Blind Beauty (Preview) by LiAWake

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Brett was among the many outcasts in the school's four walls. He didn't have the world in his hands like some of the popular kids, but he also wasn't struggling; he was right in the middle. Believing that there was nothing special about him, Brett lived a simple life. He was good in school, had no relationships, and had no problems; that's what he lived by. Spending time with his close-knit group of friends, Brett never thought anything would change in his high school life until he noticed the mysterious girl across the room. With an alluring aura about her, Brett starts to give in to his emotions, while temptation starts to weigh on him as he quickly finds himself in a war zone between love and lust. Only one will walk away the winner while the other is left picking up their pieces. Will Brett make the right choice, or will it all come crashing down as he becomes a part of both girls' inner circles and discovers their secrets?

The Bad Boy's Roommate by emmy_robby

Brooke Jones was on honor roll in high school, perfect attendance, as well as valedictorian. She played varsity softball all four years and was in almost every club, so you can imagine she was accepted into almost every college she applied to, including her dream school. Clemson University. On the other hand, James Field had barely graduated with a 2.3 GPA and was late to almost every class. He was always ditching and never got involved in anything besides football. He was the captain of the varsity football team and was devoted solely to his sport. Football was the only reason he got a full ride to a college he didn't even apply to. Clemson University. Nothing stood in the way of James's chances for the school, but there was one major obstacle for Brooke. All but one of the dorm rooms were full and she couldn't afford an apartment. The only dorm room remaining was James Field's. How will Brooke, the innocent honor student, cope with living with James, the football jock bad boy? Find out in "The Bad Boy's Roommate."

Reviving Old Flames by voltembers

In her freshman year, Isabel Caldwell has everything-popularity, loyal friends, and an undeniable spark with Evan, her brother's best friend. But what no one knows is that she carries a secret no high schooler should: memories of her past lives. And in every lifetime, fate has led her back to him. But the past doesn't always stay buried. When whispers spread that she's the reason for Evan's messy breakup, Isabel finds herself entangled in a dangerous game of jealousy, secrets, and suspicion. Her once-perfect world begins to crack, and the echoes of her past lives bleed into the present-bringing back love, heartbreak, and unfinished business. With her best friends Lexi and Kelsey by her side, Isabel must navigate the thin line between destiny and choice. But as memories resurface and enemies close in, she realizes that her past isn't just history-it's a warning. Some loves are meant to last forever. But others? They were never meant to be remembered.

Growing Pains by actuallyitsmonica

In the day-to-day trenches of high school, it is almost the default-setting to believe we are the main character of our own coming-of-age story. This is not wrong. It's just ours isn't the only story there is. The jocks, the nerds, the cheerleaders, the losers, the stoners, the fangirls, the skaters. Everyone's the realest most important person in existence, all of them, at the same time, first-person narrators to their own stories, stumbling into each other's plot lines, defying the status-quo, catalysts to ups and downs. A deconstruction of all the high school tropes and cliches written over the years, a deep-dive into the psyche of students trying to finish high school while going through irrevocable self-discovery, the most improbable of connections, and the insufferable pains of growing up.
