After the tragic loss of her sister, Jacqueline Peterson thought she'd left her small Colorado town-and her tangled past-behind for good. Staying with her aunt in Washington felt like a fresh start, a chance to move on and forget. Unfortunately, her parents have other plans. They're forcing her to return home to finish high school with her childhood friends, hoping for one last chance for her to say goodbye.

But when Jackie steps back into her old life after five years away, everything has changed. Two of her childhood best friends are now inseparable from Liam Brown, the charming troublemaker who was once her biggest headache, and her other best friend has morphed into someone unrecognizable, which leaves Jackie feeling more like an outsider than ever.

As she navigates the minefield of complicated relationships and high school drama, Jackie finds herself drawn to Liam, no matter how hard she tries to resist. He insists that he's different now and just wants a second chance to prove himself, but can she really trust a boy who used to make her life as miserable as she made his?All Rights Reserved

May the Best Ex Win by CAITLlN

An ex-couples rivalry for the spot as student body president becomes even more convoluted when two new, unexpected candidates enter the race. Chloe and Preston team up, each vowing to get one member kicked from the competition-- but when they both end up helping their victims to spite each other, the campaign gets a lot more complicated. * * * * * Chloe Peters is determined to solidify her most-popular-girl-in-school status with the label of student body president, so she's furious when three other candidates enter the race. Now, she's competing against her ex-boyfriend Preston McMillan, some nobody named Emily, and the school's notorious troublemaker, Finn Harrel. If it means saving her pride and not letting Preston get the best of her, she'd do just about anything-- even help out Finn, who despite his good looks, gets on her last nerve with his lackadaisical attitude and class-clown antics. Preston McMillan just wants a distraction from the fact that his wrestling team is about to be disbanded. When he signs up for the presidential race, he doesn't expect Chloe to go berserk, nor does he expect to meet Emily, a quiet, stony girl he can't believe he's never noticed before. After deciding to help with her campaign, he's got plenty of distractions-- enough to make him wonder what really matters, and enough to make his friends question where his loyalties lie. One thing's for sure: suddenly, this race is about a lot more than student government. 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐏𝐋𝐄𝐓𝐄𝐃 (𝐮𝐧𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐝) - 𝟑/𝟖/𝟐𝟎𝟏𝟗 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐏𝐋𝐄𝐓𝐄𝐃 (𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐬) - 𝟏𝟎/𝟏𝟓/𝟐𝟎𝟏𝟗 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐏𝐋𝐄𝐓𝐄𝐃 (𝐦𝐚𝐣𝐨𝐫 𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐬)- 𝟖/𝟐𝟒/𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟎

He's the bad boy of the school. However, he's not so much a bad boy. He's simply misunderstood. Only, he's been through quite a lot, just like Megan.

Perfect mixture by tipsy_buttercup036

Hailey Ryans your cliche girl with an extremely pretty face and a good girl vibe but she's not even close to it. Excessively clumsy, unorganized, messy, uncoordinated, weird, always finds herself in trouble, embarrasses herself way too often, way too hyper, and the tendency to do stupid things like she has nine lives, Hailey's personality is a bit too much. To sum it all up, she's the perfect definition of a walking disaster. Jayden Brown - supposed to hate Hailey because of a certain incident but can't find it in himself. He's reserved, with only a few words here and there, she's a certified yapper. He's careful and organized, she's forgetful and careless. He keeps a cool head, well sometimes, but she's always stressed out. He's thoughtful and reasonable, she's well, super clumsy. He observes and studies, she's oblivious and next to dumb. They're polar opposites but maybe that's what he sees in her. The exact opposite of him. Associating with her definitely comes with disastrous consequences but what's fire for if not to play with it? A combination of both of them makes fire come alive but who knows? Maybe that's the perfect mixture.
