"So, are you in?" he asked, his tone gentle, but the patience in his voice was slipping.

She took a moment to mull it over, and finally met his piercing blue eyes. 

"Yes," she replied, with a shaky breath, and he let out a contented sigh. 

"But under 1 condition," she began, her voice unwavering, "you can't fall in love with me."

                                                                                        * * *                                                                                            

All her life, the one thing Maddie knew best was saying goodbye. Due to the fact that her mother was a travel agent, and her father was the head of an international corporation, they were always on the move. 

When Maddie's parents are given a case for which they can't move for a certain period of time, Maddie is forced to adapt to the wild lifestyle that LA has to offer. 

Soon she finds herself a bit overwhelmed. With balancing her new life, and trying to get the hang of living like a normal teenager. 

But once she steps foot into the notorious, posh, one and only Danforth Prep., the crazy doesn't end. 

When the "Queen B",  Arabelle Smith, finds Maddie  a threat to her and Zac, the boy she's been hopelessly crushing on forever, her and her posse go out of their way to do anything and everything to make Maddie's life a living hell. 

The thing is, the second Zac lays his eyes on Maddie, something, almost like some magnetic force, makes him want to get to know her, and maybe even be more than just friends. 

So when an idea so crazy pops into Zac's head, he can only hope she'll agree. 

But if saying goodbye is Maddie's signature move, will the plan be worth it in the end?

#1 Teen Fiction | #1 Young Adult | #1 Romance "We all need someone to drive us mad." - The Wombats. He stared arrogantly down at me, a smirk plastered across his face. I sneered up at him with distaste, wanting to wrap my fingers around his neck and strangle that smirk off of him. He brushed my golden hair from my face, his long, slender fingers sparking electricity in my skin, making my knees wobble together. "Will you ever, forgive me?" he whispered huskily, his eyes intently staring into mine. His face was only mere inches from me. I just needed to reach out a little further to kiss him... "Yeah. Over my dead body." I snapped, before throwing my arms out forcefully, shoving my hands into his chest, pushing him from me. -*-*-*- He, is Carter Williams. I, am Lacey Adams. We were once, inseparable. The 'Golden Couple'. The unbreakable best friends, that everybody envied. Nothing could get between us. A part from being tighter than white on rice, we updated our status from friends to being in a relationship, frequently. We were neighbours, which meant our families were all close and even co-owned houses around our town. This, all is, until the day of my sixteenth birthday. Everything changed. The loving relationship we shared, was severed and torn apart. I couldn't hardly stand to look at him any more, without spitting fire that is. Every day is torture being around him. He was in all my classes at school and the window in my room was even directly aligned with his. So, what happens? My mother's mum gets sick, so dad and her fly out. Just them. Leaving me to stay with Carter and his parents, who are never home. We would be alone. In one house. Under the same roof. If I was insane before, I have no idea what I am now. © 2016 by LaurenJ22.

Why wasn't I moving anymore? I'd gone still, muddled at what I should do.

Ride the Waves (Author's Edit) by BlvckDivmond
19 parts Ongoing Mature
(I've decided to edit and re-publish one of my most successful books here on this platform, now as a mature writer. Ride the Waves is a book I began writing at 17 years old-now 10 years later it has amassed many fans and many reads. Also in the space of 10 years, I have grown a lot as a person and as a literary writer and decided to re-write my most famous book. Obviously the original Ride the Waves has my heart-that's my baby!-but looking at it now, from a mature lens, I could really do the story more justice by reimagining it. This is exactly what this is. Ride the Waves: author's edit. Same story line, same loved characters, but better writing. Hope you enjoy) Blurb: Ride the waves; It's a surfing term. Surfers paddle out to catch waves. They wait for a really good, high, strong wave, then they surf it into shore. When you ride a wave, it's not your power propelling you, it's the strength of the natural phenomenon. So to ride a wave metaphorically is to go with something already happening. For seventeen-year-old Nina, surviving has never felt like riding a wave. After losing her best friend and nearly losing herself, she's just trying to stay afloat. As she navigates the turbulent waters of grief, first love, and senior year, Nina begins to find her rhythm again. But some waves carry secrets beneath their surface. And when the truth finally crashes over her, everything she thought she knew will be swept away.

The banging starts again but this time a lot louder. I can hear the girls screaming up stairs. I pick up my phone and dial 911. "Hello this is 911 what's your emergency?" "There are a bunch of wolves outside my house. I think they have rabies or something I'm not sure." The banging gets louder and I can feel my face getting wet from the tears. "Mamm did you say wolves are there?" "Yes Yes there are wolves about 10 of them out here in my front yard. I need help!" I hang up the phone and sit on the end of the stair case. I close my eyes and start praying. Something I haven't done in a while. "I have faith, there is a god. I have faith, there is a god, I have faith, there is a god." I repeat over and over. The glass breaks and I start screaming. I stand up and try to scramble up the stairs. The door comes falling down and there are about 10 wolves standing in front of my door. A woman emerges and walks toward me. She snaps her fingers and the pretty brown wolf is in front of me. Right there by my face. "Ridanna you know what to do." Her teeth is wrapped around my neck and she sinks them in. I try to scream but it's hard to. At first it hurts but now the pain no longer exists. I feel like there is no such thing as pain and I feel light as if I can float off the Earth. Fine as hell white boy with a pro-black activist fall for each other. Cherise Miss Activist doesn't want to date Zaire the fine as hell white boy not for his race but for his secrets. What if he had a past he didn't tell you about and the only way you found out is because the past came to kill you? And I'm not talking werewolves and vampires. Cherise would only wish for problems for they would be so simple compared to hers and Zaire's. If any woman found out Zaire's secrets they'd take off running to the nearest police station or they end up in a body bag in the end. Depends....which will come first?
