Soulmates by Summer
Andi: When I get assaulted with hot coffee after an already awful day, I don't count on leaving the encounter with a hot new fake boyfriend. Who just happens to be the infamous Silas Livingstone. Hockey star. My big brother's teammate. Incredibly infuriating and annoyingly handsome. However, the bigger shock is that Silas wants to make a deal-if he can get me to fall in love with him by June, then I go out with him for real. Because I'm never one to back down from a challenge, I agree. Besides, there's no way I'm losing this bet. Summer is less than two months away and life isn't a romcom. I mean, it's not as if it's possible to become soulmates by summer... right? Silas- I've got two months to prove to the girl of my dreams that we're meant to be. Though I don't doubt that she'll eventually come around, problem is, I don't know if I can wait that long to call her mine. Andi is the most stubborn, kindhearted, funniest person I've ever met-and she might just deny what I know she feels for me just to win this stupid bet. But I've never been one to back down from a challenge or to give up what I love. Summer is less than 2 months away. 2 months to show Andi just how much I love her, before I could lose her forever. Life may not be one of those romcoms she loves, but I do believe that there are soulmates-and I've finally found mine. There's no way I'm letting her go come summer.

People at school say she's quiet and closed-off, but she's nice to me. She's hiding her awesome self under baggy clothes and the brightest, pinkest hair I've ever seen. I don't understand why she's picked on, and I don't like it. Her medical bills are mounting, so I'm doing something about it. Paige and I pretend to date to remove ourselves from the rumor mill and win the Golden Couple's cash prize.

Faking Love (Complete)
You know the old saying fake it til you make it? Well my best friend took that a little too seriously. Caitlyn came up with a crazy scheme to help me finally get the guy I had been crushing on for three years. Her plan was a little unorthodox to say the least. She decided that her and her boyfriend Colton should stage a break up so I could pretend to date him for a month. He was the quarterback of the football team and the most popular guy in school. She said dating him would make the guys at our school finally stop seeing me as a shy, undateable nerd. She said I would have my pick of any guy after that, including my crush Takashi. It was the most ridiculous plan I had ever heard of. There was no way anyone would actually believe me and Colton were dating. He was the quarterback of the football team. It would have probably been easier to convince the whole school that I was dating the President. The problem was, I knew she was right. It was probably the only way I could get Takashi (my crush) to see me as girlfriend material and I wanted that more than anything in the world. Plus, Caitlyn's crazy schemes usually worked and I was desperate, so I reluctantly agreed to it. The weirdest part of the whole thing was, her boyfriend Colton used to be my best friend before him and her started dating and she gradually took his place as my best friend. That was four years ago and him and I weren't near as close as we used to be. Now he was just my best friend's boyfriend. CONTENT WARNING: Very mature themes & sexual content - 18+ only!
