Getting Chased by Raeface24-7

Ava DeMarc believes in luck, so purely it would seem she's obsessed. But really, all she wants is a small omen to help her through. She's been an alcoholic since before she could legally drink, which leaves her with a slew of one night stands and sadness. Ava seems so put together, though, that no one could ever assume she had any issues besides what to wear in the morning. They're all innocent bystanders. Sam Deign is an innocent bystander. The moment he sees Ava, he is sure he wants her. He's never seen someone so kind, so friendly, and he automatically turns up the charm. But he has no idea what a mess he's jumping into. •<>•<>•<>•<>•<>• Excerpt- Truthfully, I'd love to give Sam a chance. He seems so genuine, it really hurts to turn him down on the bumpy coast of a dirty subway. But, honestly, how can I devote myself to someone when I don't even care for who I am? How can I love another without loving the person inside me first? I can't. "Sorry, Sam. I'm going to have to pass." He just grins like he won't take no for an answer, settling into the seat beside me. I enunciate my words. "I said pass. Like, a hard pass." His eyes twinkle in uncovered amusement, and when he opens his mouth, I know it's far from over.

A YEAR-LONG DAY (one-sided slowburn with a twist) by dangodango95

"Dear diary, To my surprise, today we talked a lot. It's been a while since we've chatted like that. He's been very cold to me lately, constantly ignoring me. But during the second lesson he suddenly said that he would recognize my handwriting among all others. Could it be that there are indeed some hidden feelings behind his rude behavior? Can my unrequited love grow into a mutual one? There's still time until our graduation... And, in the meantime, after school my boyfriend had a surprise waiting for me again. He is so romantic. How am I supposed to tell him that I am still in love with my classmate? "A living dog is better than a dead lion". So what should I do if I want to keep the dog by my feet while trying to resurrect the lion?" This book is my personal treasure because it is written based on my genuine school diary. During the last year of high school, I fought for my one-sided love while dating a cool guy, and, had an English teacher fall in love with me all at the same time. This diary sheds light on common Russian school life. Love, drama, adventure, shame, inner growth, depression and much more awaits inside".

Wrong Girl by MissLauren26

This book is the first in the 'Wrong Girl' series and available to buy on Amazon. "You don't think I know how messed up this is? You think I don't know how sick and twisted it is of me to want you? I know this is wrong. I know I shouldn't even be thinking about you in this way but that doesn't change the fact that I do! Samantha, I want you every second of every minute of every day and it's killing me. We belong together and nothing you say or do is going to convince me otherwise. When I'm with her... I'm aching for you, I physically hurt because I can't be with you and I don't know what the hell I'm supposed to do to make this right! You're driving me insane and I'm seriously close to losing my mind if you tell me I can't have one more night with you. You're not the wrong girl, Samantha, she is." - Zack. "There are roughly seven billion people in the world. Seven billion people and I've somehow managed to fall in love with the only person I can't have. The only man on this earth who I can't be with and who I should never, ever want. He's my soul mate, my saviour and the only man I need. He's also my sister's fiancé." - Samantha. Samantha is 23 and broken. She's always been the one and only disappointment within her superficial and judgemental family. Over the years she's given up on the idea of pleasing them, the only one who's ever treated her fairly is Rachel and that's why she doesn't mind when all of the praise and glory is bestowed upon her older and extremely beautiful sister. She has never envied Rachel before... until now. Samantha feels something for her sister's fiancé from the first moment that she sees him. He's kind, gentle, unbelievably gorgeous and incredibly off-limits. She knows she shouldn't want him but no matter what she does she can't seem to get him out of her head. Of course all of the guilt and emotional torment that she's dealing with is pointless because he doesn't feel the same way about her... does he?

Hers to Love by hardinscott1925

Their initial meeting was purely coincidental, a chance encounter at a local café where Maria frequented to unwind after long hours at the office. Amir, with his charming smile and friendly demeanor, struck up a conversation with her . What began as casual chats soon turned into deeper discussions about life, faith, and dreams. Maria found herself drawn to Amir's intellect and gentle nature. Despite their religious and cultural differences, she admired his strength and resilience. However, it soon became clear that Amir didn't share the same romantic feelings. He saw Maria as a close friend and mentor, someone who could help him navigate his new life, but his heart seemed elsewhere, often seen flirting with girls his age. Maria faced numerous challenges in her pursuit of love. Her family was concerned about the religious and cultural implications of her feelings for Amir. Her friends warned her that she was setting herself up for heartbreak, but Maria's feelings for Amir were genuine and deep. She believed that love could transcend their differences and that patience and understanding would eventually win his heart. One fateful evening, after a particularly tough day, Maria finally confronted Amir about her feelings. She poured out her heart, confessing her love and the pain she felt seeing him with others. Amir was taken aback, realizing for the first time the depth of Maria's emotions. He admitted that he had never seen her in a romantic light, mainly because he didn't believe someone as incredible as Maria could ever love him and his family is arranging his marriage to another girl whom they chose for him. Can Maria endure all the pain of loving him?

NAVEL GAZING: excessive absorption in self-analysis or focus on a single issue by ANMS111

-A Lie I decided to focus on family, choosing to believe-and have faith-that everything else would fall into place. I wasn't comfortable-or good-at lying to her. So, when Samantha surprised me one day by swallowing her pride and asking directly if anything had happened during our break, I hesitated. The silence, I believed, said it all. I was on the verge of confessing when she gave me an out: "If you tell me nothing happened, I'll believe you," she said. I should have told her the truth then-or resolved never to reveal it. But I didn't. Instead, it surfaced years later, during the final unraveling of our marriage, when I was leaving for good. I selfishly brought it up, hoping it would push her away. But in that earlier moment, I let her believe what she clearly wanted to hold on to-that I had been faithful. She knew Pippa, and probably sensed something had happened between us, but she let it go. And so did I. It was cowardice, I know. Still, I made up my mind to make our dream a reality. And for a while, it worked. We rebuilt, we dreamed again. Three more sons came into our lives, and with them, years of trying to hold it all together. But more than a dozen years later, the same problems that once threatened us had only deepened-and would soon spiral out of control.

Signing Love (#Wattys 2018) by Love1026

Preview: I looked up, and smiled at Cole. I knew what has happened to me. I just didn't want to show too much of it. Ever since I started to know him, I was really happy. Even though I didn't have too many friends, I felt like I had the world supporting me. That feeling, is so hard to explain. "Are you ready for the science project tomorrow, Samantha?" He asked me. 'I told you, it's Sami. And yes, I'm ready.' I wrote on a piece of paper. I taught him a little sign language, but he only knows the basics. Like greetings. 'I guess this is where we part ways.' He nodded in agreement "Well, see you tomorrow." He waved as I started walking away from him. Right then, I put my middle and ring finger down, and kept my pinky finger, index finger, and my thumb up, I showed him my hand gesture, palm facing away from my face. He gave me a confused look, and I laughed at it. I turned around to walk away. Meaning? I love you. Summary: Samantha (Sami) Connor has been through a lot. She has lost her mother at a young age, and has also been raped. She has trust issues, and she hasn't said a word since she was five years old. But Cole Turner is the exact opposite. The school's hottest bad boy has girls swoon over him, and so much more. Through a journey of love, death, and heartbreak, will Cole and Sami get together anytime?
