"What can I say? I'm completely like other girls."

"That's cool, but I've never met another Marigold before."

Marigold Reynolds is just a little basic, with a Starbucks latte and a rose gold-cased iPhone in either hand. Quitting her job to be a full-time online craft store owner is a dream far across the horizon, but that has never been a reason to quit the pursuit for Marigold. But when something (or someone) else on the horizon catches her eye, she might have to make time for another challenge.All Rights Reserved

In Case You Missed It ✔ by MoniQuill_

Jace 'Go Away' Parker, purely standoffish with a pierced brow and cold grey eyes is packing his bags to leave and for some rare occasion, it wasn't because of his fluency in sarcasm and raw truth. Moving into a new town wasn't his choice and to his dismay, Gold Wood High is no different... Now he's counting down his freedom from the stereotypical cliques highschool can never be without. But what's worse than dumb shirt stealing jocks is the town sheriff's daughter, one massive hair-pulling irritation takes the form of alluring green eyes, pink manicure and pompoms that is Whitney 'The Brat' Fallon. It all started because of one stupid request-- something that goes beyond everything the tattoed badboy brunette is against. What happens one heroic night takes a different turn when he realizes there's more to the blonde cheerleader than what meets the eye. Could Jace finally scratch his middle name and 'Lean Closer' for a change? In Case You Missed It, sometimes you gotta trust the ripples of the water instead of paddling your own canoe to take you where you needed to be. •︎──≫•◆•≪︎──• 🐚1st Place Teen Fiction - Banana Awards 🐚1st Place Humor - Guilded Raven Awards 🐚1st Place Chicklit/Humor - The Deli Awards 🐚1st Place Funny - The Valentine's Awards 🐚Best TeenFic Cover - Banana Awards 🐚Best Title - Phosphene Awards 🐚Most Romantic Couple - Banana Awards 🐚2nd Place in Best Blurb - Glow Awards 🐚3rd Place in Best Title - Banana Awards ©All Rights Reserved 2021 | MoniQuill

To See Me as You Do (Slow Updates) by AwkwardlyPerfect_18

#1 in MeandYou (June 14, 2025) #5 in QuietBoy (July 9, 2025) 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." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *Slow Burn, Lengthy Chapters, Long Story* 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. Started August 2023 - ????

*** "*Sobs* I'm so happy to have a character that's exactly like me." - @TakenUsernameSoz. "This story is so normal that it's unique; a breath of fresh air! Gives us normal girls hope, hi hi!" - @LocalSlayer "This book is seriously my inspiration to not be afraid to show who I am." - @Who_Says_Duh "THAT IS SO ME!!!!! IS THIS SOME TYPE OF VOODOO, MAGICAL BOOK OR SOME SHIT?!?!" - @ThePanther10101. *** Let's face it, none of those cliché situations from movies between a guy and a girl ever happen in real life. I'm not going to end up accidentally bumping into my future husband in a café, spilling a latte over him. I'm not going to go up to some random stranger and ask him for directions and he'll become mesmerised by the colour of my eyes and fall in love with me. The window of my bedroom doesn't happen to be situated opposite to that of a 'bad boy neighbour'. I was daydreaming, again. Something I do on a daily basis. Nothing different, right? Well, let's just say I didn't snap out of my little 'trance' until I saw a guy waving frantically at me, smiling. Oh shit, he's hot. He probably thinks I was checking him out. Great, now he's coming over. Kill me. *** • Highest rankings: #1 in Modeling - #1 in Awkward - #3 in Humor.

Love And Lattes [DISCONTINUED] by begumsuaksu

"I have a question... Why do you work here? Isn't it hard to handle work and school at the same time?" I asked. He chuckled. "I accidentally chucked Wesley's PlayStation out of the window so I err... Kinda have to work for a few weeks to replace it." I laughed. "Accidentally?" "Actually, I did it to get back at him for dropping my phone into a bowl of soup, but don't tell him that," Levi whispered to me. ~ Every other day Alyssa ends up at Starbucks ordering her weekly latte. It's the same old situation every week, except this week there is a new barista at the till. A ridiculously good looking barista, may I add.

Maybe Happily Ever After✔️ by SashaBastien

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. Just because you have cute dimples and a pretty face, doesn't mean I find you attractive." ------------------------------ Maya Cameron is a senior at Ohio State University and this is the year where you need to get your life together before you get pushed out into the real world. Writing is the only thing that keeps her sane after all of the trauma she's been though. With her mom and dad's unfortunate death, she's been left under the care of her evil step-aunt and forced to stay with her annoying step-cousin. As if college isn't stressful enough. And then there's this other guy in her life. They met online by accident and have been talking for months but she's not brave enough to make it something real. Will Ashby is the all-around superstar on campus. He's practically royalty because he's the running back on the Ohio State Football team: one of the best college football teams in America. Will is the person guys want to be and guy girls want to be with. But in actuality, he'd rather blend in with the background noise. His only focus has been football and finishing his degree. That was until he met this girl. He doesn't even know her name or what she looks like, but she's the girl he'd want to be real with. Because of circumstances, Will needs an English tutor or he won't be able to play. And much to her dismay, Maya is the perfect person for the job. Started: January 2021 Completed: October 2021

The First Light by AelinAshryver07

" One black coffee." A deep voice said and I snapped my head to the side to see a raven head and as he turned, my eyes found the devastatingly beautiful features that had haunted me last night. He collected his coffee and made his way out of the cafe while I sat there, not knowing what to do. Right before he climbed onto his motorbike, he lifted his head and looked at me, His eyes full of mischievousness and challenge. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Willow has always been a stubborn and impulsive person, nothing could stop her if she wants something and everyone knows it and when her eyes meet a pair of striking cerulean eyes , she's determined to find out who the mysterious yet beautiful boy is but the thing is she only knows how he looks and his motorbike. The mischievous and cocky Azrael Vaughan Lewis never had time for girls.

You Like Me?! | ✓ by stillclo

"So, let me get this straight," I looked at him weirdly, raising my hands slightly in exclamation. "You like me?!" I asked him in disbelief. "Like or like-like?" I really can't get my head to process his words at the moment. "Is it weird that I don't." He simply replied, his voice sounded calm but serious at the same time. "And for your question, I do. I do like-like you. Like, I really like you. To the point that you're the only thing that's on my mind everyday and I can't seem to get you off it." I was literally standing there like an idiot, slowing blinking my eyes in a slow pace, still can't believe what's actually happening in front of me. ______________________________ ( Partially Edited.)
