Poppy Jameson has lived her life as an average. An average student. An average daughter. She isn't the favourite child, or the best student, and she has never been in a relationship. She doesn't want to fit in, but she doesn't want to stand out. She just wants to fly under the radar until high school is over. And she's almost there. That is, until she starts to fail biology and she's put into the school's tutoring programme. It's there that she meets Lewis Fletcher, the captain of the school's football team, and smartest guy in school. 

They spend every Monday afternoon together and it isn't long until Poppy realises that she's been missing out. That she's spent her entire high school career hating high school traditions when she should have been enjoying them.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: I am currently rewriting the entirety of Emily's story from scratch but I have decided in the meantime to republish my original version as it was written nearly a decade ago. Please understand that I was just fourteen when I wrote this and there will be some errors as I have not edited it since then. A [hopefully] better version will be coming soon and when it is finished and published I will link it here. Thank you and enjoy Emily's story. - Dash You know her name, now learn her story. Emily isn't perfect and she knows that. But in the span of nine months she went from regular girl to full-blown pop fascination after accidentally being pictured with the eldest son of one of the most popular soccer, or this case football, players in the world. Now her entire life's changed. She's dealing with high school mean girls and callouts from the biggest boy band in the world and she's just trying to navigate it all as best she can. But it's hard to perfect, especially when you know you aren't. Highest ranking: #4 in teen fiction

**an improved version of Isolation - the same story but rewritten to be more mature, and a better read** Megan Hayes and Logan Brooks are your typical, rebellious teenagers that spend more time in the school isolation room than an actual classroom. Well, that's Logan anyway, who's so close to expulsion that even getting a bad score on a class quiz could get him thrown out. They both attend a private school in the small town which consists of rules stricter than a prison, and a bunch of stuck up pupils with IQ's higher than Albert Einstein's. When Megan ends up falling to sleep in class because of the previous late night she had watching 'Keeping up with the Kardashians' until 1am with her Mum, she gets dropped in an after school detention faster than you can say "oops". But who knew that sitting through a detention, and later in an isolated room with Logan could quite possibly make the school she despises actually worth going to. And who knew that in the 5 years of going to the school, the only person she actually becomes close with (and I mean really close) is the guy shooting paper spitballs at the teacher.
