Danielle Martin isn't a typical girl in high school. She doesn't wear tight clothes or pounds of makeup, she isn't popular and isn't really a big fan of all the attention. Books and Netflix are her Friday nights, staying home and eating sweets and junk. She's small and vulnerable, shy because she doesn't have the life everyone thinks she does.
But that all changes...
Now, Blake Daniels is a stereotypical high school guy. Captain of the football team, unbearably attractive, and one of the most popular guys to walk the school. To anyone else, his life is amazing. But to him, it sucks. Family issues and lost battles leave him weak and vulnerable to the ones who want to break him more.
But that also all changes...
Will their newfound love save them from the struggles they face? Can they survive with all the drama and rumors being thrown at them? It all comes down to one thing in the end.
Can they make it together?

Childhood Sweethearts
#1 Teen Fiction | #1 Young Adult | #1 Romance "We all need someone to drive us mad." - The Wombats. He stared arrogantly down at me, a smirk plastered across his face. I sneered up at him with distaste, wanting to wrap my fingers around his neck and strangle that smirk off of him. He brushed my golden hair from my face, his long, slender fingers sparking electricity in my skin, making my knees wobble together. "Will you ever, forgive me?" he whispered huskily, his eyes intently staring into mine. His face was only mere inches from me. I just needed to reach out a little further to kiss him... "Yeah. Over my dead body." I snapped, before throwing my arms out forcefully, shoving my hands into his chest, pushing him from me. -*-*-*- He, is Carter Williams. I, am Lacey Adams. We were once, inseparable. The 'Golden Couple'. The unbreakable best friends, that everybody envied. Nothing could get between us.

Leaving me to stay with Carter and his parents, who are never home. We would be alone. In one house. Under the same roof. If I was insane before, I have no idea what I am now. © 2016 by LaurenJ22.

Leo is basic. He's a linebacker for his high school's football team, has average grades, and a heart of gold. His parents are the spitting image of romance, meeting at a young age, traveling around the world, until settling in a small town in Oregon, where they opened a bakery. One thing that may ruin his 'perfect' image, is the fact that he's closeted. Everything in his life is going smoothly- until he meets Wesley. Wesley is the kind of guy you wouldn't want to bring home to your parents. His main interests are: getting into fights, cursing like a sailor, and playing the guitar. His parents on the other hand, are not so great. Fighting all of the time and arguing over little things (including Wesley himself), are their strong suits. Leo and Wesley's crash into each other's lives flips them upside down. After the universe throws them together so many times, the unlikely pair develops indescribable feelings toward each other. The question is: Will they both get over themselves and realize that something is going on between them, or will they just do the stupid thing and ignore it?
