Seventeen years old Sam Adams doesn't do well with people. He prefers staying home on the weekends and staying away from parties. He has only one friend- and that's his older sister, who is now off to college, leaving Sam to spend his days at home with his mom and his painting. Until one day, his mother decides to transfer him to an all-boy boarding school, thinking that will force her son to socialize. But Sam didn't tell her that at his old school, he was being bullied. The broken arm she thought had occurred from falling was actually caused by bullies. Now in his new school, Sam learns that everyone has a club they belong to. Sam knows that no one will want to befriend the shy, introvert boy who spends his days drawing. But you can't stay alone in this school, which Sam comes to realise when the school's bullies pick him as their new target, and that makes Sam think that this is how he'll spend the rest of his two years in school. Until suddenly, the most secluded club decides to defend Sam and take him under their wings. No one is as surprised as Sam that the group of four scary boys wants to include the quiet boy in their club. But the most shocking thing is that the cold, feared boy named Ren starts showing Sam his soft and kind side no one ever got to see.

The Queen of the Elves
Caroline Jones is a quiet, small, and--quite frankly--socially awkward 16 year old. She has had a lot happen and was thrown suddenly from a life of homeschooling to public school. To top it all off her parents are getting a divorce due to a tragedy that has just visited their family. She doesn't have any friends at her new school, and spends her time writing on a novel, or climbing trees with her cat. She is invisible... until Richie and Bernard kidnap her and she is thrown into a world that she only thought existed in fantasy novels. She is completely helpless. Mason Harvey is also a quiet kid, and he also had a rough past, but his rough past is from the fantastical world that Caroline was previously unaware of. Can Mason save Caroline from the two boys before she becomes forever enslaved? And what will happen when he discovers Richie and Bernard are not what they seem? *** Here's my little disclaimer, guys: This is a very happy-go-lucky almost romance that I wrote back in grade school. There is proper grammar and I personally think it has a fun plot, BUT there isn't much complexity to it. It's short and sweet if you want to give it a read :)Complete
I Fell in Love with a Bad Boy
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.

Before I open my mouth to argue, he holds up a finger, gesturing to me to be quiet. "You're stubborn, naive, and a pain in the ass. But I'm not letting you go on the subway with strangers who smell awfully bad," he says. "You're a stranger, too!" I state out and cross my arms. "What's the difference?" I ask. "Well, first of all, I'm not a stranger. We both know that. And second of all... I smell good," he smirks. "Don't flatter yourself," I mock. "Please Lesley! Just get in the car," he says. And I see defeat filling up his piercing green eyes. I look down as he sighs and runs a hand through his thick black hair. "I'll give you your keys back," he says as he raises his eyebrow, waiting for me to reply. "Fine." I storm by him and slam the car door shut.Complete
