This story follows sixteen year old Elyse "Snow" Oliviana Harter, raised in the primarily black part of Saint Petersburg Michigan, brought up by her father from birth as she was born illegitimately. All was well in her life, until her father was thrown into prison for a crime he had nothing to do with, and she's sent to her estranged mother's home on "C.E.O Street." Snow is forced to adapt to living with a full house, a mother, a step father and two step brothers. 

Her mother lives a life of comfort, happy living inside the bubble that the rich district provides. Snow's nothing like her, she prefers adventure and would rather not know when her next meal is going to be than know that it's going to be the same thing at the same time for the rest of her life. 

Her sense of adventure only seems to get her in more trouble in her new home though. She's forced to go to a private school where she just doesn't fit in, where's she'd be considered the lowest of all if her skin tone matched those of all of her friends in her previous life. The school only has a small population of "racially diverse" students to make the brochures look good. 

Her frequent visits with her father only leave her with more questions and more determination to emancipate him. But that proves more difficult after more family secrets are revealed and everything she's believed is disproven. Conversations with more estranged relatives leave her with more questions than answers and a big decision to make. 

In between all of this Snow balances archery, new friends, a new boyfriend, a school musical and her old life threatening to destroy what little happiness she's found. How will she manage to achieve all of her goals AND stay out of trouble? Well I guess you'll have to read and find out.

Edison by tabrison

Fourteen-year-old Edison Green may be a genius, but he doesn't have a clue about what to do on his first day of high school. After being homeschooled until age 9 and then starting college courses, Edison doesn't have any experience with kids his own age. His parents believe he has a rare gift and they don't want him to be distracted by the menial problems of teenagers; instead, they want him to focus on his research project, which could be the next big breakthrough in physics. Edison loves physics more than anything, but loneliness and curiosity about life outside his world cause him to rebel. He goes on strike, refusing to continue his studies until his parents agree to let him go to high school for one year. Edison isn't worried about high school being hard--after all, he's been invited to join Mensa International--an exclusive club for the top 2% of the world's smartest people. But he finds out quickly that it takes more than a high IQ to traverse the social events and activities at Southton High School. During an unfortunate encounter with the school's most popular athlete, Edison meets Christina Blakely, who saves him from getting pummeled on his first day of school. She is the exact opposite of him in every way. Christina is a soccer phenom who doesn't have time to be friends with lowly freshmen. She's got problems of her own, including a low GPA, which could prevent her from getting a college scholarship. Can Christina achieve the impossible-the highest GPA she's ever had--and earn her scholarship? And can Edison prove to his parents and everyone else-including Ashley Murray, the most beautiful girl he's ever seen-that he can do more than solve difficult math problems? Can he really change the world with his research project, win Ashley's heart and survive high school?

Hello Love by multifandomxyelena

Leighton Murray x female reader You are British but moved to New York when you were 7 so you still have a prominent English accent. You met Leighton on the first day of school and were bound to the hip since. You and Leighton were dating from freshman year to around 1/2 way through junior year when she randomly broke up with you to be friends with Francesca and Esme. It broke your heart but thankfully you didn't have to see her every day as your dad moved you out to LA as he got a senior Partner job at a law firm with a higher paid salary and decided to take it. Leighton didn't even know you were leaving until she asked your high school receptionist where you are and they told her you moved. When you moved you felt guilty not telling Leighton but after a few weeks you unblock her and message her. You said you were sorry for not telling her but you shouldn't cause she broke your heart. After sending a longer message you blocked her again so you don't have to see her reply. You haven't talked since. Now it's your freshman year of college and you decided to go to Essex as they offered you a soccer scholarship even though your dad could have paid it no problem, however he paid extra so you had a whole dorm room to yourself. Disclaimer I don't own any of these characters or the show it belongs to HBO I believe

Before You Leave by fbishi

(Before You Leave #1) She was sent to boarding school over the smallest of mistakes... Okay, burning down your schools gym might have been a big one. But she didn't mean to do it. This time. And she's certainly no snitch. She's had a fine life. But she wanted something more. And so she created chaos. She was misjudged and misunderstood. And now she's the havoc of Birchwood Prep. They call her the devil's bitch, the principal's worst nightmare, and a screwed up whore. They can think what they want, JJ Ashton has heard these all throughout high school. She doesn't want a future, she just wants to take control of now. She's everything Birchwood Prep doesn't want, but is deemed to get after her Father decided it was the only option for her to find some discipline. She's not going to make it that easy for them. Gideon Andrews is the perfect student. Good grades, never missed a day, and never had been in trouble of any sort. He thinks life is great, but meeting JJ, she thinks life for him could be better. Less plain and vanilla. He hates her guts. It's mutual for her as well. But the headmaster has made it Gideon's personal mission to get her back on track and into a better life. She's allowed two screw ups, has to join a sports team, pass all of her classes with at least a C and get some friends before the year is over, or she will be held back. And she's not about to go another year in the hellhole called high school. (Marked mature for language and brief talk about sex.) *Still editing parts/making corrections* (Sequel is called: When I Stay)

Loving the Enemy by PeacefullyUnknown

Dear Olive, I hate you. I hate that you were born and that your human and have a face. I hate that you live next door to me and I hate that I can't sleep at night because the thought of you has forever left a vivid image creased in the back of my mind. And most of all, I hate that you hate me. Hate, Everest Since the first grade when Olivia Kingston and her family moved in right across the street from Kyle Everest, he had believed to have instantly hated her. (At least thats how he tells the story) And maybe it was just because of the mere fact of her existence, or maybe it was that time she ate the last fruit snack at lunch, or let's not forget, in fifth grade she stole his partner in crime, being his twin sister Madeline. Now being 17 years old Kyle Everest still holds this unknown resentment against his next door neighbor Olivia Kingston, and torches her in any possible way he can, but what would happen when Olivia finally gets sick of letting Kyle torcher her unexplainably? Everything would change in the matter of one day when Olivia accidentally gets them both locked in the principals office in search of the same thing: The truth. But while staying together in a cramped room with no phones and surviving off nothing but the secret stash of their principal, while the entire schools is off on spring break, secrets will be told and feeling will unravel. And let's not forget, hate letters will be sent. This book may seem light and fun but it has some mature scenes and dark thoughts that I'd suggest for viewers 16+

I am posting the first four chapters of my book The Girls of Charity here on Wattpad. The full book can be purchased online. I always make sure to disclose that even though I work long and hard hours on all my books that they are by no means perfect. There are mistakes from grammar and punctuations. The Girls of Charity is my first self-published book and when I wrote it, I didn't have a great program on my laptop to help me make corrections as best as I possibly could. However, this version, I am pretty sure, is the revised edition I had resubmitted last summer but however more-than-likely might have mistakes also. I apologize in advance if you feel you have wasted your time and or money on my works. Thanks

Before She Even Knows by TeaInTheGarden02

''There is only one thing crossing my mind right now. If he hates me so much, then why the hell is he kissing me back?'' ----------------------- Emma White has always been kind of a loner. Her mother died giving birth to her and her father never really cared, always working in his successful company. That's why she decides to go to a college away from home, something she's been dreaming of since she can remember. However, what happens when at her very first day on campus, she crosses path with Noah Allen? He is rich, popular, cold, rude and a player just to start with. No surprise she calls him Mr. Grumpy. What is driving her insane though is that he's only too cold when it comes to her. After some not so pleasant moments and lots of glares, she tells herself that the best is to stay away from him, but it won't be that easy. After a disastrous kiss and hidden jealousy, she finds herself deeply involved into what is this frustrating boy. Add to that the fact that he is her roommates' childhood best friend and you can see drama from miles away. Noah claims to hate her ever since they met, and he doesn't mean her first day of college. He remembers her just fine from a couple of years ago and all the feelings are back. He knows she doesn't remember him and he'll use this as his leverage to do what he has to do. It's what he promised his father and himself, even if it means he has to pretend to care for her. All he cares is his family business. At least it's what he tells himself, until the feelings start getting too mixed and he ends up thinking of her more than he should. Maybe it's not all about business after all. He knows their history started before she even knows, what he didn't expect was for her to be so different from what he has always believed.

Five's A Crowd by ur_anus_

"𝔼𝕍𝔼ℝ𝕐 𝔽𝔸𝕄𝕀𝕃𝕐 ℍ𝔸𝕊 𝕊𝔼ℂℝ𝔼𝕋𝕊" - - - "My name is Hazel, but most people call me Ze. I'm from Melbourne, and love Taylor Swift." I cringe at my own words, and think back to a time where Fletcher was one of the only people calling me Ze. "Does anyone have questions for Miss. Bolivi?" Fletcher asks, and I hate the way my father's last name sounds on his lips. Lots of students raise their hands, and I feel overwhelmed. People actually want to learn something about me? "Yes, Miss. Abbott. Ask away," Fletcher says to one of the girls who is seated at a table at the front of the class, with other kids who all look bitchy like her. "Are you related to the Bolivi brothers?" Her disgustingly sweet voice pukes out. "My last name is Bailey," I say coldly, hating how that was her only query about me. - - - Hazel Bailey. She's your typical Australian teenage girl. From going out with friends every Friday night, to crushing on university boys. But what happens when this seemingly normal girl experiences the loss of her mother? Fearing that she's going to go into foster care, Hazel begins to stress, but she quickly discovers that she's not going to go into the system. Instead, her five older brothers have gained custody of her. The same five older brothers she never knew existed. Something about them seems off, and Hazel can't help acting wary. But they're not the only ones with secrets. Join Hazel in a journey of lies, love, attachment, and humor.

The GIRL From Tomorrow by Valerie246679

When I came home, a little girl was waiting for me in my apartment. I was sure I locked the door. I was sure I lived alone. Yet, there she stood-nine years old, with dark eyes just like mine. And then she said something that sent chills down my spine. 'Mommy, I finally found you.' I don't have a daughter. I don't even have a boyfriend. So who is this child... and why does she look exactly like me? ____ Nythea Moire is a cold, intelligent, and untouchable high school senior admired by many but feared by all. Born into a wealthy yet loveless family, she has grown distant and alone, dedicating herself to academics to prove her worth. Her life is predictable until one fateful day. When she returns to her apartment after school, she finds an unfamiliar little girl waiting for her. The child, Cassie, boldly claims to be her daughter from the future. Confused and skeptical, Thea wants nothing more than to kick the kid out, except there's one problem. The apartment was locked. The security showed no break-in. And the child... looks exactly like her. As Thea struggles to uncover the truth behind Cassie's sudden appearance, she gets drawn into a tangled web of fate, unexpected emotions, and a certain quiet but warm-hearted boy named Alexander Sandoval, the only person who seems to believe and understand her. But why is Cassie here? What does she want to change? Why doesn't she say anything about herself? ____ If you're looking for romance, I'm sorry to disappoint you. This story is more focus on family problem, parental issues and main character struggles and development. It's inspired by people who have family problems and how they grow. English is not my first language but it's my second's. But still, don't expect the perfect writing. I planed this story almost two years ago, but I just wrote it now. Don't judge me!
