High school is hard. Especially when you're 143 pounds like Meg Keller and your family and friends never let you forget about that. 

Struggling with depression and suicidal thoughts, Meg's only salvation is her online friend whom she never met in person. Knowing somewhere out there there is someone who had it worse than she makes it just a little easier to get through her own miserable life. 

But everything will soon change when Meg becomes involved with her school star quarterback in an unexpected accident. She risks her life to save him and he'll never forget about that. 

Her once worst bully will turn her life upside down, taking her out from her shell, introducing her to things she never thought she could ever have.

I'm Not Crazy by DarrenDean1

We are not the broken clichés you want us to be anymore. We have transcended beyond the "Good Girl ~ Bad Boy" boxes they tried to put us in. We are so far beyond all that now, that we are finally free of all those stereotypes. The story of us is not the usual cliche "good girl" meets "bad boy" that instantly fall in love. Oh, and after a few almost funny mishaps everything works out perfectly story. Or the other one where the brooding bad boy with a tragic past gets a second chance to become a happy, well-adjusted person again. All thanks to the love of an awesomely perfect popularity princess with a pure heart of gold. Who sees "something special" inside him, that no one else can see ...and sets him on a straight path. All that once in a lifetime fairy dust love, that only exists for perfect pretty popularity princesses in the happily ever after. No, this is the other kind of love story ...the messy kind, that messes peoples lives up irrevocably, for all time. The real kind of love story, that comes hand in hand with hopes and fears, and all that real hurt that burns at your heart. So while our Crazy love might not be as bright and shiny as that fairy dust love is ...our love will kick your loves ass any day of the week, and twice on Sunday. Because our love knows the secret truth about itself. That it's not about how perfectly you fall in love, it's how you get the back up after love kicks your ass sideways, and you come back looking for more. Because our love is that Crazy kind of love, that is so forever you have to fight for it 'till the bitter end ...or die trying. The kind of love that comes with beer, pizza, football and a hell of a lot of laughs ...but mostly at everyone else's expense. ~First Place Chicklit - 2017 Blue Rose Award~ ~ Second Place for Teen Fiction - The Star Blazer Awards 2018~ ~ Honorable Mention for Best Plot - 2017 Royalty Awards ~

THE WEIGHT GAME EDITED VERSION by CrystaloKolsto

This is the edited version of my book The Weight Game that I wrote when I was 13-15. Aubrey has always been the ultimate target for bullies at her school. All she wants is to be good enough for once in her life. What happens when she goes online and finds a website called 'the weight game' where it teaches people quick ways to shed weight? and she takes the tips that tell her to fast, and purge? Never put someone down, because it will never help you reach the top. And never call a person fat, because you never know what they will do in order to prove you wrong.

Because of Haven Beach by GemmaMari10

"The moon's really beautiful, if you think about it," I blurted. "Yeah?" he asked, mild amusement and curiosity mingling in his voice. "Yeah," I confirmed. "It's just- there's something about the moon that's ethereal. I don't really know how to describe it, but it's a constant in life. You can't always see it, but you have to trust that it's out there somewhere. And when you can see it, it's all bright and shiny and overcomes the darkness." I paused, searching for the right words. "I don't know. I guess it's a reminder that there are good things out there, even if you can't see them... And it's cool to think that someone hundreds of miles away is staring at the exact same moon as you. It makes me feel not so alone in life." Turning my head, I saw him staring at me intently with a thoughtful look on his face. "Too deep for a Friday night?" I laughed nervously, feeling my face grow hot. And this was precisely why I didn't go to parties. He shook his head and seemed to snap out of his daze. "It was deep in a good way." *** SHE was quiet & left out.

Umbrella [COMPLETED] by SophiaMission

"Love is a decision, it is a judgment, it is a promise. If love were only a feeling, there would be no basis for the promise to love each other forever. A feeling comes and it may go. How can I judge that it will stay forever, when my act does not involve judgment and decision." ― Erich Fromm, The Art of Loving Can you handle a situation where you fall inlove with a geek and then suddenly, a popular guy falls head over heels for you but you don't feel the same way? Then what if your own bestfriend falls inlove with the man you love? Will you let go of him for your bestfriend? Or fight for what you feel? Will you change your old ways for one person? Or will you let go of that person just for the reason that you don't want to change? Love has its ways of manipulating people. It's your decision wether you get manipulated or not.

She enters as a scholar and meets a geek boy named Dylan Wilson who is unexpectedly handsome and innocent. Meet Michael Collins, captain of the football team who starts to feel something "weird"(in his dictionary) for Catherine. This is a story about a girl who has to weigh love between friendship, and boy between family.

For My Own Good by tilly_turman

-------------------- I gasp for air, twisting in his hold. My heart beats in my chest, between my legs. Urging to get off. But Henry pulls away from me, carefully studying my face. "You look so pretty, all worked up because of me." I feel heat flushing through me, making my hips twitch again. -------------------- For My Own Good Olivia Kent has always been good at running - from her broken home, suffocating memories, and emotions too raw to face. She keeps everyone at a careful distance, hiding the full extent of her pain - even from her best friend Carla. But when Olivia catches golden boy Charlie Bell in a vulnerable moment, it pulls her into an unfamiliar circle of friends who begin to break through her defenses. Then there's Henry, with his piercing grey eyes that see far more than Olivia wants to reveal. She feels immediately and undeniably drawn to him, but opening her heart only makes her realize how tightly she's trapped by the past she's been running from. As her world unravels, Olivia is faced with a difficult decision: stay trapped by fear and guilt, or risk everything for a chance at something better. Sometimes, love isn't enough to save you. Sometimes, it's up to you to find the strength to save yourself. For your own good.
