She had the perfect life-until grief shattered everything. Now London is her second chance... even if she doesn't want it.
Aria Staci had it all: daughter of Seattle's mayor, top of her class, the perfect family. But when her mother dies suddenly at the end of junior year, everything unravels. One reckless summer later, Aria's father ships her across the ocean to London to finish her senior year at a Barrington Academy-hoping discipline and distance will fix what's broken.
But London isn't what Aria expects. Neither is Malik Evans-the quiet, guarded musician with shadows in his past and a fire in his voice that stirs something in her. Thrown into a world of fierce competition, late-night rehearsals, and girls who smile with knives behind their backs, Aria must find her place again-through music, through dance, and through a boy everyone warns her to stay away from.
In a city where no one knows her name, Aria learns what it means to be seen-for who she really is. And in Malik, she just might find the kind of love she never thought she deserved.

I was frozen to my spot, watching his slightly darkened eyes roam my body and I couldn't help the embarrassment that suddenly coursed through me. Heat rushed up to my face as I timidly moved my eyes away from his intense gaze, crossing my bare legs over one another as I bit my lip. I felt completely vulnerable. The silence was soon thankfully broken when he cleared his throat, bringing my eyes back up to find him turn around to shut the bedroom door. ----------------------------------------------------------- Constantly having to move from town to town due to her father's condition was never easy for Aria Clark. Her father meant everything to her and although it's hard for her as a young teenager to start fresh every time she learns to get comfortable, she vows to do anything to be by her father's side.

*~*~* REWRITTEN AND PUBLISHED AS HUNTINGTON AVENUE ON MY PROFILE *~*~* Zachary West has it all. Near-perfect grades, a kind, loving family, and is a guitar prodigy. Seems like a wonderful life, right? Most good things come with at least one catch, though: He's blind. Following a move from Washington to New York, Zach struggles to fit in with everyone else. Little did he know that high school across the country would be extremely different than back home. He would endure new town, new home, new friends, but also new hardships. Will Zach find a way to fit in with his new surroundings? Then, there's Kelsey Davis, one of the popular girls of the school. She's beautiful, charming, and, of course, she can be a bit questionable. Luckily, there's almost always a side to people that nobody sees. Hanging out with the wrong crowd has gotten to Kelsey's nerves, but she doesn't want to leave her friends. Having such a reputation with the entire school has extremely high standards, and she can't meet them anymore. Will everything change when she notices a unique boy among the crowds who might need a friend? *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Disclaimer: This is the very first book that I ever wrote. It was created in the Fall of 2018 by a 15-year-old girl who had no idea how to construct and develop a story. It's still a very precious story to my heart and I will always keep it published here. :) Word Count: ~70,000-75,000Complete![Drawn to you - Isadora Capri [wlw]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/400423320-256-k933517.jpg)

Bound to take your life~ (Isadora Capri)
Lyra has spent the last summer haunted by her own mistake the night her hunger almost cost her roommate's life. Being a vampire at Nevermore was never simple, but after that accident she's more guarded than ever, terrified of losing control again. Then comes Isadora Capri : sharp, magnetic, and impossible to ignore. Through music, through stolen glances, through the ache of something that feels like longing, will she give in ? But with desire comes danger, and Lyra knows better than anyone how thin the line is between craving someone and destroying them. (This isn't a slow burn at all, even if I know yall would probably prefer it that way. It's all very primal and based on strong instinctual feelings as werewolves and vampires have strong instincts. It just makes more sense to you, up to you to read or not. <3) ~.•*•.~ Warnings : violence, blood, sex, bold statements, mention of ptsd, childhood trauma, self harm, mental and physical health, reflect ect... If you're triggered by anything said above please do not read. Stay safe <3 ~.•*•.~ Honest note : I often use chatgpt to help me phrase my sentences correctly or to correct my chapters when done. English isn't my first language and I want the fanfic to be as beautiful and poetic to read. But I also wanna be honest with my readers, I hope you'll have a good time reading. <3
