Honestly, Brin thought this would be more thrilling. Stowing away in the back of a car, that is. So far she's incurred a bruised butt, what feels like a hundred speed bumps, and a music playlist that made her ears bleed. 

Some Saturday this turned out to be.
                           ___

19 year old Brin Henderson can honestly say she's never ventured outside the town Clearview, except through the novels she devours at the local library where she works, Widgets.

Enter Elliott Mitchell, faithfully occupying a booth nearly everyday for two months. 

Nearing the end of a shift, Brin spots the book Elliott left behind. Returning it proves difficult since her boss has donated it to a library a few towns over.

What happens next is a tale of humour, high jinks and love.

And like any rebellious teenager, she has the tendency to get herself into many many...many sticky situations. Lucky for her then, that she has a boat load of people willing to help her fix her messes. Chase Reynolds is one of those people. The yin to her yang, ice to her fire. He keeps her feet on the ground, she keeps his head in the clouds. No matter her antics, he was always going to have her back. She knew it, he knew it, everyone knew it. They've always been Chase and Lee, Lee and Chase. Best friends since forever. But what happens when the lines between friendship and love become blurred?

When it's difficult for Skyler to move on from her silly little crush, she just has to take a leap of faith... at least that's what she was advised.

Or so had she thought until she collided with the cheeky green-eyed boy, Kayden Lawson, who had the most charming tricks up his sleeve - tricks just smooth enough to make Elaine realise, that maybe, indeed, she did wear her heart out on her sleeve. Maybe, for a few late night talks, stolen glances and shy flirty exchanges - Elaine was completely willing to change everything about herself - to fit in. To make Kayden keep looking at her. But unfortunately, every person does not know how to keep care of another's heart, and often end up breaking them. And spoiler alert, Kayden turned out to be one of them. Too bad that even after her heart was abandoned, Elaine's heart kept singing Kayden's name like a long-forgotten song. Too bad that, undoubtedly, heartbreak weather had come. • ════ ⋆★⋆ ════ • unedited. ©2022 to Aishi Mitra @aishixwrites.

Bliss by MissLaughALot_

Two weeks. Two weeks of sun, sand and stress-free fun. At least that's the package Lizzie was sold. Little does she know, the package was a dream. A sweetly wrapped lie fed to her by those she trusts the most. There will be sand, sure. And sun, lots of it. But stress-free? Well, with Isaac in tow, that's pretty much impossible. Convinced he's still bad news, Lizzie is determined to enjoy every single second of her vacation without him. Just because he's next door doesn't mean they'll cross paths...right?

Connections | ✔️ by CxTannir

[COMPLETE] Soz this may be cringe, it was written very long ago A seemingly ordinary, working college girl meets a cool, undeniably sexy boy with millions of followers at his feet. How will their completely different lives allow, or prevent them from getting what they want? Expect some drama, flirty lines, steamy scenes, funny best friends, and perhaps, an overall epic love connection. ~ Carter came around the corner as his eyes darkened with a predatory gaze. Oh no. He took a step forward, minimalizing the distance with every dominating stride, as I froze in my spot. My breath hitched as his arms finally encircled my waist and his eyes locked with mine. In one swift motion, he flipped my body so my back was pressed against his chest and hands gripped the curve of my hips. "What game are you trying to play at Valerie?" he spoke in a husky voice. Goosebumps danced along my skin as his hot breath fanned against the shell of my ear and his fingertips lit a trail of blazing heat along the length of my arm. Mentally shaking myself from the trance of that which is Carter Bryson, I tilted my head towards him and whispered; "One where you'll lose." Quickly escaping his hold on me before the tension became unbearable, I spun on my heel to face him and slowly backed away towards the exit. "Good luck though." I added mischievously. With a smirk and a devilish glint in his eyes that could even give hell a run for its money, he replied; "I'm not a player though, baby. I'm the gamemaker." ~ ❗️Mature content.
