We're Not Related Anymore... by ElizaJGrant

In which two ex-step-siblings reconnect after just about blowing up their family the first time around... Three years ago, Maddie fell hard for Jacob Isaacs, the smartest boy in her school. The only problem was this: Her dad had quite literally gotten engaged to his mother. The two tried to dampen the flames of their burgeoning attraction for each other but not before they got caught and were the talk of the town for months. After the fall out, Maddie moved away to try and start her life over and not be known as the girl who got caught doing it with her 'brother' at prom. She hasn't seen her family in ages and intends to keep things that way. Jacob, on the other hand, has worked hard to accomplish everything he's ever dreamed of. He's stayed close to home, done exceptionally well at school, and is adored by just about everyone who meets him. There's only one problem: There's a Maddie-shaped hole where his heart used to be. But no matter how hard he tries to reach out and find her, he can't. She won't let him. He let her down and gave up on them when she needed him most. And she's not ready to forgive and forget. But then Maddie's dad passes and she's forced to come home for his funeral. It should be a quick visit. She intends to make it one. But Jacob has other plans. He let his girl slip through his fingers once and he won't let that happen again. So now he has to convince her to give him one more chance. After all, they're not related to each other anymore.

The Reason by awakened_dreams

Bree Adams , she's the school's nerd or rather that's the mask she puts on when she's in school. She's a billionaire's daughter but she doesn't have friends or rather she doesn't want to have any. There is a reason she's doing this. No one knew the reason and the ones who know are only her family . Her eighteenth birthday turned out to be a disaster. She's bullied in school and doesn't do anything to stop it. No one usually noticed her. Until someone actually, does. Aiden Waters, the schools badass notices her. The walls she's been building begin to fall apart. All she knew is she had to wait for answers. Is this going to end on a good note or a bad one? Stay tuned to know!!

The Spy by SarahWriteslol

"You are so gosh dang stubborn that it kills me. I don't want you to stay away Alex, but you have to. It is for your safety. I am not good. I will ruin you." He said not taking his gaze off of me. "I don't care how bad you are Jacob. Ruin me. I don't care." ********************************************************************************************** If you took one look at Alex Bailey you would think she is just a normal, shy, nerdish, girl. Alex is a senior in high school. She is clumsy, loves reading, and loves to sing and draw. She is smart, good girl, and can be very fierce when needed. During the day she is normal but at night she is a spy. Bailey was told to go on a mission with her 2 best friend Benny and Kenna, where she meets Jacob. Jacob Davis is what you would call a bad boy, he also is a gang-leader to the biggest gang in the world. He smokes, parties, he has dealt with gangs, basically does what some teenagers nowadays do. He also hides behind his hood. He only talks to his best friends. He doesn't like social interaction. No one one has seen his face besides his friends. He doesn't date. He hates it. He doesn't like to be tied down. That is until he meets the shy, fierce, nerdy girl, Alex. Something about her long brown wavy hair, piercing blue eyes, and freckles, made him go crazy. He wants her to be hid. He is protective and possessive over her. He hates it when other boys talk to her.

his weakness by shecantwrite0

"Who the fuck did you tell?" He asks me as he takes a step closer towards me, making me also take a few steps back. "Stop being so fucking loud and I don't know what you're talking about." I whisper yell at him, trying my best not to show him how much he actually intimidates me. My back eventually hit the wall behind me, trapping me in between it and Nolan. As he hovered over me, I looked into his predatory eyes almost getting completely lost in them. "Don't tell me what to fucking do," He snapped at me in a low voice "You told someone and I told you what would happen if you did." ... Nolan, an emotionally reserved individual due to a past tragedy, finds himself entangled with Kenzie in a bid to protect a secret. Will his interactions with her lead him to break down his barriers and fall in love, or will he persist in isolating himself as he has done for years? Kenzie, a curious and outgoing teenager, ends up in a dangerous situation involving Nolan, whom she initially dislikes. Despite her hatred for him, will her encounters with him soften her heart and turn her feelings from hatred into something deeper, perhaps even love? [NOT EDITED] BEING RE-WRITTEN TRIGGER WARNING ⚠️
