee kids for Sectionals and, of course, everyone was on board. "All right, do you realize, standing before you are legends?" Finn announced with a huge smile on his face as Piper rolled her eyes, amused from her place beside Quinn by the piano. "Any single one of these guys could be President of the United States one day." "I don't know about that." Artie mumbled. "And lucky for us, they've agreed to help us..." Finn continued, as Puck nodded. "Hang with the new chumps and see if some of our sheer awesomeness doesn't rub off on you." He said. "It will." Mike smirked, high-fiving his friend as Finn smiled. "When you hear your name, pair up." He said. "Puck, you're with your brother. Mike, you're with Ryder. Marley, you're with Piper. Kitty, you're with Quinn. Wade, Mercedes. Santana is gonna help me with putting together the show." Sequel to Picture Perfect - Books 1, 2 and 3 that you can find in my works!
