Peter Boynton is turning 16. But his neglectful mother can only muster a "Happy Birthday" as he leaves for school, and his abusive father is sleeping another drunk off. There will be no presents or party for him. Plus, he's the new kid in town, and he hasn't made any friends to celebrate with.

After school, he stops at the Northville Five and Dime to buy a candy bar for his only present. While there, he sees a Yankees t-shirt and tries to steal it. Lily Madison, the store's clerk, catches him. She offers him a deal -- take Lily's sister, Sophie, to the end-of-year dance and she won't report him, and will let him keep the shirt. 

Peter reluctantly accepts the deal, setting off a chain of events that will change the lives of Peter, Lily and Sophie, as they form a social family of support for each other.All Rights Reserved

His Baby by AlexandriaRoseWalker

A/N - There are many spelling and grammar mistakes - I apologise, also this was written when I was a teen so this story is so beyond reality. Thanks.

After a tragic life in England they up and move to sunny California where she meets the bad boy at a party when a guy tried to force himself on her he saves her, keeping her safe in a room they play games all night then things get heated. Rose unknowingly meets the family of the guy she slept with. Rose is in for one hell of an adventure and also gets more than she bargained for in the end. Comments - "I have to say this is a sweet romance that brings the wonders of being a new mom (dad) in to it, Its a romance that id read again (I've already read it a couple of times XD) I love how she (rose) is not like everyone else I've read. Its refreshing, I mean she's strong, hard-headed (at times) And witty. Its funny reading about how she boss's everyone around (in a good way of course) the Adventures. The tell of a girl turning in to the women she is to day. Its breath taking, I'm gonna stop now before I say to much, But its a good book that can make you laugh just as fast as it can make you cry.... Ok for real I'm stopping (lol) But its a wonderful read" - arrow1616 #5 in Teen Fiction out of 243k Stories - 03 Oct 2020 #3 in Teen Fiction out of 254k Stories - 25 Apr 2022 © This book is of my own creation and I reserve all rights to it.

Good Boy, Bad Girl by IoonaIuvr

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.
