The strange girl-the observer, Carlotta speaks to no one
but takes pictures of them and tacks the pictures in spirals in her dormitory room. Her one true friend is the schools gardener who helps her tend to the flowers. Also,
She names the flowers after her classmates and then sips off the buds

Grayson Blackwood. The cocky posh boy who spends his holidays at a manor is Scotland, he hunts and plays polo, Grayson doesn't quite fit in, but he's recently been told a secret he thinks could be worth something

Adriana. Their love was forbidden, should anyone find out, her life would be in ruins, but she knew that without him, she could never be, for without him, she was nothing. Her heart broke watching their fake passion glowing, for without him, she was nothing

Marcus, the star football player with the head cheerleader for appearances, but couldn't help but fall for the nerdy girl

Emilia.The wallflower fits in everywhere and nowhere at the same time, so she secludes herself. She's recently witnessed a scandal in the stairway and accidentally let it slip to the cocky posh boy

Brandi is too cool for school, always acting arrogant and bored, she puts up her guard. It seems like everyone hates her, except for her best friend, River. They talk trash about the cheerleaders and jocks in the library at lunch.

Turn up the Hot Wattpad Energy: Read big, win bigger 🔥 Ready to feel the heat? ☀️ From November 10-16, every minute you read turns up your chances to win: 🎯 30 mins = 1 entry to win 30 Coins 🎯 60 mins = 1 entry to win 60 Coins 🎯 120 mins = 1 entry to win 120 Coins 15,000 winners will bring the energy home. Start reading and see how hot it gets. She's a wild, free spirit who sees the good in everyone, and he's the hardened, bad-tempered loner who wants nothing to do with her-yet no matter how hard he tries to push her away, she's the one temptation he can't escape. *** He's never met someone with such a bubbly personality. Not to mention the wildness and odd phrases she says every five minutes. He hates it. He hates how he can't stay away from it. He hates what she does to him; it's not like him to chase after some girl. She gets under his skin like no other. She's never met someone with such a bad attitude. He's ill-mannered and menacing. The glare never seems to leave his face. Considering it all, she can't help but feel the attraction toward him. Dangerous attraction toward a seemingly dangerous man. Maybe it's the tattoos on his arm that gets her attention. Or maybe it's because she can tell there's hope for good under his rough exterior. And she's about to find it, whether he likes it or not. It's no secret that the two of them are complete and total opposites. *** "You like being called Sugar, don't you?" I tease, placing my toothbrush back after finishing. He does the same and gives me a side-eyed scowl. He grips my chin harshly and kisses me. My body temperature raises a good ten degrees and my right leg goes all wiggly. He pulls away. "You like it when I kiss you, don't you?" He teases the same way I did to him and I'm left blubbering. "I think both of our questions are rhetorical," I lower my voice up at him. His lip curls up into a smirk. *** *Warning* This story contains mature themes (language, scenes)

Completed "What the hell do you think you're doing?" I asked, glaring at him while he forcefully dragged me out of class. "You told me you need help, and here I am!" Blake yelled. "Where did that come from?! What are you even talking about?!" I screamed at him. "I know you talked to Ryder about your situation. " My eyes widen and I yanked my hands out from his grasp. "I hate you..." I growled and starting to turn around to walk back to class. " You don't mean that... I love you, goddamn it! " He shouted that loud that the students around us stopped what they're doing and looked at us. I stopped walking. Before I can make a move to turn around, he beat me to it and slammed his soft pink lips against mine. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Meet Jade Williams, typical fat, nerd, and loner you will meet in the school, but she's not how you depict it. She only has 2 best friends, Layla and Edward. They've known each other since they were 6. Jade is not the type to socialize with people, especially people thinking that they're royalty, and that's probably why she was labeled as a "loner " at bottom of the school's social chain.

All the girls drool over him, but he didn't give a shit about them. He was mysterious, he was one of the 5 Musketeers with Jason, William, Ryder, and Andy.

When both of them get to know each other, their hearts slowly ache, but why? Will they heal? Or is it only one of them? Read it to find out more * Sort of a cliche story * WARNING: STRONG LANGUAGE

"What are you doing?" He glances up at me through his glasses, his bored tone sending a jolt through me as I straddle his lap. I know he's a god at this 'poker face' game, but he needs to realise that his body always tells a different story like how hard he's gripping my thigh right now and how hard he is beneath me. Yet, I can't ignore the power he exudes. There's this strange, dominating energy about him that makes me feel small as if I am a rat being cowered back into a hole.
