Anna Cooper was never your average girl. She was perfect, and she had it all. The fame, the fortune, the beauty, she even had the boy every girl has in her dreams, Harry Evans, her male counterpart. Except, all of this was never what she wanted. With help from a few friends, will she be able to find the courage to break the chains that bind her to this torture? To break the status quo, to defy the code of the highest club, The Supreme Circle, to just be able to be herself? This is her life, and she wants nothing to do with it. [Shoutout to my sometimes amazing always annoying sister for the gorgeous story cover! <3]

Mess
"I'm not good for you, Scott." I say, my voice sounding louder than it did in my head. Scott rubs his face in exasperation and groans before turning to face me. "Sky, you are. You are and that's why I'm in love with you, because you're good and I hate it because I'm constantly afraid that you'll push me away like you did before, but I love it at the same time because you make me want to be good too, to give a shit about things. Christ, I quit smoking for you and it's been hard but I want to make you happy. Because you are good, and I know because you've been through so much crap and you are still so fucking beautiful, inside and out. If you leave me now I won't be able to cope, please. Please, Sky." At this point his hands are covering mine, kissing them with endless pleads and his eyes are glazed over and impassioned, burning with the fire of a thousand suns, boring into mine as he gives himself to me and I'm utterly overthrown. ******************************************************************* Boys. Make-ups. Break-ups. Parties. Drinking. School. Friends. Enemies. In other words, being 16-going-on-17. Sky Brodie is heading towards the end of Sophomore year in California, dragging along with her an endless bane of uncomfortable predicaments.

His Sweet Lies
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.

DREW #COMPLETED
*****-"I've told you I'm not good for you." -he whispered still kissing her, lifting her so that her legs were already around his waist, now bringing them both back to the bed, laying on top of her proceeding to kiss her like it was the only thing he ever wanted to do in his life. But she responded with the same passion, every kiss, every touch, now taking off his shirt and unzipping his pants. She wasn't thinking. She surrendered. .... -"Fuck you Emma for doing this to me." -he whispered hearing her painful moan once he was inside of her. He felt cheated but he couldn't stop.***** This is a story about Andrew Smith, a 17-year old highschool student who is known not only as the school's bad boy but also a criminal and gangster with troubled life. His only goal is to move out of his home that he shares with his always drunk stepfather Bill and take his little sister with him. But once he meets Emma Garcia, straight A's popular but innocent girl from his school, the question is, will his plan change? This is a spin-off story from "Now You Are Mine" involving the backstory of a "Drew" character. Even though this story is connected to NYAM, you don't have to read both of them. Parts of those two stories do intervene and they share the same timeline. I suggest you read them both, but again it's not crucial for understanding each one of them. Also, the story is not suitable for those younger than 18 since it includes mature scenes of sex, violence, abuse etc., which are not by any means condoned by the author. With that said, thank you for reading and I hope you'll enjoy it! ps. I'm updating often.Complete
Hades
~"You don't know me." I snap. "Sure, I don't. We've only spent more than half of our lives together. But I don't know you. Like at all, I don't." He says sarcastically, making me stand up from my chair and stand in front of him with crossed arms. He keeps seated on my bed, looking just as angry as myself. I study his face for a really short second and internally groan. Puberty did really hit him good. ~ · Why would Hades think that after two years of not seeing Emma and not answering her calls, she would still be the same?

Yet they remember and decide it would be best to just avoid each other. Well, they seem to do a really bad job.Complete
