"You know, sometimes I wish I'd never liked you," he whispered next to me.
"Yes but that would have been the smart thing to do," I teased. He turned to face me and smiled that smile that I could never get enough of.
"Why did you want us to be friends again?"
I wasn't quite sure how to answer this. Should I lie and tell him that I just wanted him and Melody to be happy again. Or tell him the truth and say that I didn't ever mean to. I just kinda did it. "I don't know," I mumble.

Loves Me Not
"I may not remember much, but I do know that I had the best time with you last night." Charlie drops his hand from his mouth and lifts his head to stare into my eyes, pushing his hair back from his face at the same time. "And I know this is awkward now, because I'm pretty sure we were both naked together in bed last night..." I choke on air, trying to dispel the imaginary object from my throat. Charlie reaches out and lightly grasps my hand; my eyes slide from our interlocked fingers to his shining pupils. "...but I still wouldn't change a single thing about it. So, I really do look forward to hearing from you later, Kaiydeen." It's like I've been taken hostage by his electric stare. I don't want to look away. I never want to look away. The busy noises of the street and the honking of the traffic fade as I lose focus, nothing strong enough to force my attention away from this boy. Finally, Archer loudly clears his throat as he flings his door open and plops into the car with a huff, breaking the trance between the two of us. I look away as I withdraw my hand from his grasp, trying to figure out what the hell just happened. This is going to be a long 6 months. ●●● Kaiydeen has always known what she wanted, more like who, but she never knew exactly how to get it. So she's complacent with biding her time until it, actually he, comes to her; no matter how long that takes. But then one day she crashes into someone she doesn't expect. Someone that has always had an eye for her, and he isn't satisfied with biding his time until she's his. But when the one person she's always wanted admits he wants her, too, she's forced to make a choice. Should she go for the boy she just met or the boy she's always known? There is some use of mature language in this story, so if your eyes are innocent and you want them to stay that way this might not be the story for you.

Melody's Crush
Aren't one sided crushes fun? NOT! 18 year old Melody Jenkins has spent the last 3 years of high school crushing on one guy, Jake Kensington, who sees her as no more than a sister from another mister and best friend. Not wanting to risk their friendship, Melody has kept her crush a secret and her emotions in check whenever she's around him... which is daily since they live on the same property. It's her senior year and she has made it through the past three years of high school with little social psychological trauma. That's excellent considering she goes to a school in Los Angeles where the majority of the bored students graduating will have executive paying jobs the moment they walk across stage. If all goes well, she will graduate as the valedictorian with multiple offers from colleges on the East Coast, far away from California. But when the health teacher announces a "special" project that requires students to be paired and live under the same roof for one week, Melody's world gets completely turned upside down. She is forced to spend time with someone totally opposite of her and frankly, she can't stand... or so she thought. One night of catching a glimpse of the softer side of Kyle Warner, the school's most popular and arrogant quarterback, has her heart pounding and her stomach doing flip-flops. But when Melody shows an ounce of affection toward Kyle, Jake discovers feelings of his own as he tries to protect his best friend from the guy he knows Kyle can be. As the project comes to an end, Melody goes to homecoming... will it be a night to remember, forget or both? Be advised, this contemporary Teen / Young Adult Romance story has some strong language and strong sexual connotation.Complete

[COMPLETED] "I have a proposal for you." I smiled, hoping he'd take it well. "I've learned that he's been doing super nice things for me, like inviting me places, asking to hang out, you know... Well, I figured he won't really realize what he's missing until it's gone." He got up and made his way across the room to my bed. He sat next to me, his legs dangling off the edge. "And where do I come into this?" I awkwardly avoided eye contact with him. "Well, I figured we both needed a little push in our love lives. Me with Drew and you with Jaz." I glanced at his face to see his reaction. All he did was roll his eyes, but he didn't deny his crush. "Well..." "Spit it out, Wilks." "We should fake date."

Maybe Happily Ever After✔️
I chuckled slightly and shook my head. "Does that usually work for you? The cute little remarks and that nice smile." I teased. He gave me a sheepish look of surprise. "Most girls would be flattered at my attempt to flirt with them." I scoffed and shook my head. "Well, as a member of the "most girls" community, I can say that I am not." "Wow. That's a bit harsh." He gave me a smug look and crossed his arms. "Sorry," I shrugged. "I'm immune to boy charms. In fact, I think I'm allergic." "Well, don't think so highly of yourself.

You Belong With Me (Complete)
Author's note: Before you read this, I just want to let you all know that I have grown up now and I am no longer the same stupid teenager who wrote this with some of the offensive jokes and comments that you may see in here. Clearly, I was still very naive and lacked awareness. I implore you to please read with caution and at your own risk. Some statements will be offensive and I truly apologize (I literally died from cringe when I read this again). I will not delete this seeing as there are still numerous people who choose to read and enjoy it (surprisingly) but I trust that you know better and what is right. ________________ Penelope Myers a.k.a. Pel is one of the teenagers you could describe as a nerd, shy, timid and weird. Even though a lot of people don't like her, this couldn't stop her feelings grow for Jay Richards, the most popular guy in their school. She would do anything just to get him. But when Jay and Kate Jenkins (the meanest, most popular cheerleader in school) started dating, her heart was immediately shattered into a million pieces. She knew she couldn't beat Kate since she was a bully, perfect, popular and most of all possessive. She could be scary. Daniel Harper a.k.a. Danny is one of Pel's best friends. He was as nerdy as her and a bit shy too. He knew about her feelings for this Jay guy and he didn't like it at all. You see, he had a secret crush on Pel since they first met and no one knew it except him. But when he saw how sad and desperate Pel was after finding out Jay and Kate's relationship, he decided to help her get him anyway. He only wanted her happiness after all. But can Danny change Pel's mind along the way and be his instead? This story is a simple teen love romance that you would definitely want to read. It includes humor, heartbreak, best friends, crushes and most of all true love. It's cliche as it could get. But hey, life is one big cliche too right? (Trailer on the side)Complete
