17 year old, Elena Hawkins thought she was going to be done with boys forever. What Nate Thompson did to her in the fifth grade was unacceptable. She didn't want to deal with heartbreak ever again. Without Nate in the picture anymore, her normal teenage life was going really well. She had straight A's, two incredible best friends, and wonderful parents. Her happy normal teenage life was all going to change. Forced to get along with the popular people, in their all too famous hang out spot. She meets Tyler Black along the way, and her whole world flips upside down. With his innuendo jokes, good looks, gorgeous black hair, and bad boy smirk, Elena can't seem to stay away. She learns that there's more to Tyler than everyone thinks. A side that she's only seen of him is shown. The school's bad boy isn't all that bad after all. Will Tyler fall for her? Will feelings be reciprocated? Or will he break her heart just like Nate did? ~*~ "That's the first time he's called me by my first name. He usually calls me Cutie. I don't think I've ever liked the sound of my name so much, until now. He made it sound better. He makes it better." ~Elena Hawkins "Do I make her nervous? I don't want that. I want her to be herself around me. Show me who she really is, not what everyone else sees. I wanna see the real Elena Hawkins. And that is my mission." ~Tyler Black #95 in Teen Fiction - 03/09/17 Copyright ©2016 by buttercup_roses All Rights Reserved.
Highschool Sweethearts by K-good
16 parts Complete Mature
Katelyn has been in and out of the foster system since her mother died when she was young. After her father gets put in jail again, she gets sent to live with the Thomas family. The Thomas's are a very well-off family with four boys. Their house is usually the main hangout for the boys and their friends. Kate hasn't ever lived with siblings before, let alone this many boys, so it's a big change for her. Daniel is your typical high school football player; he's got the looks, the muscles, talent, and even the overbearing dad who wants him to go pro. Daniel, however, really couldn't care less about a career in football, he loves the game, but it's his dad's dream for him to go pro, not his own. At least not anymore. He spends most of his free time away from his house and hanging out at either the Thomas or the Copperfield house. He can't wait to go off to college with his friends and get away from his dad and the stupid little town he grew up in. How will things change for them over the next year? This will be a series of 4, but the other books will be spin-offs and can be read as stand-alone books. They will, however, be published in chronological order. Full warning, this book is much shorter than I intend on making the spin-offs. I was planning on writing book two as the first in the series but found myself needing more of a prequel to all three other books, and so I chose to write something from their high school years. Bonus points for giving Daniel a love interest that was more than just a name.
