SEQUEL TO THE PACT: SPOILERS IN DESCRIPTION

Emily Caldwell knew ending things with Beck St. Claire was the right choice. Nine months have passed since she last locked eyes with him, and finally, the weight of his absence is beginning to lift. But just as she's starting to move on, Beck reappears, back from Florida and ready for another semester at UMaine-with an unshakable determination to keep Emily close.

Beck is everywhere-haunting her thoughts and now her life. From late-night calculus tutoring sessions to shared shifts teaching volleyball to kids, Emily finds herself constantly in his orbit. No matter how hard she tries to focus on someone new, Beck's presence is an intoxicating mix of frustration and temptation.

As old memories resurface and new sparks fly, Emily is torn between the life she's trying to build and the one she thought she left behind. Beck is relentless, refusing to let her go-but does she really want him to? Can two hearts that once belonged to each other find their way back, or are some things better left in the past?

Will Emily and Beck rekindle what they once had, or is their love story truly over?All Rights Reserved

The Pact by litttlestqrs

Emily Caldwell is ready for a fresh start. After leaving behind a home that only brought her pain and a twisted view of love, she's finally found her place in a new town with new friends and a newfound passion for volleyball. She's gunning for the captain spot on her team and feels like she's finally putting the pieces of her life together. Well, almost. There's just one thing missing: experience. And not the kind you get on the volleyball court. Emily wants to learn everything she missed out on-the good, the bad, and especially the sexy. Ignoring her friends' teasing about her search for a "Sex Coach," she sets her sights on Beck St. Claire, UMaine's golden boy and the dual captain of the volleyball and cross-country teams. Beck is everything Emily thinks she wants: confident, cocky, and infuriatingly charming. He's more than happy to take Emily under his wing, showing her the ropes both on and off the court. But as their chemistry sizzles and their lessons become more intense, Emily realizes Beck's charm masks a pain of his own. Behind his golden exterior, there's a darkness he's not ready to confront. With her heart on the line, Emily must decide: can she handle Beck's baggage, or will their pasts pull them apart before they even get started?

Highschool Sweethearts by K-good

Katelyn has been in and out of the foster system since her mother died when she was young. After her father gets put in jail again, she gets sent to live with the Thomas family. The Thomas's are a very well-off family with four boys. Their house is usually the main hangout for the boys and their friends. Kate hasn't ever lived with siblings before, let alone this many boys, so it's a big change for her. Daniel is your typical high school football player; he's got the looks, the muscles, talent, and even the overbearing dad who wants him to go pro. Daniel, however, really couldn't care less about a career in football, he loves the game, but it's his dad's dream for him to go pro, not his own. At least not anymore. He spends most of his free time away from his house and hanging out at either the Thomas or the Copperfield house. He can't wait to go off to college with his friends and get away from his dad and the stupid little town he grew up in. How will things change for them over the next year? This will be a series of 4, but the other books will be spin-offs and can be read as stand-alone books. They will, however, be published in chronological order. Full warning, this book is much shorter than I intend on making the spin-offs. I was planning on writing book two as the first in the series but found myself needing more of a prequel to all three other books, and so I chose to write something from their high school years. Bonus points for giving Daniel a love interest that was more than just a name.

Revision (COMPLETE) by TianneLove

My name is Delaney and this is my story. I feel compelled to give you fair warning before you embark on my journey. It's messy. It's chock-full of terrible choices and split-second decisions filled with bad judgment. It's rough, complicated and angsty-but, hey, isn't that what real life is? You live and learn through experience. You (hopefully) mature and don't make the same mistakes twice. These, however, are tough lessons to learn when you're trying to navigate through. Sure, dear reader, you will have ideas of how I could've handled it all better-I know I certainly do, in retrospect. But, I'm me. I'm human. And to err is human, right? Isn't that the popular quote people love to use as an excuse? Well-there it is. Read my life story, I dare you, but remember you've been warned. The divorce of her parents does not come as a surprise to Delaney, however her mother's swift decision to relocate to Florida throws her for a loop. After enrolling in classes at university, she makes fast friends with Shane, the quintessentially perfect guy. Jaded by her past experiences with relationships, Shane completely confounds her. He represents everything Delaney believed didn't exist in real life; stability, security and good old-fashioned kindness. It should be effortless. With Shane, it's exactly the type of happily-ever-after story she loves to read, as well as write. Enter Fin: the edgy, risk-taking artist that unrelentingly captivates her attention. Soon after becoming her partner in literature class, he becomes her one and only copyeditor and most trusted confidant. Torn between two different worlds, Delaney stumbles through a range of decisions that lead her on an unexpected journey. She finds herself left with an impossible choice: A life of contentedness filled with ease and love or a passion-filled wild ride that leaves her breathless. However, Delaney also discovers that sometimes the seemingly unimportant everyday decisions end up making the choices for you...

Player by aspen2001

"Okay, then allow me to offer a pact." He says, immediately making me a mixture of terrified and suspicious. "You say that I'm a jerk; a bully. So, why not change that my way?" "I don't like where this is going-" I begin, but he cuts me off. "Just listen." He comes closer, seating himself next to me on the curb. "You've made me lose 3 hot dates, and in my books, that's unforgivable. There was Bunny, the girl at the party, the red headed girl from Geometry, and that Grateful Dead hippy chick from the parking lot." I start to feel uneasy, like Jake is going to make me do something I am not going to want to do. "I think that I deserve some fun." He suddenly notices my face and smirks. "Not that kind of fun." I let out a well-needed breath, not noticing that I was even holding my breath until now. "An agreement," He smiles widely, liking whatever he has come up with. "Here's the rules." He hands me a piece of paper that he was keeping in his jeans pocket. I unfold it and stare at the messy handwriting. Player's can- Sweet talk Play fight Talk 24/7 Tell each other good morning and good night every day Take walks together Give each other nicknames Hang out with each other's friends Go on dates Talk on the phone all night long Hold each other Kiss Hug And whoever falls in love first, loses (Nobody can be dating anyone during this agreement or else they automatically lose) (Winner gets the opposite player to do anything they want them to do)

The Pact

Emily Caldwell is ready for a fresh start. After leaving behind a home that only brought her pain and a twisted view of love, she's finally found her place in a new town with new friends and a newfound passion for volleyball. She's gunning for the captain spot on her team and feels like she's finally putting the pieces of her life together. Well, almost. There's just one thing missing: experience. And not the kind you get on the volleyball court. Emily wants to learn everything she missed out on-the good, the bad, and especially the sexy. Ignoring her friends' teasing about her search for a "Sex Coach," she sets her sights on Beck St. Claire, UMaine's golden boy and the dual captain of the volleyball and cross-country teams. Beck is everything Emily thinks she wants: confident, cocky, and infuriatingly charming. He's more than happy to take Emily under his wing, showing her the ropes both on and off the court. But as their chemistry sizzles and their lessons become more intense, Emily realizes Beck's charm masks a pain of his own. Behind his golden exterior, there's a darkness he's not ready to confront. With her heart on the line, Emily must decide: can she handle Beck's baggage, or will their pasts pull them apart before they even get started?
