Moose Jaw Saskatchewan; not quite a small town, not quite a city. It's something in-between with elements of both, and to Anna Crawford, it's perfect just the way it is.
Anna was born and raised with the wind at her back on a hobby farm in Caronport, a 20 minute drive outside of town. A free range only child and full-blown country girl, she knows no life apart from her forests, animals, and flower fields, where her independent and free-spirited self can use her wild imagination to her heart's content.
Grade 10 was a breeze. Next up is summer vacation, and then it's on to grade 11...
... or is it?
Anna's nearly perfect grades throughout middle and high school have earned her a difficult choice; remain in her current class, or start fresh with an entirely new one by skipping a grade and joining grade 12 to match her current academic level. Opting for the latter, she prepares herself for the new beginning she's about to face, and the new classmates she's about to meet. The first experience she'll have with this new group of people, as she finds out, is a trip with her biology class; a three week expenses-paid trip to Vancouver BC, to be exact.
Anna has never seen the ocean, nor has she ever been on a plane before, but she's determined to fit in and make a place for herself.
Julien Bennett grew up in Sunningdale in northern Moose Jaw and hopes to one day become a marine biologist. Hearing news of this trip has made him ecstatic and he's beyond excited to finish high school off strong - that is, until the unfamiliar 15 year old next to him on the plane needs help coming down from a panic attack.
What will this mean for the rest of the trip exploring one of the biggest cities in Canada?

The Light House Girl.
17-year-old Abigail Wells, known as Abbie, is shipped off to live with her estranged mother. The same woman whom Abbie has not seen since she was about three years old. Abbie's dad, Keith, is not a good guy and hates her passionately. Her home life was not good growing up yet he was the only parent she has ever known. Her only constant. Adeline Cobwell, Abbie's mother, lives in a small town, Reef's Paradise located in Florida. As the name indicates, the town is sort of a paradise for people residing there. Hidden alcove of a town, separated from busy cities surrounding it. The local saying, 'once you are here, you never want to leave,' is something all townsfolk here adhere to. Just like any other small town, Reef's Paradise has its own stories and secrets. Most of such stories are known to all the residents but unknown to the newcomer, Abbie. One such intriguing story is about the Light House, located at the far end of the town on a deserted beach. There is something about the stories, and the Light House itself that attracts Abbie even before she finds out a secret, hiding in it. This is a story about Abbie's journey to self-discovery, to learn what love and care truly mean. Being a teenager is not easy nor is peeling off layers of masks, especially when you have them on for so long. When anger is the only emotion Abbie's known to express for so long things are bound to explode. This is my first story here. Comments and feedback are appreciated.

It was gentle and soft, something I never expected from a guy like him. He moved his right hand from my cheek to my waist, tugging me against him, and molded our bodies together. A wave of electricity went down to my core when he licked my lips. "Open your mouth, Bella." His commanding husky voice against my lips jolted my heart, and I followed his order like a slave. With no control, a moan erupted from my throat as his tongue met mine. It was barely audible, but I knew he heard it when he smiled against my lips. He swept my hair from my face to my back and gathered them in his fist. He tugged my head back, deepening the kiss, and my heart thrashed in my chest. At that moment, I didn't need drugs to know what being high felt like because his lips were enough to send me on nine clouds. Just once and I was addicted to it. If this is how being kissed feels like, then fuck, I've wasted a lot of time. ~^~^~^~ FEATURED ON: @Romance (Romantic Suspense) HIGHEST RANKINGS: #1 Goodgirl, Darkpast #2 Badboy #5 NewaduComplet

Amelia chuckled. I looked up to give her the death glare, but instead of her face, I saw her phone. In a fit of frustration, I jumped up and grabbed her phone out of her hands while yelling, "stop!" My two best friends could not stop laughing at me. I hated them that day; Josh was sitting right behind Amelia while she was recording. I was so angry that I stood up and practically ran out of the canteen and sprinted to the gym. The gym was my quiet place. I'd go there to watch the boys play basketball. Even though they weren't there yet, I went anyway. I was almost at the gym doors when I felt a hand grab my shoulder. I turned around to meet none other than Josh, the boy my friends just humiliated me in front of. "Hey, are you okay?" Josh asked, a concerned look on his bright face. I could feel myself tear up.
