Autumn Fletcher's life is a mess. Her mother is gone, her father locks himself in his room when he's not at work and refuses to speak to anyone, and no one but her grandmother believes she can amount to anything. When Autumn's family moves to the small town of Bakersfield, she convinces her father and grandmother that it's the perfect time for her to begin attending regular school after being homeschooled all her life. She starts as a freshman at the local high school the day February break ends. Autumn only wants to fit in, make some friends, do well in school, maybe play a sport. There's just one problem. Autumn is blind. But with the help of a few loving and supportive teammates and a track and cross country coach dead set on her success, Autumn finally finds a chance to be a part of something. Maybe she can be more than "the blind girl", more than just another burden for her family. Maybe she can fit in somewhere, find a way to do something meaningful. Maybe she can begin to fit the broken pieces of her life back together.

He Was A Skaterboy | COMPLETE by farahanwrites

If there is someone who you would call Little Miss Perfect, it would be Kiara Moussa. The Pakistani girl with the fair skin, dark hair and eyes who has been voted 'The Sweetheart' two years in a row for the yearbook. With her Bambi like eyes, cheeky laughter, and perpetually sunny disposition, it is easy to believe that she leads a charmed life. She puts on a show of living life as a musical prodigy so effortlessly that no one sees the work she puts in every spare moment that she has or how far she is pushed to achieve perfection. Emre Ersoy had always admired Kiara from afar. Yes, even though he would never admit it out loud, he knew he was crushing on her hard when he picked up the guitar and she smiled her brilliant smile at him. He was 11 and she was 10. He'd wanted to be around her more than he ever let on but they'd both moved into different friend groups and had different interests. It was compliments from her that Emre realised that he really liked music and wanted to pursue it, regardless of what his Turkish parents thought. They are paired together for their History project and all those years of secret looks are not secret anymore. And it finally looks like Emre has a chance to get close to this girl that he'd admired all this time. But he quickly realises that the girl in school isn't really the same person at home as he gets to know her better. They tease, they flirt; but there are those who are unhappy with the two of them get closer. The closer they get, the more difficult things get for them. Will circumstances push them closer together or pull them apart? *Avril Lavigne Ska8er Boi x slow burn teen romance*
