Even Angels Fall by kanne53

Christina has had her life figured out for as long as she could remember. The plan was always to get into Harvard and become a journalist. So what if she doesn't have much of a social life? She's got friends. Even one who's pretty close. A busy social calender never fit into the plan. And a boyfriend certainly didn't. Especially with her father's strict rules. Besides there'd be plenty of time for all that later, right? Mike doesn't know what he's doing past the next week. His only plan for the future includes turning out to be nothing like his father. And possibly finding a girl who actually likes him for himself rather than for his face and social status, for a change. He's beginning to think they're all the same, though - pretty and nice to be around for a while, but pretty shallow. Mike and Christina have known each other forever but haven't been close for years. They soon start to question their priorities and why in the world they let their friendship fall apart so long ago. Can their relationship, still so young and fragile, withstand what's ahead?

Always And Forever Till Infinity by IvyDIA

We are moving and I didn't knew about it until now.... "You all are coming with us too. Sophie got enrolled in Architecture and Designing college of Los Angeles and Liam will finish his school there." She lays out her plan and no one thought what I would do if I leave everything behind here and I am not included here again. "Ok so everything is already planned. Sophie got enrolled in the college already, dad has set his business and I get to know this now." I laugh humorlessly pushing away my plate . "what about me mom? Dad?" I look at them for an answer. "What about my life here? My career? My plans about life here? You didn't thought to tell me before taking decision on my behalf?" "I never had a courage to ask before but, why do you both hate me so much? What have I done to always get your hatred?" I ask as the tears threaten my eyes but I won't allow them to leave my eyes. Ivy has craved for love and attention her entire life and Tyler comes into her life and sweeps her off her feet. He fills her life with all the happiness and love she deserves. She is a shy, innocent and a nerd. He is the most handsome boy of the college whom everyone knows. She likes to read books and doesn't like to be noticed. He is a photographer and loves adventure. They are polar opposites but fate brings them together. Most of the people she had close to her heart left her and Tyler is the only one she has left. Will he stay? How will she deal with the losses she has faced? ------------------------------------------- #1 - bakery (28/07/2022) Started on- September 25 , 2020

What I Should Have Done ✓ by katrin_writes

|*| Ambassador-featured |*| 2022 Bootcamp Mentee |*| Grace Bellamy knows exactly how her junior year at a prestigious New England liberal arts college will go: good grades, an established social niche, and a clear vision for the future, all to stay on track for grad school and a successful career in psychology. None of these plans include the charming, but unavailable soccer player John Jay. But then her carefully constructed plans threaten to collapse like a house of cards: her academic goals are put in jeopardy, old family wounds break open, and, on top of all, trying not to fall for the athlete who represents all the privilege she despises proves more and more difficult-and leaves her boyfriend less and less understanding of their friendship. When given an opportunity and an ultimatum, Grace is forced to question if her values and beliefs are really her own. Suddenly she stands to lose it all. Can she figure out in time what she truly wants?

Peripheral Vision | ✓ [NOW PUBLISHED AS HUNTINGTON AVENUE] by Eclipsityy

*~*~* REWRITTEN AND PUBLISHED AS HUNTINGTON AVENUE ON MY PROFILE *~*~* Zachary West has it all. Near-perfect grades, a kind, loving family, and is a guitar prodigy. Seems like a wonderful life, right? Most good things come with at least one catch, though: He's blind. Following a move from Washington to New York, Zach struggles to fit in with everyone else. Little did he know that high school across the country would be extremely different than back home. He would endure new town, new home, new friends, but also new hardships. Will Zach find a way to fit in with his new surroundings? Then, there's Kelsey Davis, one of the popular girls of the school. She's beautiful, charming, and, of course, she can be a bit questionable. Luckily, there's almost always a side to people that nobody sees. Hanging out with the wrong crowd has gotten to Kelsey's nerves, but she doesn't want to leave her friends. Having such a reputation with the entire school has extremely high standards, and she can't meet them anymore. Will everything change when she notices a unique boy among the crowds who might need a friend? *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Disclaimer: This is the very first book that I ever wrote. It was created in the Fall of 2018 by a 15-year-old girl who had no idea how to construct and develop a story. It's still a very precious story to my heart and I will always keep it published here. :) Word Count: ~70,000-75,000

Which made me wanna stay longer..... Oh if I had signal on my phone which I don't because this camp is in the middle of friggin no where I'd probably tweet about this.

He's the best thing that has ever happened to me in a long time. I am well boy crazy for him. It may sound like I'm obsessed with him but I'm not. I swear.
