Hate Thy Neighbor (Completed) by ChantalAndrea01

⚠️Although not necessary, I suggest you read Torn first since this story references characters from that story and may contain some spoilers. ⚠️ Alicia Williams is a high-spirited, headstrong, and successful young woman who has worked hard in her career to buy her first home by the age of 30. Settling into the quaint, quiet neighborhood was supposed to be easy. Especially since her best friend Mia, lived just around the corner. Her plan was to introduce herself to her neighbors and build a friendly rapport with all of them. However, when she meets Noah McCarthy, she's flabbergasted by her (unconventionally) handsome neighbors crude attitude. He's a bad boy; there's no doubt about it. He's filled with tats, loves bikes, and has a complete disregard for societal norms and others feelings. This leads to a never ending feud between the two neighbors. The last thing Alicia will tolerate is disrespect! Eventually, lines begin to blur and these two enemies can't help but notice how attracted they are to one another despite the hatred they harbor and the differences in their personalities. Follow along the journey with Alicia and Noah as they navigate through their hatred, confusion, and their eventual love for one another.

Murders at Westfield High by jeshi99

This tale of the unrelenting love between two teens under difficult circumstances takes place in a politically incorrect time when there were no personal computers, no Internet, no cell phones and not many other things we take for granted today. Some of the descriptions of events and practices will seem odd and even unbelievable, but they do represent the craziness that existed then. Some things that people did then would be crimes by today's standards, but they weren't back then. The names of both people and places are fictional and no offense to anyone is implied or intended.
