Your life is like a line - or technically, a line segment. It has a starting point. An ending point. No loops or curves or breaks. Unfortunately for Owen Karl Shuttley, his life more accurately resembles a circle with sides - a side for every year he's been 15. Just when he can taste the glorious freedom that comes with turning 16, Owen is sent back to his 15th birthday, doomed to repeat the same year all over again. And again, and again, and again. Why? He's never truly known, or cared for that matter. In fact, Owen has taken advantage of the cruel curse by portraying a different stereotype each time, such as a jock, a prep, or in last year's case, a nerd. This year, as a popular, rich kid, Owen has all he could possibly want. The girls. The money. The cars. The parties. However, he continues to dwell on his previous life as a dork. If Owen ever wants to know the truth, he must chase years that may have never even existed, as he searches for happiness, himself, and an explanation. Because for Owen Shuttley, wasting time may mean adding just another side to his circle.

Being With A Jock
Important Note: This is an old version. A new version to fit my series, Final Reckoning will be uploaded, but still enjoy this one :D Thomas Haynes, a 17 year old teenager in his last year of high school. He's the average teenager. You know, the agile yet non athletic guy, and this is his last time moving. When he was younger as a child, his family moved a lot because of money troubles, mostly from the way the economy is right now. And the economy is pretty screwed up at the moment. Even though he may be the average teenager, he has a secret about himself. He's gay, I know. Pretty shocking, right? How will he survive school staying in the closet? Especially when he meets a guy who he likes, who turns out to be a jock, but not a typical jock as everybody thinks, yet a jock who has their own secrets. He's going to know that being with a Jock isn't so easy as he figuratively expected. A little fame, a little recognition, that alone isn't going to help Thomas with his grade twelve year as a new student. Being With A Jock, what possibilities could there be?Complete
I Fell in Love with a Bad Boy
CRINGE WARNING! First book I ever wrote on here!! -- "Sometimes the person who you are willing to take a bullet for is the person behind the gun." I stood peering over the cold lifeless body that lay before my eyes. I had always thought of death the enemy, but right now, I blessed it upon the person who is now at peace. Sometimes you don't need to be the smartest, or the fastest, but you do need to be wisest. They say the blood runs deeper than water, and I believe it, because even though the people that we love can turn on us and begin to hate us, they are only human, meaning that soon they will begin to see how short life really is and how it is not to be wasted. People who seem perfect and they look like they have no floors'; they are the people who are suffering, like I was. But I found my savior in the most uncommon place. He was able to look through my mask, he saw the cracks, and tried to fix the broken girl that hid away deep inside the girl who only wanted to be seen as 'fine'. I slowly began to find comfort and safety in him, and I did the same to him. We were two broken people becoming whole. Someone once said when you pass, if you can count your true friends on one hand you are beyond lucky, and I even though I did not like the person that lay before me, I know that he once had true friends, including me. I'm a 17 year old girl who has suffered more than any other, beginning to believe that 'Hope' was just another word the people throw around. Until I fell in love with a badboy.
