Casey Jones wants to be famous. 

Together, with his ragtag group of bandmates, Casey thinks he might finally be able to make something of himself, maybe even make his parents proud in the process, but that's before a disaster during the school talent show sends his life spiraling out of control. His band starts falling apart, his grades start slipping, the pressure from his parents doesn't let up, and his younger brother continues to cast a shadow that Casey's not sure he'll ever make it out of.

Casey Jones is in for a few hard lessons about family, friends, and making the most of the hand he's been dealt.

Wrong Impression by Wimbug

Angie Jones is poor. And not the cute "I wish I could afford Prada" poor, but rather the "a notebook or a sandwich?" kind. But she has a plan. She'll study hard, get a full scholarship and go to college. Then, maybe she can land a job which would allow her to help her family more. But her dreams of a perfect GPA shatter when her biology teacher decides studying won't be enough to pass his class. Enter Tom, a mysterious DJ who knows everything there is to know on the subject. And as an added bonus, he offers to tutor Angie for free. If only he wouldn't be so much fun and so damn good looking. Tom didn't know he had a generous bone in his body, and yet he offered one of his few free afternoons to a total stranger. One he's getting much too attached to after his recent brush with lost love and drama. There's just something about her, a mystery he needs to unravel that goes beyond her beauty. And it's deeply seeded in her refusal to relax around him or anyone else. The closer they come to each other, the more complicated their lives get. And when the truth finally comes out, all hell breaks loose. After all, it was nothing but a wrong impression. 🔱🔱🔱 Warning: This is frustrating poor people bad romance.

A Boy Named Jasper {Wattpad Featured Novel} by MidnightRose55

For with God nothing shall be impossible. (Luke 1:37) ~~~~~ Jasper is a screwed up kid, yet no one cares enough to find out why. Bruises hide his arms and alcohol stains the walls of his house, but he pushes forward because it's the only thing left for him to do. His days are spent in and out of the school psychologist's office, while his nights are spent in fear of his father. His guitar and the secluded spot by the train tracks where he likes to play are the only saving graces in the hell that is his life. No one disrupted this normal routine until Callie came. Callie is far from screwed up; she doesn't have family issues and doesn't understand the first thing about Jasper's world. Her house is filled with answered prayers and smiles of people who love each other. Her arms are clear and her head is full of optimism that Jasper doesn't buy for a second. She never second guessed her sunny disposition on life until she stumbled upon a boy and his guitar down by the train tracks. Callie and Jasper weren't supposed to cross paths. She wasn't supposed to care and he wasn't supposed to let her get under his skin, but then again opposites weren't supposed to attract either. Callie saw the good in him where most people thought there was none ; she was captivated by Jasper because he made her question everything she knew about the world. She thought it would be easy to teach him that there was still good left in the world, that there was more beyond all the bad he'd become accustomed to. She thought fixing him would be easy, but nothing worthwhile is ever easy and sometimes it takes more than one girl's overly optimistic persistence to pull a person out of the hell they've been living in; sometimes it takes faith and realizing that some things can't be done without it... ~~~~~ -Highest Ranking: #8 in spiritual, 10/25/17 ; #1 in Christianity, 2019 -Wattpad Featured Novel: 10/19/17

The Bad Boy Saved Me by Pentatonix21

Do you ever wonder what life would be like if it were a movie? Or some sappy romance novel that you wish your life could be like but it's not? Sometimes you may even get to caught up in the fictional world that you don't realise it IS fictional. Then when you do realise life isn't what you convinced yourself it would be, there is only one possible outcome. Depression. Which may lead to anxiety, self-harm, low self esteem, and worst of all, losing the people you love. Life works in weird ways. Not just for you but for others too. Take Cassidy Rivers for example. Her life is far from perfect. No parents, over protective big brother, few friends, and Asher Norman, the bad boy who won't stop picking on her. Could life get any worse for Cassidy?
