I've been in love with Maya Garcia since I saw her for the first time in seventh grade. I know it's cliche, and I know it sounds unrealistic, but I swear it's the truth. 

She was everything I wanted in a girl and more, and It didn't take more than three hours for me to figure that out. Maya was feisty, outspoken, confident, and she didn't change herself for anyone. She was undoubtedly herself, and it was intoxicating. She was perfect. 

But there was just one tiny thing getting in the way of having her all to myself: Maya Garcia just so happened to be my sister's best friend, which made her completely, one hundred percent off limits. 

What are the fucking odds, right?

A Poet's Secret by ookayooh

Being in love with your best friend isn't the ideal life situation but for Zora, it's her only life situation. Secretly harboring her feelings for her best friend, Sierra, Zora pours her emotions into her journal in the form of poetry. After years of keeping her attraction for her friend at bay and trying to deny her feelings by forcing herself to love a boy who unconditionally loves her, Zora's favorite emotional outlet becomes the cause of her life falling apart as the truth finally comes out. ***** It was happening again. It was dark, sunset, I waited for her to be done with volleyball practice 'because she was my ride'. Somehow we wandered from the gym to the football field and we were sitting at the very top of the bleachers staring at each other. Her dark hair mirrored the direction of the wind, the setting sun being replaced by the brightness of her smile. We were sitting so close I could feel her warmth. It was an unusual situation. Friends don't do this. We held eye contact for a long time before I couldn't take it anymore and just closed my eyes. It wasn't real, she was just my friend. Then, I felt her tuck a strand of my curly hair behind my ear. That with the chill of the night sent shivers down my spine and a swarm of butterflies attacked my stomach. I reopened my eyes. If she didn't want me, why did she look at me that way? I held her hand and I held it for so long because I didn't know if we'd have another moment like this. We talk and laugh and she tells me I'm pretty and I ask her if she'd just noticed that and we laugh again. I realize the feelings I felt in that moment were not just the intense feelings of attraction that I felt every time I was with her. Warmth flooded to my face and if it wasn't for my dark complexion, my blush would be noticeable. I look into her dark-colored eyes and I come to the conclusion that I'm royally fucked and I'm probably also in love.

Life long with you? by thewrittenHE4RTS

"**Whispers of a new beginning**" "How could I forget that getting girls is just like getting another mission-if you don't get one, you try to get another-again?" It was obvious from her voice that she was hurt. "How can I help? It's only an everyday thing." His response simply shattered the broken pieces of her heart. "I don't want you to show these cheap habits of yours to my employees." This time, she spoke a little too loudly and appeared to be jealous when she saw her husband flirting with her own employee. "Knowing me, I don't think it should bother you." He replied "But it is. You should be within your limits as my husband, at the very least in my office."She noticed that her employee's attention had strayed towards them, so she warned him in a firm yet hushed voice. "Husband, Do you "personally" agree with this statement?" Utsav asked in mockery. Maya went on in an agitated voice, "At least for them, you are so behave like one." "Do you really want me to behave like "husband"?" Utsav questioned, gazing directly into her eyes. When two people who were best friends before becoming husband and wife are compelled to marry because of unforeseen circumstances, despite having completely different personalities and values. Let's join their journey and witness how their love blossoms, whether they can hold onto their priceless friendship, which they both treasure and how their relationship evolves. Start : Jun 15- 2024

[excerpt] Chaos & the Geek (Grace Grayson Security Book 1) by writeriz

*now available on all retailers* Amber How do you politely refuse when the only guy to star in any of your dirty fantasies has just offered to put you up for the foreseeable future and your brother's just accepted like you were in fact still thirteen and couldn't make decisions for yourself? You don't. And, you end up with a roommate who wears a very good elegant mask over the rough and tumble, bad boy core I remember far too well. Only, it's ten years later and I'm even nerdier than I used to be. It's ten years later and I couldn't look worse. It's ten years later and I can't keep one guy. It's ten years later and my brother still teases me mercilessly in front of him. It's ten years later and Kit somehow looks even better than the guy I spent my formative years crushing on. Except, there might just be a smouldering heat in Kit's eyes that suggests he's not quite as out of my league as I thought. Just maybe, this geek is about to get a whole lot of chaos. Kit When I find out about my best mate's little sister's situation, the offer is out of my mouth before I can stop it; Hawk's like a brother to me even if Amber's never looked twice at me. I could never tell if she was scared of me or hated me. But the deal is done. She's going to bring her bedraggled self upstairs to my penthouse and live with me for as long as she needs. I see the pain she hides away, I see the lack of confidence despite how smart she is, how good. If there's something I've learned, it's that confidence makes all the difference. So, it becomes my mission to help Amber find her confidence. But I find more than confidence in her and suddenly I'm seeing my best mate's little sister completely differently. Except, there might be something in the way she smiles at me that gives me hope I'm not as far out of her league as I thought. It might just be time that this chaos gets a little geek.

Finally (m.h. x l.f.) by m_marie_heart

Maya and Lucas have been friends since 7th grade. Riley and Farkle have been friends since 1st grade. Zay and Smackle have been friends since 8th grade. But what happens when Maya's feelings grow? What happens when Riley and Farkle start getting butterflies in their stomach whenever they look at each other? What happens when Zay softens whenever he looks in Smackle's eyes? What happens when Maya crushes on Lucas, or when Riley and Farkle crush on each other, or when Zay starts crushing on Smackle? Heartbreak, love, friendship, laughter, quiet kisses, whispered conversations, memories, and a whole lot of drama, that's for sure. Oh, and I forgot to mention, a couple of... New, and complicated students. Get ready, for a long, bumpy ride. (So...basically I think the GMW writers made a stupid decision in not making Maya and Lucas endgame, so I want to fix that with this fic. There is going to be Lucaya, riarkle, and Zay and Smackle pairing. Enjoy!)

Meet Me After Class by LeighFrankie

So who will it be for this hopelessly unromantic girl? The brooding best friend? Or the young and unquestionably attractive substitute teacher? They say every person is worth the potential heartbreak of relationships not working out. That's why people still take that leap. But not me. Never been kissed, never had a boyfriend-I was pretty convinced by now that I was one of those mega-rare exceptions to the rule; the unlucky sap was just not worth the risk. And I'm totally fine with that. Romance and heartbreak? Not worth the hype in my book. Until life decided to get all snarky on me. "Fooled you, idiot! You'll get your love story...just not at all how you wanted it." Before I know it, I'm swept up in romantic turmoil more dramatic than anything my wildest playwright fantasies could dream up. Getting these very real, very adult feelings for the first time is bloomin' confusing. Lines will blur, tough choices will be made, and hearts will be deliciously broken. So who will it be for this once-hopelessly unromantic girl? My brooding best friend? Or my young substitute teacher?

Riley and Devin by RoseAndBone

"How many romance books do you read?" Devin asks me. I shrug. "I like them," I say. I keep browsing, running my fingers along the spines. "So, you like romance then?" he asks me. I nod. "What's your favorite part of a love story?" "I like the very first kiss, but I like the second one even more," I say. I bite my lip and look at him. Oh. My. God. What the hell am I doing? Am I flirting? I think that I'm actually flirting. With Devin. Devin, my best friend. I have officially lost my mind. I should probably stop. But I can't seem to. "Will you grab me that one?" I ask.

"What are you doing to me, Isabella?" I was left speechless but before my brain could even register his words, his lips were on mine. My body was immediately ignited with an unknown fire.

Every Little Thing by khuber2

' "Where are they, Jace? We are going to be late for class." I stated in an irritated tone. Jace just chuckled at me and clapped me on the shoulder. "Chill, they are almost here." I rolled my eyes and unlocked my phone, wanting to collect my rewards on my game. Soon after, I heard the front doors of the school open, and every other male in the hall started to whistle at who I assumed was the girls. I'm sure they were strutting in and probably wearing outfits that couldn't even be classified as clothes. Once the girls stopped in front of us, Amy went directly to Jace. At least, that's what I could tell from my perifrial view of them. I kept my eyes on my phone as Amy introduced the new girl, and once Amy said her name, my head snapped up, the grip I had on my backpack tightening profusely. My eyes instantly landed on hers as she started back at me with those bright hazel eyes. I was instantly confused, shocked, happy, and pissed off all at the same time. There in front of me stood the one person who could always bring me to my knees in seconds, the one person that made my heart beat out of my chest with just one look. In front of me stood her, Lily.'

"I'm sure," I said, my voice unwavering. "I'm very sure, Kali." Kali smiled a radiant, breathtaking smile. "Okay Bella," she whispered into my ear. She nibbled my earlobe, earning a moan from me.

An Unexpected Moment by caromerri

... that changes everything Sarah was starting her junior year of high school. Looking at herself in the mirror, she saw a pretty average blonde haired, blue eyed, teenager. She was neither in the popular group, nor one of the many cliched outsiders. Sarah was a nobody. She liked to blend in and lay low. It was her way out of not only this town, but her house. No one knew it, but her father was a high functioning alcoholic that often took his anger out on his family. With her older sister now in college, it had turned to her more often. Laying low in general was a good strategy. Across town, Ryan was prepping for his final year in high school. While he wasn't the stereotypical quarterback of the football team, he did fit into the popular crowd. His sports of choice included basketball and soccer, either of which might line him up for a scholarship next year. Ryan had a group of close friends and a lot of adoring acquaintances. It wasn't easy juggling his athletics and keeping the grades up, but he was just that good. The supporting parents didn't hurt either. It might be a cliché romance, but it will be fun to see what the year and beyond holds. ------------------------------------------ This is a story I wrote years ago, or at least partially wrote. As I transcribe it here, I have tried to update it a bit and give the characters/story more depth than what I had when I was younger. Hopefully it all gets pulled together!
