Nellie Primble had three rules:
1. Don't make new friends, you'll always have to leave them.
2. Blend in, being the new girl sucks.
3. Never EVER fall in love, it will only make matters worse.

These rules may sound crazy to someone who has lived in the same friendly suburb for all of their life, but for a girl who has moved 15 times in the past 5 years, this was just how life was. Her brother, Ethan, hadn't learned these rules yet, but he would in time. Five year olds are very sociable, after all. She had no trouble following these rules until move #15, where her window was adjacent to Thomas Allman, the strangest boy she'd ever met.

Always looking for constructive criticism! This is honestly just for fun so enjoy! -Jess :)All Rights Reserved

Knife's Edge by moxie_writes

With a drug lord for a father and an addict for a mother, Jade Taylor was dealt a pretty shabby hand in life. Her childhood was spent in a constant state of fear, her only solace being her two half-sisters -- Charlotte and Bailey -- who were forced to live the nightmare alongside her. But things all changed when their father got sent to prison. Eight new social workers and five foster families later, the girls finally found their home. Now, at eighteen, Jade is counting down the days until her exams are over, excited to spend a stress-free summer with her boyfriend, her two best friends, and her forever family. Unfortunately, things don't always go to plan -- not in a town like Greencliff. Upon meeting the Coleman brothers -- a family that fits so well into the 'gang' culture she so desperately wants to avoid -- Jade finds herself teetering on the edge of a blade, carefully balanced between the life she wants and the life she wants to escape. And when she catches the eye of Lucas Coleman, the eldest of the brothers, it's only a matter of time before she falls. Only one questions remains: Which way will she land? (This description is a work in progress and may be subject to change!) TRIGGER WARNINGS ⚠️ : Drugs, violence, references to childhood abuse, mental health issues **UPDATES EVERY THURSDAY**

I don't know you anymore by mysterious_mochi

Primrose was raised to be a perfect little girl her whole life, at a young age she was raised to perfection, kitten heels, dresses and manners of a lady. She met a boy named Xavier in preschool, a skinny little boy with glasses, she grew fond of the funny little boy and they became good friends despite his family being short of money. When Primrose was 8 and Xavier was 9 years old Xavier's Fathers business hit the jackpot and went sky high making them one of the richest families in the country. He moved away leaving primrose in her perfectly controlled life. Years passed, Xavier changed in every way possible, he got contact lenses and his hair grew darker with age and he was toned and covered in tattoos. He was unrecognisable. Primrose however hadn't changed one bit, she had light blonde hair with soft curls and bright green eyes. She still wore perfect prim dresses and kitten heels and held herself like a lady and was kind to everyone even the worst of people. When Xavier returned to his home town at 19 he recognised primrose who is now 18. However she didn't recognise him. (TW: I have made this story mature for very small reasons such as how her father treats her and her mother and it may be upsetting to some so please be mindful of this when reading the story. There is also bullying and controlling behaviour mentioned. Otherwise it's pretty PG within the book)

Destined to be Together by lonely_lucifer31

Being a loved one isn't that difficult, is it? Some people believe it's easy. Ironically, many do not know how it feels to have people around who care for them. Some people grow up accepting the cruel world around them, forcing them to show off a tough personality and acting harsh as well. These people are often considered 'heartless' even though they might not be. While some find out reasons to be happy in every possible situation. Making new friends, ready to face challenges with a smile but not a frown and trying to understand others' problems is a small part of their personalities. Everyone in this world deserves someone with whom they can forget the rest of the world around them. It can be your family, your friends or maybe someone more than a friend... But can a cold and arrogant person ever receive any kind of affection? When a mysterious person, known by no one, starts getting attention from a transfer student, where would this lead the story? What would be the identity of this mysterious person? Trapped in a troublesome friendship, will they realize their love for each other? A simple and sweet love story of two souls, completely different from each other. Where would their destiny lead them?

Our families are close, I view her grandfather as my own. The only thing is, I still can't bring myself to say more than a few words to the girl who occupies most of my thoughts. Going into my last year of high school, I needed the chance to have my world shifted by Bailey Connors. Bailey Connors: I broadcasted my crush on Beckett Davis in the 2nd grade after decorating him a cookie. And every time after that when I can't control how my face heats around him. My grandfather adores the boy next door, and who doesn't? I'm embarrassed of how long it took me to reach for things I may want, instead of just letting things happen to me. Beckett's seen some of my worst moments from afar, but what would it be like for him to see them up close? #1 in bookworm #1 in highschoolromance #1 in foundfamily #1 in goldenretriever #1 in neighbors #1 in teenromance #1 in friendstolovers

I try not to stare most of the time, but for some reason, tonight, I just couldn't look away. I've seen many pretty girls before in so many different places; Including the light rail, but for some reason tonight, she was just so much lovelier than any other girl I've ever seen. Why am I even getting worked up over her anyways? It's not like I'll ever see her again. Well, that's a perfect excuse to keep looking! I'll never see her again, so why does it matter if I continue to look. Well then, that settles it. I'll continue to look... He was right. Normally, when I see a cute girl, I'm like eh, but because she's just so pretty, and also because I don't have much time left, I might as well. "I mean, come on dude, You might as well." What a perfect sign. I just said it, and now he just said it. Definitely means I gotta do it. I wanted to text him back to let him know I was going to. Even though he probably thinks ill chicken out at the last second. "Your right. I might as well."
