She was the girl who held all the guy's hearts. 
He was the first one to give his heart to her.
She was the one who he would dream about each night. 
He was the one that she despised. 
She was the one who broke his heart when she left. 

It was your average elementary school romance. Boy liked girl, girl fabricated a hatred for the boy. From the moment she agreed to hold his hand in kindergarten to the moment she told him she hated his guts, Declan Washington fell in love with Jamie Aarons. When she moved away in 5th grade, she left a trail of broken hearts, one of them being his. 

Now, 6 years later, Jamie returns to her hometown for a summer away from Minnesota. When these two meet again, sparks fly and the roles are reversed, making this summer one to remember.

The Bad Boy and Me by readbooksforever
36 parts Complete
Meet Violet Summers. She's the sarcastic girl who doesn't really ever get noticed by anyone. She blends into any crowd because of how "normal" she is. And she loves it. She wouldn't be able to stand the attention of everyone around her. That's why she won't tell Ryan Bloore, her crush for three years, that she practically worships the ground he walks on. Ryan is the captain of the basketball team at their school, so guys see him like he's a god and girls act like he walks on water. If they were to date, all eyes would be on her- she would be under everyone's scrutiny. So she's kept her feelings a secret, and she's done her best to suppress her emotions these past years, but she's realized that she's been so caught up in making people not notice her that she didn't realize how lonely she would be when no one was watching. Now meet Ryder Knight. School bad boy. Quarterback captain and heartthrob. The kind that wears a leather jacket and has tattoos all over his arms. The one who shows up to school riding a motorcycle. Just your average run of the mill "if you get involved with this guy, you will meet some serious trouble" kind of male. Well, too bad for Violet, she's stuck with him now. After all of the years of pushing away her feelings for Ryan because of her fear of being seen, she is now all anyone can look at- because of Ryder. Because of him, she can feel their stares, and she hates him for it. The longer they spend time together, the more Ryder starts to realize he actually enjoys being around her-despite her snarky comments about how much she despises him. And if Violet is being completely honest with herself, she's also starting to realize she might not actually hate the fact that people are noticing her now, but hate the way Ryder makes her feel.

A venture that will lead her down a path of self-discovery and unexpected love. *** When eighteen-year-old April Lewis' mom walks around like a zombie, evades all attempts to talk and controls her every move, April decides she's had enough. She leaves home one warm summer evening with nothing but a yellow backpack filled with her coveted dad's letters he's been sending her for the past months, and some bare necessities. She's determined to seek him out and go live with him down on the West Coast, where he has a temporary job. The last thing April expects is almost being hit by a car. The owner of the vehicle? Her classmate, Dave Rivera, a troubled boy whom she almost never talked to before, and who can't be more different than her. After making sure April is just a little banged-up, Dave strikes a deal with her: he'll help her get to the West Coast free of charge, as long as she doesn't report him to the cops. The two embark upon a road trip from NY to LA, navigating through stunning landscapes and meeting a colorful cast of characters. While sharing life stories and exchanging experiences, armed with the wisdom from her Dad's letters, April and Dave discover that they are a lot more alike than they originally thought. The journey slowly becomes more important than the destination, and their path takes an unexpected turn when a shocking secret comes to light. © 2024 EvelynHail Exclusively on Wattpad Based on prompt 4!

Shane Erickson has loved only one woman since he was 15 years old. They met there freshman year of high school. The night of senior prom, he promised Sorsha Williams that he would love her forever and always. But the next day Sorsha disappeared and not even her family knew where she was or where she went. She was just missing and Shane was broken hearted. In the following years, Shane stayed true to his love while at the same time working his way up to become president of one of the most feared MC clubs in the country. On the one year anniversary of Sorsha's disappearance and the following 10 years after that, Shane receives a postcard with nothing on it except the sentence "I will always love you." On the 12th anniversary Shane doesn't receive a postcard. Instead he receives a letter along with a surprise.
