I go by the name Jules Evans. Just thought I should put that out there, not that you will remember me soon anyway. I'm more of the blend-in-the-background sort of girl. Not by choice though - oh no, I would give anything to change that.
You see the 'problem' is my best friend, Lily Everret. She is the living definition of perfection. Everything about her attracts people - her looks and her personality. For as long as I can remember Lily and I have been attached to the hip. We've spent every moment possible together because we grew up next door to each other.
Recently though, it seems like everywhere we go together I become a spectator. Everyone around me forgets I'm there, like when someone is trapped behind a glass wall but no one seems to notice their incessant pounding - that's what its like.
I've done the 5 mile walk back home in the rain, the drunken pick-ups from parties I never even went to and just recently I sacrificed my long-time crush, Colt, for her. But this, ladies and gentlemen, is where I take my stand. I'm going to speak now and make my voice heard. It's about time the people of Westfield finally started to recognise Jules Evans as a person and not Lily's "creepy follower".

The Bad Boy and Me
Meet Violet Summers. She's the sarcastic girl who doesn't really ever get noticed by anyone. She blends into any crowd because of how "normal" she is. And she loves it. She wouldn't be able to stand the attention of everyone around her. That's why she won't tell Ryan Bloore, her crush for three years, that she practically worships the ground he walks on. Ryan is the captain of the basketball team at their school, so guys see him like he's a god and girls act like he walks on water. If they were to date, all eyes would be on her- she would be under everyone's scrutiny. So she's kept her feelings a secret, and she's done her best to suppress her emotions these past years, but she's realized that she's been so caught up in making people not notice her that she didn't realize how lonely she would be when no one was watching. Now meet Ryder Knight. School bad boy. Quarterback captain and heartthrob. The kind that wears a leather jacket and has tattoos all over his arms. The one who shows up to school riding a motorcycle. Just your average run of the mill "if you get involved with this guy, you will meet some serious trouble" kind of male. Well, too bad for Violet, she's stuck with him now. After all of the years of pushing away her feelings for Ryan because of her fear of being seen, she is now all anyone can look at- because of Ryder. Because of him, she can feel their stares, and she hates him for it. The longer they spend time together, the more Ryder starts to realize he actually enjoys being around her-despite her snarky comments about how much she despises him. And if Violet is being completely honest with herself, she's also starting to realize she might not actually hate the fact that people are noticing her now, but hate the way Ryder makes her feel.Complete![Clemont x Reader [OLD]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/34428726-256-k724925.jpg)
Clemont x Reader [OLD]
A/N: I really hate this 2K writing limit. I copy and paste my stories from Word so It's kind of annoying. -Your P.O.V- "Clemont? What are you doing here, I thought you were absent because you weren't at class...." You asked the nerdy kid. "I've been working on my latest experiment." He mumbled. "Eh?" You teased, holding your hand up to your ear as a gesture for him to 'speak up.' "I said I'm WORKING ON MY LATEST EXPERIMENT." He said, but louder. "MISSSS!!!" You fake whined. "CLEMONT SHOUTED AT MEEEEE!!!!" Suddenly the supervisor came running up to you and Clemont, she sighed and shook her head. "Clemont, that's some very dangerous chemicals you're working on! If your experimenting, then please work in the science lab, but you'll need permission from your teacher. But shouting at (y/n)? Your not like that. But (y/n)'s likely to provoke people like this..." You rolled your eyes. The supervisor was startled and walked off. You swivelled back to Clemont, who was looking at you rather strangely. You shrugged your shoulders at him, and walked off like you didn't care. -Clemont's P.O.V- I looked up at the clouds, still drowsy from working with hypno chemicals. I was waiting outside for my younger sister, Bonnie to walk out the door, scream out my name and give me a giant hug. If I didn't have a younger sister, I would have been consumed by my depression.... perhaps..... maybe.... I've got to admit...I've got a huge crush on (y/n)...ever since I transferred. I always turn away and hide my flushed cheeks and sweating hands and shaking knees and...yeah... I wish I could be popular for her... but I'm not. I've asked Bonnie for advice as well...she says I should admit my feelings and she'll say her catchphrase tomorrow. To be honest...I don't want her to, she'll just laugh at me and Bonnie and my life will be ruined.Complete
Finding Purpose (+18) ✔️
***this book contains suicidal thoughts and tendencies, may not be appropriate for younger audiences*** In which she looks for the purpose of life. Lily Carter's parents died in a car crash leaving her and Laura, girl was depressed long before her parents passed away and with all the problems turning up now, Lily felt more miserable - if that's even possible. With her journey to look for life's purpose and grab the small pinch of HOPE - which is ironically her second name -, will she finally snap at the pressure and finally end it all? or will a small light lit her darkened world of grief and loneliness? * "So you know. The little goth girl who gets bullied is indeed a mess. There's this mess in her head that eats her alive everyday isn't it? What to do now Kaden? Tell the whole neighborhood and recieve an award for taking out a crazy in this world?" I spit like vomit. His eyes warmed up as I finished, "Lily. It isn't like that" "What is it then? People stopped caring... they gave up, why aren't you?" I fought my tears. "Because I feel the need to care. Did Leigh hurt you? Did she hit you?" he finally noticed the unusual redness of my cheek. I don't like the way he told me he needed to care for me. I felt like an obligation, a responsibility that he is carrying and carrying leads to getting tired and when people gets tired, they give up. I don't want them to give up on me. But they will, so it's good not to make them care for me in the first place. "I never needed anyone. I stopped needing anyone before, why start now?" I uttered the words again. Why? There is nothing to fight for. No mama. No papa. No sister to love me. No one. So why would I waste my life and the time of others to fix what is already broken - and someone who doesn't want to be fixed? If I may add. Maybe I gave up. No, scratch that. I gave up a long time ago - when my parents died, my hope and purpose went away with them.Complete
Love with strings detached
I put on a show only for him in front of hundreds of people. I bring one hand up to my hair flicking them to the other side, trailing that hand down to my sternum and then my boob as I keep swaying my hips from to side, bending my knees as I lower myself a bit to the ground before sharply standing up again and slowly spinning around, circling my hips. I run my hands through the back of my hair before nailing my gaze on his eyes, slowly walking up to him. I watch him as he wets his lips before biting his plumb bottom one, eyes trailing up my body. Once I reach him, I wrap my arms around his neck and run my fingers through his hair as I press my body up against his. His hands shoot out to grab me from my lower waist, pulling me even closer to him as he pushes a leg between mine, staring into my eyes. I turn my head to the side and brush my lips against his ear before licking and biting his earlobe the same way I did at the party before whispering a few words he was dying to hear. "Take me back to your place." ---------- Theo is a 20-year-old university student with a bad temper. Letting go of the past can be a difficult thing to do but a much-needed one to move on.

Assuming it's what he was like before all the bad stuff, the gentleman, playful but in a respectable way. 2) Anger Management Bucky- Super critical, edgy with a stare of death. That stare, it makes me worry, like I need to test my drink for fear he poisoned me, or is going to commit arson. Bites your head off, chews you up and spits you out. Gives zero fucks. 3) Fucky Bucky- The seducer. Can't keep his hands to himself and eye-fucks me when he sees me. The one with all the inappropriate jokes, the womanizer constantly taking a number of random assortment of women to his bed. ____ "Do you know what would look even better on you than blue?" His voice is seductive and familiar, I'm obviously talking to Fucky Bucky. I raise my eyebrows waiting for the answer. "Me." I roll my eyes. "Do you ever stop? Do you have some dirty pick-up line book that you pull all these from? I swear if you say 'Do you have any Super Soldier Serum inside you? No? Do you want some?' I just might throw up in my mouth." This is a slow burn, full of sexual tension and banter, just enough to keep your pallet wet until the full payoff at the end. RATED #1 in BuckyBarnesSmut 4/24/22-5/8/22Complete
My Best friends Ex
How would you describe Candice Parker? Well, everyone calls her Candy for starters. But she's not always sweet. She can be manipulative and plain rude sometimes, but I love her anyway, at least... I thought I did. Well anyway, she's as independent as a wild horse and as elegant as one too. All the lads fall head over heels for her but she ends us messing them around anyway, never been able to stick to one boy for over a week and naturally I haven't been able to get one for myself because all the hot ones are either one of her next victims or previous ones. She's as complicated as algebra but as easier to remember than anything else. My bestfriend.... My other best friend is Wesley green. Wes is one of the hottest lads in my school and he doesn't even know it. I think it's what makes him so irresistible to girls, even though he isn't the type to go around screwing every one that sent him a cheeky wink. I've known him since I was 5 and he's always been kind and considerate unlike lots of the lads I know that just want girls for fun, unlike the lads Candy usually pulls. He refuses to date her because he knows exactly what she's like. He walkes me to classes and we go to the cinema and he's a real sweet heart. Do I like him as more than a friend? Urm... No, I wouldn't say so... And then there's me. Where Wes and Candy are popular, I am most definitely not. I am that quiet shy girl that has only one or two friends and enjoys to read and do other things in her spare time but is still awesome enough to do everything a normal teenager does. However, this year took me by surprise, how? Enter Wade, schools quiet hottie who lives alone in the apartment above his parents pub. He's charming and kind and takes Natasha in when she was feeling down. The one problem is... he's one of Candy's ex's. Will he change Tasha's life or will he just be an addition to her small group of friends.Complete
The Rose Necklace
A "Beauty and the Beast" retelling. Once upon a time, there was a boy in love with a Lilly. Not a flower, but a girl. It all started one beautiful autumn day. One autumn day that would change the boy's life forever. For on this day, he met Lilly, a beautiful girl with an ugly secret. A secret that threatens to destroy her if she cannot find a way to break the curse forced upon her. Filled with secrets, lies, and love, this short story captures the essence of the original fairy tale with an entirely new twist. ~~~ "Hello, my name is Lilly. What's yours? Is that your mother? I only just came to live here with Ivy, and I don't know many people that come to visit her yet. Do you come often? If you do, we could be friends! Would you like that? To be friends? Why, don't you speak at all? And you should really close your mouth; it is impolite to stare like that." Ivy called out to her from the doorway of the cottage. "Lilly, if you want him to speak, you must first cease speaking." Both of the women were laughing at the children, and Lilly blushed at the comment. "Sorry! I just haven't seen anyone my age yet, and I got excited, which happens rather easily. It reminds me a bit of puppies I've read about that just get so excited that they- oops. I'm doing it again. Sorry," she said with a shy smile. Adam, who had been standing there staring, just as she had pointed out, finally found his voice long enough to tell her his name. She beamed at him, saying that they would be great friends. She seized his hand and began tugging him toward the woods behind the cottage, shouting to Ivy and his mother, "We won't go far! Be back soon!" ~~~Complete
All Of You
(Though highly recommend to read the book "Obsession, Madness & Love" first, this book can be read as a standalone.) ____________________________________________ I made a mistake. A terrible one. I betrayed my best friend. The only person who ever cared for me. But I had no choice. Then there's his younger sister, Maria Andrews who always looked up to me as if I was some kind of an angel, little does she know that I am far away from that. And now I am on the run, trying to leave everything behind. But it's been four years, four fucking years since her eighteenth birthday when she confessed having feelings for me. For Me. And her words still haunt me, the tears in her eyes when I rejected her still burn my heart but I did what I had to do. People don't love me, especially women...they only seek pleasure from me. I am not a lovable person and someone you should definitely steer clear of. Getting involved with my best friend's (or ex best friend's) sister is stupid and I'm fucking mature enough to not even think of her, of someone who is eight years younger than me. But now, she is here and God help me, I am about to cross every fucking line.Complete
