Harper Laurel is probably a name that you'd hear at school for being Lakeside Private's star swimmer and future valedictorian candidate or maybe you'd hear her name on the local Los Angeles newspaper as she appears at her parents' business gatherings.
Her parents, Robert and Marcie Laurel founded the famous Laurel Laptop, LLPT for short. In a way, this 17-year-old is famous.
Unfortunately, her family has secrets and revealed secrets can go two ways: They either make or break you.
So maybe she put herself into this when she met the people that changed her life forever.
Maybe change is good, it could make her the once happy person she used to be prior to her regretful encounters with past elementary school bullies.
As a lost soul, this is Harper Laurel’s Life More Than Just A Nerd.
(the first couple chapters of this book is what I call a poor excuse of writing)

She stood from her place and ambled towards me, making my eyes go round. Why the hell is she coming towards me?! Stopping in front of me, she bent her beautiful face and peeked at me through her eyelashes. "Can I kiss you... Griffin?" She asked, blinking her gorgeous blue eyes. Holy Cow! She expects me to answer that?! My throat suddenly felt dry, and no word come out of my mouth. From the corner of my eye, I saw Will glaring at her while others snickered.

She spends half of her year hiding from the rich kids at her school to prevent any trouble.

"And if I hear even a single word uttering from your mouth about us..." He gestured between him and Toby. "I will-" "- Kill you." I finished for him and give him a thumbs up. "Got it."

Harper Aspen was majoring in journalism/creative writing in the Big Apple at New York University. However, she was struggling financially and the situation doesn't get much better when she spills coffee on a millionaire, Connor Humphrey's, business suit. Rather than just accepting her apology, he gives her two options. She can pay him $15,000 or she can become his three year old daughter's nanny for at least four months. But, one of the requirements of being a nanny is staying at the house with the child full time. Despite Harper being a college student, she told Connor that she was not in order to not have to pay the $15,000 and get out of paying her apartments high rent fee. Leaving a three year old at home by herself is the last thing Harper wants to do, but when worst comes to worst she is running out of options. Not to mention Connor is making Harper completely fall head over heels in love. But what happens after multiple tragedies strike and many secrets are revealed, will the pair still be in love?

Not His
Haley Parker wanted nothing to do with guys - at least none of the guys her parents were always trying to set her up with. She was tired of the whole charade - the countless schemes, moving all the time, saying goodbye to friends and life as she and her brother Dustin knew it - everything. It's no wonder she's not expecting much as she's moving yet again to a new place in Boston. However, turning 18 and independent in under a year, Haley's parents are running out of time to get her engaged (more like betrothed) to a guy of their approval. Not ready to give up yet, they hatch a plan to get her married to the seemingly perfect James Kacey who lives a few houses down. Meanwhile, Haley is only making enemies for her hit list at her new high school - Griffin Johnson, typical arrogant bad boy who wanted the whole school to love him, easily scoring #1 on that list. But as much as these two claimed to hate each other, would they be able to put aside their differences and actually become friends? More importantly, will Griffin be able to save Haley from her most unwilling betrothal to James? A short story. [Editing. I eventually plan to publish a more fleshed out version of this story, along with fixing a few mistakes I made.]Complete
