Once Upon A Bus Ride by iamtheeamani

Morgan Hall is your average teenager. That is if you consider having a billionaire CEO of a world renowned company as a dad and a fashion designer of one of the most famous lines in the world as a mother average. Let's not leave out her singer/actress of a sister who's taking the world by storm. Morgan was no doubt born with a giant silver spoon in her mouth, but her life isn't always as perfect as it seems. Aaron Smith, quiet and reserved, admired my many for his good looks. He doesn't seem to associate himself with many people. Which is why it's so strange when he finds himself becoming friends with the rich, little, daddy's girl...at least that's what he thinks of her. Fate and chance are at work when they cross paths one afternoon on a bus. Throw in crazy lives and secret identities, and you get one hell of a ride on the road to self discovery. What Morgan doesn't know is that one stubborn move could land her a new friend, and possibly even more. ~~~~~ "It's amazing...magical even, how hearing one song can take you back to a single moment or a series of them, just so you can live it all over again," he said. "I think that's the best part about music. It's like time travel you know? Going back to the past, or sometimes even visualizing the future...what we could be." "What about the sad moments?" I asked softly. "Nobody wants to re-live those." "Maybe not, but that's the entirety of it," he answered, raising his hand to brush away the hair from my face before tucking it behind my ear. "There's always good in the bad, and bad in the good. Balance." His fingers trailed down my arm, sending shock waves through me. "Can I tell you something?" I asked softly. The corner of his lips curved upwards in a small smile. "You can tell me anything."

On the Edge of Tomorrow by 0liviaRose436

The choices of youth shape the lives of many. What if falling in love meant giving up yourself, and your privacy; would you still fall? Focused on her future, Lily Turncott went to a concert for one reason: to end her dead-end relationship, but she finds herself in a chance encounter with Billy Collins, a magnetic musician on the cusp of stardom. While the connection is instant and undeniable, they are moving in different directions. Lily, focused on the endless possibilities of her budding future as she works through the second half of her college career, is drawn to Billy just as the musical career he has been chasing for half a decade is finally catapulting him to the foreign world of praise and fame. Lily's fear of being lost in the shadow of Billy's bright lights and loud concerts and Billy's gentlemanly reluctance to pull her to a world where Lily could be muted push them to set aside their love, but life continues to draw them together as they try to navigate their blossoming lives.
