I slowly spun in a circle, taking
in my surroundings. No amount of research could have prepared me for this.
Buildings that were hundreds of years old seemed to rise up on every corner and
there was the slight scent of fresh bread in the air. For a moment I forgot my
self-consciousness and stared at the city sprawling before me. I was abruptly
shaken out of my thoughts by someone running headlong into me, sending me
careening to the cobblestones.

Remington is 17, fresh out of high
school, and spending her pre-college summer in Paris. Everything is planned out
and in order and life couldn’t get better. Then she is sent falling, literally,
by Kilian, a smart, handsome, and incredibly
rude Parisian native. In the blink of an eye Remington’s immaculately organized
trip is swept away and replaced by a whirlwind of adventure, desire, and
romance.

Collecting Polaroids |Slowburn|
"The stars." "What about them?" he asked, raising a perfect eyebrow, stepping closer. I took a step back with every step he took forward. "They're watching over us." He seemed to think about my words before speaking. "Over us? Or you think they're watching over you." "I know they're watching over us." My back hit the railing as he stood less than a foot away from me. His lips parted, releasing a puff of smoke into my face. The smell made me feel sick, but I didn't show it. "Mon cœur, no one is watching over us. It's just a fragment of your little imagination," he said bitterly, a cold look passing over his face. He dropped his cigarette, snuffing it out with his shoe. "No," I breathed, shaking my head, "the stars will always watch over us." - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - *SLOWBURN* Isla Fischer, an 18 year old fresh out of high school and ready for life's adventures.

Fallen from the Sky
Hello! This is a story I wrote a few years ago when I was 11/12. It is not the best written at the start but I didn't want to edit it (it gets better as my writing improves). It involves a school trip where the plane crashes, killing the pilot and landing them on a tropical island. Some parts are cringy and give me second-hand embarrassment, but you'll just have to experience the pain too! Hope you like it :)Complete
