My Crush's Bestfriend by trxshywriter

Have you ever had a crush on someone and no matter how hard you try you just can't get over it? Lexi Blue has had this problem from the moment she laid eyes on Alex Collins. The only problem is she was completely invisible to him and she was tired of it. This all changes when Jordan Evans, the best friend of Alex takes a sudden interest in her causing the seemingly always moody Alex to become aware of her existence. Will this help in her quest of getting over Alex or will these inevitable interactions lead to deeper feelings being developed? Will she make a mistake in going out with Jordan for selfish reasons or will it lead to her finding love where she least expects it. Follow Lexi Blue on her quest of doing what we all wish we could do- getting over a crush. DISCLAIMER: Started writing this when I was around 14/15 so it's not the best but I think it gradually got better. It's also unedited and may contain plot holes :/ Read at your own risk :)

Sticks and Stones by MelanieGaleaz

Brady Parker. The best hockey player Holloway University had seen in years. He was essentially guaranteed a position on any professional team he wanted. That was until someone smashed his knee in on the night before the biggest game of his life. A year after the event that should have been career ending, he was back on the ice. But it wasn't without its struggle. Tatum Hartley. Biology student, aspiring doctor, and current assistant to the physical therapist for the Holloway Falcons. She adored her job, except for the fact that her most time-consuming patient was the one who wanted to be there the least. But given his knee was smashed in, she couldn't say the attitude was unexpected. Not to mention, the investigation into who almost ended Brady's career was still ongoing. Nobody seemed to know exactly what happened that night- or rather, they just weren't willing to say. Sticks and stones may break their bones, but their secrets are what will cast the final blow. ●・○・♥︎・○・● Approximately 93.4k words Complete

A Chapter Named C by xxxBeaa

Everything I wrote about you...

Not good for you by mandydelaney

"This was just supposed to be summer fun. That was what we agreed on." I tried to talk to him as he was vigorously shaking his head, tearing his gaze away from me. "You were never just a summer fun to me." He stared into my eyes and I felt exposed because I might have developed some feelings for him that I've never wanted to face. Heddy Lopez has just barely graduated and is trying to find the purpose of her life when her friends take her away for the summer before they go on separate ways. Little did she know that an old crush and complicated relationships would cross her way again making her last high school summer completely different than she'd expected it to be. Secrets, heartbreaks, and empty promises siege her over and over again. And they never seem to stop. But how much an already broken heart could take before fully giving up?
