A wallet, a thief, and a brilliant plan--what could possibly go wrong? 

At least that's what Stella thinks--until she and Pin Pin get caught
 with the goods, that is, and all heaven, hell and whatever's-in-between
 breaks loose, forcing the best friends to hit the road. 

Tag along as Stella and Pin Pin runaway to midtown Manhattan, all 
the while battling archrival Teresa Como for the title to SOHO's Annual 
Food Drive, their ticket to Regis Academy--a posh high school for girls,
 hidden far, far away in the Catskills. Oh-la-la, for the chance to 
leave home--for good!

Problem is... the road isn't much safer than home, especially when 
the runaways attract the attention of police, museum officials 
and--worst of all--Stella's unforgiving father. 

Also pitted against their extravagant dream is the threat of Pin and
 her family's deportation, including baby sister, Audrey, who lies at 
the heart of this quirky coming-of-age novel--STELLA BELLAROSA:  Tales

Teen Idols And Happy Meals by CaitlynTheresa

In a small New England town there lives a girl. A quirky, spirited McDonald’s cashier named Nikki Davenport. As a charismatic drama freak, she should’ve lived a happy, carefree life – just like any other teenager. But, plagued by money problems, Nikki’s been forced to enter a dark, sinister world in her attempts to support her family. The last thing she wants is more excitement. In that same town though, there is a boy. A beautiful, awful boy who lives and dies for excitement. As an A-list celebrity, seventeen year old Jacen Sage finds just about everything hopelessly boring. Things that he once found fun, have now lost their appeal. The only thing that interests him anymore is starting trouble. If he’s doing what he’s supposed to, he’s not doing what he wants. Terribly reckless, Jacen only feels alive when he’s about to die. No matter their identical zip codes, the two live in totally different worlds, and probably would’ve never met if not for Jacen’s infatuation with chicken nuggets. As soon as he walks into McDonalds that first day, Nikki knows there’s more to this boy than designer clothes and a pretty face. She’s drawn to him, but she denies it, no matter how many times he orders a happy meal from her. After all, the last thing she has time for is an obsession. But how can you deny fate when it won’t leave you the hell alone? After the teen idol sacrifices himself to save her, Nikki realizes there’s much more to Jacen than meets the eye. Quickly, the two are snatched up in a passionate, whirlwind romance. But Jacen’s dark, terrible past and Nikki’s ugly business aren’t the only things standing in the lovers' way. People have been disappearing left and right all over town, and the only connection between the missing girls is Jacen himself. Does the young star have a darker side than even Nikki realizes, or are the strange gifts he's been receiving a sign that he's just another victim?

The girl from New York by joanneexu

Completed✔️ Disclaimer: I wrote this when I was 15 so it is a bit cliché, and many mistakes in the story:) All Brooklyn's life, she's been more of a boy than a girl. She's only ever lived with her single dad and her three older brothers, which means she was bound to grow up more like them. So, when she moved all the way from New York to Tennessee, it wasn't much of a surprise until she met Alex, the one of many popular boys at the high school. Until she realized that Alex decided to make her life a living hell. Well, that's what Brooklyn thought, at least... ___ "He leaned in and put a hand behind my head to kiss me, leaving me frozen and speechless. Almost instinctively, after a moment of processing, I stood on my tippy toes and replaced my fingers in his hair, my other hand on his neck. Butterflies exploded in my stomach, replacing my hunger for food, as he pressed me against a vacant wall. Without a word, he lifted me up while my legs wrapped around his waist, leaning in closer to him, even after there was no more space to fill."

Gotcha! (excerpt) by ChristieCraig

Thanks for welcoming me to Wattpad! Hope you enjoy these first three chapters of GOTCHA!!! It's the first book in my "Tall, Hot & Texan" series. You can pick up the rest of GOTCHA, and the next book in the series, THE COP WHO STOLE CHRISTMAS, wherever ebooks are sold. You can find out more about it on my website! Hope to hear from you! -- Christie Craig "Funny, hot and suspenseful, Christie Craig's writing has it all!" -- Nina Bangs Macy Tucker was five years old when her beloved grandfather dropped dead in his spaghetti. At twelve, her father left his family in the dust. At twenty-five, her husband gave his secretary a pre-Christmas bonus in bed, and Macy gave him the boot. To put things lightly, men have been undependable. That's why dating's off the menu. Macy is focused on putting herself through law school -- which means being the delivery girl for Papa's Pizza. But cheesier than her job is her pie-eyed brother, who just recently escaped from prison to protect his new girlfriend. And hotter than Texas toast is the investigating detective. Proud, sexy...inflexible, he's a man who would kiss her just to shut her up. But Jake Baldwin's a protector as much as a dish. And when he gets his man -- or his woman -- Macy knows it's for life.

Give Me A Kiss by elricafort

On a summer trip to Barcelona, two children-Matt and Elena-meet by chance in a McDonald's, under the glow of a midnight moon. Both are bored, their parents still in line ordering food, when their eyes meet across the crowded restaurant. Without speaking, they start to play, laughing and running around the tables as if they'd known each other forever. Their connection is instant, pure, and magical, as only childhood friendships can be. By the time the clock strikes midnight, the two have become inseparable. As it turns out, their families are staying at the same hotel and taking the same sightseeing tours for the next two weeks. This leads to a string of shared adventures-exploring the streets of Barcelona, eating ice cream in the park, and getting lost in the city's magic. Every day brings a new memory, every night a promise of tomorrow. But all good things must end, and as the trip comes to a close, so too must their time together. Matt is returning to London, and Elena is flying back to the Philippines. As they say their tearful goodbyes, they make a solemn promise: when they are adults, they will meet again in the same McDonald's in Barcelona. That night, before leaving, Elena leans in and whispers, "Give me a kiss, so you won't forget me." Over the years, Matt and Elena keep in touch through letters, sharing stories of their lives. But one day, Elena's letters stop coming. Matt writes, and waits, but hears nothing. Years pass, but he never forgets her, or their promise. The story is about time, distance, and the enduring power of a childhood promise. As Matt grows older, his life moves on, but the memory of Elena, the girl from McDonald's under the Barcelona moon, remains vivid. The story ends with him preparing to return to Barcelona as an adult, hoping to see her again, wondering if Elena has kept the promise they made so long ago. Will they meet again, and if they do, how much will have changed? (Story inspired by Crash Adams song Give Me A Kiss)

The Moving Times Of Caroline Proudly by CarolineProudly

Caroline is 16 when she suddenly decides that her perfectly normal and loving home life is absolutely and completely intolerable. Suddenly moving out of home in 1988 is the beginning of a 13 year journey. As the journey continues, the passage of time has no significance. Always with the ability to find the humorous side, each address marks another chapter in Caroline's life and is the backdrop for the people she meets and the events that occur. Accommodation varies from unheated rooms and houses with wheel-less cars jacked-up outside to Regency flats and rural cottages. Transportation means vary from a single use bicycle, to Betsa and the faithful Dwanetta. Flatmates vary from a lovely Brummie and a singing nun to a dying dog, a ginger laminator, a 3 nippled geek and an accidental spell with a local drugs baron. Events vary from harbouring boarding schoolgirls, exercising racehorses, the occasional rave, trading in shampoo and marmite on toast to looking for stolen laundry, going undercover and self-defence with a hockey stick. Jobs vary from not having one to shop work, bartending and au pair through to getting a toe on the corporate ladder. There is infatuation, and love from various sources so there is also disappointment, and breakups by varying means and for various reasons. Education varies from a bit of formal study to a large dollop of the University of Life. The latter being the real reason Caroline left home in the first place - to grow up in her own way through her own experiences with no-one else to blame but herself and the interesting hand that life deals along the way. Caroline moves home 19 times, only to find that the 20th move takes her to the last place she ever expected to be. Back where she started. Things aren't always as they seem...

Camera Flashes (1) - Taylor Swift by happyathello13

"You talk like you ate a thesaurus for breakfast. You should try a normal person word instead of lineage, like family." "Would that not involve being remotely fond of them?" Being famous is like someone slowly suffocating you. Even if you chose it, you don't realize until it's already too late and the air is gone. Some people make it out, some crave the attention, while others merely let it suffocate them past the point of no return. Grace didn't choose to be famous, but Taylor did. The camera flashes are bright, they are blinding, and life is a total nightmare. It's about to get a whole lot worse. - An alternate universe to my story 'Stay' and the subsequent one shots, same characters, completely different life. As with all my stories, this book contains mature themes and sensitive subject matter and is intended for a mature audience. Reader discretion is advised. - This is a work of fiction and I only own original characters and not Taylor Swift, her works or any other living and mentioned people. Persons and or opinions are fictional and not meant to cause harm to anyone living or dead. Do not reproduce or adapt.

Vengeance ✓ by allisonreads90

Scarlet wasn't supposed to be a runaway. She wasn't the kind to pack up her belongings and just leave. Or at least that's what the town she had grown up in thought of her. But what Scarlet also wasn't supposed to do was run into a future which was nothing but greater danger. After three years across the country, when the time comes to move closer to home, Scarlet, for once, also didn't expect to be knocked down by the ones who had made her run away in the first place. But this time, there's no flight; only fight. •❅──────✧❅✦❅✧──────❅• TeenFic | YA | Romance | Action Warning: Themes of abuse, bullying, and strong language.
