"I have always wished to be normal." Her words rang in my ears as I drove faster in the thundering rain. I had to get there in time. I had to... I had to... I saw her figure as soon as I approached the bridge. Before I could even open my door, I watched as her shadow fell into the murky depths of the river. I couldn't speak. No words could ever explain the pain of that one moment.

Shadows between us  by AngheJB
14 parts Ongoing Mature
It started with a glance-fleeting but unforgettable. Dahlia Rivers was everything Kayden McCallister wasn't: dazzling, popular, the golden thread that held their high school together. She glided through life effortlessly, her laughter a melody that stopped the world. Kayden? She was invisible, a shadow in the back of the room, safe in her silence. Kayden had grown used to pretending she didn't want more. It was easier that way. But something about Dahlia pulled her in, like a moth to a flame. Dahlia wasn't just beautiful; she was magnetic, commanding attention without trying. She was everything Kayden wished she could be-and everything she could never have. Their paths weren't meant to cross. But one rainy afternoon, they did. Kayden was hidden in the library, her refuge from the noise of the world, when Dahlia appeared, escaping the storm. Their eyes met-Dahlia's bright and curious, Kayden's wide with panic. "Hey," Dahlia said, her smile disarming. Kayden only nodded, convinced it would end there. But Dahlia kept coming back. She sat with Kayden, asked questions, stayed even when her friends called her away. Kayden noticed everything: the way Dahlia laughed, the way her perfume lingered, the way her presence made Kayden's chest ache. Dahlia talked about boys, her boyfriend, and all the things Kayden could never give her. Kayden tried to pull away, to protect herself, but Dahlia wouldn't let her go. "Why are you avoiding me?" Dahlia asked one evening, her voice soft but insistent. "I'm not," Kayden lied. "Yes, you are. Did I do something wrong?" The tenderness in Dahlia's voice was too much. Kayden couldn't tell her the truth: that she was falling for someone who could never be hers. Instead, she forced a fragile smile. "No. Everything's fine." But it wasn't. Dahlia belonged to the light, radiant and untouchable. And Kayden? She was nothing but shadow.

*EDITORS' CHOICE 2021*After falling for her senior year teacher, Louise learns a harsh lesson on what adulthood isn't. Louise has some trauma to unpack. Heartbreak's a bitch, and her first relationship had been anything but normal. Thinking herself mature for her age, her affair with Mr. Cain started swooningly well. Except things ended quite abruptly. It's a lot for a seventeen year old to handle. But who's really at fault for what happened? Who even is Mr. Cain, and what is he hiding? From the wreckage of her naivety and self-esteem, can Louise save her friendships and rebuild herself? Our love songs aren't telling the whole truth. How can this be? In this tale of vulnerability, adolescence and painful reckoning, the arrogance of youth demands a price. * "'You're what, Louise?' he asked. 'You're sorry? What am I supposed to do here? How can I turn this around? How can I tell you that everything you want and feel is reciprocated, when I have to go back to work and pretend none of it happened?' 'I don't know the answer!' I cried. 'Neither of us do.' I threw my hands up in defeat. He caught them before they could fall. 'But how do I go back to living without your words?' His voice became a whisper. He squeezed my fingers tightly, closing his eyes and bringing them to his chest. 'I need how you make me feel, Luiza. I need it to feel alive. I won't stay away. No one's made me feel this good before. And I can't stand myself for wanting what I want. What do I do?' I was a violin bow on the verge of splintering. Every inch of me pulsed with an ache that began from the marrow of my bones. Fate had brought us here. At this crossroads of ours, there were a hundred different choices to make. A thousand different lifetimes to choose from, stemming from and decided entirely by my next choice. And in the end, I chose incorrectly. I held his face between my hands, feeling the echoing pulse of his skin. I brought his face to mine. I kissed him."

In which I fall in love with my brother's best friend. ***** "Don't pretend like you don't feel anything." His voice is low, sending shivers down my spine. "What do you mean?" "You know damn well what I mean." "I don't know what you're talking about." I pretend to ignore him, flipping some pages in my book. "Come on. I have all these assignments waiting. Aren't you supposed to teach me tonight?" "It depends on what you want me to teach." He smirks, his voice sounding even more dangerous. ***** I thought that my brother was the most popular guy in school, but as soon as I step into my university life, I realize how wrong I was. Meet Vaughn Cooper, his best friend. The guy is the epitome of every girl's dream. Godlike handsome. The quarterback. He's got the looks, and he's got the brain. Come on, he's got the scholarship to one of the most prestigious universities in the country, while I have just barely passed the entrance examination after long years of struggle during high school. How could a guy who worked that hard and deserves nothing more but adoration be labeled as a bad boy? Yeah, the answer is simple. The moment we lock eyes, I realize something as I stare into those piercing, amber eyes. He's not every girl's dream. He's every girl's nightmare. In my case, MY nightmare. Calm down, heart. Our story hasn't even started. ***** THE SPENCERS SERIES BOOK #1 © 2020 Anya Jayvyn. All Rights Reserved.

#1 Teen Fiction | #1 Young Adult | #1 Romance "We all need someone to drive us mad." - The Wombats. He stared arrogantly down at me, a smirk plastered across his face. I sneered up at him with distaste, wanting to wrap my fingers around his neck and strangle that smirk off of him. He brushed my golden hair from my face, his long, slender fingers sparking electricity in my skin, making my knees wobble together. "Will you ever, forgive me?" he whispered huskily, his eyes intently staring into mine. His face was only mere inches from me. I just needed to reach out a little further to kiss him... "Yeah. Over my dead body." I snapped, before throwing my arms out forcefully, shoving my hands into his chest, pushing him from me. -*-*-*- He, is Carter Williams. I, am Lacey Adams. We were once, inseparable. The 'Golden Couple'. The unbreakable best friends, that everybody envied. Nothing could get between us. A part from being tighter than white on rice, we updated our status from friends to being in a relationship, frequently. We were neighbours, which meant our families were all close and even co-owned houses around our town. This, all is, until the day of my sixteenth birthday. Everything changed. The loving relationship we shared, was severed and torn apart. I couldn't hardly stand to look at him any more, without spitting fire that is. Every day is torture being around him. He was in all my classes at school and the window in my room was even directly aligned with his. So, what happens? My mother's mum gets sick, so dad and her fly out. Just them. Leaving me to stay with Carter and his parents, who are never home. We would be alone. In one house. Under the same roof. If I was insane before, I have no idea what I am now. © 2016 by LaurenJ22.
