When Jonah is forced to move from Hamilton to Cross Pointe for the second half of his senior year, "miserable" doesn't even begin to cover it. He feels like the doggy-bag from his mother's first marriage and everything else about her new life with a new husband, new home and a new baby is an upgrade. The people at Cross Pointe High School are pretentious and privileged and worst of all is Brighton Waterford, the embodiment of all things superficial and popular. Jonah's girlfriend, Carly, is his last tie to what feels real... until she breaks up with him.
For Brighton, every day is a gauntlet of demands and expectations. Since her father died, she's relied on one coping method: smile big and pretend to be fine. It may have kept her family together, but she has no clue how to handle how she's really feeling. Today is the anniversary of his death and cracks are beginning to show. The last thing she needs is the new kid telling her how much he dislikes her for no reason she can understand. She's determined to change his mind, and when they're stuck together for the night, she finally gets her chance.
Jonah hates her at 3p.m., but how will he feel at 3 a.m.?
One night can change how you see the world. One night can change how you see yourself.
This is a preview of the first 13 chapter of Bright Before Sunrise.

Hey There Cliché. Fuck Off. [complete]
"Are you ever afraid of being alone?" I asked after a while. A question that had randomly popped into my mind. I wasn't expecting him to answer me, but he did. Jonah turned his face, but I didn't look back at him, I kept staring up at the skies. He turned back to the sky and took a breather before answering. "We're always going to be alone, Rose. Always. We'll be haunted by the darkness that is our own shadow, but in every shadow there's a light." He answered, as if the simplest thing in the world. I only stared at him with a dropped jaw. That was out of this world. Especially coming from Jonah. "When does it get better?" I mumbled. "It doesn't. But to go through it with someone makes it a whole lot easier." He turned back to face me. We stared at each other for a while. He'd always occasionally look down at my lips, and I'd do the same to him. I broke it off and looked back up at the sky. -=- New York City. The place of opportunities. But what shall Rose do when there's so many of them? Jonah, the seducer with a British accent, or Cameron, equally British but sweet. Her clock is ticking. She has one year to make up her mind until the exchange program takes back all their Brits and their New Yorkers return. And so the end-of-the-year party is the final strike. Either Rose chooses...or she doesn't. *WARNING* I began this book (my first book ever) when I was like 11 or 12 years old so the first chapters (idk how many) suck, not gonna lie. I had scrapped so many ideas (that I only really wrote a few chapters of) that when I was older enough to realize the story I had going so far sucked, I didn't want to scrap again, so I finished for that sake in a span of 3 years (and ended in 2014). All in all, not my greatest work, but read on if you wish. Text Copyright © droppedintoxic™ 2014Concluída

True Love/ Raura
A/N, Warning: this book is so old and I made it when I didn't know how to write properly, so it's kind of ridiculous and not logical. There's grammar mistakes and stupid lines and this isn't my writing anymore!!! I've grown out of it and you can check out my most recent books if you want something good to read. If you wanna read this too that's fine, but don't be surprised at the amount of cringey ridiculousness in it. Proceed!💗 The hockey player and the cheerleader . Now from the movies and books you've read, you'd think that this would be the 'IT' couple but if you told them this ,they'd think you're crazy. He was hot ,he was cute and maybe even sweet sometimes but he was also a player ,a jerk ,the one boy at your high school that you call the typical "Bad boy ". Laura on the other hand was popular but she was very sweet .Her popularity and reputation on being a cheerleader, didn't stop her from being nice to everyone.She was that social butterfly. So they were opposites .In some ways at least .Why did they hate each other? Well it had to do with a little incident when they were only 5 .The day they first meet.They now have that sexual tension and the fact that they were both hot didn't help . They also have quite a history with each other from their family's being friends AND hanging out in the same friend group (which leaded to ALOT of teasing from friends )but the one thing they didn't know was that ,they would make a whole lot more history .The history of their lives . ...Read and find out how two enemies fall in love......Sexual tension? Yes. Cliche ? 100% . Romance ? You know it.You might want to seat down for this ;) ~~~~ If you're going to check out this book I'd suggest you also read my other book The Moon and The Sun as well! It's definitely an upgrade from this one :) -- COMPLETE ✓Concluída
I kissed the Golden boy
Jordan never noticed Juliet. Juliet had given up to get his attention. And if they end up hiding together in the same closet, he can't stop talking about himself. So how to shut him up? Kissing him... *** Jordan Decker is an arrogant senior in King Valley, a footballer and an A-grade student. All teachers liked him, girls adored him and guys wanted to be friends with. A total cliche. And like always, in every girly romantic book, he has the gorgeous girlfriend, luxury car and EGO as big as New York City. Juliet Maine has a lot on her plate, working as a waitress in Lory's Diner she is asked to open a new business in her hometown. After graduation she will fly to New York to study law at NYU, leaving her family behind and start her independent life. When she is pulled into her highschool's crush's love-life problems, she finally understands why falling in love with him was a bad idea. But she doesn't know that Jordan had noticed her from day one. *** PREVIEW into chapter 8 I climb up the stairs and find myself in a long corridor what spread to two directions. Matt's bedroom was on the east wing so I turn to my left and walk toward the last door in the end. But before I can reach half way, a door on my right opens and out runs Jordan. We bump into each other. "What the..???" I steady myself, grabbing his jacket and prevent myself from falling backward. "Run!" He says. "What?" I release him. "Run," he grabs my hand and starts pulling me with him. "Why would I...?" I turn around while I'm dragged toward the stairs and see Tiffany, all angry and face cherry red come throw the door Jordan had exited a minute ago. "You dirty bitch!" She yells at the top of her lungs as she sees me, Jordan's hand still gripes me. Amazing cover by @uniqueread.Concluída
