Ruby "Dilemma" McNair is remarkable. She doesn't excel in school or in any of the ways that her parents dream of, but she is, however, skilled at some things. Like causing trouble, making commitments, track and field and listening to strangers' advice. So, first comes the hair cut. Then the comments. Then her realization. At the age of 17, she is nearly eighteen, so why not do as she wishes? She's grown up, and done with other peoples shit.

Just Grey: In a Black & White World
"But just look at the world around you, Love. There's messes everywhere with unclear answers. Don't give up yet." She told me gently. "I know, but I just wish that this was less confusing." "Well, things are gonna get confusing after a while, but you can't just stop trying. You've got to search harder for the answer; maybe it's somewhere you haven't looked yet. Someday you'll trip over a rock that's harder than this, and bandaids won't just stare you in the face. You won't know what to do. So prepare yourself for that day, baby." "I'm gonna trip over a rock?" I asked, eyes widening with worry. She shook her head, the bubbly symphony of her laughs echoing in the room. "No. I mean you're going to be in trouble one day and you won't know how to get out of it. Like this, but tougher." "You mean I'll have to go through this again? But even harder? Ugh, I won't make it." I sighed heavily. "No. I know you will. It just won't be so black and white. It'll be....in between the two." "So it'll be just grey?" She revealed her big, beautiful smile to me as if I had understood all that is right and wrong in the world. Kissing the top of my head, she whispered, "Exactly." {full synopsis inside} Rankings- #16 in juveniles #94 in newkid #241 in multimedia FULLY EDITED VERSION NOW AVAILABLE ON AMAZON KINDLE!!Complete

It's not your fault | Kylia fanfic
At Blackwood Academy, excellence isn't just expected-it's demanded. Known for producing some of the brightest minds, the school is a battlefield where only the strongest thrive. Kylie Cantrall rules Blackwood's social scene with a sharp tongue and an iron fist. She has the looks of an angel and a voice to match, but one wrong move around her, and you'll wish you never existed. She's ruthless, feared, and-unfortunately for her-under constant pressure. Her father, Principal Cantrall, expects nothing less than perfection, and he won't tolerate failure. Then there's Malia Baker, Blackwood's golden girl. Top grades, flawless reputation, and a face that could bring anyone to their knees. While Kylie claws her way up the academic ranks, Malia sits comfortably at the top, her record unshaken, her success effortless. And Principal Cantrall? He adores her. Which only fuels Kylie's hatred. Kylie has spent years trying to outshine Malia, but no matter how hard she tries, Malia's grades remain untouchable. So she turns to other methods-pranks, sabotage, even stealing boyfriends and girlfriends-anything to knock Malia down a peg. But Malia isn't one to be walked over. She fights back just as hard, turning their rivalry into something legendary. Then Kylie's world shatters. Something happens-something she won't talk about-and after that, her grades start to slip. Math, of all things. Her father is furious. His punishments are brutal, and this time, he's done playing games. His solution? Kylie is forced to move into the school dorms. The worst part? Her new roommate is Malia Baker. Trapped under the same roof, their rivalry is bound to explode. But as the lines between hatred and something else start to blur, they're left with one question-will they destroy each other, or will something unexpected bloom in the chaos?
Sweet Spot
Sierra Lancaster has had an agonizingly mediocre life. She grew up in a happy home, made loyal friends, graduated college, and is now pursuing her dream of running her own bakery. Boring, right? A story like this wouldn't be one for the books. At least not until you bring a hot neighbour into the mix. A tall, brooding, shredded (like, wash your clothes on those abs shredded), and wildly successful sports agent. Interested yet? It gets better. Said neighbour isn't just a rando, but Sierra's childhood nemesis that made her formerly chubby days a living hell. Now we're talking, aren't we? Holden Rey has always been the golden boy. Holden...golden...you following? You'd think the bitchy universe would do its job and throw some karma his way but to no avail. Not only has he got it all, but he knows it too. He also still has it out for Sierra and resumes being a jack-ass of epic proportions (and his ass ain't his only epic proportion) as soon as he realizes who the new girl next door is. It's the same old story with these two except this time, there's unwilling attraction and sexual tension underneath all the hate. Is it just lust or does the bitchy universe actually have a plan? So maybe this story is one for the books after all. *A hilarious, enemies-to-lovers, romantic standalone. Rated 18+ due to mature content. All rights reserved to TheFeveredBookaholic.*Complete
