What's life like when you're fake? Life is hellish...to say the least. But all that changes when Micah Lowell meets Rachel Lister, a sophomore in college.
Micah's just your superstar high school senior. He plays on the basketball team. He plays soccer. He's in the Honor Society with a 3.5 GPA. He's deciding what college to attend the following fall. But he's got a secret: his father is a minister in a Southern Baptist church, everyone thinks he's a Christian, but...he's living with a mask on. He doesn't know what to do as his world starts spiraling out of control when he meets Rachel.
Rachel is the opposite. She's average in just about everything. She doesn't like being in the spotlight. She's nerdy. Yet she knows who she is in Christ. She came from a broken family and never wants to see that happen again.
What happens when you mix a non-Christian superstar who wants God, but is looking in the wrong places and a humble Christian girl living in modest fashion? Guess you'll have to see!
A/N: It's been a year since I last put anything up on Wattpad. It took me a year...BUT it's finally all finished! :) I'm only putting a small update per week however. It keeps interest flowing (if there is any lol). Sorry for cliffhanging you guys!

Love is an odd drug. (Realistic fiction)
A story of a 17-year-old boy named Pure. He is a lonely guy that hasn't felt the real touch of love. He has had girlfriends but the feeling of happiness never reached his eyes anymore. But one day, He met a tall, blonde haired, nerdy girl named Charity. Will, he confessed his feelings for her? Does he know she may feel the same way? I guess you'll have to stay tuned and find out. PS: Okay there is a bigger plot than just the confession. I'm sorry I just love writing into this story and I got bigger better plans for it. High school love and drama is always fun to write about. Also all names used in my stories are from a Random Name Generator. They aren't real names of the people these are based on. (Note: I'm not using my real name just yet. ;) Eventually you guys will find out my name but you'll just have to wait in the story. Pure Placebo Out!)Complete

In which I fall in love with my brother's best friend. ***** "Don't pretend like you don't feel anything." His voice is low, sending shivers down my spine. "What do you mean?" "You know damn well what I mean." "I don't know what you're talking about." I pretend to ignore him, flipping some pages in my book. "Come on. I have all these assignments waiting. Aren't you supposed to teach me tonight?" "It depends on what you want me to teach." He smirks, his voice sounding even more dangerous. ***** I thought that my brother was the most popular guy in school, but as soon as I step into my university life, I realize how wrong I was. Meet Vaughn Cooper, his best friend. The guy is the epitome of every girl's dream. Godlike handsome. The quarterback. He's got the looks, and he's got the brain. Come on, he's got the scholarship to one of the most prestigious universities in the country, while I have just barely passed the entrance examination after long years of struggle during high school. How could a guy who worked that hard and deserves nothing more but adoration be labeled as a bad boy? Yeah, the answer is simple. The moment we lock eyes, I realize something as I stare into those piercing, amber eyes. He's not every girl's dream. He's every girl's nightmare. In my case, MY nightmare. Calm down, heart. Our story hasn't even started. ***** THE SPENCERS SERIES BOOK #1 Β© 2020 Anya Jayvyn. All Rights Reserved.

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.

I feel like i've lost years i haven't lived-September
This story is not always going to make sense, ive been sporadically writing it for the past year ish and its more of a vent book then something to be taken seriously. Im sure between the months alot of details have been missed or forgotten, but i have tried to stay as consistent as possible despite. The full story is stretched out over a few different books. All under the same title "I feel like i've lost years i haven't lived yet" Trigger warning: Eating disorders, Sexual assault, Rape, Violence, Severe abuse, kidnapping, Basically anything that you could think may be talked about in the book, it probably is. ------------------------ "Is this finally my life? Do i hold it with both hands? Do i try to live?" Carson is a child who has been in and out of the system for years. Her history leaves something more to be desired from life. More that she can never seem to reach. Atleast, not until she meets Phil and his family, that is. Phil is a man packed full of grief. Having watched his wife die right in front of him in a devestating car accident, he found himself unsure of if he was still fit to raise his boys. Hell, Phil was unsure of alot now a days. So when he got the call asking if he was willing to take in a severely abused young girl, Phil almost said no. But when he looked down at the three boys sitting in his living room, laughing at a random cartoon on an early sunday morning.. Phil couldn't find it in himself to say no to taking the girl. Would this family work out and become a home? Or would Carson be doomed to dift around foster care until she, inevitably, turned eighteen? ------------------------ Once again i am in no way a professional nor do i ever intend to be. Alot of these chapters are slightly based on some experiences ive had, specifically family, sibling, and or friends wise. I use this book as a way to vent my feelings on alot of situations i have personally experienced, while still trying to make it make some sort of sense.Complete

My Teddy
The corner of his mouth tilts upward slightly. I smile again. A smile!? A tiny one, but still. "Hm. So I got you to smile, that's progress, yeah? Can I get your name now?" I ask, swinging my feel a little. He shakes his head shyly, his mouth not moving at all. Geez! Why do I want to hear this dude talk so much? "Okay, that's fine. I can give you a nickname." I offer happily. He looks up from his book, raising his eyebrows. I just stare for a moment. He has nice eyes. Pretty brown chocolate orbs. They remind me so much of....... "Teddy." He shakes his head immediately, frowning. "What, why not? You remind me of my old teddy bear. He was a good listener and he didn't talk much..... just like you." I say softly, tilting my head. He continues to shake his head. I fold my arms, leaning back in my seat. "Yeah, it's definitely sticking. Teddy.....It has a nice ring to it, yeah?" He sighs, the first sound I have ever heard him make. "No." . . . *Jordan* Teddy!? Seriously!? She gave me a fucking NICKNAME!? What the hell does this girl want!? I stuff my hands into my pockets, walking down the busy street. Forget about her. She's just a annoying pretty girl, she'll go away. Everybody does. She HAS to go away. *Spoiler alert*: she doesn't. Don't get close to people or they'll end up getting hurt. That's my mindset. I've been through enough of that. This girl doesn't belong in my world anyway. She's too innocent. *Mature content* {Just a quick update, I am basically rewriting the story. I wrote it when I was in 8th grade and it makes me cringe every time I try to go back and edit it so keep in mind that it'll get better}Complete
The Girl And The Player
"I hate you, more than anything," I gritted my teeth. "You sure about that?" He taunted with a smirk. He took a step forward, and I took a step back; it went back and forth until my back touched the wall. He moved so close to me that my breathing hitched. "Now why do you think that, Amore?" He murmured into my ear. As I was going to say something, he grabbed my face and smashed my lips against his. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Adrianna Jackson is 17 and pretty smart. She's got some good friends but is stuck in a crappy job. She's not exactly popular, but she's not super quiet either. Marcus Mariano, an 18-year-old dude who's pretty much the life of the party. He might not be hitting the books too hard, but he's got that natural charm that makes him super popular. Plus, he's the big shot as the captain of the football team Marcus and Adrianna, high school rivals serving detention together, and they decide to team up and create a fake romance to stir up drama and make others jealous. As they work together, they unexpectedly start to see different sides of each other and develop real feelings. However, they are hesitant to acknowledge this shift, fearing it might complicate their original goal or lead to more heartache. As their fake relationship starts to feel more real, Marcus and Adrianna are faced with a dilemma: will they embrace their true emotions and take a chance on love, or will their pride and past grievances keep them from admitting their growing affection for each other?

All Of You
(Though highly recommend to read the book "Obsession, Madness & Love" first, this book can be read as a standalone.) ____________________________________________ I made a mistake. A terrible one. I betrayed my best friend. The only person who ever cared for me. But I had no choice. Then there's his younger sister, Maria Andrews who always looked up to me as if I was some kind of an angel, little does she know that I am far away from that. And now I am on the run, trying to leave everything behind. But it's been four years, four fucking years since her eighteenth birthday when she confessed having feelings for me. For Me. And her words still haunt me, the tears in her eyes when I rejected her still burn my heart but I did what I had to do. People don't love me, especially women...they only seek pleasure from me. I am not a lovable person and someone you should definitely steer clear of. Getting involved with my best friend's (or ex best friend's) sister is stupid and I'm fucking mature enough to not even think of her, of someone who is eight years younger than me. But now, she is here and God help me, I am about to cross every fucking line.Complete
