I'm not saying I hate Alexander Jameson. After all, I have Jesus in my heart like the good southern girl I am. But if I did hate anyone? 

Alex would definitely make the cut.  

I have one, singular move in this never-ending game of torment he forces me to play. I avoid Alex with every fiber of my being. The less I have to see of his beautiful (ahem, I mean stupid) face, the better. It's not just a coincidence that we haven't had a single class together since 7th grade. It's entirely by my design-an agenda of self-preservation, if you will. 

But fate must have other plans when the place I volunteer at unknowingly assigns me to mentor Alex's little sister. 

Now that avoiding Alex is no longer an option, I quickly find myself in dangerous waters with him. 

Sink or swim, I'm not going down without a fight.All Rights Reserved

But fear is a powerful fucking aphrodisiac I guess. ------------------------ Realizing it was hopeless, I stormed off, but before I could get very far he grabbed my hand. Frustrated, I turned around, but my face was accidentally way too close to his. My breath hitched in my throat. "Why can't you just leave me alone?!" I yelled in exasperation. Something seemed to pass across his face. He leaned in close and whispered- "You know why." ---------------------------- A teenage story filled with adventure, angst and love.

If Not For Her by Aarushidatta1

She had everything she could wish for a set of supportive parents, an annoying but lovable older brother, and two amazing best friends, but her life would have been so much better if not for her. Emmalyn Cole also known as the school's sweetheart was the exact opposite. She was bright, loud and the absolute center of Rosewood High. Being the daughter of a self-made businesswoman and a famous pianist, she knew she was destined for greatness, but in sophomore year when she was publicly dumped by her boyfriend for her sister, she felt her friends and life slipping away. Junior year she knew that the scholarship to the art school her sister wanted would be her saving grace. She would easily get in if not for her. What started as a small competition spanned into a decade-long rivalry between the two girls. Both ambitious and always after excellence. With the turn of fate, they are once again competing head-on with each other. With the growing competition, a new boy comes along catching everyone's attention including those two and soon they find themselves competing for something other than the scholarship. As time plays with the hearts of the sixteen-year-olds they move towards adulthood and with that comes messy feelings, responsibilities, fear of the future, and a glimpse into the world outside. As the days pass and they grow closer, the girls find themselves questioning is he the one? or are they each other's perfect half?

Dating The Player (ONGOING) by Jackie___Dee

"Really, 'My Baby'?" I ask, my tone dry. Alex grins. "Well, obviously. What do you prefer? 'Sexy'?" he suggests, his eyes sparkling with amusement. I raise an eyebrow. "Mmm, how about 'Dumbass'?" I reply, my expression unimpressed. Alex pouts dramatically. "Now, is that what you're going to call your boyfriend?" he asks, feigning hurt. I correct him. "Fake boyfriend," I say, my voice firm. Alex chuckles. "Same difference," he says, grinning. ~~ Crestwood High Trilogy #2 ● SILVER BLAKE I've got one simple rule: Don't get too close. Boys think they can handle me, but they can't. They're all the same - weak, predictable, and disposable. I'm the one who calls the shots, and if you're lucky, I might just let you hang around for a bit. Alex Carter is everything I despise. Loud, energetic, fun - he's like a walking cliché. Thinks he owns the place just because he's got a charming smile and a trust fund. ● ALEX CARTER I'm the life of the party, the king of the night, and the one everyone wants to be. I'm the guy who walks into a room and instantly knows everyone's gonna have a good time. My parties are legendary, my friends are the best, and my charm's undeniable. Girls love me, guys want to be me, and I'm just living my best life. And then there's Silver Blake. She's like a dark cloud ruining my perfect sunshine. I've tried to get to know her, but she's always pushing me away. But I'm not giving up yet.

Perfect Strangers by NightTime_Storiexs

Follow my Instagram for any updates and if you have any questions: @nikki_k123 Alex has been living the same life, with the same routine, repeating it every day. Every day is the same. The one thing she does look forward to is going to cafe de l'amour every morning on her way to school, where she sits and writes, all while seeing Carter Reed. The most popular boy at school who, surprisingly, prefers the solitary life. They go to the same cafe every day, sit at the same tables every day, and notice each other every day, yet are strangers who have never uttered a word to one another. And strangers they shall remain. Perfect strangers. But that's about to change. . . . . . I watched as he kept his eyes trained on the notebook in front of him where he aimlessly drew spirals and coils that surrounded each other, trapped each other, and suffocated each other. My eyes traced the movement of his pen, following each line he drew onto the paper. "Your tea." I snapped out of my trance and looked up, thanking Katy before she went back to the counter. I turned back and caught him looking at me. I expected him to look away and continue acting like I don't exist. Like he's always done and so have I. What I didn't expect was for him to walk right over and sit with me. "Hi, I'm Carter." PSA: This story is inspired by the Wattpad novel 'Caffeine' by @meddlingkids ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

Enemy Basis | COMPLETE by signedlayla

*His silver gaze, so reflective and transparent, was opaque and blocked off in disgust as he looked down at me with the first emotion I had ever seen on his emotionless face: a sneer so packed with hatred that I almost recoiled back in horror. "Just remember, you did this to yourself, princess," he murmured, his lips so close to mine that I could almost taste the hard bite to his words, his harshness and his hostility.* - They're the kings of the rival school, East Bridge. All powerful. All untouchable. All hot. And unfortunately, as the town policy dictates, I'm their number one enemy, their biggest threat and the catalyst for their destruction, rendering me their target when I'm forced to transfer. But unlike everyone else, I don't engage in town politics, I don't take sides and I definitely do not follow commands. I am Darcy Ravencourt and I bow down to no one, no matter how much they want to put me in my place. I'm here for one thing and one thing only: to graduate so I can leave this godforsaken town and all its problems. And no one will be able to stop me, not even them. Especially not them. - Copyright © 2020 signedlayla

His Worst Mistake by imiswrites

Hate was supposed to protect me. But it never did. The night August Hayes shattered my brother's skull, he shattered something in me, too. One year later, I'm not the girl I used to be. The girl who was naive enough to ever want him. Now, he's back on campus, clinging to his last chance. Mandatory therapy, or he doesn't graduate. And I'm the unlucky intern assigned to his case. He's violent. Dangerous. A walking reminder of all the damage done to my family. I'm supposed to help him manage his anger. But instead, I keep wanting to see what happens when he loses control. They say healing is supposed to be messy. But they never said it could feel like this. Hate was supposed to be easy. But it never is. Some scars you can't see. And there are some scars that you just can't stop touching. - Updates every Friday!

Before You Leave by fbishi

(Before You Leave #1) She was sent to boarding school over the smallest of mistakes... Okay, burning down your schools gym might have been a big one. But she didn't mean to do it. This time.

They call her the devil's bitch, the principal's worst nightmare, and a screwed up whore. They can think what they want, JJ Ashton has heard these all throughout high school. She doesn't want a future, she just wants to take control of now. She's everything Birchwood Prep doesn't want, but is deemed to get after her Father decided it was the only option for her to find some discipline. She's not going to make it that easy for them. Gideon Andrews is the perfect student. Good grades, never missed a day, and never had been in trouble of any sort. He thinks life is great, but meeting JJ, she thinks life for him could be better. Less plain and vanilla. He hates her guts. It's mutual for her as well. But the headmaster has made it Gideon's personal mission to get her back on track and into a better life. She's allowed two screw ups, has to join a sports team, pass all of her classes with at least a C and get some friends before the year is over, or she will be held back. And she's not about to go another year in the hellhole called high school.
