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

The Secrets in the Shadows by CaitlynDisotell

She's off-limits. He can't resist. Elysia has always loathed Jesse, her brother Wyatt's brooding best friend. Since childhood, his sharp tongue and icy glare have been reserved solely for her. Now a freshman at Acadia College, Elysia finds herself navigating the typical college experience-classes, parties, and the occasional flirtation-all while trying to avoid the infuriating presence of Jesse. But one night, a reckless decision at a frat party lands Elysia in a dangerous situation. When Jesse grabs her off the cold blood-soaked floor, she's left with more than just gratitude. Something shifts between them. The animosity that defined their relationship is overshadowed by an undeniable, scorching attraction. Jesse, the quintessential bad boy with a motorcycle and a penchant for trouble, has always seen Elysia as his best friend's little sister-completely off-limits. But saving her life ignites a possessive desire he can no longer ignore. He needs her, craves her, and is determined to have her, consequences be damned. Set against the backdrop of a close-knit South Dakota town dominated by Acadia College, their magnetic pull threatens to unravel long-standing loyalties and shatter the peace. As Elysia grapples with her growing feelings for the one man she loves to hate, she must decide if she can trust Jesse with her heart. But at what cost will their forbidden love come? A steamy enemies-to-lovers romance, perfect for readers who crave intense chemistry, forbidden desire, and a touch of small-town drama.

The Thing About Flip Flops by yellowbility

Audrey Parker has been metaphorically tossed into a cabinet for her whole life. Everyone's left her; her mom died when she was young, her sister Genevieve has recently moved out for college, and worst of all, at the end of her senior year she herself will graduate high school and move away from everything and everyone she knows. Sure, she has her father, her twin brother, her boyfriend Chris, and her chaotic group of friends, but she knows their time together is running out. But not everything is about leaving. Some things are about coming back. When the unbelievably annoying, terribly charismatic, musically-inclined, and undeniably hot Jack Golden comes back to town after years of being MIA, Audrey finds her life completely thrown upside down by his crazy adventures and dashing smirks. And maybe he's the glue she's been searching for to hold her life together.

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.

Forgotten ✓︎ by coffeeaddict17

Megan Stewart hasn't known much happiness. She's only 17, but her life has been hard. However, despite all that she's been through, Megan keeps a smile on her face. Meet Jared Wesly. 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. In fact, they have more in common than Megan knows. When Jared and Megan's worlds collide (quite literally), Megan finds herself drawn to the boy that annoys her to no end, teases her, but makes her feel happy and protected, something almost unknown to her. Megan must make a choice in the end: Does she take a chance with the familiar boy, or does he become another "What if?" in her life? NOTE: I first wrote this story when I was around 13-14, so there will be cliches and cringe-worthy writing at moments. *Caution: Some language*
