Chasing Charming ✔️ by bearjordan

Complete! "You know I really like you, right?" He was definitely drunk. "You do?" I asked. My voice was supposed to be teasing, but I think it came off as a bit startled. He laughed, "Yeah, why else would I trust you with all my secrets?" -- Betty was many things; a romantic, a fashion designer, a bit more jealous than the average girl, great with a camera, a helpful daughter and a good friend. But she was best known for being nice. And usually, the boy did not want the 'nice' girl. But this summer she was going to prove to Mike, her crush since FOREVER, that nice was enough. She was going to have an amazing summer, a perfect Junior year, and finally have her first kiss. It was a foolproof plan. Moving from her childhood home in Arizona to New Mexico at the start of Junior year was never a part of Betty's plan. But sometimes when parents are involved, plans change. So now the nice girl had to start over at a new school in a new State. And when the (maybe not so bad) bad boy, Eli, gets involved, it might be hard to be known as 'the nice girl'.

"I'm perfectly capable of handling things on my own." she asserted, flicking away imaginary specks of dust from her clothes. Little did she know, her collision with Blake marked the beginning of a tumultuous journey neither of them had anticipated. Blake, the notorious bad boy, and Crystal, the quiet good girl - it was a match made in high school drama heaven.But with every step closer they took, the challenges grew. Blake's reputation as a player and Crystal's aversion to popularity clashed in a battle of contrasting worlds. This book is now available on amazon. Please show your support there.

Swearing Off Boys by AshleyMarWrites

Katie Becker is tired of being second choice. She's tired of her friends choosing her last, she's tired of her teachers not giving her the credit she deserves, but most of all she is tired of boys never liking her back. Upon the discovery that her most current crush is crushing on someone else, Katie is distraught. And so is her best friend Rachel. After a party where they destroy her (former) crush's car, Rachel and Kate are forced to work to pay off the damaged. Kate and Rachel make a bet, if Kate can actually swear off boys, Rachel will pay her back for the time she spends working to pay off the damages. If Kate falls into the same patter, Rachel doesn't have to pay her back. Thinking the bet will be easy, Kate hastily agrees. Unfortunately, the boy Rachel chooses for her to not fall in love with in the perfect, and rebellious, Matt Abbott. Kate soon comes to discover that you can't always control how you feel, and maybe you have to fall for someone, not just pick them and then decide to fall for them. Love isn't just something you can decide. And maybe love is so much more than what she used to think. *This is the reworked and re-edited version of this story originally uploaded in 2015. Details have been changed, so I recommend rereading if anyone (for a wonder from all those years ago) plans to keep reading.
