An outline of smoke, with the ashes on the ground as the only telltale sign that we actually had something." ~~~~~~~~~~ « further description inside » #2 IN YOUNG ADULT (2/20/20) #6 IN #SUMMER (4/8/19) #93 IN TEEN FICTION (3/25/18) #97 IN TEEN FICTION (3/22/18) #263 IN TEEN FICTION (3/6/18) #647 IN TEEN FICTION (2/23/18) #674 IN TEEN FICTION (2/20/18) #853 IN TEEN FICTION (2/18/18) (An Ex-Featured Wattpad Pick)Complete

Chasing the New Girl - (Complete)
Jolie Watson was used to being invisible at her huge high school in New York City, but when her parents split up and her Mom moved them back to her tiny hometown in Illinois, she immediately caught the attention of all the guys in school. The fact that she was from New York City had everyone intrigued, because none of them had ever even met somebody from New York before. They were all curious about the new girl and they seemed to already know everything about her. Gossip spread really fast in that little town. When she accidentally let it slip to a friend that she was a virgin, the news spread around the school like wildfire and someone had the bright idea to create a website taking bets on which of the school's hottest guys would be the first to take her virginity. The three frontrunners were Austin Fox, her overachieving next door neighbor that was the cocky, arrogant quarterback of the football team but also happened to be top in their class and the Class President. The second one was Blaze McDaniels, the sexy, notorious bad boy that didn't believe in following rules and did whatever he had to do to survive. His scowl seemed intimidating at first but she soon found out there was a lot more to him than meets the eye. The third was Ryan Gentry, the rich country-club boy that always got what he wanted. After trying and failing to get the website shutdown, Jolie decided that she would just ignore it, but it was hard to know who to trust, who genuinely liked her and who was just in it to win the money. She was bound and determined that no one would win and she would stay a virgin until graduation, but would she be able to resist the temptation of these three guys? **** Very mature themes & sexual content - 18+ only!

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
