Eleanor Lanigan has finally put her unhappy past behind her. Or so she thinks. 

Feeling worthless when it came to her body and appearance, she's always struggled with social interactions: a result of poor self-esteem and judgemental peers. Now she's changed, having lost the weight and spent a good chunk of money to attempt to fit conventional standards of beauty. High school is over and starting freshmen year at Blackwell University is daunting.

University is a new chapter in her life, a fresh start that she desperately needs to move on,  to forget her emotional baggage. Staying low-key but at the same time having new friends would be a nice change. Meeting the ridiculously handsome Theo Hunter and his friends is one of the many highlights, and soon she finds herself relatively okay mentally.

But old habits die hard, and soon, she discovers herself slipping back to her toxic coping mechanisms. Encountering cruel people who can tear all your efforts to love yourself with a few snarky comments is a new challenge.

It's hard to be at peace with yourself when you don't know what you're worth.All Rights Reserved

Especially athletes who can charm their way into anything. But when Theo James Walker, the charming, confident star of her college soccer team and the most famous womanizer of the campus bumps into her, everything changes. And when they're forced to spend time together, will she be able to control herself and keep her distance from him or will the lines between being friends and something more start to blur, and Sam's carefully built walls begin to crumble. Theo is used to getting what he wants. With his smile, his charm, and his status, he's always the center of attention. But Sam is different. She's not falling for his usual tricks, and that makes her all the more intriguing. As their playful banter turns into something deeper, Theo's determined to find out what makes Sam tick-no matter how many games he has to play. From the thrill of victory to the tension between them, they navigate teasing, chemistry, and unexpected feelings. But when secrets are revealed and stakes rise, will Sam open up, or will Theo have to win her heart the hard way? A story about games, love, and the battles we fight inside ourselves.

The Inceptive Flame⎪✓ by IAmEmmaHey

"Do they not say that a good friendship builds on a ground of lies?" I joke, lightening the mood immediately as his green eyes glint in humor and a smirk falls on his familiar lips. "Do you kiss a lot of your friends, love?" The underlying tones threaten to provoke a blush on my cheeks, but I get myself together. Smirking at him, "Well, of course, is that not the norm?" *********** Dakota Moore is the perfect example of a beautiful disaster. Her wisdom is ready to knock anyone down, her self worth is an exact replica of the way her father raised her, and her pain so intense it screams over every building. She refuses to show anyone what's going on behind closed doors, especially when her lovely father gets the traumatic news that he has an incurable disease. Elijah Black is the spur of the moment kind of guy, he's the one no one ever settles with because of his angry outbursts and rude ways. Even though he throws everyone off, except for when they want sexual advances, he still can't help but feel enthralled by the freckled girl who's hiding so many secrets behind a fake smile. As they clash and try to reject the obvious rush, will they accept their attraction, or is everything just too much? After all, how can two ruined teenagers manage a youthful love without destroying themselves in the process?

Virgin Lips by TheWritingWolf1

Joanna Brooks had her life all planned. She'd have graduated in time, got a great job, had a successful career. In the middle there would have been a relationship or two maybe, but by the age of 25, she'd have been happily in a stable relationship, working for a well known newspaper as journalist. She'd have never guessed, when she was 12, that none of these plans would work out. 28 years old, stuck with a crappy job and no love life whatsoever. Future seemed as bleakas ever. With two new kittens, Joanna was readying herself to start her life as crazy cat lady...but her new neighbor, handsome and lovely photographer Ben Harris, doesn't seem to think it that way, as he gets ready to revolutionize her whole existence. Trouble is, his own life is not as crystal clear as he pretends it is. Add two pervasive friends determined to close the chapter in Joanna's life called "virginity" by hooking her up with their cute brother, plus an unsettling return, and you get Joanna's adventure of a lifetime. DISCLAIMER This story is intended for all those girls that have troubles seeing themselves as the beautiful beings they are. This is for you, beautiful girls. Be yourself. Don't be ashamed of you are. Just embrace your own unique nature. Be chubby, skinny, shy, introvert, extrovert, weird, crazy, lovely...whatever it is, just BE YOURSELF.

"Theo. If I'm not mistaken? Isn't this yours?" He extended a hand, holding my penguin printed handkerchief. My eyes couldn't have gotten so wide. I quickly swiped it out of his grasp. "Ah, t-thank you." I stuttered before walking away and out of the school, but before I did, I heard a deep chuckle behind me that I guessed was from Hunter. *** Theodore Willshire, attractive, sassy, incredibly talented and extremely intelligent. His goal is to find love. But because of his sexual preference, it's not always easy. But he has his eye on one boy. Hunter Fierro. I guess you could say he is... the cliche heartthrob of the school. He's known as the kindest, accepting and can literally make anyone fall in love with him if he wants. How will the two of them meet? Easy! They just have to recall their past... Right? As they blindly step foot into Sophomore Year. Theo will make unexpected friends, allies and enemies, maybe even meet the love of his life! What if one day, a mysterious being approaches him with an offer that seems normal at first but can change Theo's life?
