Every Little Thing by khuber2

' "Where are they, Jace? We are going to be late for class." I stated in an irritated tone. Jace just chuckled at me and clapped me on the shoulder. "Chill, they are almost here." I rolled my eyes and unlocked my phone, wanting to collect my rewards on my game. Soon after, I heard the front doors of the school open, and every other male in the hall started to whistle at who I assumed was the girls. I'm sure they were strutting in and probably wearing outfits that couldn't even be classified as clothes. Once the girls stopped in front of us, Amy went directly to Jace. At least, that's what I could tell from my perifrial view of them. I kept my eyes on my phone as Amy introduced the new girl, and once Amy said her name, my head snapped up, the grip I had on my backpack tightening profusely. My eyes instantly landed on hers as she started back at me with those bright hazel eyes. I was instantly confused, shocked, happy, and pissed off all at the same time. There in front of me stood the one person who could always bring me to my knees in seconds, the one person that made my heart beat out of my chest with just one look. In front of me stood her, Lily.'

Finally Free by lulustoriesss

"I need you to be the put together one because I'm so fucked up. You've saved me." He whispers. "Carter, we saved each other." I mutter looking at him through my eyelashes. I lean into him, our lips not even an inch apart. "Sophia we shouldn't..." He looks hesitant. "Please, I need you." I almost started crying. "Please." I mutter one more time, my eyes begging for him. My body needing him. Sophia Carrington. She just moved from New York to California in search of a new life. When her life took a dark turn she's forced to leave everything behind. She just wants to finish her final year of high school, numb to the world, while learning to cope with the trauma she's endured. Carter Marquez.

Wake Up Call by VictoriaAshleyAuthor

A broken girl... Twenty years old and I'd finally had enough. I couldn't take anymore, so I packed up my things and disappeared, leaving behind my drunken, abusive father and the mother that stood by and watched as I slowly died. I knew I was going, but not where I'd stop. The last thing I expected once on my own, was to be spending my nights stripping at a club in Florida, barely getting by. I should have known running from a past wouldn't make it stop haunting me, because misery will always find me and tear me down until there's nothing left of me. It always has... Things can always change though, right? Like looking up at a handsome, tattooed stranger, and with one stare he has me questioning everything I've ever believed in. I wasn't expecting or prepared for someone to storm into my life. Not him. Jace Montgomery. The name I'll never forget. The need to save me lies in his eyes, but I don't need a savior. Trust- what he wants to teach me. That I'm something more than what I've grown up believing and that I'm worth loving. Those are the things he wants me to believe. How am I supposed to let him in and show me I'm something when I've spent my entire life being... nothing? He won't give up, and honestly, I'm hoping he never does... Because maybe... just maybe... I am worth saving after all.

Emotionless Control ✔ by Trashypsycho

"Someone didn't get a kiss from his mommy today, huh?" I mock Jace with a smirk, my fists ready to punch. "You really have a death wish, don't you?" He asks me amused. "Yea, help me out a little?" I challenge him, he already thinks that i'm joking until he notices my dead serious face. His eyes twist into surprise, confusion and something i can't decipher. Let the fight begin. ___ My name is Bellatrix Williams. I'll make my life description as short as possible. I'm probably a mixture from psychopath and a sociopath, i haven't been to the rapist recently, sorry to the Therapist recently so i don't exactly know. I'm also a part from a streetfighting community but in school i'm a nerd so my past wouldn't find me or i'm a dead woman, literally. I have a lot of secrets, too many. My secrets are safe until i mess up, the alternative is my death, again. It's a game for my life. Will i survive? *contains inappropriate language

Love In All Sizes by niccibabies6

One of the main characters of this story isn't your average pretty, size zero, micro mini type of girls. Let me introduce Ava Jacobson. Now don't get me wrong, Ava is a beautiful girl in her own right. She is 17 years old, has brown hair just past her shoulders with caramel highlights, beautiful bright blue eyes, and a size 12 waist that she is not ashamed of. Ava has real curves; she has boobs, she has a butt, she has hips, and she loves herself. She is a smart girl who gets straight A's, and has friends that she considers as close as blood. And since the very first day of her freshman year at Alexandria High School she has had a crush on Jace Michaels. Jace is your typical all American kind of guy. He is the star football player, super popular, and oh yeah gorgeous! He has brown hair with emerald green eyes, and a body to die for. And if that wasn't enough he is a super nice guy. Not the brightest of the bunch, but he can get by with a little help. And this is where our story will begin my wonderful readers...

OCEAN by BettieBurton

Meadow keeps to herself and tries hard not to draw any attention to herself. No guy likes her and she has no friends. She feels that the only thing left to do is to end her life.....Then she meets the 'badboy' of the school, Ryker. Ryker is also a Senior in high school and everybody knows him as the 'badboy' which he was named from the many rumors througout the years that were told about him. He doesn't care what others think and plans to leave town after graduation. He has a small group of friends of school but they are ones he can trust. He doesn't care about popularity and thinks it's amusing more than ever to see the girls want him. He tries to mind his own business and isn't interested in getting too attached and involved with anyone. So he just messes around. That is, until he meets the new girl who immediately draws his attention and makes him instantly intrigued. It's hard for him to trust anyone other than his close friends and she doesn't trust anybody, including guys. Can they help each other out? Can he help save her from herself? Okay, sorry for the crappy description but for now it will have to do and I hope you all give this story a chance. It is personal to me and in the Introduction before chapter one, I will explain why it is. I hope you guys like this it is beautiful. © Copyright 2019 All Rights Reserved

You Are The Reason by Kalicy101

*"Move, weirdo." She glanced at him and sighed. "Feel free to move if you want to, there's so much room." He raised his eyebrows in surprise. Firstly because she dared stand up to him, nobody did that. Everyone, except his friends and family, feared and respected him. Secondly because this was the school weirdo, who rarely interacted or talked to anyone. "You sure I'm the person you wanna mess with?" She shocked him again by responding. "I got bigger problems that pissing off the school's biggest bully." She spoke calmly. Like, it showed that she was not scared of him. She actually looked... bored. "Yeah, like what?" he asked, willing to know what could possibly be worse than pissing him off, and insulting him on top of that. She looked at him, like really looked into his eyes, and he was taken aback by the pain reflected in her eyes. "Piss off." she said and walked away. He was internally grateful that there was no one else in the hallway, because he had no intentions of following that girl.* Callie Wild was the school weirdo. The girl who kept to herself, had no friends, spoke to no one and stayed out of trouble. People knew she liked to wear bottlenecks and long sleeves,nobody ever wondered why. Nobody ever thought she could be hiding something. But she was carrying so many secrets, hiding them from even her own family. Jace Sherman was the typical high school badboy; handsome, rude, player, well built. All that. He's always looking for trouble with his friends, and they always find it. This time, he isn't looking for trouble, he's looking for answers. Answers to things that didn't concern him. Like why that weird shy girl was the way she was. And what was she hiding???
