I couldn't live a life of lies that people spewed about me. I was going to spin my own lies to live in them. 

---

Nothing however, had prepared me for what I saw, when I turned around to face Jake again. I gasped and did a double take. 


I was still staring at the far end of the club, in mortification. No. It couldn't be him. Yet, I knew. I knew it was him.

Paige Reed had created a decent enough life for herself. For about two years, it had been going smooth. But two days till Senior Year, and she thinks she saw someone from her old town. Someone from her past. Someone she thought she'd never see again. 

She just couldn't let him know she was here. She couldn't let him break the facades she created.All Rights Reserved

More Than Just A Story by SammyDBunce

Noah Everlie Transit's world just got turned up side down, or maybe right side up when you really think about it. When the police show up at her door, claiming that the mother she had been told was dead her whole life, is alive and has custody, she's sent across the country to live with her. She doesn't want to leave her life behind though, and when she finds out a startling secret, she comes up with a plan to get sent back, except there's one problem. Ryder Fox, her cute next door neighbor who she might just want to stay for, with her best friend Kylie on the other side of the country waiting for her to come home, and secrets of her own. She just feels like no matter what she does, she's going to end up hurting someone, and when it turns out things might not be what she thought. Every thing gets so much harder to figure out, and she starts to wonder if she's gotten herself into a mess she might not be able to get out of. .... He smirks, "I told you it was" and I realize that I really like this side of him. Yesterday when we were playing games and the conversation would drift to family, he would tense up and change the subject, but right now, in this moment, He seems so carefree, not like a boy who's clearly getting over something in his past. He looks at me weirdly, but still smiling "what?" I shrug "nothing, I just like your smile" I tell him and then turn back to my food.

Bitter Heart √ by Crystal7016

Caden Miller. Hot, cynical, and notoriously labelled the bad boy of Crestmont High. Attention-seekers flirt with him. Idiots fight with him. The ones who know what's good for them, stay away from him. If you fight him, you know you'll lose soon. Short-tempered, mysterious, and those oh-so-hot looks. All of that was enough for a person to fall head over heels for him. If only he cared to give a shit about them. Not when he was also the youngest gang leader in New York City, with just one mission in mind: stop his equally cynical brother from ruining his life more than he already had. Skylar Anderson. Not a nerd. Or a cheerleader. All she cares about is her workaholic (and maybe even a little dysfunctional) parents, her adorable cat and her not-so adorable best friend, and her sleep. Quite literally. Living a normal and carefree life, trying her best not to flunk Physics, there wasn't anything more that she wanted. Until she receives a letter in her mailbox... ...and that normal, carefree life goes right above the clouds. . . . "Tʜᴇ ᴘʀᴏʙʟᴇᴍ ɪꜱ," ʜᴇ ꜱᴀɪᴅ ᴀꜱ ʜᴇ ʟᴇᴀɴᴇᴅ ᴄʟᴏꜱᴇʀ, "Iғ ɪ ᴋɪꜱꜱ ʏᴏᴜ, ɪ ᴅᴏɴ'ᴛ ᴛʜɪɴᴋ ɪ'ᴅ ʙᴇ ᴀʙʟᴇ ᴛᴏ ꜱᴛᴏᴘ." #2 in Chick-lit #1 in Humor #7 in Romance #1 in Teen Fiction #3 in The Grace Awards 2019 Text copyright © Crystal7016 ™ 2018 Cover credits: @youtumblrgeek ✨

Rules to Feeling Lonely by LoveForPie7

Alone. A simple word that has always held many meanings to Ella, and starting her senior year at a new high school, solitude had seemed the easiest way to go. A week passed, bland and unnoticed, before her plans quickly get thrown overboard. Losing one of her most priced possessions, she finds herself making a rather simple deal with someone from school. His name, for her book. There's only one little problem; she has no idea who this person is. Laughs and tears, friends and heartbreak, and the past that comes knocking on the door. Ella faces it all as she takes on the search to find her secret admirer. ___________________ "I can't believe him after the texts, the letter, the flowers. All these months and he just tells me 'we'll talk later'", I told him, feeling absolutely frustrated. I am so damn stupid, thinking this was gonna be something special or whatever. "It isn't him", he suddenly spoke and I just rolled my eyes. He doesn't even know what he's talking about, the imbisile. "It is, you don't even know what you're talking about so shut up", I cried out, walking forth and back for the hundredth time. "Listen, I do and it isn't him", he yelled this time and I stopped walking, angrily turning to him. Can he stop just pissing me off even more? "Oh yeah? And how are you so sure?" "Because it's me"

The Perks Of Falling For Your Bestfriend✔ by Anamtaa

"In vain have I struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you." -Pride and Prejudice. -Jane Austen. Allison Waters is a girl as simple as they come, atleast that's what she believed. And to be honest she did enjoy a simple life for the past two years. All she wanted to pass her senior year in peace and be happy in life. What she wasn't expecting was to be back in town with a certain Greek God of a Devil acting more annoying than ever... Calling him tall dark and handsome would be the understatement of the century. He is the arrogant quarterback and one of the most popular guys in shcool. He is as I mention previously the reincarnation of the devil in his actions and a Greek God in the looks department, with startling blue eyes, a sinful body and gorgeous hair, who may at different times define the words Cocky and Adorable. Quite a contrast isn't it? Well that's who he is, or for that matter how we all are... a bit of both. Ashton Fobes is Alli's bestfriend, well Ex-Bestfriend, he is also her arch nemisis, her sworn enemy, but he is also the only one who can make her push her limits and challenge her in ways she never thought possible. Soon they were playing with Cupid's arrows trying to set up the unlikeliest couple imaginable, but what they seemed to have forgotten was Fate's wierd sense of humor and so it turned out while they were playing with Cupid's Arrows, he was aiming them at these two instead. Ps: I have now unpublished most of the chapters. Highest Ranking: 30, 35, 50 in teen fiction. 32, 66 in ChickLit. 46, 47, 78 in humor.

The Best Kind of Betrayal by scout245

It's the first day of June's senior year and everything is already going wrong.

Oh - and a whole new fake boyfriend, to get some revenge on that idiot who dumped her. And who knows. Maybe even more.
