Livy's always been the supporting actress rather than the star of both her real life and the school plays. She thought she was happy living on the sidelines until she's cast as the lead in the school play opposite her step brother's best friend, high-school bad boy Xander Davis. Now Livy suddenly finds herself center stage in both the play and a secret romance with Xander. Is she willing to take the risk of stepping out into the spotlight or will she stay in the safe role she has always know?
This story is inspired by the movie the Kissing Booth. Or, really, interviews I saw with Joey King and Jacob Elordi about filming the Kissing Booth. I thought how romantic it was that they fell in love while filming the movie. And, I thought how incredibly awkward it would have been for a teenage girl to do all of those scenes if she had been any less self assured and professional than Joey King is. So , I set my story in a high school that was putting on the play the Kissing Booth, and made my own characters with their own insecurities and struggles. I will be updating this once a week if anyone starts reading it.

Sink or Swim
"I can't be just friends with you," he whispered bringing his hand against my cheek cupping it slightly. "McCormick," I sighed. I leaned in a little to his touch. Probably making the situation worse but I couldn't help it. It felt so good. "One last kiss that's all I ask". He said before leaning in slightly. His eyes grazed to my lips and back to mine. ------- After a long summer of trying to get over heartbreak, Kennedy and her friends are back for more.

Kissing My Ex ✔
Guardians of Freecaster High #1 "That doesn't make any sense. You were the one who left me. You didn't care anymore."

"J-Jace, you don't have t-to do this," I stammer, already losing the fight as my body melts against his. Jace's hand moves to trace his thumb across my bottom lip.

Life Without Noah Flynn ✔️
Elle and Lee had been best friends all their life until she fell for his Brother Noah. She nearly lost them both but now she has two Flynn boys to call her own. Now Lee and Elle are in their final year and Noah is away at Harvard, half the way across the country. Noah and Elle are trying to make long distance work for the most part. But when an accident happens Elle feels as though she may have just lost her happy ending. With college looming for both Elle and her best friend she is unsure if her Flynn boys will remain both hers. All original characters from the kissing booth belong to Beth Reekles and Netflix. Just a few added characters of my own. Hope you enjoy it. I base most of what I'm writing mainly on the book rather than the movie. A little about me... So, I'm probably older than most people who have written something along these lines but I just got caught up in the sweet story. It made me feel nostalgic about young love and I after I've read some of the other follow ons from the kissing booth I thought I'd give it a go. Now it's been a long time since I've ever written anything so go easy on me. I work full time so any updates might take time so bare with. Hope you like what you read.Complete
