"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.

Maybe Happily Ever After✔️ by SashaBastien
66 parts Complete Mature
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

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

"What do you call a fish wearing a bowtie?" Instantly, Sawyer frowns, an unimpressed expression on his face. I continue to smile at him, urging him to ask as I grab his shoulders and shake him, "C'mon, Sawyer, you gotta ask!! What do you call a fish wearing a bowtie??" He shakes his head, turning away from me as he presses his tongue to inside of his mouth. Flatly, he states, rubbing his face, "We're not doing this shit, Mari." "Yes we are!!!" I snort loudly as he scowls at me. Poking his shoulder, I ask, "You ready?!!" "No." "I'm gonna say it." "No, you're not-" "SoFISHticated." "You're a fucking idiot." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *Lengthy Chapters!!* Marianne Parker and Sawyer Cortez are complete opposites of each other. Marianne believes in finding the good in everything around her. Always smiling, laughing, kind to everyone, and definitely an optimist. With a bubbly attitude and an outgoing personality, she's always looking to make a new friend, and all around a ray of sunshine. Sawyer, on the other hand, is blunt, rude, and pessimistic. He doesn't believe there could be good in everything. He doesn't smile, doesn't laugh, isn't interested in making new friends or socializing. Hell, he BARELY tolerates his own friends. The total definition of a raincloud. But, when Sawyer 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 to him, and he doesn't like that. In his efforts, he tries to ignore it and avoid her. But that can be hard when the girl in question, AKA Marianne, is EQUALLY interested in him too. Started August 2023 - ????

I swear you'll find it. Sunshine McBright is the epitome of happiness and positive energy. Even her name says it all. She's simple minded and detached from reality most of the time.

They are opposites in every way but Greyson will do anything to leap that gap between them and make Sunshine his. Forever. -excerpt- I was sitting quietly in the middle of Central Park when suddenly a flower appeared on my vision. I looked up and saw a redhead smiling widely at me. My hoodie obscure half of my face so I doesn't know if this strange woman saw my flat expression. "I am sorry. I've been staring at you for a while which I know was totally creepy but I swear I am not. I notice that you look lonely and sad so I picked this flower and hopes that your day will become a little bit lighter." She pushed the flower a little so I was forced to take it. "Huh you're still not happy. Wait please." The redhead run towards a bush that has a sign that clearly said "Don't pick any flowers. Fine $50." After she picked a handful. She runs back to me. "Here." she offered the newly stealed flowers to me. "oh I also have a chocolate bar. do you want one?" The only thing that's running on my mind was who's this strange woman and can I take her home? Another amazing cover from @Regina_Anais!
