Despite having the most unfortunate nickname Lincoln High has ever seen, Gum McFadden is perfectly happy being a self-proclaimed art geek.
Or, at least, she was.
That was before arrogant, frustratingly cliche Miles Walker, one of the most popular guys in school, ruined the art show with half a dozen cans of spray paint. As his punishment, Miles has to join the Lincoln High Artist's Guild or face repeating junior year- or even expulsion.
Gum immediately hates Miles, and Miles immediately hates Art Club and its members. Can the two extremes- art geek and football star- make it through the semester without ripping each other's throats out... or falling for each other?
***It starts out pretty cliche, but don't worry, it'll get better!***

Odd One Out
Oddball Mabel has always been quirky. Maybe it's due to the fact that she was homeschooled or perhaps it was because of her parents who sheltered her a little too much from the world.

She had everything she could wish for a set of supportive parents, an annoying but lovable older brother, and two amazing best friends, but her life would have been so much better if not for her.

Being the daughter of a self-made businesswoman and a famous pianist, she knew she was destined for greatness, but in sophomore year when she was publicly dumped by her boyfriend for her sister, she felt her friends and life slipping away.

High School Survival Theory
Life is hard. Specially when you're a high schooler. You can never know when your life is about to go up. And you 'especially' can never know when it's about to go down. But you can always take some precautions to avoid outcome of the hit. At least that's what I thought before the great 'Ashton Fellan' (pardon the sarcasm) interposed himself in my life. ... "We don't have the prettiest history. We didn't exactly like each other when we first met. You're my rival's girlfriend. We weren't interested in becoming friends with each other. But now in this difficult time, we're befriending. You'll help me to find the person who leaked that photo and prove to the coach that the article was not a self-promo to challenge his ideology." "What's in this for me?" "I won't report on you for invading my privacy. Trust me when I say my dad knows people." I roll my eyes. Never get mixed up with people with money. But maybe a little help won't be so bad after all. So I take his hand and shake it. "Okay, we have a deal." He smiles. "Now let's drink to celebrate." And I already have a bad feeling about this. *cover picture collected from Pinterest* © 2020 SHEONACC001 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.Complete
Coach's Daughter
Best Ranking: #5 in Teen Fiction - Preview- "Do you actually care?" he questioned, raising an eyebrow tauntingly. I grinned, trying to emulate his easy humor.

I'm sure everyone will love to read all about dashing Luke's college troubles on my gossip blog. Since I'm a little kid, you wouldn't expect me to take this conversation seriously, now, would you?" Luke reached over and tickled me, laughing. "You're a brat, you know that?" I stuck my tongue out at him, pushing him away. "You know you love it. Besides, it worked.

For As Long As It Takes (boyxboy) (Editing)
How cliche can you be to fall for your best friend? How cliche can you be to fall for your best friend, who's a guy, when you are also a guy?Logan Reese Buchanan is one of the three captains of an undefeated lacrosse team in California. His lifelong best friend Tony, is also a captain, and also the guy he's head of cleats for. When Logan comes out to his teammates after practice, Tony, is angry and feels betrayed. But Tony accepts Logan because after all it's is his best friend and he realizes nothing can change that. But what happens when Tony starts to actually get the hots for Logan? Something completely cliche of course... WARNING AND NOTES: I wrote this a very long time ago. I know the dialogue in the beginning of the novel is hard to get through. If you continue to read through you can see how my writing has changed. I plan on editing this later on during my college summer break. Secondly. I am not my characters, especially the ignorant side-characters. The comments of the characters show the ignorance of THE CHARACTERS, not of me. LGBTQ people often must deal with uneducated ignorant people. I in no way shape or form agree with homophobic or transphobic slurs and comments. I am an educated leader and friend to those in my life who need it. Thank you :)Complete
