The Apple store. 
Where old ladies meet up to get their Pink Ladies or Granny Smiths, and a quick gossip session. 
Where teens grab a quick snack on their way to school or college.
Where moms get fruit for their children's lunches.
Where I had my view of it changed forever.
I'd never forget that day. I had fought with my mother about going to the store because I wanted to go to a party held by Maddie's house for New Year's Eve. I wanted to go because the guy I had a crush on, Anthony Collins, would be there. But my mother had insisted that I go. So I did. 

Meet Hannah Pearson, a fiery red head who hates the Apple Store. But after fighting with her mother, she heads down. Little did she know that Lucy Watson would be waiting for her. When Hannah helps Lucy, she starts to tell a story of true love.

★ NOW PUBLISHED! ★ What do you get when you add the ultimate meet cute + a bruised head? = A whole can of heartbreak. It all starts in aisle three. Lacie O'Connor prefers to see the world in black and white, logical, rational, and natural, like her biology major. She just wants to survive her freshman year of college, but first she must find a can of peas. Instead, she gets hit on the head with a box of cake mix. Trent Montgomery is all saturated and technicolor even in the maroon employee polo. Lacie thought she left him and his sheepish smiling friend at the grocery store but finds him in her most dreaded class: Intro to Philosophy. He sits next to her, and it's all PLATOnic until he presses his foot up against hers. That's all it takes for her to get lost in the philosophy of Trent. What starts out as sidewalk conversations soon leads to study sessions that transform to cuddle sessions that transform to make-out sessions. But just before winter break, Trent steps back. He dodges her texts. He kisses her in private but blows her off in public. Lacie knows miscommunication and mixed signals spread like an invasive plant species, but what she can't figure out is which version of Trent is real. The one she met in aisle three, or the one who likes to get drunk in dorm building basements. © 2015 ℓαℓαℓαℓαwriting © 2019 ℓαℓαℓαℓαwriting |Edited/NEW| © 2022 Published version All Rights Reserved |Third Place Winner in #Readytoreadya2018 Young Adult Reads Contest|

[FIRST BOOK IN THE 'HIS' SERIES] [2017] "Hi." Kyla smiles nervously. "Hi." Cole greets back, just as nervously. The boys and I share a roll of the eyes. I sneak a look at the teacher in charge of detention and find him asleep. I get out of my seat and walk over to Cole and Kyla. "Yo! Hi, hi, how are you? How are you? Now kiss!" I grab the back of each of their heads and smash them together and back away as they lock lips. They freeze, both of their eyes wide open, before they relax and start kissing eachother passionately. Cole put his hands on her waist and Kyla wraps her arms around his neck. "YASSS!" Reese shrieks as he lifts me up in the air, hugging me. "You did it lil' sis! Your got Cola to kiss!" "I'm older than you!" "The plan worked!" Kayden cheers, high fiving me. "Of course the plan worked." Nate says in a 'duh' tone.

I am so unbelievably fucked. ----- 17 year old Ace Loughty was never one longing to be in the spotlight. In fact, he craved the exact opposite: being left alone.
