Taylor Addams is the high school's "goodie-goodie." She gets straight A's, stays away from alcohol and drugs, never skips or ditches, and plans to go to Harvard after graduation. Her dad even went there when he was younger, so it's a must for her to get in. It's a must for her to dress like a prep and look socially acceptable. Taylor isn't the school's most popular girl; even if she's got the brains and even the beauty, she still doesn't fit in.
Alex Stinger doesn't hold the spot for being in the Jock/Pep clique in school. In fact, his friends are the "social outcasts," the "undesired" of the school. They are treated like gang members even if they aren't technically considered a gang. He's got all of the badass girls crawling at his feet, kissing the floor he walks on.
But, when Alex is told he's failing out of high school, the school principal introduces the "Buddy System." Taylor is sent out to tudor him and bring him back on track academically and socially, which might be the worst idea ever known to man. This idea is the reason these two may reach expectations, or crumble to the ground. Two opposite people with perhaps so much in common. What happens when the two start to feel something realistic in the plastic world they call High School?

Good Boy, Bad Girl
Even without the pressure from his parents, Robert Jameson (although he prefers to be known as Bobby) is beyond clever. The problem is, brains don't earn you friends. And when you're surrounded by boys who care about the things you know nothing about and girls who wouldn't be seen dead with someone so uncool, you tend to spend a lot of time either alone or being bullied. Angel Reeds is the worst behaved student in the school. Constantly getting into fights, talking back to teachers and not doing homework, she's far from being aptly named. But when you've got brains like Bobby has, you notice things. And he's noticed things about Angel. She never smokes. She never drinks. She never does drugs. And every other typical bad boy or girl in their school is obsessed with them. And she tries in school other than with homework - she and Bobby are both in the top class of their year. So Bobby can't help but think there's more to her. Well, when Angel rescues him from a bully and declares herself his personal bodyguard (for some strange reason) Bobby figures this is his chance to find out.Complete

The Next Alpha King (No longer updating 2021)
Grace Faith is nobody. The only person she talks to is her best friend Lily and sometimes even this one guy named Dean. Her brother had mainly derived all the high school's attention on himself and nobody ever pays attention to her. She's a very weak she-wolf and lacks the confidence in everything she does. Ryder Devereux was the complete opposite. He's the typical bad-boy you see in high school and is also the next alpha king. His father sent him off from school to school to find his mate, but Ryder only took that opportunity to get into even more drugs and girl's pants. They were both different but both very similar as well. They both have their own insecurities and they push everybody away. So what would happen when fate puts these two very different wolves together? Would they forget their differences and learn to love each other? Would they speak up and fight through their struggle together? Or would everything fall apart because of Grace's lack of confidence and Ryder's past?Complete
