"Max, you're going to have to tell them about the book." 
  "God damn it, Sam. Do I have to? I mean, like, I just went through this and I don't really-" 
  "Max, do the description."
  "In our quaint home town, Emerald Bay, are secrets and actions that must never be uncovered. No, I'm not talking about the Salem trials, even though that would be cool. I'm talking about abuse, death, overweight corgis, supremely muscular jocks that are totally on steroids, phallic cookie baking, and horrible novel writing." 
  "Tell them about the good parts of it."
  "Hold your damn tits; I was getting to it. There's also a love plot, self discovery, deep symbols, three dimensional characters, and cinnamon buns. Is that it, or is there-"
  "We hope you enjoy the story and enjoy the three months of work it took to get this off the ground!"
  "That was my part."
  "I don't care. Just smile and wave, Max."All Rights Reserved

The Light House Girl. by Growling_moon

17-year-old Abigail Wells, known as Abbie, is shipped off to live with her estranged mother. The same woman whom Abbie has not seen since she was about three years old. Abbie's dad, Keith, is not a good guy and hates her passionately. Her home life was not good growing up yet he was the only parent she has ever known. Her only constant. Adeline Cobwell, Abbie's mother, lives in a small town, Reef's Paradise located in Florida. As the name indicates, the town is sort of a paradise for people residing there. Hidden alcove of a town, separated from busy cities surrounding it. The local saying, 'once you are here, you never want to leave,' is something all townsfolk here adhere to. Just like any other small town, Reef's Paradise has its own stories and secrets. Most of such stories are known to all the residents but unknown to the newcomer, Abbie. One such intriguing story is about the Light House, located at the far end of the town on a deserted beach. There is something about the stories, and the Light House itself that attracts Abbie even before she finds out a secret, hiding in it. This is a story about Abbie's journey to self-discovery, to learn what love and care truly mean. Being a teenager is not easy nor is peeling off layers of masks, especially when you have them on for so long. When anger is the only emotion Abbie's known to express for so long things are bound to explode. This is my first story here. Comments and feedback are appreciated.

Keeping Up With the Sammy by SamanthaMichelle0

Hello! My name is Sam and, surprise, I write! Instead of throwing another common Wattpad teen romance your way, I decided to use this commonly used website as a journal for everyone to judge me! So if you want to read about my weird crazy life or just wanna dive into something a bit relaxing to take away the stresses of your day, I welcome you here to my little corner. Snuggle up and enjoy 💜 And as always, Stay Lovely ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 09/24 Hey, it's me Sam again, but four years later from what you just read this thing is essentially a blog, let's be honest, but hey, maybe if you're into that we can have a laugh together. And if you're about to swipe out this because this isn't very Wattpad aesthetic, I understand, I hope you have a great day, and again, Stay Lovely

Blame it on our Fates by candyflossmachine

♡ His gaze was deep, deeper than the purest oceans, fixated on my every move, making me squirm under the heat. If it were not for my helplessness, I would have never even been here in the first place. But yes, I needed his help before it was too late and my grades and the ground-level were equally at height. So I was expecting him to be cocky, make a huge deal out of him. But I was definitely not expecting what stumbled out of his mouth. ❝Okay, I'll tutor you Brown. But you also have to agree to what I say,❞ he said as his lips twitched upwards into his infamous signature smirk. ❝And what is that may I ask?❞ I asked him as I crossed my arms against my chest. ❝You have to be my friend,❞ he said, the little smirk vanishing, and in its place was a smile I wasn't used to. ♡ When something terrible happens in the life of the 'Nerd Of the School', a title she earned back in the middle school, Cadence Brown is shaken. Her focus from her ultimate goal; studies is disturbed. She wants to get back in line and concentrate again on her studies but is unable to, because of the constant plaguing of her self deprecating thoughts. Nolan Moore is the scary, broody bad boy everyone was afraid of. His name is enough the send an uncomfortable shiver down one's spine. Despite having rugged looks, the girls are too scared to flirt with him and the guys, definitely don't want to mess with him, risking to break a bone or two. But deep inside the bad boy facade was a guy who is a nerd, someone who scores really well. ♡ When circumstances force Nolan to tutor Cadence, he jumps at the opportunity and a new friendship is bloomed. ♡ Warning: Do not read this book. It has many typos. Though I am a Grammar Nazi, I am a human first and hence the mistakes! Read at your own risk! The book gets better after 10

Take No Notice ✓ by AdultOfTheFuture

[ A COMPLETED 2020 TEEN MYSTERY ] Life can take a turn for the worst when you least expect it, spiralling deeply out of control in mere days. It's hard to see the signs sometimes; it may be personality changes, or even just an odd remark, but if we don't recognise these differences then grave consequences await us. It could be failing an important test, missing a friend's birthday, but sometimes people take it a little too far... A text. A fire. A killer. Who can we really trust in this world? And do we need to look closer to sense great deception? _________________________ Achievements: 🥈Second Place in the EC Awards - Mystery/Thriller Rated Eighty Plus in Shreya's Book Reviews 🥈 Second Place in the Carnation Awards - Mystery/Thriller 🥇 First Place in The Candle Light Awards _________________________ (Cover by @-carawrites) (Images found from the internet, credits to Lily Collins and party) All Rights Reserved.

Altered by LuellaOpal

Have you ever met someone who alters the course of your life? For good or for bad, they've come in, given and taken, and then- BOOM! Your life was never the same. There's always a change, an altering of reality. When you meet those people, the reality that you've known your whole life is suddenly gone and a new one has taken its place. When those moments happen, there's no going back. You can try to return to the way things were but nothing, and I mean nothing, can take you back to exactly how it was. That's what happened to us. I think that's why we're still trying so desperately to get back to some sort of normalcy. Four years later and we're still on the ground, crawling, in search of the happiness that was lost that June. Summers will never be the same. Midnight walks through my neighborhood will never be the same. Field parties with bonfires and loud music will never be the same. I still don't know why you left and what lead you to the decision you made. What I do know is that we're here. We're alive and we're pushing forward to the future. A future that you're not a part of. But in some ways, I'm glad you're not a part of it. I just wish it wasn't like this. *** TRIGGER WARNING*** SA, abuse, suicide, substance abuse, and mental illness. This is a complete story that is much like life; fast, full of surprises, and not always how we want it to be. This has been a project of mine for over three years. It was self-published on Amazon, but after some issues in publication, I decided to just upload it on here. I hope you fall in love with these characters like I have. The friends in this story are trying to make names for themselves, figure out who they are, who they can trust, how to love, and how to separate themselves from a restrictive community. As in any coming of age story, they will experience growing pains... but will they survive them before its too late? PLEASE READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS.

Kiss with a fist (completed) by vgcampos

"What's your name?" He tries again. Should I tell him so he can shut up? Or will he just keep talking. "Fine. Don't tell me. But personally I think we are going to be great friends. Maybe I should tell you a bit about myself so you can trust me. Stranger danger and all that. That's why you're not talking to me right?" I don't respond. "So here it goes. My name is Alexander Daniel Woods. I have amazing black hair and piercing green eyes as told to me by various ladies. My major is in marketing. My blood type is O positive, my social security number is 45-" "Oh my god, do you ever shut up?" I finally break. :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Sometimes when you least expect it, you find the one person you never knew you needed. Even if they annoy you at first. When senior college student Amelia gets paired with Alex for an English assignment, she thinks she'll never survive class with his overly cocky attitude. Little do they know, both will be leaning on each other when their respective pasts come back to haunt them. ______________________________________ Notes: Completed *Highest rank : #8 in Chicklit *Featured on on Chicklits "What's hot" list *Cover made by @Silver-masked-devil
