𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐦𝐧 𝐌𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐧 is 17 years old, who is from London, and is forced to move to Canada with her abusive father. She's been through so much throughout her childhood with her mother deserting her at 6, her dad becoming abusive ever since - and blaming her for it - having fake friends, and her biggest secret being revealed, which caused her life to come crushing down. 

All she wants to do is be free from the abuse, find happiness, make friends and doesn't have to pretend all the time. But new life, new school, and new people means no one can know who she really is...right?

                                                   ❥ 

𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐲𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐌𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐬 is 17 years old and is the typical high school arrogant boy, who cares about no one but himself and his reputation being the captain of the schools ice hockey team. He sleeps around, gets into fights, and causes a new problem every day. No one dares to approach him because that's basically planning your death wish. 

But what happens when Autumn comes along and does what no one dares to do? He's intrigued by her and can see in her eyes that she holds a dark past and isn't who he thought she is. He's hooked by her charms but he never chases girls, girls chase him.


Will he save her and fall in love for the first time? Or will he try to keep his reputation and not ruin it over some girl...?

Her brows furrowed. "You look like you have something specific you wanna ask me." The tips of Liam's ears turned red at Emma's very accurate observation. "I, uh... I usually just bullshit my way through projects, so I have no idea what the hell I'm doing." The corners of Emma's lips formed a small smile. Liam arched his brow. "What are you smiling at?" Her smile widened. "Nothing." Ever since Emma started going to Silver Creek High, she's been bullied over her discolored eyes. It all started when a boy brought attention to her in biology class one day, laughing at her and calling her a "freak" while the rest of the class laughed along with him. She never looked at him or saw his face; she just ran out of the room crying. She was now an outcast labeled as a freak and she wanted nothing more than to just disappear. She felt she had no purpose in life. Until her sophomore year when she fell in love with Liam, the guy every girl wanted; the guy every dude wanted to be. He had stolen her heart and she now wanted nothing more than to be with him. Unfortunately, Liam seemed to want nothing to do with Emma. He seemed to be straight up avoiding her. They never interacted for 3 whole years. That is, until now in their senior year, when they get paired up for a school project. The two must put their differences aside and try to work as a team. But as they spend more time together, feelings grow deeper, and secrets start to rise to the surface.

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 Newadult

"What are you doing?" He glances up at me through his glasses, his bored tone sending a jolt through me as I sit on his lap. I know he's a god at this 'poker face' game, but he needs to realise that his body always tells a different story-like how hard he's gripping my thigh right now and how hard he is beneath me. Yet, I can't ignore the power he exudes. There's this strange, dominating energy about him that makes me feel small as if I am a rat being cowered back into a hole. And for Reina Gavril to feel that way? I hate it. I hate him. ࣪˖ ִֶָ 𝗥𝗘𝗜𝗡𝗔 𝗚𝗔𝗩𝗥𝗜𝗟, the queen bee of Schola Stellae, has it all-flawless looks, charisma, top grades, and a touch of mischief that gets her whatever she wants.

An internal voice whispered, "Call him." But I chose not to. I dismissed it once more, saying, "He never liked me anyway." Yet the dilemma lingered. "But maybe he does.

No, wait-oh my god." --- After switching high schools, Nina discovered a new way of life. She fell in love, made wonderful friends, and everything seemed perfect.

"If you hear a bad story about me, understand, there was a time I was good to those people too but they won't tell you that part..." Kiera has been in and out of various foster houses since she was seven. Her life was very aloof from any other ordinary kid. She never got what she wanted, never had really loving parents and never wished for anything. She just wanted to be independent. So, when, just a few months shy from turning eighteen, she's sent off to a new foster house in Manhattan, she enters the house with five thoughts. Be calm. Don't get punished. Don't cause any tantrums. Don't get friendly. And get the hell out. But what she doesn't realize is that the house is very different from the other houses she's ever been to. She was about to get furious, get punished, cause tantrums, get friendly and worse...fall in love. But life isn't a fairy tale. Not every story is supposed to have a happy ending... or does it? "Physically he was my dream, and in every other way, my nightmare..." ******************************** My first story... The story is better than its description. Since I'm not very good with descriptions, I couldn't write much. Just give it a try... ******************************** RANKINGS SO FAR: #7 badboyromance #9 confusedlove #20 toxiclove #96 badboygoodgirl
