Before I can help it, I grin ear to ear, and his softened gaze starts to fade. His eyes narrow into slits, "Don't you dare-"

"What do you call a fish wearing a bowtie?"

Instantly, Sawyer frowns, an unimpressed expression on his face. I smile, grabbing his cheeks and squishing them, "Don't make that face!!! C'mon, you gotta ask!! What do you call a fish wearing a bowtie?"

He glares at me, "We're not doing this shit, Mari-"

"Yes, we are!!" I let go of his face, "You ready?!!"

"No."

"I'm gonna say it."

"You better not-"

"SoFISHticated."

"You're a dumbass."

This Story Takes Place in 2023-2024

Marianne Parker and Sawyer Cortez are complete opposites of each other. 

Marianne is a dad joke loving, talented musician who believes in finding the good in everything around her. Always smiling, laughing, kind to everyone, and an optimist. With a bubbly attitude and an outgoing personality, she's always looking to make a new friend. An all-around ray of sunshine.

Sawyer, on the other hand, is a sarcastic, blunt, rude, and pessimistic bookworm. He doesn't believe there could be good in everything. He doesn't smile, doesn't laugh, and isn't interested in making new friends. Let alone, socializing. Hell, he BARELY tolerates his own friends. The total definition of a raincloud.

Marianne's looking for a fresh start, and Sawyer wants a normal year of high school. 

When he meets Marianne, it becomes all too clear that there's something about her he can't ignore. From the way she walks, talks, laughs, and smiles, it's all distracting and unfamiliar to him. And, of course, he doesn't like that. 

In his efforts, he tries to ignore the feelings and avoid HER at all costs. But, that can be hard when the girl in question is EQUALLY interested in him too.

The deserted island by lynndemaazelaare

Heyyy, nice to have you stop by ;) This story is about a group of young people aged 17-20 who wash up on a deserted island.🏝️ They are good friends, but over time they start to notice tensions rising within the group. It happens that several of the guys fall for the same girl, and things go completely wrong. - Juliette often stays close to Emiel, since they're a couple, but her gaze keeps drifting towards Victor, whose sharp humor and self-assured attitude unknowingly intrigue her. She has a slight fear of Victor. - Emiel is Juliette's partner and would do anything to protect her. He's quite jealous, but only when necessary. He's a real man, not a boy. - Victor occasionally throws a challenging look at Emiel, as if silently daring him. Emiel feels more and more uncomfortable. Victor is very smart and cunning, and he would do anything to win Juliette over, convincing her that Emiel isn't right for her, but that he himself is. Victor is the most unreliable, clever, and sly guy. He has his eye on Juliette but makes it all too obvious. He must and will convince her to be with him, showing her that he's the only right one... though that's not actually the case. - Robbe is the smart one in the group. - Gina is clairvoyant. - Amber, who watches all of this unfold, often plays calming melodies on her harp. She has an intuitive gift to sense when tensions rise, and her music usually keeps the group in balance. There is romance, violence, and coarse language, so sensitive readers are warned!! For each sensitive scene, there will be a "T.W.⚠️" present, which will also close with "End of T.W.⚠️". I hope you enjoy the story and give it a chance! Hopefully, I'll get some feedback to guide me. Love you 💕 Lynn x

In the novel by Compact_Disk

READ AT YOUR OWN RISK. I wouldn't be posting new chaps in here since I'll rewrite it from the very beginning. But if you guys like reading with a narcissistic fl then, might as well. Maine Tollison a beauty that's unparalleled by anyone. "Umm excuse me are you describing me?" Her beauty is just beyond words. And she knows it. "You know when you describe me it should be 'Maine Tollison who has pale pink hair with streaks of blue, fair skin, face that's super beautiful. In short a godde-- Hey! Are you listening?!" Being beautiful of course she will aim for the guy who is just like her, a handsomeness unparalleled by anyone and his name is Jake Colton but the problem is, they're not meant for each other. "You've already moved on from the beautiful me? How mean! Wait......, Are you talking about Jake Colton? Well I guess it's alright then" How'd she know this? It's all because she remembered her past life and that she's inside the novel and her role in this novel is to destroy his love with the main character. "You mean me being Margaret in my past life? Well it is a kind of sad life. But right now! I'm willing to take the rollercoaster of emotions!" And since she remembered her past life. Maine has other hobbies aside from being beautiful. "You mean my hobby about the piano? Oh! And also my hobby about having part-time job?! What, is that a bad thing?" This is the story about how an egoistic girl survived from middle school, to her friends, to her family, to her highschool and to her feelings.

Briar by annamurphy112808

Briar has to move to a new place with her mother after she has found a new job. One that can benefit both of them. She now has to go to a new school which she is not looking forward to and meets a boy with who she wants to try new things. But with her mother's past experience with her father, is she able to leave the past in the past? -------- "I'm going to shower," I say and get up. I hear him shuffle on the floor before his voice comes from right behind me. "I'm coming too." He says. I turn around and look at him. "What? No, you shower after me." I say and enter the bathroom. He's right behind me so I playfully push him away. Which did nothing considering his muscles. "Or....we could shower together." He suggests and shoves us both inside, locking the door behind us. -------- Alec Hart is the quiet type. He doesn't talk to anyone who he thinks isn't worth talking to besides his best friend. He's never really had an intimate relationship and is not looking for one, that is until she came. He's taken an interest in her and is willing to wait for an eternity to ensure her happiness.

Purely Arrogant | ✓ by QueenOfTheDorks

He's popular. I have one friend. He's outgoing. I'm quiet. He has a girlfriend. I'm alone. I'm shy and he's purely arrogant. But they say like forces repel and opposites attract. And we're complete opposites. ════════ "Hello, my name is Juliette Hunter and I think you're an asshole" I said to him, turning my body away so I could, once again, try and grab the book I so desperately needed. "Your turn" I added, after a moment of silence, realising that he was too stunned to speak. His recovery was lightning fast however, as he replied with "Hi Juliette, my name is Levi Knight" He paused, allowing his eyes to roam my body, slowly taking me in from head to toe. I looked him in the eyes, defiant in not allowing him to get to me, as my cheeks began to burn. "And I think you could qualify as one of the most beautiful girls I have ever laid eyes on" he continued smoothly. I couldn't think of a smart remark in response to what he had said so I mumbled a "fuck off" before returning to the bookshelf, I was sure my face turned crimson. "Just out of curiosity," Levi continued, now leaning against the bookshelf. I wasn't going to warn him about the fact that it was slowly tipping over. "You're single right?" I wasn't going to tell him that his assumption offended me either. Instead I replied with "Just out of curiosity" I said in a mocking tone "You're single now too, aren't you?" "You're a feisty one, aren't you?" "You're not gonna leave me alone, are you?" I muttered, attempting once more, to grab the book I so badly needed for English. "You're really hot, you know?" "You're really annoying, you know?"

Practice Makes Perfect (A Romantic Comedy) by Pollyf79

AMBY AWARDS TOP PICK 2023 ❤️ "You think I can't act like I'm into you?" He asks in a whisper. He reaches out, and strokes a finger down my cheek, and I feel myself shiver at the touch. "You think I can't convince everyone that I have feelings for you?" His eyes are darker than ever, and any sign of a smile has now vanished. The only word I can think right now to describe him is "smouldering". I have searched many great romance novels (and even more sub-standard ones), and I am yet to find a better synonym for that particular word. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Abigail Watson has always played by the rules. She also constantly strives to be the best at everything she does. So when her boyfriend Declan decides to turn their temporary break into a permanent break-up, she starts to seriously doubt her girlfriend skills. Her new flatmate Ric tells Abby she's not the problem, but how can she believe *him* when he's one of the most annoying guys she's ever encountered? However, when she needs a fake boyfriend to save face in front of Declan, Ric might just be the only man she can turn to . . . Practice Makes Perfect offers you some forced proximity, enemies to lovers, a dash of fake dating, pub quizzes, flatmate frustrations . . . And - of course - an annoying ex, because doesn't everyone have at least one of those??? ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Cover by @LNRoberts1 ❤️

My Lill Vixen(Part 1 Of D Angelo's Series) by belissima966

✨ Under edit mode - Vixen's getting her glow-up💅💕✨ ~ She lives in a delusional world-reading books and waiting for a man like Zade Meadows or Rhys Larsen to rescue her from the demons of her past. A prickly wall guards her once-wounded heart. She doesn't believe in love-or maybe she just doesn't believe in real-life love anymore. Smart. Sassy. Fearless. She'd rather die than be controlled. They call her feisty, but no one knows what lies beneath that venomous fire... except him. He's ruled demons since childhood-who knew he could overrule hers too? Born into power, he commands empires: companies, hotels, clubs, restaurants... and an illegal empire that stretches far beyond. The ruler of The Great Vipera Empire, he didn't just inherit his throne-he built it higher Their paths cross through an arranged agreement Not a contract. Not a cliché Something far greater. Who knew she'd find a new version of herself-and his hand waiting when she finally rewrites the meaning of home. Fair warning-this story drips with spice, tension, and slow-burn chaos. You've been warned. No instant fireworks , just a flame that builds until it's unstoppable🔥 A slowburn romance worth your time - give it a chance, dear readers. From one book lover to another. ~ "Stop smacking my chest, cara mia, or I swear I'll drop you right here." I nod toward the stairs, jaw tight. She giggles - soft, reckless, addictive. Those damn giggles... my oxygen. "Then I'll hold your collar and drag you down with me," she fires back, eyes daring me to move. I lean in, my breath brushing her ear. "Hmm, I've got better plans for you grabbing me by the collar, bella." Her eyes flicker - surprise, heat - before she smirks. "Sure, honey. Be good, and I might give you a treat." Her hand slips into my hair, tugging just enough to test me. I narrow my eyes, a low chuckle rumbling in my chest. "Oh, so that's how it is? You just turned my fantasy into a pet-owner game." Smart girl. I grin. Real sma
