Set in the late '80s Pacific Northwest, the story bridges the cultural differences between two young girls, Venisa Brooks and Jasmine Tremaine Hunter, from grade school until college. The girls' needs defy their cultural differences and they forge a friendship that has no boundaries until the young women they are becoming reveal more about their friendship than they ever imagined.
Warning: This is a 'first draft" of a book written when I was in 8th grade over 20 years ago. LOL. I'm posting it on Wattpad in its original version (with light-to-medium editing) for now, to get feedback before doing a full rewrite. With that said, there are cultural and personal matters addressed in a way that may or may not be politically correct today. But I plan to keep as much of my "original" writer voice for when this was written as possible. So please guard your mind and protect your peace.
Please like, comment and/or follow. I could use the encouragement. ;-)

Virgin Lips
Joanna Brooks had her life all planned. She'd have graduated in time, got a great job, had a successful career. In the middle there would have been a relationship or two maybe, but by the age of 25, she'd have been happily in a stable relationship, working for a well known newspaper as journalist. She'd have never guessed, when she was 12, that none of these plans would work out. 28 years old, stuck with a crappy job and no love life whatsoever. Future seemed as bleakas ever. With two new kittens, Joanna was readying herself to start her life as crazy cat lady...but her new neighbor, handsome and lovely photographer Ben Harris, doesn't seem to think it that way, as he gets ready to revolutionize her whole existence. Trouble is, his own life is not as crystal clear as he pretends it is.

Living with Rebecca's childhood friend, a new world filled with love, excitement, and friendship opens up for both of them. This story is for everybody who also dreams of a fairy tale and won't care if the "knights" were a little dirty. "Grab a bunch of broken misfits, chuck them in a tribe, add some glitter and loads of weird-ass garbage, voila, you've got yourself a fairy tale... kinda... just... you know... minus the fairies..." Paisley Davenport This story is my happy place; I do not plan on ever finishing it. It will go on and on like a soapie. I might break it up into volumes later.

Paralell
- scrapped because my writing is terrible in this book and i'm no longer invested in the characters - Valentina Jones has always despised Vincent Pierce, but that's only because she's reciprocating the hatred. With Vincent and the two mean girls at school always making fun of her, she is done with everyone's bullshit, but will a drunk encounter between her and Vincent change everything? ** "I just want to forget everything. I want my brain to shut off." I sigh heavily, leaning back on the chair, and putting my head on the counter. "You might regret that in the morning," He chuckles, looking over at me. "You know what else I will regret? Having these thoughts about you that infiltrate my mind." I hiccup, then sip from my bottle again. "You are starting to spill your secrets." He leans his head in his hand, staring at me. I hiccup again, "Wanna hear more?" They might fool around, but said they said they would never speak of it again and that it was the first and last time. Though, they might be wrong. They both have their secrets, that they will tell each other eventually. I guess they really are parallel to one another. use of the n word angst sexual content
Float
It started on Wattpad but now is EVERYWHERE! With a bestselling book by WWBG, a captivating Webcomic on Webtoon, and a film adaptation by Wattpad WEBTOON studios, you can read, scroll, or watch - there's an experience for everyone to dive into Waverly and Blake's journey. ***** In order to fit in during her summer visit to a beachside town, Waverly must take swimming lessons from Blake, the moody (but gorgeous) lifeguard next door. ***** Seventeen-year-old Waverly Lyons is from Alaska. She doesn't do sun. But after her divorced parents can't agree on who gets to have her for the summer, Waverly gets shipped off to Holden, Florida, to spend a couple months with her aunt, Rachel. There's one minor hiccup: Blake Hamilton, Rachel's seventeen-year-old neighbor. He's athletic, outgoing, arrogant, tan, and pretty much Waverly's exact opposite. She's eager to avoid him at all costs, hoping to fit in with the other kids in Holden without drawing too much attention to herself. But when Blake discovers that Waverly has been hiding the rather embarrassing secret that she can't swim, he does the unthinkable: He offers to teach her.

Southern Charm
Jessie White stands out from the crowd. As a Southern woman, she defies the typical expectations. While others her age are embarking on new careers, Jessie's upbringing on a ranch alongside four brothers equipped her with skills many would balk at. She's adept at horseback riding, calving, stall cleaning, and more. Fiercely independent, Jessie refuses to rely on any man, a resolve hardened after heartbreak at the hands of Max Lane, a rancher's son, two years prior. Jessie has resolved to take up bull riding, a skill that appears to be a family legacy. Her lifelong dream has been to ride a bull before an audience, but now, her ambition has shifted to rescuing the White Family Ranch after a substantial portion of their funds vanished and debts began accumulating. Max Lane's family is eager to buy the White Family Ranch, but Jessie refuses to let him take away the one thing that sustains her. Being a beauty bartender owner and a female bull rider makes things challenging. Everyone says she can't do it because she's a woman, but Jessie is determined to prove them all wrong. Initially skeptical, Trace Black doesn't recognize her potential until he witnesses her mount a bull for the first time. Although he may appear arrogant externally, that pales in comparison to his internal complexity. Trace and Jessie are initially oblivious to their chemistry, though it's evident to everyone around them. As Jessie gathers the courage to express her feelings to Trace, the things she dreads occur. However, it doesn't make matters worse; it alters everything profoundly. *WARNING* Book contains language, child loss, trauma, etc. Thank you for choosing my story!

But when the pair unexpectedly meet, everything goes downhill from there. Because Sam Cahill is the school's bad boy, known for skipping classes and getting into trouble.

Will that be enough to convince her that he's the one guy worth breaking the rules for? [[Word count: 300,000 - 350,000 words]] [[2015 Watty Winner]] All Rights Reserved- ©nikki20038Complete
