"The answer is 'A,'" I say, keeping my voice light and kind.

Carter snorts from beside me. "No, it's 'C.'"

Bingo. I was hoping he'd say that. "The question clearly asks you to round to the nearest tenth. If I'm not mistaken, which I don't believe I am, answer 'C' has two decimal places."

I smirk as his mouth twitches into a frown. We're still standing.

"Very well, Miss. Jones," Mr. Neilson says, projecting another question.

"I can't stand you," Carter mumbles in my ear.

I turn my head towards him, pressing my lips against his ear. "Then sit the fuck down, Conners," I whisper. "I'm winning."

...

Fairridge Prep is for the best of the best.

Sadie Jones, stubborn and clever, is set on being the best. Returning from winter break feeling, more so than ever, that she has stolen her sister's dream, Sadie is determined to spend the rest of Junior year proving that she deserves everything she's worked towards.

Carter Conners, notorious flirt (only when it comes to Sadie), will do anything it takes to not spend the rest of his life working at his parents' diner. Whether it's running for the track team or debating, Carter is always competing, and competing to win.

Sadie and Carter have been rivals since freshman year, constantly bickering and trying to best each other. But when the rivals are thrown into a week long debate competition that, along with getting the top spot on the Principal's List, will guarantee one of them the title of Valedictorian next year, they find themselves enjoying each other's company more than they would've ever expected. 
	
And it leaves them wondering: "Do we really hate each other?"

"He definitely wants to sleep with you," he taunts. "Excuse me?" I look at him weirdly, "What are you even talking about." "The way he touched your arm. That's what people do when they wanna fuck someone." He looks down at his paper and continues to sketch his patterns. I get an idea and scoot my chair closer to his. I lean forward and bring my lips up to his ear, very gently. "Well, that's what you do." He snaps his head towards me like he knows what I'm going to say next. "Do you wanna fuck me?" I whisper, making sure to look at him in awe. I hope it has an even better effect since our faces are closer. He opens his mouth to say something but hesitates. His eyes are everywhere but mine. When he finally catches my stare, he pushes my chair back to where it was before with his foot. "You are such a smart-ass. Would it hurt to swallow your ego for two seconds? Not everything's about you," he argues. "Maybe. I mean- I've swallowed worse," I shrug with a petty smile. *** Lavender Quinn has always struggled with her mental health but somehow managed to always stay at the top of her class... until her senior year.

He croaks his head and his winning expression makes me think I said something wrong, something to give him the upper hand. „So you took that as an insult, huh? Or were you rather disappointed?", the corners of his lips twitch, almost making him smile and he looks down at me, challengingly. „What? No! Of course I wasn't-" „That's it, isn't it?", he interrupts me and steps closer, if that was even possible. Suddenly he lifts his hand and pushes my chin upwards, ever so gently, so I'm looking right in his eyes, „you wanted me to say... what exactly? That's the reason you came to me when Theo wouldn't leave you alone as well, right? You wanted to be close to me." I wanted to be close to him? He was the one practically pinning me against the wall right now. I press my right pointy finger into the bare skin of his chest, pushing him away from me with it. „I've said it to you once, Nikolai, and I'll say it one more time so even you can comprehend it. You're. Not. That. Damn. Important. Not everyone wants to be close to you. Not everyone cares for you attention. Not everyone, and certainly not me!" And with that I brush past him, not turning around when walking away. I hurry around a corner, until I'm out of his sight. Only then do I allow myself to slow down. Only then do I allow myself to breathe. Only then do I allow myself to touch the part of my jaw where his hand had traced my skin. ~~~ June Lockwood loves to win. Nikolai Coleman cannot afford to loose. When the two of them meet at Everlance Academy, the most elite boarding school for competitive athletes in all of England, it's like stars colliding. It is yet to be discovered whether they will send sparks flying or cause an explosion with irreversible consequences.
Tainted Genius by Nikki_Colt
35 parts Ongoing Mature
At Whitmore University, only the rich, the brilliant, and the dangerous survive. Ryan Shaffer is none of the above. She's here on scholarship, laser-focused, and more interested in staying at the top of the class than making friends. So when the class rankings drop and she sees her name in second place, she's not shocked. What shocks her... is who's in first. Carter Grayson. She's never seen him in a single lecture. Never heard his name. And yet there he is, one spot above her. Infuriatingly smug. Maddeningly attractive. And worst of all? Unbothered. Carter is everything Ryan can't stand: reckless, flirtatious, filthy rich-and somehow, smarter than her. But the deeper she digs, the more the mystery unravels. Because Carter Grayson has secrets no one talks about. And Ryan? She might be the only one bold (or stupid) enough to challenge him. At Whitmore, power is inherited, not earned. But Ryan's done playing by their rules. --- His lips were inches away from my ear and the heat from his breath sent my body into complete shock. "I'm an asshole," he said, almost breathless. I wanted to agree because wherever that admission came from it was the truth. "I only know how to hurt people," he said again. More feverishly this time. "You're worse," I claimed. "Than an asshole. You're worse." "I know," he mumbled. Pain etched in his face. "Why the unexpected confession?" "Cause you were right," he said, leaning back - severing the connection before it had even formed. "I'm not worth it."

"What the hell did you do!?" I heard a feminine voice behind me. I groaned and turned around to meet a very angry face. I have never seen a girl this pissed before and honestly speaking, I am a little bit afraid. "She knew what she was getting into. Everyone knows I am player and I never stick to one girl." I shrugged and turned around to walk away. I didn't even take one step when I felt a firm hand on my t-shirt. She took a fist full of my shirt and turned me around so I was facing her. She then held my collar. Damn, she is almost the same height as me and if I would have been any normal guy, I would be terrified of her. "You don't treat girls like trash, asshole. She has feelings, she is not some toy that you got bored from after playing for a while. Apologize to her." She said through gritted teeth pointing towards Leah who was crying her eyes out. I noticed the crowd that started forming around us. I shrugged her hand away from my t-shirt and glared at her. "I will not apologize to anyone." I said slowly through gritted teeth. She is starting to piss me off. No one clashes me and no one stands against me. Even though I am new here, everyone knows that. I saw her eyes go blank and before I could duck, her fist made contact with my face and I felt sharp pain coursing through my nose. I held my nose tight and felt warm liquid flowing to my lips. Olivia Claire is a 16 year old high scholar. She is a fighter who never took anyone's shit and is famous for it. She mostly minds her own business occasionally helping people that might need her. Carter Grayson is a 16 year old guy recently transferred to Olivia's high school. Tall, handsome guy with lean figure, hazel eyes, brown hair and smile to die for. He has been known to be a player in his last high school and he plans on continuing that identity. So, what happens when a typical bad boy clashes with a not-so-nerd bad girl.

Stephanie Walker - straight-A student, sweet, pretty, and every parent's dream. Her life is perfectly planned out... until her senior year trip throws her into the chaotic orbit of the school's golden boy. Now her final year in high school isn't looking so simple. "Don't let me catch you, cupcake," his voice boomed from downstairs, and I took off running. I ducked behind a pole, heart racing, trying to calm my nerves. Way to go, Stephanie, my subconscious snarked. His footsteps echoed closer. "Where are you, cupcake?" he called out playfully. Like I'd actually tell you, I thought, holding my breath. Silence. Then, warm fingers snaked around my waist, and I didn't need to turn to know it was him. "Found you," he whispered in my ear, and a shiver zipped down my spine. "How?" I breathed, turning to face him. His smirk told me he knew exactly what he was doing to me. Get it together, fool, I mentally scolded myself. "Want the sugarcoated version or the truth?" he teased. I raised a brow at him. "I could smell you from a mile away," he whispered, tucking a lock of hair behind my ear. Butterflies. So many freaking butterflies. "That was the sugarcoated version," he added with a grin. I blinked, narrowing my eyes. "The pole didn't hide you well. Your cardigan was sticking out," he shrugged. And then came the smirk. "Now, time for my revenge." I barely had time to process before something soft and powdery rained down on me. I wiped my face. Flour. He did not just dump flour on me even if I started it. Mature, much? I thought bitterly. Poker face on. "Real mature," I said, brushing past him with fake annoyance. Time to activate drama mode. "Come on, babe, you can't be mad..." he called after me. This book is everything. You NEED to read this.

[COMPLETE] Sorry this may be cringe, it was written very long ago A seemingly ordinary, working college girl meets a cool, undeniably sexy boy with millions of followers at his feet. How will their completely different lives allow, or prevent them from getting what they want? Expect some drama, flirty lines, steamy scenes, funny best friends, and perhaps, an overall epic love connection. ~ Carter came around the corner as his eyes darkened with a predatory gaze. Oh no. He took a step forward, minimalizing the distance with every dominating stride, as I froze in my spot. My breath hitched as his arms finally encircled my waist and his eyes locked with mine. In one swift motion, he flipped my body so my back was pressed against his chest and hands gripped the curve of my hips. "What game are you trying to play at Valerie?" he spoke in a husky voice. Goosebumps danced along my skin as his hot breath fanned against the shell of my ear and his fingertips lit a trail of blazing heat along the length of my arm. Mentally shaking myself from the trance of that which is Carter Bryson, I tilted my head towards him and whispered; "One where you'll lose." Quickly escaping his hold on me before the tension became unbearable, I spun on my heel to face him and slowly backed away towards the exit. "Good luck though." I added mischievously. With a smirk and a devilish glint in his eyes that could even give hell a run for its money, he replied; "I'm not a player though, baby. I'm the gamemaker." ~ ❗️Mature content.

"What is your type, then?" I jolt, his question catching me off guard. Rolling my head to the side to look at him, blades of grass press against my cheek. Thank god he's not watching me because he can't see the war happening inside of my head. On the contrary, Miles eyes are fluttered shut, one of his hands resting on his stomach. Every inch of his dark skin is illuminated by the moon, like angels poured silver glitter over him. There's no part of his body that isn't tastefully sculpted, almost like he took a shearing knife to his muscles before coming here simply to carve out a perfect body to tease me with. His t-shirt pulls taunt with each breath. The fabric catches on his muscles. The words are caught in the back of my throat. You. You have always been my type. Instead, I snort. "Whatever it is, it sure as hell wasn't her." - - - Parker Graham is totally content to be living his normal life. He has everything a teenage boy could dream of: rich parents, a nice car, crazy athletic skills, the star spot on the football team, and girls from around the state chasing his every move. But that contentment is stirred up when Miles Holt moves into town.

And, to Parker's dismay, it's love at first sight. In order to keep his life straight and continue the image of perfection, Parker cannot let out the secret of his sexuality due to his scholarships and quarterback reputation on the line. Miles shouldn't get attached regarding a court law for his messed up family. They won't risk everything just to have one shot at keeping each other in the end... will they?
