*COMPLETED*

Why did the bad boy always have to change for the good girl? What if she changed for him?

The King of Hollow Hills wouldn't show kindness to anyone. Not even the good girl. He isn't that cliché.

Ella Janson is pretty good at giving people the benefit of the doubt, in fact, it's usually her downfall, but even she can't stand him.

What happens when he is falsely accused of stealing 70 grand? She helps him...just not in the way she should have.

Illegal decisions, an anger-driven ex-boyfriend, a single getaway car, and a bounty end up being the hot topics of her senior year.

All she wanted to do was graduate as senior class President, but now, she starts to wonder if she will even live long enough to accomplish it.

Well is her body clean for anything? I look down at her body and grin up at her raising an eyebrow, she immediately gasps, "We are clever aren't we?

I see you - complete by mbenjmil

"I found you once, if the universe allows it I'll find you again." ------------ Melany Marshall, if people had to describe her they would all use the same words: Focused, driven and one hell of a beauty. The beautiful brunette hasn't had much luck in the love scene, and honestly? She doesn't even care anymore, she just wants to graduate and go to law school. Educational validation is the only thing that has kept her on the rails after all. But then she meets the one and only Blake King, the womanizer that just moved to town, but why? He might look like mister perfect but what is he hiding underneath that handsome face? Everyone has a story, it doesn't matter how ugly or painful they are. All our souls long for is to create new ones with the people they love. - - This book is labeled mature due to use of strong language and mature (triggering) topics. - - First few chapters are in need of some deep editing, (punctuation and grammar mistakes) it gets better the further you get into the story.

James Norris is an 18-year-old boy who hates everybody but his two best friends Josh and Owen. He's a hump and dump kind of guy and doesn't give a shit about any girl or anyone...well until Bella comes in. He already has a tough life being a gang leader and all, but once he meets Bella Hayes it gets a whole lot better...for him at least. He meets Bella in an alley one night when all of a sudden he sees a girl witnessing something she isn't supposed to, but doesn't want to kill her like he is supposed to. ------------ This is my first story so it is probably going to honestly suck my writing does get better towards the end of the story but if you do choose to read I hope you enjoy it!

Rules to Feeling Lonely by LoveForPie7

Alone. A simple word that has always held many meanings to Ella, and starting her senior year at a new high school, solitude had seemed the easiest way to go. A week passed, bland and unnoticed, before her plans quickly get thrown overboard. Losing one of her most priced possessions, she finds herself making a rather simple deal with someone from school. His name, for her book. There's only one little problem; she has no idea who this person is. Laughs and tears, friends and heartbreak, and the past that comes knocking on the door. Ella faces it all as she takes on the search to find her secret admirer. ___________________ "I can't believe him after the texts, the letter, the flowers. All these months and he just tells me 'we'll talk later'", I told him, feeling absolutely frustrated. I am so damn stupid, thinking this was gonna be something special or whatever. "It isn't him", he suddenly spoke and I just rolled my eyes. He doesn't even know what he's talking about, the imbisile. "It is, you don't even know what you're talking about so shut up", I cried out, walking forth and back for the hundredth time. "Listen, I do and it isn't him", he yelled this time and I stopped walking, angrily turning to him. Can he stop just pissing me off even more? "Oh yeah? And how are you so sure?" "Because it's me"
