A Thief's Honour

Ever wonder what it would be like to steal?
No, not in the kleptomaniac sense. More in the Robin Hood sense. Doing a sin for the greater good, how deliciously paradoxical is that?
Now, imagine being me. A sixteen-year-old who has lived in the clutches of his father for way too long. I wish to bring about a change to this world and in the process learn to become my own person.
So, how did I decide to do it?
I joined a modern-day thief's guild with my best friend, Tristan.
It was a stupid idea.
At least there's Josie (she's the love interest; she's very scary). The two of us are from completely different worlds and yes, that's going to have an impact on our relationship (I doubt you can call it a relationship; all I know is that it's not very healthy). There might also be a jealous third party, or Tristan might just be making things up for his own entertainment.
This is my coming-of-age story. I will try to avoid cliché's (or give note of them where they are due), I will try to tell the whole truth (sorry if I leave out some things, Tristan, but I don't exactly have the line of sight that your towering height provides) and I will try to convince you that whoever you are and whatever your circumstances, you can always turn it around.

Childhood Sweethearts
#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.

Perfect Strangers
Follow my Instagram for any updates and if you have any questions: @nikki_k123 Alex has been living the same life, with the same routine, repeating it every day. Every day is the same. The one thing she does look forward to is going to cafe de l'amour every morning on her way to school, where she sits and writes, all while seeing Carter Reed. The most popular boy at school who, surprisingly, prefers the solitary life. They go to the same cafe every day, sit at the same tables every day, and notice each other every day, yet are strangers who have never uttered a word to one another. And strangers they shall remain. Perfect strangers. But that's about to change. . . . . . I watched as he kept his eyes trained on the notebook in front of him where he aimlessly drew spirals and coils that surrounded each other, trapped each other, and suffocated each other. My eyes traced the movement of his pen, following each line he drew onto the paper. "Your tea." I snapped out of my trance and looked up, thanking Katy before she went back to the counter. I turned back and caught him looking at me. I expected him to look away and continue acting like I don't exist. Like he's always done and so have I. What I didn't expect was for him to walk right over and sit with me. "Hi, I'm Carter."

Savage little nerd [(BoyxBoy)]
The same cliche story of a nerd and jock falling in love. But what happens when the nerd turns out to be a boy that doesn't take shit from anybody and plays hard to get. And the jock a little too trusting. ⬇️⬇️Sneak peak⬇️⬇️ "Fine, we will do the project together." He said throwing his hands in the air, as he surrendered. I just smirked with my victory. "But in one condition; we do it outside the school. I don't want people knowing I'm hanging out with you." He said giving me a disgusted look. "Don't worry, I don't want people knowing I'm hanging out with a dumbass either." I snapped back. "Listen here you." He said while grabbing my collar. "Your little mouth is going to get you in trouble someday." He said between gritted teeth. "I'm sorry, my mouth can't control itself when it's presented to stupidity as low as yours." I said with a smirk crafted on my face. His face turned red and you could see a small vein pop out of his empty head. .......... Find out what happens next.Complete
The Preston Playboys
I think that sometimes the universe likes to play sick jokes on people. Like sometimes you drop the ice cream you've been craving on the floor before you're able to get a bite or you crack the screen of your brand new cell phone.

What happens when the bright, beautiful life you once knew suddenly turns dark? When betrayal tears apart everything you believed in, how do you survive when even breathing feels like a burden? Veronica had always been the girl with the golden heart. She never deliberately hurt anyone, yet betrayal seemed determined to find her at every turn. Broken beyond repair, she learned the hardest lesson of all: Sometimes, the people you love the most are the ones capable of destroying you. And then there was Nathan. A ruthless billionaire who was accustomed to getting whatever he wanted-and what he wanted was Veronica. Her beauty. Her innocence. Her. Nathan had the power to pull every string necessary to have Veronica within his reach. But possessing her physically was easy. Winning her heart was another story. Just when Veronica thought she had nothing left to lose, another betrayal shattered what remained of her. Except this time, something changed. The girl with the golden heart disappeared. And in her place was a fighter. Years passed. Misunderstandings drove two people who once loved each other apart, leaving behind nothing but pain, hatred, and unanswered questions.

And now, neither of them was willing to surrender. But when the people who betrayed Veronica return, a dangerous love triangle begins to unfold, and the game suddenly becomes far more complicated than either of them expected. This time, the old Veronica is gone. This time, the game is equal. And this time, love may not be enough to save them. Can their love survive betrayal, revenge, and the secrets that tore them apart-or will the game destroy them both?Complete

Tired of Lies
*(COMPLETED) "The worst thing about being lied to is knowing you weren't worth the truth." He bit his lip. "I wanted to te-" His eyes began to water and as a single tear fell he looked at me and said "but what if you've been lying for so long you don't know how to tell the truth?" "I have and so will you." He shook his head, shut his eyes, and leaned his forehead against the glass. "And here I was thinking you would admit that you don't tell the truth either." I gripped the telephone as my knuckles turned white. "What do you mean?" "Come on Zoey I've seen you sneaking around acting like you're busy. You're hiding something and you won't tell me." All Zoey Campbell ever wanted to do was keep her head down and get through high school. Too bad it isn't that easy. Zoey is tired of everything and everyone.
