"I was not expecting to see such a beautiful man in that small cafe on 31st Street. Nor did I expect to fall in love with him from afar. But, being the shy person I was, I just looked at him through the lens of my camera, hoping that one day I would gain enough courage to actually talk to him. But all I really needed were the daily pictures I snapped of him."

❃  ❃  ❃ 

Camilla Monterio is a photographer. An amazing one at that. But one day, she heads to the small cafe down the street, and spots the most gorgeous boy she's ever seen. Being 17, almost 18, she wants to take a chance and do something she would never do otherwise: she snaps a picture of him.

But little does she know, the nerdy boy from her school is slowly trying to get her attention. Will she realize that someone else had feelings for her and forget about Mystery Boy? Or will she keep taking those daily photos of Mystery Boy long enough to realize that maybe it wasn't the best thing to do in the first place?All Rights Reserved

The Other Side Of The Lens by kjocelyn81

"That was weird, but I can't stop my heart beating ten times faster than it should be. Laying down on the bed I face away from the bathroom door not wanting him to look at me. I pull the white cover up to my nose and look at the wall. I hear the bathroom door open and footsteps reach closer to the bed. The covers are being moved behind me as Mateo gets ready to sleep. I reach up to turn off the lap on my nightstand, and when I do we're left in the dark abyss of my room. Mateo's arm wraps itself around my waist and pulls me back into his hard chest. He gently lifts my head up and puts it back down onto his bicep. I take in a shaky breath and close my eyes deciding it is best to just sleep. Feeling his breath on the crown of my head, I'm more relaxed than I was before and start feeling sleepier by the second. But before sleep overtakes my mind. I hear Mateo mutter something. "Good night sweetheart." ~~~~~~ Moving on. Growing up. The fears of Mateo and Veronica. Two strangers who have been attending the same high school for the past three years.

You Belong To Me by __anvesha_

Kiera has been in and out of various foster houses since she was seven. Her life was very aloof from any other ordinary kid. She never got what she wanted, never had really loving parents and never wished for anything. She just wanted to be independent. So, when, just a few months shy from turning eighteen, she's sent off to a new foster house in Manhattan, she enters the house with five thoughts. Be calm. Don't get punished. Don't cause any tantrums. Don't get friendly. And get the hell out. But what she doesn't realize is that the house is very different from the other houses she's ever been to. She was about to get furious, get punished, cause tantrums, get friendly and worse...fall in love. But life isn't a fairy tale. Not every story is supposed to have a happy ending... or does it? "Physically he was my dream, and in every other way, my nightmare..." ******************************** My first story... The story is better than its description. Since I'm not very good with descriptions, I couldn't write much. Just give it a try... ******************************** RANKINGS SO FAR: #7 badboyromance #9 confusedlove #20 toxiclove #96 badboygoodgirl

The Average Girl *** (Camren) by Misty4CS

It was a story of an average girl named Lauren. She graduated from college and started a job that people thought was one of the most boring jobs in the world. She could not care less as she enjoyed it. Her love life was even duller, but she did not put much thought into it. Lauren always went to prom alone since she never had someone special at school. Love was something that Lauren never experienced: a few temporary crushes, but no dates, no boyfriends, no girlfriends. She had not had her first kiss, let alone something more than a kiss. She thought, and everybody thought she was just one of those average girls. Everything was fine until one Saturday afternoon, Lauren suddenly felt her life was so dull. It was not really about her job but overall about her life. She wanted to change her life. She wanted to do something new. She felt the urge to do something different, but she had no idea where to start. She felt helpless. How was this average girl going to cope with her dull life? What was she going to do? Would she be able to make her life more colorful? Would she turn into someone not average? *** Camila GP ***

"I hate you." "Are you sure? I don't think I got a fair chance." "I am." "Are you very sure?" "Has anyone ever told you that you're full of yourself?" "No." "Well, they should." ·̩̩̥͙＊*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚＊·̩̩̥͙ Her definition of perfect was quiet and dull. He was anything but. Theo Parker was full of life; smiles always lighting his face and a camera on him, ready to snap a photo at any given moment along with almost living at the basketball court. Smiling at anyone who looked his way. She wanted to hate him, but she couldn't find it in her to do so. He defined perfection as impossible. Until he met her. He was aware of the glares and harsh words she sent his way, but under what seemed like not so subtle hatred she was smart and caring. Camilla Moretti didn't need anyone's approval or cared about their opinions. She didn't need anyone, and he admired that. Sometimes staying is easier than leaving; but maybe leaving would've been more simple. ·̩̩̥͙＊*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚＊·̩̩̥͙ I just wish someone would stay

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.
