Every princess has something in the way of their Prince. Ariel's father kept her from going into the real world. Pocahontas's dad forbid her from interacting with the white men. My story is something like that, but it's reality. That means you can't predict that at the end, everyone will change their ways and have a happily ever after. No, this is reality and sometimes you have to Just Take The Shot.
Dylan Stark was born in a small town in Delaware and had a somewhat normal life. At 13 years old, something occurred in her life. She stayed in California for two years, then came back in the beginning of summer. At that time, another incident happened, sending her back to California. After another two years, she returned with a love of soccer that she made over four years. The problem is, her dad coaches football at the high school in Delaware, and hates soccer. How will she deal with keeping soccer a secret and finding a Prince Charming?

Ecstasy
Tyson Shelley is a very typical teenager: parties, girls, passionate about his garage band. Except he may have taken it too far. Whenever there's a party he's the first one with a drink in his hand, which would be all right, if he weren't popping pills as well. But what led him to this behavior in the first place? Perhaps it was his broken childhood, disturbed and interrupted by bouts of violence and loss? His missing mother, or his alcoholic father? Whatever it was, it's left him lost and without a purpose beyond getting trashed every Friday and Saturday night. Calla Stevenson however seems the exact opposite. The new girl in town with an average nuclear family and a little sister to be a role model for. She's never had the chance to act out, with the only truly obvious thing setting her apart is her taller than average height and her penchant for retro clothing. But then you look closer. The hairline cracks that have spread their way across her family have widened, and with her parents separating she blames herself for their unhappiness. In a new town, they were meant to start anew. But the change of scenery brings with it its own set of anxieties: a new school, new friends and the persistent daily struggle of dyslexia. Murwillumbah seems a sleepy enough town when Calla and her family moves in. But once she meets Tyson everything changes. She learns less about the cocky, guitar playing James Dean Rebel, and more about the gentle soul he is intent on destroying. Ecstasy is a story about opposites, and is told by two narrators. It reminds us that everyone has their own path but we can all walk in each other's shoes. Warning: this story may contain frequent us e of strong language, sexual scenes, and STRONG drug use. NOTE: I did write this many years ago when I was in like middle school or high school and I'm in college now. So there are errors every now and then. I did republish this recently and try to fix some errors every now and then.Complete
WHEN REALITY HITS PERFECT
Katie never imagined something like this could happen to her. She always thought she would live peacefully with her millionaire Dad and twin brother Kyle. Luke somehow turns out not to be Luke as unexpected events occur in her life. Her family gets captured, Dad's company was taken over by an enemy, but not the enemy we expected and she gets to meet people she never even thought off. Adventure. Teenromance. Family wars. Heart breaks. Is what to expect from our story, WHEN REALITY HITS PERFECT. Trust me guys the story is more fun than how it's been put cause I'm not really good at writing these things. ************ "What's wrong?" He asked and I pointed straight ahead where light was pouring in. He still looked at me confused, not getting what I was saying. I sighed before opening my mouth "Run" and as soon as I said that the door was kicked open and we could hear them shouting. "Where are those little trouble makers?" they asked her but she shook her head telling them she had no idea where we were. One growled madly like an angry lion and yelled "You can run away little kiddies but you can't hide forever" and with that we heard gun shots and curses but little did they know, we were already out the door..... This story has a touch of violence and abusive words. Hope you love it. Every character and event happening is just my imaginationse, no copying my storyComplete
The Line Drive
"'Bye.' I say after Edwin's kiss. He gives me a small smile that honestly looks more like a grimace. It makes me a little uncomfortable having him kiss me in the library. Edwin walks away, and someone standing in the corner of my vision makes me turn in my seat. A tall, muscular man is standing there, his arms crossed, staring at me. He's got dark brown hair, perfect eyebrows, and soft brown eyes. Honestly, he's gorgeous. And since I've read, and edited, about five articles about him, I recognize him immediately. Dane Sawyer. He's the best pitcher on our baseball team. He's hoping to go pro, although I'm not totally sure what the process is surrounding that, since I don't retain much of the information from the articles that I read about him. I know that he's also a junior, and that his girlfriend is hot as fuck. I've seen them together on campus. They're hard to miss because they are easily one of the most attractive couples that I've ever seen. I'm convinced that I must be hallucinating, because he makes eye contact and walks towards me. 'That was awkward.'" ~~~ Junior year is starting off chaotic for Mackenzie Brooks as she steps into her role as the editor-in-chief of the college's newspaper. She's smart, focused on school, the paper, and her TA responsibilities. Junior year should be starting off easy for Dane Sawyer. He's the star pitcher of the baseball team; attractive, athletic, desirable, with a hot girlfriend. Unfortunately, he's also failing computer science which is the one thing he sees that is in the way of his pro career. Different in more ways that one, when the two run into each other in the library, it's an immediate disaster. But when Dane convinces Mackenzie to be his tutor, both of their lives begin to change.Complete

Faked
"Are you crazy?! Piss off!" Sam Harrison screams. "You can't turn down an opportunity like this, sweetheart. I know you'd die to be seen with me as your boyfriend. Well, fake boyfriend but no one needs to--" "No uhm id rather not be seen with a conceited douche. But thanks for the offer." "A conceited douche that every single girl in this school adores, yes." Football captain Nate Hadley corrected. "Not every girl." Sam had started walking away but stopped abruptly when Nate spoke. "I know you've been dreaming to study in Hadley University for college. Be mine for a month and you will get what you desire." That statement definitely changed Sam Harrison's life forever by making her decide the craziest decision yet. But it doesn't stop there. #27 ChickLit (11/30/15) **This book was only slightly edited so feel free to pinpoint grammatical errors!**Complete
Deal
"Give me a month," he smirked, "Be my girlfriend for a month, and if I can make you fall in love with me within this month, then well, yeah - but if I can't, I'll stop bugging you about this." "Be your girlfriend for a month? How?" "Don't tell anybody, including your parents; this will be our secret, or else I'll break my promise and annoy you forever," I thought about it. But how would Dylan react to this? What if he hated me for this? Then I would never get a chance with him! I looked at Edward. He had been a caring and nice friend to me, and he had done so much for me; he certainly deserved this chance. And now I thought about it, it did benefit me - if he failed, which I was quite positive about, he would leave me alone and not to nag me about this. So I reached out my hand, "Deal," He shook my hand, smirking, "Deal."Complete
Awkward
- a featured story on wattpad @sport - a featured story on wattpad @generalfiction School has an odd way of making you hate it yet love the people you meet. I hate both. I've been the new boy at my school for nearly five months. Since my family's life of poverty was flipped on its head I've seen my entire world open up; it's like I was living in a cave. This time last year, I was 'too poor to have a Valentine'. This time this year, I just don't have the guts. Seriously, "Valentine's Day is the root of human anxiety." ~ Albert Einstein. (Don't look it up. I'm telling you what 'the government' doesn't want you to know.) But school has an odd way of giving you the perfect friends, a perfect love life and perfectly supporting your dreams to be a pro football player like your older brother. That, or it crushes you. It just crushes you. Your dreams? Crushed. Your friends? Meh. Your love life? Nonexistent (but as soon as it exists, CRUSHED). But we don't know what will happen for sure, right? I'm Roman Turner, but you can call me "the cool man". Gosh, I know I'll cringe at this later. ----------- - a featured story on wattpad @sport - a romance winner at the multi awards - a story told through two points of view • Romance/Sport/Slice of Life | Roman • Prose/Mystery/Psychological | Danielle • BOOK ONE: LIVING. • (EST.) 3390 words/part. • Cover artist - Sage Hieran.
