"If you could save either him or me from a burning building, who would you choose?"
Meet Quinn. She's your normal pizza-eating, movie-watching, cat-loving high school girl with a few sharp edges here and there. Born to successful business-people, Quinn is a little-bit-spoiled, but with her parents all over the world, she knows not to take things for granted, and she knows how to take care of herself. A superstitious girl, Quinn knows not to mess with luck or Karma, and she's not afraid to stand up to anyone in her way of fate. 'Miss Independent,' is what the world calls her. She needs nobody but herself.
...Except when it comes to her best friend Jack. Anyone would deem them to be an unlikely pair: Star Athlete & Art Student, Wild Side & Superstitious. But inseparable since middle school, Jack is the only person who seems to have stuck around long enough to know the real Quinn. Sometimes she swears he knows her better than her own parents do.
So it could be seen as only natural for an attraction to start growing between the two. But when summer ends and Junior year starts, and the new boy in town sweeps Quinn off of her feet, she's completely oblivious to a jealous best friend. She soon finds herself stuck between a new love and an old love, and as tensions start to rise, walls begin to build, and secrets begin to whisper, Quinn learns that she can't have it all... if she doesn't want to lose everything.
Join Jack and Quinn on a turbulent year at Horizon High School, filled with untold secrets, stolen kisses, late night drives, broken traditions, and a sour game of spin-the-bottle.

An Unexpected Moment
... that changes everything Sarah was starting her junior year of high school. Looking at herself in the mirror, she saw a pretty average blonde haired, blue eyed, teenager. She was neither in the popular group, nor one of the many cliched outsiders. Sarah was a nobody. She liked to blend in and lay low. It was her way out of not only this town, but her house. No one knew it, but her father was a high functioning alcoholic that often took his anger out on his family. With her older sister now in college, it had turned to her more often. Laying low in general was a good strategy. Across town, Ryan was prepping for his final year in high school. While he wasn't the stereotypical quarterback of the football team, he did fit into the popular crowd. His sports of choice included basketball and soccer, either of which might line him up for a scholarship next year. Ryan had a group of close friends and a lot of adoring acquaintances. It wasn't easy juggling his athletics and keeping the grades up, but he was just that good. The supporting parents didn't hurt either. It might be a cliché romance, but it will be fun to see what the year and beyond holds. ------------------------------------------ This is a story I wrote years ago, or at least partially wrote. As I transcribe it here, I have tried to update it a bit and give the characters/story more depth than what I had when I was younger. Hopefully it all gets pulled together!Complete
Four Walls (Book One) ✔️
"You ungrateful bitch. I keep a roof over your head, and this is the thanks I get?" "You could have killed her," I retort, trying to muster up confidence that I don't possess. "What if she goes to the cops, Dad? That bruise on her face is enough to get you arrested and charged with assault." "What? You mean when she tripped over the mess you made in the kitchen?" His smile is so wicked that it chills me to my core. "She ain't going to the cops. Hell, she'll probably be back here tomorrow." "You're a bastard," I whisper, tears filling my eyes. "No wonder Mom left! She probably couldn't bear to spend another second with-" I'm pushed to the floor. I scramble backwards as he approaches me, his cheeks scarlet with rage, his pupils the size of needle points. In fourteen years, I've never seen him this mad. I've really done it this time. -------------------- (COMPLETED) Life is hard when nowhere feels like home. For Layla Dodds, there is only one goal: survival.

Everything She Is ✔️
I laugh as I walk down to the shore, holding the heels of my shoes as I walk far enough for the cool water to rush around my ankles. It's funny how life works out. I never pictured myself to be the girl outside the party, thinking about my life choices while I am half drunk but I guess kissing the school's bad boy does that to you. I wonder where I would be if I never met Cleo. If I never became her friend. Would I still have no friends? Would still be playing soccer? Would I have rebelled? I probably would still be drunk right now, I think to myself, and laugh bitterly, but get rudely interrupted. "Put your hands up, you are under arrest." I hear, spinning around and almost falling into the lake, but I save myself and there I see the flashing lights of the police, and a nice one holding cuffs, looking straight at me. Well this isn't good. ~*~ Quinn and Cleo are the best of friends. They do everything together, from sports to parties, to having a weekly girls night only for the two of them. They rule the school, but like any friendship, one is always has more power than the other, and that being Cleo.

But after one fateful party Quinn learns that friendship always has an end game, and the one between her and Cleo is not yet over.Complete
