All Avery Carter wants is to do well enough in school so she can graduate and move somewhere far, far away and never have to return to her small hometown of Brynhaven, a place where nothing ever happens and where dreams are always crushed.

And then Noah Sanchez and his broken family move to town.

They're new, and they stand out, and Avery decides she wants nothing to do with any of them.

Of course, life's path doesn't always respect the decisions of those who walk it.

Maybe that's a good thing.

(or, a story in which a boy and a girl fall in love, and discover a few things about themselves along the way)

A Shade of Cool by FelixIsWriting

There was only one seat left on the bus. That seat just happened to be taken by his crush, Noah Armstrong. Jacob Green isn't cool. He prefers a book to a party. He prefers history to sports. In fact, look at the definition of 'uncool' and there he would sit, reading. Noah, however, is the definition of cool. The girls want him and the boys want to be him. Jacob was different. He didn't want to be him or be with him. He wanted to be in love with him. As the final day of school comes and Jacob endures a day of work, he finds that there is only one seat left on the bus, that seat happens to be taken by Noah. Little does he know that his life is about to change. Jacob is about to embark on all shades of cool.

Halfway To Forever by blueberrykisses18

They started as classmates, then friends, then something that didn't quite fit any word. The problem? Neither of them were ready to call it love. They never meant to fall for each other. It just happened quietly, in glances that lingered too long and silences that said too much. What started as teasing and shared notes turned into something heavier, something neither of them dared to name. Elena swears she's fine keeping it undefined, even when her heart stumbles every time his eyes find hers. And Noah he hides behind jokes, behind that easy confidence, pretending he doesn't care when he clearly does. It's the kind of almost love that burns slow, the kind that ruins you softly. Between laughter and denial, comfort and confusion, they walk the line between friendship and something more, too scared to cross it, too scared to let go. __ Friends to something less than lovers, more than bestfriends.
