Hayley Taylor was looking forward to a drama free senior year, spent with her three best friends. She was content with her mediocre social status in school and admiring her long time crush and neighbour Charlie Boyd from afar. 

All that changes when she is included in a group text by accident throwing her life into chaos and potentially the arms of Charlie. She knows she has to stand up for what's right, but at what cost?

Mess To Be Made by jacqueline31

There are few things that humble Allie Carson. As a senior at Whitewood High, she is a central part of the popular crowd and can have any guy she wants - and she knows it. Except for Tyler Hennessy, the one guy who doesn't care to give Allie the time of day. But when her seemingly perfect life suddenly gets turned upside down, Tyler begins to realize that maybe his assumptions about her were incorrect. Maybe there's more to Allie Carson than meets the eye. Maybe even more than she knows. * * * WARNING: This story contains mature language, underage drinking, drug use, sexual harassment/bullying, physical assault, and sexual assault. There will be trigger warnings at the beginning of chapters where these themes are especially present. *** #1 boynextdoor - August 2023 #1 in popular - April 2024 #1 in alcohol - November 2024

Meant to Be by LETollin

What's the number one bro code? Never steal your brother's girl. Ever. Just don't do it. It's wrong! But what if- No. Just forget about it. It's too much work. And the drama that comes after. And then the whole family is involved. It's just not worth it. Leave it alone. Walk away. End of story. But what if she is the most beautiful girl you have ever seen? And you have a lot in common? And you have a connection? Not the cheesy kind. The real kind. The one that everybody dreams about but never wants to admit it. What if you feel something you never did before and somehow, without knowing how, you know that she feels the same? What if she is everything you ever wanted? And is the first girl that you can see yourself having a future with? What do you do then? Do you tell your brother? Is it going to be easy? No. It's going to be hell but you ride through it anyway. I don't own any of the characters mentioned in the story which belong to JK Rowling

The Lucky Bump by liv814

{Highest Ranking: #160 in Teen Fiction & #1 in Love at First Sight} Zac Logan thought he had everything. His parents were filthy rich. He was captain of the football team. He was at the top of his class. Plus, every girl wanted him. What more could he ever want or need? That was until Hailey Foster. Hailey was the total opposite of Zac. She comes from a poor family with four brothers and a little sister, and no parents. She was quiet and stuck to herself. She didn't think she had a future. One day, her oldest brother sends her to get groceries for her family. Not paying attention, her shopping cart hits something, well someone. Who would have thought that bumping into someone would change their lives forever.

Knowing Xavier Hunt ✓ by ScarlettBlackDaisy

|| Featured FREE story with exclusive paid chapters - previously a paid story || When Haley discovers the truth behind Xavier, whose silence holds a deeper meaning, she sets her mind on making his life better one small step at a time. ***** Haley Rosamond is happy with her simple life, content under the wing of her father. Well-protected, she has no idea of the darkness surrounding Xavier Hunt, with his all-black attire and infrequent presence in school-accompanied by his bruises and scars. That is, until Haley catches a glimpse of Xavier's reality and is made to question everything she knows about family and life in general. The truth, she realizes, couldn't be more different from everything she has heard. Supported by her father, Haley sets her mind on helping Xavier any way she can, and what begins with tutoring sessions, free food, and random acts of kindness blooms into friendship and something a little more. But when Haley's admission into her dream college and another tragedy in Xavier's life threaten to undo everything she has worked for, Haley needs to decide if she'll stick by Xavier or simply be another person in his life that disappears.

Ashes Of You And I (Completed) | ✔️ by Soulwithapen

"Her troubled eyes held fire. The kind of fire that was capable of burning me to ash." ***** I grabbed her chin with my free hand, making her look at me. "I hate that I don't know you. I hate not being a part of your life, like I was before." I leaned a little closer, as her intoxicating scent filled my lungs. "Trust me, I can't hate you, no matter how hard I tried." "So you have... " It came out as more of a question than a statement from her as she looked at me with her big blue eyes. "What?" I frowned, dropping my hand from her chin and grabbing her hand, instead. "You have tried hating me then?" She asked, tilting her head to the side. This time it sounded more like a statement than a question. "I have." I sighed, dropping my head in shame. "And it made me lose the most important person in my life." ***** One night. What harm can one night do? It can change lives. Turn best friends into enemies. Turn someone's life upside down. Emily Waters and Ryder Green, were inseparable, joint to the hip, always had each others back and loved each other behind the best friend facade. But one night changed it all. He thinks he has changed for worse but what he doesn't know is that Emily has changed for the worst. Three years later, what if the girl is back, with baggage that she doesn't think anyone could handle? What will happen when they meet? Will the sparks ignite again? Read to find out. *** Best rankings: #5 - romance (16/08/2022) #1 - funny (24/11/2022) #1 - streetfighter (03/09/2021) #3 - humour (24/11/2022) #5 - teenfiction (24/11/2022) #1 - comeback (15/04/2022) #4 - gangs (04/12/2021) #8 - badass (02/07/2021) #2 - bestfriends (16/08/2022) #9 - friendstolovers (06/07/2021) #2 - rebellion (03/09/2021) #4 - bully (21/08/2021) #2 - past (25/10/2021) #2 - Enemiestolivers (01/10/2021)

Kissing Finn by JenessaConnor

With every one of Finn's kisses, Charlie loses a little bit of her old self. Right now, maybe that's what she needs. *** Charlie Wolfe, introvert and secret poet, keeps her social circle small... like, it's more of a straight line than a circle. So, when Jackie Donnelly, her best friend since first grade, very publicly ditches her their senior year, she's heartbroken and humiliated. Her instinct is to hide, so she immerses herself in a culinary arts/creative writing independent study that guarantees her solitude. But a scheduling mix-up forces Charlie to share her workspace with Finn Cavello, an advanced art student who regularly skips school, talks back to teachers, and steals Charlie's supplies. She's frustrated and annoyed by Finn's bad boy act... until she finds herself locked in a janitor's closet with him. Charlie quickly discovers that breaking the rules is not only fun but borderline addictive, especially when you have an accomplice like Finn. But, after Finn reveals the destructive side of his personality, Charlie begins to wonder if she can be with him without losing herself. Or if maybe it's already too late.
