She doesn't like parties. She doesn't like crowds. She doesn't like to socialise. She doesn't like dancing or sport or loud, obnoxious music that has absolutely no meaning at all. She doesn't like letting down her two best friends when they try to expose her to all of the above (except sport. EW, nobody likes sport).
Charlotte would much rather stay home on a Saturday night and watch NETFLIX, or read a book - hiding away in her bedroom where she doesn't have to impress anybody. No need for unnecessary socialising with people who aren't her friends.
But when a traumatic experience at a party causes her and an unexpected someone to become closer, Charlotte begins to feel things she only ever read about in books. Things she always secretly thought about, but figured it just wouldn't happen for her. However, despite all the books she's read and all the TV shows she's watched, nothing could prepare her for the real deal...

So, of course, Caitlyn had to let her down gently before Hazel returned to her first year of college. Four years later, her best friend presents her with the idea of moving in with Hazel, who freshly graduated college. Obviously, she agrees, because what harm can little ole' sprout do? A lot. Because, Hazel is a lot different than what Caitlyn remembers. Bratty, tight clothing, and overall body of a goddess, all paired with the Hazel she knew and loved.

Never forget the way you feel right now, Madie." **MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY** This story contains sensitive topics such as abuse, violence, and explicit sexual content.Complete

Deeper
In which I fall in love with my brother's best friend. ***** "Don't pretend like you don't feel anything." His voice is low, sending shivers down my spine. "What do you mean?" "You know damn well what I mean." "I don't know what you're talking about." I pretend to ignore him, flipping some pages in my book. "Come on. I have all these assignments waiting. Aren't you supposed to teach me tonight?" "It depends on what you want me to teach." He smirks, his voice sounding even more dangerous. ***** I thought that my brother was the most popular guy in school, but as soon as I step into my university life, I realize how wrong I was. Meet Vaughn Cooper, his best friend. The guy is the epitome of every girl's dream. Godlike handsome. The quarterback. He's got the looks, and he's got the brain. Come on, he's got the scholarship to one of the most prestigious universities in the country, while I have just barely passed the entrance examination after long years of struggle during high school. How could a guy who worked that hard and deserves nothing more but adoration be labeled as a bad boy? Yeah, the answer is simple. The moment we lock eyes, I realize something as I stare into those piercing, amber eyes. He's not every girl's dream. He's every girl's nightmare. In my case, MY nightmare. Calm down, heart.
