They'd been next door neighbors for three years and only talked twice. Now, Trevor Andrews and Paige Dunham find themselves lying on the roof of Trevor's house, staring up at the stars, trying to find a solution to their persistent insomnia. Little do they know, tonight, they'll find so much more than that...

This is my entry for the #MidnightSunMovie contest. Yay! You had to write a 500-word story about young love blossoming over the course of one night. NOT AN EASY TASK! But the theme of the contest and the challenge of trying to pack as much story as possible into 500 words intrigued me. So, I gave it a go! I'm nervous about how this turned out, but I'd love to know what you think! And please vote if you like it! :-)All Rights Reserved

An Unexpected Moment by caromerri

... that changes everything Sarah was starting her junior year of high school. Looking at herself in the mirror, she saw a pretty average blonde haired, blue eyed, teenager. She was neither in the popular group, nor one of the many cliched outsiders. Sarah was a nobody. She liked to blend in and lay low. It was her way out of not only this town, but her house. No one knew it, but her father was a high functioning alcoholic that often took his anger out on his family. With her older sister now in college, it had turned to her more often. Laying low in general was a good strategy. Across town, Ryan was prepping for his final year in high school. While he wasn't the stereotypical quarterback of the football team, he did fit into the popular crowd. His sports of choice included basketball and soccer, either of which might line him up for a scholarship next year. Ryan had a group of close friends and a lot of adoring acquaintances. It wasn't easy juggling his athletics and keeping the grades up, but he was just that good. The supporting parents didn't hurt either. It might be a cliché romance, but it will be fun to see what the year and beyond holds. ------------------------------------------ This is a story I wrote years ago, or at least partially wrote. As I transcribe it here, I have tried to update it a bit and give the characters/story more depth than what I had when I was younger. Hopefully it all gets pulled together!

Deep Blue Eyes by xbook0bsessedx

Paige and Jackson were best friends growing up, window neighbours and the closest people in their grade. That was until Jackson grew up and moved on from Paige. They both had a crush on each other growing up but never had the gut to admit it. Paige misses Jackson and will do anything for him to be friends with her again but Jackson's new girlfriend says otherwise... What happens when they are in their senior year and finally do become friends? Will they become even more than that...? Will Jackson choose to love her like he always has or will he move on, once again? ------------------------------ "Paige? Are you okay?" A familiar voice says while sitting next to me. I shrug and look up to see the Deep Blue Eyes I dream about. "Jackson?" "Yes paigy?" "I saw-" I compose myself. I don't want him to suffer through a break up before his first match of the season and I also don't want my feelings for him to be exposed. "I saw a bug on my paper." He should remember my big fear of bugs. He starts laughing. "you're still afraid of Bugs? After all this time?" I nod even though I'm not anymore. He should remember he helped me face that fear.

Bliss by MissLaughALot_

Two weeks. Two weeks of sun, sand and stress-free fun. At least that's the package Lizzie was sold. Little does she know, the package was a dream. A sweetly wrapped lie fed to her by those she trusts the most. There will be sand, sure. And sun, lots of it. But stress-free? Well, with Isaac in tow, that's pretty much impossible. Convinced he's still bad news, Lizzie is determined to enjoy every single second of her vacation without him. Just because he's next door doesn't mean they'll cross paths...right?

A Date For The Books by naomisariah

Evie was the wild child of the bunch. She was always everywhere and doing everything, all so she could pour it into her writing. Being a writer was the dream she held since she was a child, but to be the best, she needed to make a name for herself. However the local scholarships were not enough to cover the costs of attending her dream school. Evie was determined to find a way to pay for her education, but she was running out of options. That was, until West came back. West was a childhood friend. They used to play together when they were kids, but as they grew older, they drifted apart and lost touch. It's been a couple of years since they had last seen each other, and when West randomly needed to stay at Evie's house for a few weeks, she wasn't sure what to expect. They each needed a plan to get what they wanted, and they each had what the other needed. It seemed like a win-win situation for both of them. Or so they thought that is until a an old fling reappears that could jeopardizes their deal. Will they be able to keep love out of this story?

Maze [Completed] by niccieff

The minute that Dylan saw Maisie, he felt something change in himself. He wanted to know her. He wanted to touch her. He wanted to make her laugh.

His best friend got there first. ***Best Blurb Winner in the Snowdust Awards 2020***

The Choices I've Made (By the Bay #1) by authorjlberg

Twelve years ago, he drove away with my heart in his hands. I've moved on since then. Or so I thought. Growing up in a small town, there weren't too many options when it came to friends. But, even in a sea of a million, I'd always choose Jake Jameson. I felt safe with him. Safe with my secrets, my dreams and eventually - my heart. I thought we'd have forever together. That was a long time ago. I thought I'd forgotten those piercing blue eyes and the sound of his laugh. I tried to obliterate the memory of his touch from my mind. But, one single glance, as he stands at my door, twelve years later, and I'm suddenly transported back to a simpler time when love was easy, and my heart was whole. The problem? I'm marrying his best friend.

Wanderlust ✓ by AnxietyIsMyWeakness

When introverted Paige Lewis unexpectedly wins a radio contest, she didn't know she would be off to Florida for a week with confident Parker Collins, the star soccer player at her rival high school. The two are forced to attend the Wanderlust music festival together and after they get over the initial dislike for one another, will attraction form? And when they return home to their very different lives, can they find the time for love? ••• I followed Parker down the hall and he unlocked our door, holding it open for me. As soon as the click of the door closed, he cornered me against it, his hands on either side of my head. I held in a breath because of his proximity. "I've been wanting to kiss you since the day I met you," he voiced honestly and nudged his nose against my own. "You taste so good, Paige, you don't even know." I looked away, not being able to handle his words but he quickly brought his index finger under my chin to bring my face back to his.
