"Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over, it became a butterfly. The moment you're ready to quit is usually the moment right before a miracle happens. Don't give up."
          - Barbara Haines Howett

Mexican-American, antisocial, painter Mariposa Montoya tries to keep her head low during her senior year, with the only intentions of graduating and making it into a prestigious art school.

When someone from her past comes back to school, she begins to relive the haunting memories of her past.

As her problems begin to increase, she begins to isolate from the most important people in her life, giving up on the ideas of happiness, love, and life...

Until she met Oscar Shields.

Oscar is the golden boy of the city. From being the captain of the football team to having the hot looks of a Greek god.

When two opposites meet, it can either be the beginning of something beautiful, or a recipe for disaster.

But through thick and thin, only one thing remains.

Can Oscar save Mariposa?

Can he save her before it's too late?

While max learns to fall in love with crystal, crystal herself learns what really caused Yasmine's death. And what might actually, lead to her detriment too.

High school never seemed so dangerous, uhm, fun!
I Fell in Love with a Bad Boy by Beautiful_Tragedy8
33 parts Complete
CRINGE WARNING! First book I ever wrote on here!! -- "Sometimes the person who you are willing to take a bullet for is the person behind the gun." I stood peering over the cold lifeless body that lay before my eyes. I had always thought of death the enemy, but right now, I blessed it upon the person who is now at peace. Sometimes you don't need to be the smartest, or the fastest, but you do need to be wisest. They say the blood runs deeper than water, and I believe it, because even though the people that we love can turn on us and begin to hate us, they are only human, meaning that soon they will begin to see how short life really is and how it is not to be wasted. People who seem perfect and they look like they have no floors'; they are the people who are suffering, like I was. But I found my savior in the most uncommon place. He was able to look through my mask, he saw the cracks, and tried to fix the broken girl that hid away deep inside the girl who only wanted to be seen as 'fine'. I slowly began to find comfort and safety in him, and I did the same to him. We were two broken people becoming whole. Someone once said when you pass, if you can count your true friends on one hand you are beyond lucky, and I even though I did not like the person that lay before me, I know that he once had true friends, including me. I'm a 17 year old girl who has suffered more than any other, beginning to believe that 'Hope' was just another word the people throw around. Until I fell in love with a badboy.

The Great Pretender by call_me_clover
52 parts Complete Mature
Cherish had never been good at coping. She knew this. It had always been Len who'd held her together. But with Len gone, Cherish turned to the only coping mechanism she knew- denial. It was easy, simply pretend it hadn't happened; pretend he hadn't happened, pretend she hadn't happened. All she had to do was ignore any and everything that served as a reminder. Even if that meant moving and changing everything about herself and living as a shell. The problem? Everything reminded her. Her sister, her old friends, even her own skin. And she was putting so much effort into avoiding the newest truth that threatened to pull her apart, that she was letting her guard slip elsewhere. For years she'd kept a careful distance from boys, steeling her heart from a pain that scared her. And yet somehow, the strange new boys had managed, despite her best efforts, to work their way into her life. Cherish was soon going to learn that pretending was just that; pretending. That she could only patch the walls that she'd built around herself for so long. It would only be a matter of time before her dam would break and the buildup of her denials would surge through and drown her. She would need to learn to cope and trust or be washed away in the flood. Rated Mature for dark themes and substance use & abuse and language
