Cassandra Gray is and always will be a nerd. She's the kind of girl that wears superman tees and reads comic books, and has never missed a superhero movie premiere. Of course, she was bullied a lot. At least she had always had her best friend Aidan to watch her back. In eighth grade, Cassie is forced to move to Ohio and leave her best friend behind. She learns that if nobody's there to stick up for her, life is living hell. She stops bringing her comics to school, changes out her glasses for contacts, and does what she can to to fit in. Even worse than school is her stepfather, Steven, who has been abusing her for the past year. When she finally calls the police, Steven is put in jail and Cassie and her mom get as far away from him as possible, which means moving back home to the life she left behind. Cassie comes back in time for senior year and just wants things to go back to the way they were. Instead she discovers a new life better than anything she could have imagined.

Safe Haven
"The only trouble that I would tolerate is the trouble that you bring" ** Most love stories start with a romantic-cliche start. A meeting in the library, a chance encounter at school or even a crosswalk in a busy road but this story would have a different start-- A half naked girl to be exact. Isabella is a shut in. She's basically a modern vampire, she's rich, sleeps in every morning, afraid of light and runs on one type of liquid--coffee. Isabella wanted to have her own space so she moved out of their million dollar home. Little did she know that her goal in achieving a quiet life would soon be ruined by her true self. Shawn is a nerd. That's basically what he is. Black haired guy with black eyes plus the black thick rimmed glasses. He likes to study, he doesn't have a wide social circle nor a number of contacts on his phone aside from his sister. He likes to watch cat videos and danger also happens to follow him quite closely. Two similar people with huge differences, can they even get along? Would Isabella finally let a dim light enter her room of darkness? Can Shawn accept fatal flaws and sacrifice everything just for his own selfish desires? ** ON GOING

It's my last year and I still haven't had my first boyfriend, nor do I want one. My friends are more interested in getting me involved in a love life than I am, and will do anything to make it happen. This involves taking the side of Derek, a player and flirt in my school. The only way to avoid him is to tell him I'm already seeing someone. Who better to say then my first crush, Ashton? He moved away years ago and I could just tell him it was long distance right? Wrong. What am I going to do once I find out Ashton's on his way back and I have to convince Derek we're dating? It was just a little crush and we were best friends, I'm sure he'll go through with it... Right?Complete
Cynical Souls
COMPLETED✅ Two high school teenagers finding themselves, analyzing this ever changing world, and building love. This is the type of love you wish you found in high school but probably know way too well that it only exists as fiction. Today I'm turning my fiction to reality. ❣️•••❣️ Excerpt: Just as I was about to seek shelter under some building's roof, the tires of a car come to a halt, I wonder who might pity the lonely girl walking in the rain. The passenger window rolls down, and I spot the most unexpected person seated behind the wheel. "Get in" comes out his voice, and I must've stood there agape for a few moments because next comes his rhetorical question. "Are you getting in or continuing walking in the rain?" Eyebrows raised expectantly. He sounds annoyed, like he regrets his decision to ever stop and help me. ❣️•••❣️ #5 in cynical #2 in loveandfriendship #1 in opinionated #4 in ihatelife #10 in nerdgirl #10 in HighschoolRomance #26 in GoodGirlBadBoy *contains mature themes. *contains cursing.Complete

Maybe Happily Ever After✔️
I chuckled slightly and shook my head. "Does that usually work for you? The cute little remarks and that nice smile." I teased. He gave me a sheepish look of surprise. "Most girls would be flattered at my attempt to flirt with them." I scoffed and shook my head. "Well, as a member of the "most girls" community, I can say that I am not." "Wow. That's a bit harsh." He gave me a smug look and crossed his arms. "Sorry," I shrugged. "I'm immune to boy charms. In fact, I think I'm allergic." "Well, don't think so highly of yourself. Just because you have cute dimples and a pretty face, doesn't mean I find you attractive." ------------------------------ Maya Cameron is a senior at Ohio State University and this is the year where you need to get your life together before you get pushed out into the real world.

With her mom and dad's unfortunate death, she's been left under the care of her evil step-aunt and forced to stay with her annoying step-cousin. As if college isn't stressful enough. And then there's this other guy in her life. They met online by accident and have been talking for months but she's not brave enough to make it something real.

That was until he met this girl. He doesn't even know her name or what she looks like, but she's the girl he'd want to be real with. Because of circumstances, Will needs an English tutor or he won't be able to play. And much to her dismay, Maya is the perfect person for the job.
