Life is full of challenges, some easier than others. One day, Life comes up with a challenge for Peyton Brooks, a 'normal' and slightly (okay, maybe very) boring girl.
Life bet that he could find 100 reasons to cry before she could find 1000 reasons to smile.
At first Peyton thought this was going to be a piece of cake, but then she realized that she didn't like cake: in other words, the bet was starting to seem impossible.
But, Peyton was yet to learn that nothing can be taken for granted; there are many things to smile about, you just have to open your eyes big enough to see the small things in life.

DREAMS IN THE SKY
What are you willing to sacrifice for your dreams? We all have a goal, a dream or just something that we constantly look forward to, something that drives us to become a better person. Whatever it may be, it can-and with much effort-will come true. In this teenage fiction; Emily constantly day dreams of exploring the world, making her talent recognized and useful, dreams and fantasies of getting famous, living the Rockstar life, getting on magazine covers and doing everything a literal celebrity would do. Though being a minor in a small limiting town might be a huge barrier, she is determined to do whatever it takes to make her dreams come true. Enjoy reading this teen-fiction that opens the mind to the real world, the world where success and everything is attainable, it all depends on how bad you really want it, and how far you are willing to go. Focus on the future, because clinging to the past {which in reality you can't do anything about} will only make you sick and leave you second-guessing yourself. Literally! DREAMS IN THE SKY.Complete
Awkward
- a featured story on wattpad @sport - a featured story on wattpad @generalfiction School has an odd way of making you hate it yet love the people you meet. I hate both. I've been the new boy at my school for nearly five months. Since my family's life of poverty was flipped on its head I've seen my entire world open up; it's like I was living in a cave. This time last year, I was 'too poor to have a Valentine'. This time this year, I just don't have the guts. Seriously, "Valentine's Day is the root of human anxiety." ~ Albert Einstein. (Don't look it up. I'm telling you what 'the government' doesn't want you to know.) But school has an odd way of giving you the perfect friends, a perfect love life and perfectly supporting your dreams to be a pro football player like your older brother. That, or it crushes you. It just crushes you. Your dreams? Crushed. Your friends? Meh. Your love life? Nonexistent (but as soon as it exists, CRUSHED). But we don't know what will happen for sure, right? I'm Roman Turner, but you can call me "the cool man". Gosh, I know I'll cringe at this later. ----------- - a featured story on wattpad @sport - a romance winner at the multi awards - a story told through two points of view • Romance/Sport/Slice of Life | Roman • Prose/Mystery/Psychological | Danielle • BOOK ONE: LIVING. • (EST.) 3390 words/part. • Cover artist - Sage Hieran.

Unhinged
"Silly boy - you dare ask me that question?" I frown at him instantly - taken aback when he gripped my chin. Yanking me close enough towards him, our lips almost touched. The look in his eyes was one I've seen in wild animals who can't control their animalistic behaviors. Except this one was different...it held desire - which I wasn't for at all. "I became Unhinged because of you." That's when I saw him begin to lean towards me, and wasn't having this any longer. I shove my hand onto his lips right when he was about to kiss me. My eyes glaring into his despite the risks of me doing so. "I refuse for my first kiss to be from someone like you." I growl at him, his eyes widening in shock. That's when I push him back and got off of the couch. I saw him watching me with feral eyes that told me I probably angered him even more. Possibly heightening the chances of my removal from this horrid competition. Except I'm not like the other contestants here. Having him isn't my dream, my dream is helping my family - and being here does that. I could care less if he becomes Unhinged. Especially if it's because of me. *read "Prologue" for story description* 😊💕Complete
