To Love Asher Cole by Bella_Williams123
5 parts Ongoing Mature
Asher Cole could be more interested in a rock than Oakleigh Keating. And yet, Oakleigh could not be more interested in Asher. Oakleigh Keating has had a crush on Asher Cole, a close friend of hers, since before she could remember. Yeah, Oakleigh and every other girl that's ever met him. Star football player, criminally good looks and a panty melting smile? It's no wonder. But despite spending years trying to get him to notice her, Asher only seems to see Oakleigh as his little sister's friend or someone to tease or laugh at. But after seventeen years of hopefully pining after a boy who couldn't care less, Oakleigh decides it's time to grow up. Leave Asher Cole in the dust and move onto bigger and better things - like the Royal Albert Hall. Like her career as a ballerina. Like getting skinnier. Like the promise she made to her father. The answer is simple: Forget Asher Cole. So why can't she get this damn boy out of her head? --- TW: The main character of this book suffers from an undiagnosed eating disorder.

Josh and Katie have been best friends since he first moved nextdoor midway through freshman year. They were attached to the hip and acted like they've known each other for years. Josh Parker was the all American boy who all the girls wanted, including Katie. As Katie and Josh's friendship blossomed she quickly formed a crush on Josh, but as the years progressed, her crush turned into love. Five years after leaving Miami brokenhearted after finding out about Josh's engagement to his childhood sweetheart. Katie unexpectedly reunites with her former best friend, and Josh quickly realizes that his feelings for her are not just platonic anymore. * As I'm walking out of work I get a call from my brother to pick my niece up from school. For the past 4 years that little girl has had me wrapped around her finger and I wouldn't have it any other way. Unfortunately I got stuck in traffic on the way over so I'm late for pick up. Once I get to Melanie's classroom I fill out the sign out sheet that's on the wall and make my way into the classroom. I faintly hear Melanie laughing so I know she's not upset from me being late. "Hey I'm so sorry. I got stuck in traff..." I said stopping mid sentence, stunned at the woman in front of me. Standing in front of me is someone I considered one of the most important people to me back in highschool. As soon as I looked into those Caribbean blue that I used to know so well, I knew it was her. It takes her a few seconds to realize who I am. She stands there stunned. We continue to stare at each other until she breaks the silence. "Josh?" She asks not believing it's actually me. "Hey Katie girl."

Avery has spent her entire life with a one track mind: Dance. When her training and focus finally pays off and she is accepted to one of the most prestigious dance academy's in the nation, she doesn't hesitate to leave her life back home for a chance at being the best. There's not much she wouldn't do or leave behind for the opportunity, which doesn't surprise anyone because she's been doing it since she first put on a pair of ballet shoes. School, boys, friends, family; it all became nonexistent as her number one priority, always, is her training. After she picks up and leaves to attend The Motion Dance Academy in California, she quickly realizes her time there will be a challenge. Between the hierarchy amongst peers and abuse of power from instructors there are countless personal struggles that ballerina's who train the way these girls do have to deal with day in and day out. And while Avery is able to juggle the high demands and expectations of her training at TMDA, meeting a boy is not something she saw coming. She doesn't know how to maintain a dance-life balance, but after all these years, is more than willing to try... for him. Cooper, a wildly talented guitarist who plays in a band is everything she should stay away from with his tattoos, piercings, long bleached hair and that smile of his. But she quickly learns Cooper is a lot more than he appears on the outside. He is an aspiring singer-songwriter whose is struggling to break from his band and produce his own original music. Avery finds a way for them to work together in the upcoming fall showcase where she needs to stand out in her solo and he can break in to getting his songs out there for the world to hear. In Every Way is a story that dives deep into the dance industry and what it's really like to have the pressures of being a professional ballerina while intertwining original lyrics from a musician who is inspired by the girl in the pointe shoes.
