Ever since Riley Hope was 4 years old, all she's ever dreamed about is dancing and making music. It was how she could really express herself. Until a fatal accident one day and took away her creative side.
Now Riley focuses on getting good grades, playing volleyball, being student body president and working as a waitress at Tatiana's 80's Diner just to keep herself busy. Riley may not dance herself anymore, but she absolutely loves teaching kids and seeing their faces light up. Every time Riley is alone and gets the urge to dance again, she holds back, knowing it'll bring up too many unwanted memories. 

Then enters Ryder O'Conner. Baseball player, musician with the famous parents that everyone can't stop talking about. The parents that are never around. Ryder wants to be known for his accomplishments, praised for his hard work. He just wants to be normal but normal is so overrated apparently. 

When these two finally meet, they soon realize that the only people holding them back is themselves. And through spending time together, they finally get back what they've been missing. They discover adventure, friendship, and the people they truly want to be.All Rights Reserved

I Punched The Bad Boy by Far_Away_From_Stars

Theania Ryans has a temper. She will knock the living daylights out of someone if she has to. But, in all honesty, she is a softy. She is also the nerd with a dark past. Correction. She WAS the nerd. Will her new bad girl, with a hint of good girl, persona spill her secrets? What would happen if someone were to find out her past? Wait, rephrase that. What would happen if the Bad Boy found out about her past? ------------------------------ Ryder Connel is the cliché bad boy of the school. It's all wrong, though. He hides his sensitive side from the unknown...his passion for art. Art was his escape. That is, until his mom abandoned him. Since then, he never touched a canvas. He never touched a paint brush. He turned to alcohol and girls for his release. He would do what his mom did to him. He would lead girls on and then leave them. Then he meets Theania Ryans. The girl with broken eyes. The girl with a broken smile. The girl with a broken heart. Will he put her back together? Or, will she fix herself? ---------------------------------------------------- This is my first book. All these characters are fiction, not real. They do not relate to me or anything that has happened to me. I repeat, it does not relate to me at all!
