Arabella is a fourteen year old teenager. She has a pretty good life, good friends a good family, and good grades. All she needs is someone to love. People think she's insane for wanting love this young in her life but she's very mature for her age and can tell what's right from wrong in a second.
Ryan is a seventeen year old teenager, almost an adult. He has a close family and a good job at Taco Bell. He's on the swim team and super shy. His friends all tease him for not having a girlfriend and being the lone one in their personal group of friends.
These two meet at the mall when they bump into each other (literally). They immediately felt connected in a way they had felt with no others. He was perfect for her and her, him. The only thing keeping them apart is the age difference. But age is just a number.

His Sunshine | β
She looks up at me, taking a step forward and smiling slightly, "How can I ever get hurt when I have you here to protect me?" "But you could have gotten hurt," I murmur softly, hanging my head and feeling my shoulders drop, the tension seeping from my body. "No. Stop," She cuts me off sternly but tenderly, "Don't talk like that, Reece. I'm okay, you're okay, we're okay," She speaks softly, reaching her hand up to gently brush her thumb over my cheek, just under the cut that's there. "We're okay," I repeat, taking a small step closer to her. She nods with a small smile, moving her hand down from my cheek and instead placing the palm of her hand on my chest, right over my heart. I know she can feel how fast my heart is beating. I just don't know why it's doing that. ~ Reece Carter is the bad boy of Northwood High. He smokes and he fights. He has countless tattoos covering his body. And he doesn't care about anything or anyone else.

Thanks for that one, Reece.Complete
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 languageComplete

Oops, I'm a Teenager Again?
Leila Bowen, 27, is done with adulthood-heartbreak, and the existential dread of it all. She wishes she could just be 17 again-no stress, no drama. Then poof-she wakes up 17. Again. But there's a catch: her 27-year-old mind is stuck in her teenage body, and high school is exactly as awkward as she remembers. Enter Matthew Corbin-ridiculously hot, impossibly familiar, and someone Leila's pretty sure she's never met before. Being 17 again? Yeah, it's not as fun as it sounds-especially when you have the maturity of an adult but the social skills of a 17-year-old. Oops.Complete
