"Five minutes!"
Jason's shoulders hunched in front of the wheel, total concentration taking over his features.
"Four minutes!"
I heard his foot slam down on the gas pedal.
"Three minutes!"
I was sounding desperate. I had gone through too much to give up now.
The fast pace of the alternative rock playing in the background certainly set the mood.
"Two MINUTES!"
I was shaking. Sweat beaded on my forehead as I ate the last of my icecream cone.
"ONE FRIKIN MINUTE JASON"

Ryley Stump is blonde, sarcastic, hungry, and myself. And she is short on a thousand dollars. For drugs? No. For debts? No.
For mother-flipping college.
Her friends, Sam and Jason, devise a *fool-proof* plan to get that money. Her patience, stomach capacity, and tolerance for alcohol (the fake kind) will be tested on this thrilling journey to midnight.

The Bad Boy Is Out
Grade twelve was supposed to be filled with happiness. And it really was great. Natalie Wild's next door neighbor Ayrton Rider had been arrested for underground illegal MMA fighting. He broke a guy's jaw and a couple of his ribs. He was lucky he got off with three years of prison. Now if he was already a rough tough dude, now imagine three years later. He's officially the bad boy package. Perfect messy hair, six pack, hot body, cute face, strong and now a jail record. Ayrton is back to school and girls are happy about it. He might as well have been a Rock Star with the amount of signatures he was handing out. Girls were fainting and staring. And guys were...well guys weren't too happy about the situation. Leave it to Ayrton make tons of fans and loads of enemies in the same day. Natalie Wild was an artist, or at least the school's artist. All school activity posters and banners were designed by Natalie. School grades and social outings may not be her thing, but art has always been it. Ayrton finds a way of getting into another fight in the third month of school. Now the principle decides make him do some extra curricular activities instead of suspending him for a week. Only thing, the activity was Art Club. Art Club consists of Natalie and only Natalie. That's A LOT during and after school time to be spent with a recently released criminal.

Life Lost and Found
Madeline found the note in her locker. Neatly folded, it held a pair of razor blades and a set of instructions. "Just die, ugly girl. No one will miss you." She doesn't know who gave it to her. Or any of the others before it. But she knows one thing: they're right. No one will miss her. Her mother is dead, her dad is more a theory than a parental figure, and her friends are the stick figures she draws in her notebooks. So, when someone she barely knows invites her to the school graduation party, there's no reason for her to go. A girl like her at a party like that? Eating a bowl of live spiders would be a better idea. And yet, she accepts. She goes. She doesn't know what she expects to find there. She doesn't even know why she said yes. Out of desperation? Because she thinks she'll somehow make friends? Prove, somehow, that the razor note is wrong? Whatever her reasons, what she finds is a surprise. And not the one she wants. She's given one more note. And what's written inside this one will make her face the truth she's been hiding from for seven years. And the truth about Madeline Parker will either fix her, and finally make her worthy of being loved, or it will prove that the note with the razors is right. Or both. -- Complete and professionally edited. Also on sale (www.lifelostandfound.com) where 150% of all sales go to charity, including the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. Dedicated to all of us who need a reason to keep going. Especially now. I hope it makes you laugh. And I hope it helps you realize you're not alone. (Warning -- Do not read this book if you: look amazing all or most of the time, never worry about what people think of you, have more friends than Estonia has people, or are allergic to the word "shenanigans". Especially that last one, because it's used once or twice and you may experience a reaction. Also, you should probably see a doctor about that. Secondary warning: the word "shenanigans" is used in this warning.)Complete

Like the Doll?
Annabelle was a pretty reserved girl, she never tried to stand out in class, never stepped out of line and was never the confrontational type. This all changed however one fateful day when she met the most obnoxious, short tempered classmate known as Ken. Why did she have to get pulled into his crazy life and why did he seem to not mind her company.
Violet's Delight
"Well then. That's the first time a girl has ever rejected my close proximity," he said, eyes ablaze with a playful fire. "You better get used to it," I retorted as I spun on my heel and headed for the school doors that led to the outside. "I've never met anyone like you before," he called after me, this time, not coming after me. "I know, Romeo. I'm a special little snowflake," I called back, not turning around. "You got the 'little' part right there, Princess!" he shouted after me. I threw up my middle finger back to him and heard him laugh as I exited out the doors rather dramatically. ... I'm tired of all those high school stories about a straight-A girl student with the perfect life who falls for the stereotypical Mr. Bad Boy who wears leather black jackets and only has a soft spot for her. That's not how the real world works, sweetheart. I may look like a damsel, but I'm never in distress. ... Not me making fun of the "she's not like every other girl" trope <3 o.o :)) I like to think I'm funny. After all: #3 in amusement 10/22/22 #1 in banter 10/31/22 #3 in friendship 11/7/22Complete

Crushed •|COMPLETED|•
Everyone has their little fairytale which they believe will come true someday. Hell, they all have that itsy dream they hold on to just for survival. But for me, I had hell on earth. Every part of my life was a deceitful act of kindness.. Or at least I felt so. I found myself in the midst of the devil who deprived me of breath as he scanned me to see if I was actually worth it. If I was worth a try...the risk..his bosom. Twisted in love, hurt by the one I looked up to, I found myself vulnerable to basic bullshit. How in Hell's name do I get rid of the flaws in my life just to be like every normal girl? Just to be someone's "only one?" "I really don't want to meet anyone" I half smiled to the blonde girl who sat beside me taking a sip at her whiskey. "Hey, it's me. Quinn Adams, your bestie. Don't say no to me. I got a Friend who's dying to meet you" she smirked turning to her side. My eyes met his sharp intimidating eyes. There he was again, draining me of my color and very existence. "Come on, he's been waiting" she dragged me by the arm, heading for the bar. Quinn's drunken state caused me to bump into him in a fuss. "I'm so sorry" I said quickly said as I felt my mouth go dry at his bad boy demeanor. "It's fine, mind if I buy you a drink?" He offered with a smile. That was it. With that smile, I was lured into the lions den, waiting innocently to be devoured. All false hopes darling....Complete
