"It's better to be basic than over-complicated."
Everybody says that Emma is basic. She likes drinking pumpkin spice lattes, checking her Snapchat, and shopping at places like Ardene's and Claire's. Emma lives her life normally like the people around her-or so she thought. People in St. Adam's Academy don't understand that you can be different, so Emma is out of luck. Another thing they don't understand? Emma doesn't mean to be this way.
A story of drama, bullying, love, and a realization that it's okay to be different.

It Wasn't Love βοΈ
"Fuck." He whispers into my neck, sending a thrill of excitement through my body. His lips still smothered kisses over my neck and his hands roamed my body, starting at my chest, going down to my stomach. Caressing my soft skin, his thumb trailed circles on my groin before slightly slipping into the waistband of my jeans. My breath catches in my throat as I pull at the hoodie that covered his chiselled body. Understanding, Jacob pulls it off in one swift movement before attaching his lips back on my neck. Sucking and biting it before flicking his tongue over the sore spot. A quiet moan leaves my mouth and I clasp my hand over it, denying any noise to escape.

Helplessly Falling For Mr. Hunter
"I should be allowed." He says with gritted teeth. His voice filled with something. A thing a lot like desire that brings me back to crazy reality. A reality where we are tangled up against each other. "You should be al...-" A gasp escapes my mouth as he lifts me up or rather goes further low for me. His hands, back on my waist. Face buried in the crook of my neck, he inhales into my skin. Still inhaling he lets out a manly groan that I feel everywhere, in places I didn't know existed. The places that come to life because of him. "I should be allowed to touch you." He rasps in my neck. My back arches up and I close my eyes at his declaration. At his domination. At his intoxication. "You should be allowed to touch me." I insist. Brain empty. Because I can't think right now. He lifts his head up then, I notice his eyes have gone darker. His features have gone wilder. Representing an untamed animal in a way. ------------------------- Isabella Evans is your typical good girl who has a bit of a dark past.

Mystery Diary (DISCONTINUED)
Ok started this in 2017, it's currently 2019 and I'm not the same person who wrote this, my style is completely different and so are my opinions and personality, I apologise if u want to read this but I like to keep it up on here as a memory of who I was. Elle Gordy. That's me. Plain old Elle Gordy. I was completely happy and content with my life. That's what everyone thought. No one knew how I hated almost every day in the year. There's more to me than what meets the eye. No one knew that I was thriving for something interesting to happen in my life. Everyone saw me as a straight A student who never did anything wrong. Because everyone saw me as that person I could never be anything else. Until something changed everything. Something gave me a chance to be myself. And this is how it all happened.Complete
Gingerbread Latte
Book #4 in the "Bloodlines & Ashes" series (Can be read as a standalone) I had a plan: Go to college, have lots of sex, and eventually become a doctor. Simple, right? Yeah, well, that was the idea until a family secret came out and flipped my whole world upside down. Fast forward to an accident and a kidney transplant later; I'm left wondering who the hell I even am anymore. That's when she came tumbling into my life. A red-haired stranger on the hospital rooftop, barging into my existential crisis, dragging me-literally-away from the edge. (For the record, I wasn't going to jump. Probably.) She's beautiful, fiery, and...insanely frustrating. She refused to tell me her name, declared my parents must be gay, and walked away like she didn't just turn my entire world upside down. Sounds like the start of a great love story, doesn't it? Here's the problem: she doesn't think so. She's immune to my charm, dismisses me as some campus jock, and seems entirely uninterested in giving me the time of day. Naturally, her rejection only makes me more determined to prove her wrong. Enter the deal: tutoring sessions, gingerbread lattes, and endless chances to show her that I'm more than just a guy with good hair and charm. Her story? I need to know it.β¨ Her trust? I'll earn it. But the closer I get, the more I realize I'm in way over my head. Because, like they say, too much ginger can give you heartburn-and my heart? It's already hanging by a thread.Complete

'πππ πππ π ππ ππππ,' 'πππ ππππππππ ππ π πππππ' ππππ I was raised with diamonds in my hair and a knife behind my back. Money was never my problem-people were. They called me porcelain: smooth, flawless, untouchable. But porcelain cracks. And I shattered. After a scandal that my mother buried with hush money and threats, I was shipped off to boarding school like last season's mistake. Now I'm back for senior year at Royal Elite-bored, bitter, and boiling beneath the surface. I'm not the sweet, shiny thing they remember. I'm chaos in couture. And I'm here to burn it all down. My former best friend barely looks me in the eye. My enemies smile with sharpened teeth. And Ronan Astor-golden boy, empire heir, and smug bastard-can't stop poking the bear. He thinks I'm just a spoiled brat with a temper. He doesn't know I've got a list. And he's on it. Let them play their games. I'll play to win. Because bored rich girls don't stay bored for long. We burn the whole damn board. πππππ Iris Hawthrone. Red hair, red nails, red flags. She's the girl they write warning labels about-untouchable, unbothered, and completely unpredictable. The last time she was here, she left a mess behind. Now she's back, all sharp stares and silk skirts, like nothing ever touched her. But I know better. She wants vengeance. I want her on her knees-preferably for me. We hate each other. That much is true. But hate has a thin line, and we're both really good at crossing it. She's fire. I'm gasoline. And we're about to make this place burn. Rated mature for violence. And smut scenes (πͺπππ πππ ππ πΉπππ ππππ πππ πππ πππππππππ πππ πππππππππ !! πππ ππππ πππππππππ π πππ πππ π°
