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.

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 ✓Concluida

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.

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.Concluida

She also watches these terrible things happen to Lexi Talon, but suddenly she finds herself in a similar situation. A boy from the woods keeps saving her. But how will all this end?

Maybe
An internal voice whispered, "Call him." But I chose not to. I dismissed it once more, saying, "He never liked me anyway." Yet the dilemma lingered. "But maybe he does.

No, wait-oh my god." --- After switching high schools, Nina discovered a new way of life. She fell in love, made wonderful friends, and everything seemed perfect.
