High school senior Alex Hayes is the golden boy-class president, straight-A student, and everyone's favorite role model. But beneath the polished surface, Alex is exhausted from always being perfect. Across the hallway is Cameron Reid, the popular jock with an effortless charm and a reputation for breaking the rules. They couldn't be more different-or so everyone thinks.
When a chance partnership on a school project forces them to spend time together, sparks fly in unexpected ways. What starts as an awkward collaboration soon turns into late-night confessions, secret glances, and the kind of connection neither of them can ignore.
As Alex struggles to balance his carefully curated image and Cameron wrestles with his own hidden vulnerabilities, the lines between friendship, romance, and identity blur. But in a world where expectations are everything, are they willing to risk it all to be who they truly are?

Nothings Ever As Perfect As It Seems
Jack Reid thought he had all the time in the world to figure things out like how to win over Mia Sinclair, the girl he's been hopelessly in love with since freshman year. But senior year is flying by, and Mia still looks at him like he's nothing more than a punchline. All his grand gestures, cheesy jokes, and late-night confessions have gotten him nowhere. It's fine, though. Jack's always had Quinn Stephens, his best friend since forever. She's the one who knows him better than anyone, the one who calls him out on his ridiculous plans, and the one who's always there to pick up the pieces when things with Mia inevitably fall apart. But lately, Jack's started to notice things about Quinn he never did before the way her laughter lingers in his head, how her eyes catch the light just right, and the way her voice feels like home. For the first time, Jack begins to question everything he thought he wanted. Maybe Mia isn't the girl of his dreams. Maybe it's Quinn. Maybe she's been the one all along. But just as Jack starts to imagine what life could be like if he took the risk, time seems to run out faster than he ever expected. Because some moments can't be undone. Some chances only come once. And some love stories don't get the ending you think they will. Nothings Ever As Perfect As It Seems is a bittersweet, unforgettable tale about love, loss, and realizing what matters most before it's too late. For readers who believe in love stories that break your heart and put it back together in the most unexpected ways.
Bound Together (editing)
Alexandria Simmons has never been noticed at her high school, Hartwell High. With only having two best friends, she's actually pretty ok with not having anyone bother her for always having a book in her hand, or for keeping to herself. It's actually pretty surprising that no one had the guts to talk trash about her behind her back, or to laugh at how different she is from the rest of the girls in their student body, well maybe that was because of her older brother; by 1 year, Cameron Simmons, who was sort of like the Troy Bolton of their school, and if you ever got on his bad side, well that would definitely suck for you. Alex had an average life, it was as if she was riding one of those slow kiddy rides at an amusement park, that you were forced to go on by your younger siblings or relatives. Her life was simply too boring, plain, simple, so bland. That was until Mr. Jayce Reynolds stepped into the picture. Jayce Reynolds, who was sort of like a younger cockier version of Cameron. Everyone expected him to take over the football team once Cam graduated. Being only a junior, and being one of the best football players in that school was something everyone idolized him for. He was expected to become a football player by his classmates, or to take over some big corporate company by his dad. Speaking of his dad, his family was probably the most dysfunctional yet peculiar group of people that ever stepped on this earth. Aside from that, having the "perfect" girlfriend and being a part of the "popular" crowd had its perks, but Jayce thought otherwise. He wasn't the perfect person everyone portrayed him to be, and Alex is the person who figures that out. Copyright © 2013 Queenfreakco All Rights Reserved [Updated]: May 25, 2014Complete
