' Maybe it was the attraction I was starting to feel for Jack, the comfort I felt in that house or simply the desire to let the truth out, knowing he had seen right through my failed attempt to dodge his question. I decided to tell him, in a few words, how exactly was my family.
"Some of them are lovely. Some of them are selfish and prefer to pretend I don't exist until I'm right in front of them. Some of them talk behind my back and appear before me with a smile in their faces, unaware I know what they truly think of me. It's kind of like having friends, right? Either way, they're all far away from me except for my mom. She's one of the lovely people, though, so it's fine."'
Annastasia is a 17-year-old girl who's one year away from graduating high school, lucky enough to meet her favorite writer's son, Jack Miller.
Lydia is her 47-year-old mom, divorced, who finds herself being charmed by a handsome stranger.
Anyone who sees them walking down the street or going out for breakfast on a Sunday morning might think they're the typical mature mother and foolish young adult daughter, but "typical" is the one word that doesn't fit into their description.
Why do we assume people's personalities based on their age, anyway?
What will happen when Anna meets Jack?
And who's that charming man who's flirting with her mom?!

The Comeback
*past* "Just leave Mary Grace." Teddy says to me with a blank stare, but I could see sadness built around them. "But Teddy, why-" I begin to say as a tear falls down my cheek. "No one wants you here loser. Ted never liked you. He just felt sorry for you." Savannah Oak says beside Teddy. I look to Teddy knowing that he'll stick up for me like he always does, but he is just staring at the floor. "Is that true?" I ask looking at him. He looks up and nods. "Dont you have a flight to catch?" Paige asks with a smirk. Tears Fall down my face, Savannah rolls her eyes and walks away. "Goodbye Mary Grace." Teddy says closing the door. I slowly turn around and hop back on my bike. How could he do this to me? We've been friends since we were little. He turned out to be just like the rest of them. He never did like me. I ride my bike home sobbing. "Mary Grace what happened?" My sister Anna Maria says running over to me. As I push my bike onto the driveway. "I never want to comeback here again!" I cry into her shoulder. *** Summary will be the first chapter! Hope you enjoy, first Teen Fiction Story. :) Btw. This is my story I made it up with my mere imagination, so don't steal thanks.

My Teddy
The corner of his mouth tilts upward slightly. I smile again. A smile!? A tiny one, but still. "Hm. So I got you to smile, that's progress, yeah? Can I get your name now?" I ask, swinging my feel a little. He shakes his head shyly, his mouth not moving at all. Geez! Why do I want to hear this dude talk so much? "Okay, that's fine. I can give you a nickname." I offer happily. He looks up from his book, raising his eyebrows. I just stare for a moment. He has nice eyes. Pretty brown chocolate orbs. They remind me so much of....... "Teddy." He shakes his head immediately, frowning. "What, why not? You remind me of my old teddy bear. He was a good listener and he didn't talk much..... just like you." I say softly, tilting my head. He continues to shake his head. I fold my arms, leaning back in my seat. "Yeah, it's definitely sticking. Teddy.....It has a nice ring to it, yeah?" He sighs, the first sound I have ever heard him make. "No." . . . *Jordan* Teddy!? Seriously!? She gave me a fucking NICKNAME!? What the hell does this girl want!? I stuff my hands into my pockets, walking down the busy street. Forget about her. She's just a annoying pretty girl, she'll go away. Everybody does. She HAS to go away. *Spoiler alert*: she doesn't. Don't get close to people or they'll end up getting hurt. That's my mindset. I've been through enough of that. This girl doesn't belong in my world anyway. She's too innocent. *Mature content* {Just a quick update, I am basically rewriting the story. I wrote it when I was in 8th grade and it makes me cringe every time I try to go back and edit it so keep in mind that it'll get better}Concluida
back & better | BEING EDITED
Annalise Starke had known her mother was going to die eventually; she just hadn't expected it to happen so soon. At fifteen she had moved with her mother back to her home country of Australia with half a heart (metaphorically, of course) and her mother's terminal cancer diagnosis. There, she struggled with the ambiguous loss of mourning someone who was still breathing. But nothing could've prepared her for the real thing. Six months before her projected "death date" Annalise came home to find her mother bloodied and 𝘤𝘰𝘭𝘥, and in the blink of an eye, she went from 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘨𝘪𝘳𝘭 𝘸𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘮 𝘩𝘢𝘥 𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘳 to 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘨𝘪𝘳𝘭 𝘸𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘮 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘮𝘶𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥. 𓇼 Once the police finished investigating, and with no answers to show for it, Annalise follows her mother's dying wish for her to return to the states and reunite with her father and twin brother for her final year of school. She grasps at the strings of her mental health and social life (because as much as she wants it to stop, life moves on, time passes, and her with it) as she navigates the halls of a place that's no longer familiar and struggles to fit back into the mold of the girl she once was. Balance is key, and with her long-time childhood best friend, Sylvie Sorren, by her side, Annalise only has to deal with 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦 of the pain in silence-because one minute she's fine and the next she's taking deep breaths in the janitor's closet and wishing death upon her mother's killer an ocean away-as she takes up a new title, becoming the "new girl" all over again. Slowly, her sense of normalcy returns bit by bit. Once again, she cares about the latest trends, loves sports, and she can keep a meal down. Things are looking up...until she gets a strange call from a man claiming to be her mother's killer, and apparently, he doesn't like loose ends.Concluida
Period!
"I... Am here to see you.", I told him as I placed my hands around his neck. I could feel my heart beat getting faster but I had to keep it strong if I had to survive this scenario. "What?", Brandon asked completely startled. I leaned in more closer to him. The only good thing in this entire scene was that he wasn't pushing me back due to my creepy behaviour. "Oh... Bran, I was missing you so much, I just... I needed to see you.", I said as I came up with lie. "Are you drunk?", Brandon asked as he leaned in closer trying to smell my mouth. Thank God Fel had given me her mint gum only moments before I went commando and came inside the locker room. "What?", I scoffed still standing extremely close to Brandon. "I just.... I was missing your gorgeous face.", I told another lie. But wait? His face is gorgeous so that isn't a lie. And was I not missing seeing him? I noticed Brandon who just had his eyes popped out of his socket with bewilderment at my words. I decided to peck him on the cheek before I storm out of the locker room. I leaned ahead to peck Brandon who moved his face in my direction and instead of his cheeks, our lips crashed. Brushing against each other, our lips touched. I could feel fireworks exploding inside my entire body. With my neurological system not responding anymore. ******* Depicting the hostility and vulnerability of a young woman to a society the story centers around a normal sophomore, Amy Cole, who had a normal life. Well way too normal for her situation. Amy's life was all good until one day, when her friends dumped her and blamed her for something she never even did. Her life takes a complete turn as her childhood crush, Brandon Mayhew, the Mayor's son, who once broke her heart, rushes back into her life through a series of events. With new friends, shifting thoughts, confused feelings and fighting anxiety and standing for the right thing. Amy makes her way to the top. Only to get at the top of everyone's hate list.Concluida
The Impossibilities of Us
"What are these feelings you're talking about?!" he questions still yelling. "That I fucking like you, Daniella Jamie Grey!" I yell. "And I fucking like you too, Arabella May Jhonson!" he yells back. And the next thing I know is that we're no longer yelling. I hadn't even noticed that we went closer and closer to each other until I felt his breath on my lips and his nose nuzzling against mine as he bent to my level, his body towering over mine. I pull him to me and smash my lips onto his and it barely took a second for him to respond to it. ~~~~~ Arabella Jhonson and Daniel Grey unite. How they met each other, you may ask? They met each other because Arabella's cousin and Daniel's father are dating. There's definitely a spark when they met and the spark began to grow as they hung out with each other day by day, especially since they'll be living under the same roof for a little more than three weeks. Oh and not to mention that Daniel lives in Australia, away from Arabella, and he's only come to visit. But that's when the impossibilities come in to play. For one, aren't they technically going to be related if her cousin and Daniel's dad get married? And not only for that reason, but many other reasons that will be revealed as the story progresses. This'll be a story about two teens who go through struggles and a romance between them that seems more than likely to be impossible. Not only do other people get in the way of this romance, but their minds as well. Their minds that remind them why they can't work. And their minds that have their own fears. But can their romance find a way through it all? Or will it all just fall apart? Warning: Contains strong languageConcluida
The Abandoned Lovers
"Tell me. Why won't you tell me?" He asks and I look towards him slowly, "You didn't even talk to me until yesterday! I'm trying to make it so nobody notices me, Kingston. I don't need this." I say and he slowly turns my face towards him, closing my locker and pinning me up against it. "What if I need you?" He asks and I roll my eyes. "Nice one, Hamlet." I say, walking away from him. One of the perks of being short, easily get away from tall people. ❤︎ IF YOU WANT A BETTER BOOK W A SIMILAR VIBE: check out My Evangeline on my page! wayyy better written (I was prob 12 when I wrote this) and a good story! ❤︎ Kingston Brag is the blonde haired popular guy with baby blue eyes, he's the guy every girl wanted.

Her Safe Haven
"For him, she was adrenaline." . . . Winter McHalen seemed to have everything: parents who owned a multi-billion dollar company, two handsome brothers who just happened to get the loving-brothers genes, and a ridiculously beautiful look. One summer afternoon, however, a six-year-old Winter was kidnapped by her father's former rival and was traumatised into being mute. Ten years later, the current sixteen-year-old Winter still struggled to come to terms with her dark past. When she crossed path with the mysterious Rohan Garrison: heir to neighbouring international corporation, student council president, and a perfect gentleman who seemed to be harbouring much more secrets behind his stoic facade; the two kept finding themselves tumbling into each other's lives - with or without their own wills. He was aloof yet affable, she was bold yet reserved; he was neither a protector nor predator, she was neither a badass nor damsel-in-distress; but they were two qualities - both coexisting at the same time and were unpredictable variables in each other's lives. And they both didn't know whether to like or despise it. Watch Winter as she journeyed into adulthood and tried to get back the voice which she lost. With both existing as naturally opposing forces, could Rohan - with the help of her family, friends, and possibly other love interests - save Winter from her past, or will she be trapped forever in her affliction? {Highest: #1 in Young Adult #1 in General Fiction #5 in New Adult #226 in Teen Fiction 28/12/2019} *images used are not mineConcluida
