When all her four relationships ended with her boyfriends breaking up with her, Ellie Stevens began wondering what was wrong. Was there something she wasn't doing right or was she just cursed?

Yet with an anonymous person sending her rose flowers and sweet notes, she had to reconsider her thoughts. It seemed this person knew so much about her and Ellie was determined to find out who this special person was.

Painted in Love by Harmony5891

Sariah's first year at Clark University is supposed to be about new beginnings, independence, and finding her path. But as she steps into the unknown, she finds herself caught between the expectations of who she *should* be and the person she's beginning to uncover beneath the surface. Her journey of self-discovery takes an unexpected turn when she meets Mercedes, her eclectic, Afrocentric, crystal-loving roommate who introduces Sariah to a side of her culture she's never fully explored. Mercedes' unapologetic embrace of her black roots and spiritual practices forces Sariah to confront the parts of her identity she's kept hidden or ignored, opening her eyes to a deeper connection to her culture. At the same time, Sariah finds herself paired with Drew, a mysterious and artistic classmate, for a challenging art project. Initially, Drew seems like just another classmate-but as their collaboration deepens, Sariah begins to see him in a different light. With Drew, she finds herself questioning more than just her art; she begins to wonder if she's ready to open her heart and take a leap into something more than just a creative partnership. Sariah navigates the messy, beautiful, and transformative process of learning who she really is, embracing her culture, and discovering that sometimes, the path to self-awareness is more about the people we meet than the answers we seek. A tale of friendship, love, and self-empowerment, this coming-of-age story is a celebration of what it means to find your roots while forging your own identity.

Behind The Reasons by AshleyWillows9

"What are you doing in my house?" A familiar voice pierced through my ears and my heart ran wild. "Alec..." It felt as though the words were stuck into my throat and I could not get them out. "You have been stalking me since a whole good month." His dark eyes were already filled with rage as his nose flared and his lips were already dried. "And now you broke into my house." "Alec, please listen. I will explain you everything, I promise." My vision was getting blurred due to the unwanted hot fluid into my eyes. "What do you want to know? How long are you going to suspect for nothing? Do you even know what you are getting yourself into?" Without waiting for another moment, I ran out of his house, leaving him in absolute darkness. ____________________________________ Ashley Willows moves to Washington to find the reasons behind the disappearance of her missing best friend, Bella. She tries everything she possibly could to find her. What happens when she joins the same school her friend attended and meets the people who are the reasons behind her disappearance?

****A Wattpad Featured Novel**** • • • (Book one) Many of us, have read lots of books and watched lots of movies, about a boy who dumped his long termed girlfriend just cause he fell in love with a new character. The Right Girl. When we'd realized that he had fallen in love with the main character, we all became happy about the turn of events. Just cause we'd been shipping both of them for a very long time. No one wanted him to be with The Wrong Girl, cause she was either too perfect, had a nasty character or treated everyone like trash. We all enjoyed the boy and The Right Girl new found relationship, and totally forgot that he was in a different relationship not too long ago. No one thought about The Wrong Girl, or how her life would be like after the break up. No one thought if she'd actually get into a new relationship, or stayed single for the rest of her life. I was guilty as charged, until Alex my boyfriend, decided to kiss The Right Girl in front of our secondary school and left me The Wrong Girl, to be the laughing stock to the entire students of Blossom High. • • • Eno had been the most popular girl at Blossom High School. She was like every cliché popular girls you've read on books and watched on television. She had a nasty attitude, popular boyfriend and three popular besties. Every girl wanted to be her, and every guy wanted to be with her. But her all so perfect life changed when her boyfriend Alex, kissed the one girl he claimed not to have feelings for. Now, Eno have to walk round school being who she thought she would never be..... THE WRONG GIRL. #WattysNG2020 • • • Started : 15/09/2019 Finished : 02/04/2020 • • • Highest Rankings 27/10/2019 #2 - africa #7 - nigeria 03/10/2019 #4 - nigerianstory #1 - wronggirl #9 - bestie #1 - proudlynige
