There are a lot of probabilities in life. For example, the odds of breaking a bone in your lifetime is 1:2, and the odds of being struck by lightening is 1:960,000, and the odds of winning the lottery are 1:45,057,474.
And despite the big "anything is possible" belief among people, if you were to ask someone - anyone - about the odds of me and Alex Fenders falling in love they would tell you it's absolutely, certainly and unquestionably impossible - 1:0, in fact.
But what if I was to tell you that sometimes, in very rare occasions, something happens: something, let's say, against all odds...

To her, love is a lie used only by boys at her school to trick and play the girls at her school. Love is a game. The game all the boys play to make a girl feel special like she's the only one that matters only for her heart to shatter into a million unfixable pieces. Love is a bet, a bet all boys cease to win. Callie is their next victim, and Jake is their next player.

The Corner Store
I fell for a boy with the kindest blue eyes, and a charming dimple. He made me feel loved, and cared for, and most importantly he made me feel safe in his presence. He came right in the middle of a tornadoe and managed to turn it into blue skies. He changed my perspective and gave me hope and strength." I looked at him, and he was smiling, and his eyes were a little glossy. He took my hand and kissed it, a small tear caught in the corner of his beautiful eyes. "I thought, hey, maybe life isn't so bad after all. Maybe I can finally allow myself to love and be loved, and to live life normally. When we went to your party, you told me to wait for you. But then your perverted cousin made me feel super uncomfortable, so I went looking for you, just to be able to feel at peace again. And that's when I saw it." My heart beats skyrocketed, because this was the moment everything changed forever. "Saw what?" Asked Axel. I took a deep breath, and continued. It's now or never. ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ Sophia Grace is a 25 year old Forensic Science major who recently started working as a cashier at her local grocery store - "The Corner Store".

Smile
Once upon a time... That's how all the fairytales begin, right? There's a girl who's mistreated and misunderstood. She meets a guy--probably the most popular guy in school (and hey, why not make him British while we're at it?). He's most likely very handsome and just as rich, and magically seems to understand her. It feels like they've known each other forever when in fact they've actually just met. It's love at first sight, the guy saves the girl from whatever misery she's in, they meet only two or three problems along the way, and then it's happily ever after. But this isn't a fairytale.

Chasing Charming ✔️
Complete! "You know I really like you, right?" He was definitely drunk. "You do?" I asked. My voice was supposed to be teasing, but I think it came off as a bit startled. He laughed, "Yeah, why else would I trust you with all my secrets?" -- Betty was many things; a romantic, a fashion designer, a bit more jealous than the average girl, great with a camera, a helpful daughter and a good friend. But she was best known for being nice. And usually, the boy did not want the 'nice' girl. But this summer she was going to prove to Mike, her crush since FOREVER, that nice was enough. She was going to have an amazing summer, a perfect Junior year, and finally have her first kiss. It was a foolproof plan. Moving from her childhood home in Arizona to New Mexico at the start of Junior year was never a part of Betty's plan. But sometimes when parents are involved, plans change. So now the nice girl had to start over at a new school in a new State. And when the (maybe not so bad) bad boy, Eli, gets involved, it might be hard to be known as 'the nice girl'.Complete
Fries Before Guys (Editing Again)
You know how in all the stories there's a nerd or an 'average girl' who ends up with the super popular, perfect jock that gave up his player ways just to have her? Yeah, well real life isn't like that. After a joke that went a little too far, I found myself with a crush on one of the most popular guys in the school. Unfortunately, I didn't get a happy ending like in all the books and movies. He didn't feel the same. Never did and never will... ...but maybe the happy ending isn't always about getting the guy.Complete
