"If you must play,
decide upon three things at the start:
the rules of the game,
the stakes,
and the quitting time."

A story where we follow the "popular rich bitch" after the "socially awkward nerd" (you know her, you love her, you ship her with the bad boy in every teen fiction book you've ever read) steals her boyfriend. Get ready to learn what happens when the high school cliché is told by the girl you've come to think of as the enemy.
Just a day before the start of her senior year Skylar's long term boyfriend Griffin reveals that he's fallen in love with the girl Sky had always underestimated. In hindsight she should have seen this coming all along but she was too self involved to try to stop the inevitable.
In the midst of an emergency girl's night Skylar strikes up a drunken bet with her best friends. Will Sky make it an entire school year without guys or will a new guy in her life cause her to risk it all?

Growing Pains
In the day-to-day trenches of high school, it is almost the default-setting to believe we are the main character of our own coming-of-age story. This is not wrong. It's just ours isn't the only story there is. The jocks, the nerds, the cheerleaders, the losers, the stoners, the fangirls, the skaters. Everyone's the realest most important person in existence, all of them, at the same time, first-person narrators to their own stories, stumbling into each other's plot lines, defying the status-quo, catalysts to ups and downs. A deconstruction of all the high school tropes and cliches written over the years, a deep-dive into the psyche of students trying to finish high school while going through irrevocable self-discovery, the most improbable of connections, and the insufferable pains of growing up.Complete

Started with a babe
My friend and I started writing this story as a joke, so expect a lot of cringe tropes and characters at the beginning but it develops into more serious topics later. Anyways here comes the typical bad boy fiction description;) (hey that rhymed okay bye.) "You don't know who I am babe." "Don't call me babe." "Kay babe." Skylar Jennings and her mom just moved to NightView California to get away from her ex- boyfriend. What will happen when she's asked to babysit the younger sister of the one and only resident bad boy of NightView High, Wilder Hayes? Will her opinion on the bad boy's personality stay the same? Or will he prove her wrong? TW: Strong Language, mentions of abuse (We put warnings before and after scenes that may trigger people)Complete

Chasing Charming ✔️
Complete! "You know I really like you, right?" He was definitely drunk. "You do?" I asked. My voice was supposed to be teasing, but I think it came off as a bit startled. He laughed, "Yeah, why else would I trust you with all my secrets?" -- Betty was many things; a romantic, a fashion designer, a bit more jealous than the average girl, great with a camera, a helpful daughter and a good friend. But she was best known for being nice. And usually, the boy did not want the 'nice' girl. But this summer she was going to prove to Mike, her crush since FOREVER, that nice was enough. She was going to have an amazing summer, a perfect Junior year, and finally have her first kiss. It was a foolproof plan. Moving from her childhood home in Arizona to New Mexico at the start of Junior year was never a part of Betty's plan. But sometimes when parents are involved, plans change. So now the nice girl had to start over at a new school in a new State. And when the (maybe not so bad) bad boy, Eli, gets involved, it might be hard to be known as 'the nice girl'.Complete
