[2022 YOUNG ADULT WATTY WINNER]

Penny Brooks's life is nothing short of perfect; during her reign of being a mean girl at Royal High School, she has it all: a hot boyfriend, the coolest best friend who is the ultimate bully, and a position at the top of the food chain. What could be better? But when Penny and Annie are involved in a tragic accident one night, involving alcohol, stupid decisions, and pressure to remain in the midst of popularity, Penny's world is turned entirely upside down.

 Immediately ostracized from everything she'd worked so hard for, she must keep her head down - even when a mysterious new boy - who captures the attention of everyone, comes into the small town of Port Royal, North Carolina. 

Will Penny find her way back to the top? Or will the hatred of almost everyone who once idolized her, haunt her forever?
                                                                                          ~

❝That's the thing about love. It isn't going to be easy, it isn't going to be smooth, but it's going to be worth it. Because sometimes you have to take the plunge. And you never know if you'll make it out again.❞ Maybe it's the way he looked at her that day in kindergarten or maybe it's the way he was there for her all those years. Whatever it was, somewhere along the way Kaylee fell for Dylan - hard. She soon realizes, however, that feelings can be misinterpreted and fate often doesn't play in her favor. When a rift forms between the two, all hope seems lost and Kaylee is forced to move on. But later, when fate finally decides to twist in her favor, Kaylee is given a second chance to fix their romance. As the two work through resetting their relationship, they soon learn that friendships often don't go as planned, relationships aren't actually that simple, and words are not always easily said. And in the end, everything may just crash and burn. ******************************************* Warning: Read at your own risk! This is my first story on Wattpad (which I wrote when I was 14), so you know what that means - cringe, plot holes, and errors. It's not the most well-written; there are decent chapters and bad chapters. I hope you decide to give this story a chance anyways, though.

Emma can't wait to get to college and leave all of her bitter high school memories behind. Especially the one who broke her heart and made the rest of her high school life hell. She hopes that college will provide her with a fresh start and an opportunity to find love again. As she prepares to move on and start anew, she discovers that the guy she meant to forget is at the same college! Is college going to be like high school all over again? Will she be able to learn from her mistakes and protect her heart this time around? Emma must make a tough decision: allow him to reenter her life with the possibility of breaking her heart again, or take the opportunity to start afresh and find new love. She must decide if staying the same or taking a chance on something new is the right choice for her. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * This story was originally a 1D fanfiction uploaded in wattpad year 2015 with 13 Chapters. Now, I'm editing it, revising some of the names (as well as the scenes and most of the chapters) so it will fall under the category of young adult romance instead of fanfiction. The reason for doing this is for publication purposes in the future. Feel free to imagine the same characters from the original, or think of someone you liked. Louis, Harry, Zayn, Niall, and Liam will always have a special place in my heart. But for inspiration purposes, I now imagine my BTS boys for this story, particularly JK and V!

"Her troubled eyes held fire. The kind of fire that was capable of burning me to ash." ***** I grabbed her chin with my free hand, making her look at me. "I hate that I don't know you. I hate not being a part of your life, like I was before." I leaned a little closer, as her intoxicating scent filled my lungs. "Trust me, I can't hate you, no matter how hard I tried." "So you have... " It came out as more of a question than a statement from her as she looked at me with her big blue eyes. "What?" I frowned, dropping my hand from her chin and grabbing her hand, instead. "You have tried hating me then?" She asked, tilting her head to the side. This time it sounded more like a statement than a question. "I have." I sighed, dropping my head in shame. "And it made me lose the most important person in my life." ***** One night. What harm can one night do? It can change lives. Turn best friends into enemies. Turn someone's life upside down. Emily Waters and Ryder Green, were inseparable, joint to the hip, always had each others back and loved each other behind the best friend facade. But one night changed it all.

Gray's a cocky jerk who seems to get a misguided kick out of making my blood boil. And did I mention the guy's got a chip on his tattooed shoulder even bigger than his inflated ego? Unfortunately, I just found out that I accidentally hired him to work on the BIGGEST campaign of my career!💀 But when Gray's prismatic eyes fill with heartfelt apologies, I don't know how to feel.

I'd recommend you not to judge or come to a conclusion just on the basis of the first book. The story of RAGHAV and SIA ( my protagonists) get a twist in the first, followed by in the second, then in the third book respectively. We're all bad in someone's story ~anonymous Raghav Chaudhari and Sia Mathur, the top two corporate law students of the advanced batch, had fallen in love with their hate right from the first day of Freshman year. But nobody knows the reason behind their unmistakable rivalry. Not even their circle of friends that they reluctantly share. The only thing that stops them from murdering each other is the respect for their profession. Now, the final year's fest and their frustrated friends make them compromise into being "friends till the fest." Accepting the pact forced upon them, they start spending time together, they discover how their families are related and slowly the domino of lies and dirty games starts falling down one by one. But this is only the beginning of their royally fuckedup lives together. IT'S A TWISTED FAIRYTALE! Grab your seatbelts and get ready to set on a journey of how two strangers fell in love with their hate for each other. Initially, this may come off as a typical badboy romance but as you read more of the trilogy, you'll see that there's so much more than what you're thinking at this moment. I wish I could tell you everything that's stored in my books to make you thrilled but I can't because there's literally so much more to tell. So please be patient enough while reading and let's meet at the end of the trilogy. I'm hoping to see you there ;) DO NOT COPY ANY PART OF THE BOOK ❌ STRICTLY PROHIBITED!
