Josie McCall and Timothy Matthews were in love. Until, they weren't.

It's been two years since their breakup, and Tim is a dedicated university student. He's been buried in books and homework since that dreaded day, and he's had little time to focus on his romantic life. With graduation just around the corner, he's worried about his future and what it will hold - or possibly, who. 

Josie is a diehard romantic. Her whole life she's pined for "The One". The one who will make everything okay, the one who can take her flaws and find the beauty in them. And now that she's engaged to Nathan, she's found it - or so, she tells herself. 

One day, Tim and Josie find themselves reconnecting, and as much as they don't want them to, old feelings resurface. 

Told from different times of their lives together, Tim and Josie's journey in and out of love is left with one question:

When it feels like first love stays with you forever, was their breakup a mistake?

I Hate Football Players by still_just_me

Football players are assholes. I know - my brother is their king. Older and annoyingly overprotective, he's the star quarterback at Santa Cruz High School. I love him, but everyone worships the air he breathes and it's suffocating. After a traumatic experience with a quarterback three years ago, I want nothing to do with boys and dating. All that matters is getting into college, so I ace my classes and sign up for my school's student ambassador program to boost my applications. Thankfully, I have my best friend, Harper, to get me through high school being overshadowed by my brother. My plans for a quiet, low-key senior year are destroyed when my brother's cocky, arrogant rival keeps butting into my life. Logan Hightower is a total player who expects me to drool at his feet while he uses me to burn my brother's game. If he thinks I'll fall for his gorgeous looks and shallow charms, he's totally mistaken. He'll never succeed because I hate football players.

Swearing is blatantly rampant and sensitive chapters are marked with the associated trigger warnings. highest rankings: #1 lovestory, youngadult, quarterback, goodgirl, cute, texting, sports, slowburn, series, & California, highschool, teenager, teenfic, series, completed #2 romance This story is complete, edited, and totally revamped in 2023! -me

He Promised Forever And Always {#Wattys2018} by tyragathers

I walk out my dorm building to the cafe. Just as I'm about to open the door I hear a person call out my name. I turn around to see the person jogging towards me. Hey that person kind of looks like Jase. Wait a minute... That is Jase. "Jase?!" I ask. "What the hell is wrong with you? Why would you just leave and not tell anyone?! And do you honestly think I wouldn't follow you?" Jase says. I don't answer I just stand there like an idiot with wide eyes and an open mouth. Shock takes over my body and I begin to feel sick. I left my hometown two days ago and traveled almost 8 states away. But standing right here in front of me is the person that I was running away from. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ #54 in Chicklit **WON WATTIES RETRY AWARDS!!** *****Current Cover by @writersblock924***** *****Previous Cover by @LuminouslySkyler ***** *****Banner made by @writersblock924 :) Go check out @RoyalCourtAwards Graphic Shop to get your own banners and covers!!!***** First published March 27th, 2013

Baby boy ✔️ by alibramoon

"I'm like old enough to be your mum." I say to Jakob not even bothering to hide away how amusing I am finding the idea. "You're only ten months older than me." Jakob shoots back a hint of defence in his tone. Was he offended? "Still." I laugh out. "You could be my baby boy." I smirk sending Jakob a wink. - THIS IS NOT A SEX STORY!!!!! The characters are teenagers! (A/n so the main character starts off as a pretty bad person which is needed because this story is about PERSONALITY GROWTH so if you don't like reading that type of stuff then please don't read this book. It is only for the first 5 chapters and I'm not justifying her actions. She is a b***h) Highest ranking: #2 youngadult #2 teenromance #10 romance Started October 2018 Finished July 2019
