Kissing Finn by JenessaConnor

With every one of Finn's kisses, Charlie loses a little bit of her old self. Right now, maybe that's what she needs. *** Charlie Wolfe, introvert and secret poet, keeps her social circle small... like, it's more of a straight line than a circle. So, when Jackie Donnelly, her best friend since first grade, very publicly ditches her their senior year, she's heartbroken and humiliated. Her instinct is to hide, so she immerses herself in a culinary arts/creative writing independent study that guarantees her solitude. But a scheduling mix-up forces Charlie to share her workspace with Finn Cavello, an advanced art student who regularly skips school, talks back to teachers, and steals Charlie's supplies. She's frustrated and annoyed by Finn's bad boy act... until she finds herself locked in a janitor's closet with him. Charlie quickly discovers that breaking the rules is not only fun but borderline addictive, especially when you have an accomplice like Finn. But, after Finn reveals the destructive side of his personality, Charlie begins to wonder if she can be with him without losing herself. Or if maybe it's already too late.

✬ 𝕋𝕙𝕖 𝔻𝕒𝕣𝕜 ＆ 𝕃𝕚𝕘𝕙𝕥 𝕊𝕖𝕣𝕚𝕖𝕤 ✬ There is a crucial moment in one's life that determines the outcome of everything; well, as books and movies would have you believe. But Monica McCaslin didn't think she would ever be one of those people, would ever have one of those moments. Brought up in a small suburb, with everything she could ever ask for, there wasn't much left for her to want. Monica's ordinary life was to go as such- follow her high school sweetheart to college, graduate, get married, have two kids; the cookie cutter life. White picket fence included. What she did not expect was to meet a dark-haired stranger sitting all alone on a park bench, at that very same school she was to attend with said future husband. After a brief conversation, just a handful of words between them, Monica decides to go on a cross-country road trip with him; putting her faith and future in the hands of a stranger. Thinking she'd soon regret her decision and the life she left behind, she realizes she doesn't at all. Free of expectation and a future that she thought was set in stone, she begins to find the woman she was truly meant to be. State by state, with each border they cross, Monica liberates her true self. 𝔹𝕠𝕠𝕜 ➃ 𝕠𝕗 ➃ - ℂ𝕠𝕞𝕡𝕝𝕖𝕥𝕖 - ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ This is a work of fiction.

ALIENATED: GROUNDED AT GROOM LAKE by thejeffnorton

The totally true (completely classified) story of Sherman & Jess Capote, the only two human students at the high school for aliens at Area 51. Think, FERRIS BUELLER meets MEN IN BLACK! The edited version of the book is now in paperback, so please check it out if you prefer either a physical book or a story without spelling errors. It's also published in Germany by RandomHouse. This story is inspired by a fusion of BACK TO THE FUTURE, GREASE, and MEN IN BLACK. It's about standing out, not fitting in! I hope you love it as much as I do. Thank you to everyone who has read it, voted, and commented. And with very special thanks to Matt Knight, who helped make this book a reality.

Gabriel & Athena, Book One: Fate (A Wattpad Featured Story) by NMBooks

FORMERLY TITLED "FATUM" Chosen as a Wattpad Featured Story in May 2017 There's a reason high school senior Athena Thorpe spends every available moment reading books: fiction is always so much better than the real world. Even the unexpected scandal she suffered thanks to Jackson Montgomery was just a blip in her typically mundane existence in Sparrow, North Carolina. But no story could ever compare to the life-altering events that occur when Gabriel Valente moves into town. Being the son of a notorious crime lord and having grown up on the streets of Manhattan, Gabriel defies all the expectations the students of Sparrow High have for him, including Athena's. She never expected he would match her interest in the written word, or his unlikely grand gestures and definitely not the immediate but intense feelings which cause them to spiral into a secret relationship. A relationship that hinders on Gabriel's uncertain future, which could find him being the heir to the mob throne. Whether or not she wants to admit it, Athena knows the world Gabriel comes from is a dark and violent one. It's just really easy to pretend it doesn't exist within the bubble that is Sparrow. Yet, no matter how much we pretend, reality is never far away, with Gabriel and Athena learning a tragic lesson about choice and consequence a little too late. When you finally decide what you want most in life, the next question becomes: will fate agree?
