All Maddie Clare ever wanted was to be normal. She spent her whole life making sure she fit in with the popular crowd. She bought all the right clothes, talked to all the right people, and even steered clear of making enemies. And it was all thanks to Paige.
Paige Turner was everybody's favorite person. She was everything you'd want in a best friend - and that's exactly why Madison sought her out. Maddie needed a lot of help, and if anyone could help her, Paige would be the one to do it. Paige turned Maddie into your everyday good girl. She kept Maddie away from the wrong clubs, made sure she maintained flawless grades, and went through great lengths to get her the perfect boyfriend.
But Paige had secrets, many of which she kept from Maddie. While Paige may have given Maddie the perfect life, her own had a shady past and a not-so-happy future. All of this is revealed to Maddie when Paige goes missing. Now she has no one to rely on.
All Madison has now is detached personality and a ratty old journal that Paige hid in a secluded attic. However, that ratty old journal just might be what Maddie needed all along as she digs deeper into Paige's search for sweetness.

Camilla Fontaine and Paige Bueckers don't talk about the past. Not the friendship that made them untouchable. Not the fight that turned them into strangers. And definitely not the grudge that never really cooled off. But now? They're stuck in the same court, playing for the same team, pretending the silence between them isn't suffocating. The problem is, Paige and Camilla never learned how to stay quiet. Not with each other. Not when every word cuts deeper than it should. Not when no amount of fake smiles can hide the fact that they can't stand each other. Because love and hate? They're just two sides of the same poison.Completa![Resisting the Player -- [Completed - Unedited]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/192439904-256-k591569.jpg)
Resisting the Player -- [Completed - Unedited]
"Cassie," Aaron says. "I have detention. For two hours." My mouth drops open. "Fuck me," I groan. "Sorry," he smirks. "But you're not my type." --------- Cassandra Parker isn't looking for male attention; she just wants to make it through her last year of high school at Hilltop High with her two friends, Gracie and Gabs. But when she makes a deal with her parents to wear more gender tailored clothes, she is officially placed on the radar of almost every male at her school, including Aaron Brewer's. Aaron Brewer is a player in almost every sense of the word, sleeping with girls and then dropping them the next morning. All that changes when he meets Cass, who doesn't fall at his feet like the other girls. They grow closer, sleeping--innocently--together, partaking in almost-kisses and a variety of other things, but when a secret is revealed to Cass by two of the most important people in her life, loyalties are tested and boundaries are crossed as a person from her past infiltrates her present and threatens her future. ~~~ *Not edited* -- also, i literally wrote this book when i was like. 15? finished it when I was like 16? and then never touched it again.

Don't Save Me, Stay | Paige Bueckers
Arianna Torres is used to surviving alone. It's not that she prefers isolation-it's that it's safer. After all, people leave. People hurt. And no one sticks around when they see the real her: the trauma, the mood swings, the scars from growing up with a drug-addicted father and a mother who overdosed in the bathroom while Arianna was the one to find her. Diagnosed with BPD and PTSD, Arianna is constantly balancing between craving love and being terrified of it. She plays for UConn now, but she's not there to make friends-she's there to earn her future and keep everyone at arm's length. Until she breaks. After an intense away game triggers a panic attack followed by a near-complete shutdown, Arianna is put on temporary leave and forced into a recovery plan that includes one thing she never asked for: support. And the one assigned to check in on her, stay with her, and-God forbid-care about her? Paige Bueckers. The golden girl of college basketball. Charismatic, soft-spoken, patient. Everything Arianna isn't. What starts as reluctant forced proximity becomes something far more complex. Paige doesn't try to fix her. She just... stays. She doesn't ask for Arianna's secrets. She simply offers warm silences, movie nights, and shared playlists. The closer they get, the more Arianna starts to crack-not in a bad way, but in the kind of way that feels like healing. Like maybe being seen doesn't have to hurt. Maybe touch doesn't have to burn. Maybe someone can stay. But falling for someone when you're still learning how to exist is dangerous. Arianna's self-sabotage runs deep. Her fear of abandonment is a wildfire. And Paige, despite her calm, carries her own quiet grief-injuries, pressure, and the weight of being everyone's hope. As they navigate late nights and raw confessions, tangled blankets and bruised hearts, Arianna must face the hardest truth of all: What if love isn't about being saved, but about letting someone stay even when you're at your worst?Completa
Call My Bluff ∞ Paige Bueckers Sequel
❝ɪ ʙʟᴀᴍᴇ ʏᴏᴜ ᴀɴᴅ ʏᴏᴜ ʙʟᴀᴍᴇ ᴍᴇ. ɪ ᴘᴜᴛ ꜰɪʀᴇ ᴛᴏ ʏᴏᴜʀ ɢᴀꜱᴏʟɪɴᴇ.❞ there's a fine line between control and collapse, and Lorelei Campbell has always been both. But what happens when your world finally destructs and you're standing in the middle of it? When the calm you built becomes smoke in your lungs, and the person holding the match is the only one you ever let close enough to strike it. Paige Bueckers was supposed to be steady. Light. The thing that quieted the noise. Instead, she became the noise-louder, sharper, impossible to ignore. Now every glance feels like a challenge. Every word, a blade. The distance between them hums like static-too charged, too fragile, too dangerous to touch. And yet neither of them can look away. Because love like this doesn't fade. It festers. It rewrites you. It dares you to walk through the fire just to prove you can. Lorelei's always been good at pretending she's unshakable. But Paige knows better. She always has.

Still Here ~ Paige Buckers ~
When Zoe, a quick-witted, sharp-tongued girl living with cystic fibrosis meets basketball star Paige Bueckers, the last thing she expects is for Paige to stay. Zoe copes with sarcasm while Paige balances high-pressure basketball with being the kind of steady presence Zoe never knew she needed. Their story isn't about dramatic confessions or perfect timing, it's about the softness in showing up, the strength in staying, and the rare, quiet kind of love that holds on even when everything else feels like it's slipping away. "When I breathe, she stays. And when I can't, she holds on tighter."Completa

Ari, Dani, and Harris have been an odd trio for many years, but Dani suddenly goes missing, telling neither of her friends anything. Ari and Harris soon learn they really don't know each other but they know a lot about Dani. Will it be enough to find her? Excerpt: While we're both taking a second to brainstorm a woman with hair teased high enough to touch God saunters over. "Hey, y'all. I'm Miss Jenny," she smiles at us. "Heard you have a question for me." I hold the picture up for her to get a good look at Dani. "Have you seen her?" "Oh that sweet pumpkin?" Miss Jenny laughs. "Dani, right?" Harris and I exchange looks. Maybe this isn't a farfetched plan after all. "You've seen her?" Harris manages to blurt out. "We're really worried about her." "Yeah I have." Ms. Jenny puts her hands on her hips. "She's been coming to dinner every night for the last 4 days. Staying over at the Town 9 Motel." I could honestly cry right now. "Miss Jenny," I cut her off. "I'm sorry but could we get our food to-go and directions to this motel." (Book cover by @IAmRodneyVSmith)Completa
