Please note that this is a rough first draft. I literally write and post. This is also my first attempt. I'm not saying TGS is terrible, but there will be mistakes and plot-holes. You have been warned :P

Her Conscience
Star is a different type of girl. Ever since she got detached from her divorced, emotionally unavailable parents, she's been filling up her quiet, lonely world with music and dancing. She's practically a musical prodigy at 16 and music can't possibly be taken away from her. The only people she's ever been really close to are her psycho, over enthusiastic bff's. They're the only people she can tolerate anyway. That's until one fateful day when she meets a cocky, narcissistic, though really cute guy at her favourite fro yo shop who gets under her skin for just being himself. She absolutely detests guys like him. Absolutely gorgeous, frustratingly charming, cocky as hell and shockingly talented at music. That's right. Star discovers that this seemingly unbearable guy loves music almost as much as she does and just that single fact makes her heart soften a little so she lets her guard down for just a tiny bit. But after that one moment that she decides to let it down, she realises that she can't get it back up again. She discovers she can actually feel things and once she acknowledges this, her whole world is completely changed from the quiet, peaceful, drama free life she has always been used to into a series of drama, heartbreak, tears, broken trusts and friendships. |Featured X1| @romance(high school romance)Complete
Heart & Soul
Erika Taylor is the complete opposite of her geeky, science- and technology-driven family. She writes songs and creates the backing tracks for them, but no one in her family knows that. Especially her sister, who is obsessed with a show called "Choosing Right", and of course, secretly applied for her sister to be in it, while Erika had dreams of attending a small school for producing music outside of her parent's knowledge. And, as it so happens, she gets chosen to be one of the competitors on the show. Now, she has to spend a long thirty-two weeks convincing a boy to either fall in love with her or make sure she never catches feelings for him. When it comes down to it, can she keep the hundreds of secrets from everyone she knows or does time tell all? DISCLAIMER: please don't steal my idea, storyline, or the alternate universe I've created (although I'd probably be flattered), and most of the songs in this book are mine (you'll know which ones aren't but those aren't mine to begin with), so please don't steal those either because those are really hard to writeComplete
