After her father's death and the incident where she almost became a nun, Avelline Krey decided that maybe she should actually live a little.
She goes to the bookstores and fights the urge to snatch a book about bugs and reads about girls kissing instead. She tries clubbing, ends up puking, decides it's not her forte, and huddles back into a blanket (with the help of a cute barista) -- but hey, at least she tried it!
She flirts with the barista and although it's 99% about random bug facts, at least it's progress. Then, she goes to a baking class to impress that said barista and ends up meeting her ex best friend.
Living a little apparently, is a bit harder than expected.

The Guy I Could Never Have
Some people arrive quietly. No fireworks. No background music. Just a look. A name. A violet shirt in a white room. You don't realize it's the start. Not until you're too far in. I didn't fall for him the way stories say you should. There was no moment of knowing. Just a slow ache that built between library tables and half-finished coffee cups. The kind of love that feels like a question no one teaches you how to ask. We were never official. Never obvious. We were playlists. Eye contact. A sentence that almost sounded like confession-until it didn't. And somewhere in that space between almost and never, I became someone I didn't recognize. Someone quieter. Smaller. And then... someone who walked away. This is not a story about the guy I ended up with. This is about the one I couldn't have. The one who arrived too late. The one who taught me that not all love stories need a happy ending- Some just need a girl who finally chooses herself. And this time, I did.Complete
Moonlight Kisses
"Why are you doing that!" she whisper-screams while her eyes flit to the other guys, who are now immersed in something else that isn't us. I kiss that spot again, making her whole body shiver. It's oddly entertaining to watch what my slightest movements do to her. Usually it takes a lot more for a girl to unravel this way, but her breath hitches each time I go to kiss her neck. I could only imagine what my hands could do to her body. "You still didn't answer my question," she huffs harshly. And still she hasn't pulled away from me. Had I been any stupider, I'd say Jordyn was actually enjoying herself. If she hates this so badly, why hasn't she asked me to stop? [] In August, Jordyn Reeve starts attending Crestview Prep and not long after strikes a deal with Beau Clemonte, an arrogant, rude boy who happens to be the thing that can give her what she wants: his best friend, Jake Amherst. Of course, everything worthwhile must come with a price. Despite her outright opinions, Jordyn makes a deal with the devil. Or at least that's what that's what she saw at first -- a coldhearted, stubborn asshole that cared even less than she did. Her only intention was to see this out to get the guy. However, it wasn't that simple for Beau. Cover created by: @meha-k Started October 2020 Completed January 2022Complete
The Chemistry of Maybe
Farra is just your average high school student if your average student blurts out inappropriate jokes, drifts through life with a half-detached smirk, and keeps everyone at arm's length just far enough to stay safe. She doesn't believe in soulmates, real emotions, or whatever people mean when they say "connection." But even someone like her ends up with a found family of chaotic, loyal, deeply flawed friends who keep her from drifting too far. Then comes Asta. Mysterious, quiet, unfairly attractive Asta. The kind of guy Farra should definitely avoid but absolutely cannot stop thinking about. When her attempts to figure him out turn into full-on strategies (and minor stalking), Farra ropes in her "friend" Alif to help. But when feelings shift, secrets pile up, and nothing goes as planned, she finds herself stuck between the version of herself she performs and the person she might actually want to be. High school was already messy. Add in some unrequited crushes, group chats full of bad advice, and the slow, painful realization that "maybe" isn't enough, and things get a lot more complicated. A sharp, funny, and painfully honest story about friendship, feeling too much, and figuring out who the hell you are, one awkward conversation at a time.Complete
You Are the Shell to My Tortoise | ✓
Nolan, an unapproachable guy who ignores the existence of all his schoolmates, sleeps in all of his classes. Normally, this wouldn't be Chelsea Arnold's problem-she does her best to pay attention in class and attends gym like a good, normal student. Unfortunately, she just so happens to be his assigned desk partner in many classes. She's frequently forced to wake him in English class and ends up earning the unofficial title of Nolan's Wake-up Alarm-a title that nobody in the entire school covets. The last thing she wants is to interact with him more than she absolutely has to. One day, their gym teacher sends her to bring him back to class, which he always skips for some reason. When she accidentally shines her flashlight in his sleeping face, it triggers a chain of events that gradually intertwines their lives together. It's hard to be a normal student when you start befriending the school oddball. It doesn't help that he has more secrets than the Big Ben has stairs. ----- Complete.

Chemistry in History
"Make me," I said challengingly. He looked at me daringly, and then suddenly smashed his lips against mine, he sucked on my bottom lip making me let out another moan, I kissed him back, but then he abruptly broke the kiss too soon, leaving me feeling dizzy. "Now go home, or else you won't be able to walk tomorrow." He whispered in my ear. ***** Have you ever been secretly in love with your friend's crush? Well, Bella has.

The Playgirl Parker #Wattys2016
#Highest Rating: #102 IN TEEN-FIC I put on my Gucci jacket, strapped on my Jimmy Choos, ran a manicured hand through my freshly-curled hair, and applied a single stroke of my ruby red matte lipstick. He yawned happily from the bed. "Last night was amazing." He said, with a satisfied look. "Should I make you some coffee?" "Don't bother." I replied edgily, as my light eyebrows shot up my forehead, and a suave smirk crept onto my lips. "I'm never seeing you again, mister." The look on his face. Priceless. This is why I do it, the sheer joy I get to see guys this way. ******** Meet me. Ashley Chelsea Parker. THE girl. Sure, I am the Queen of Highschool, not in the innocent head cheerleader way you might be guessing, but in the 'Playgirl Parker' way. Guys want to have me. They not just dream of the amazing night they want to spend with me in bed, but also of changing me, from a playgirl to a whipped girl. All the time, when I hook up, I pity these assholes for thinking 'As If' that could ever happen. Girls want to be me. They dream of possessing the looks, charm, manner, popularity, talent, and all the perfection in me. And then, in anxiety to prove they actually dislike me and are not just plain jealous, they become what the other gender was born as: a dick. And I, then of course, be the bigger one. Flatter me, and I might just be nice to you if you're lucky, but just try to be at the same level as me, and I'll show you how far below you are. But I've had enough experience with many people to know they are certified bitches. All I now bother, is to be the biggest bitch of them all. ******** Presenting to you, the Playgirl Parker. #1 in the Playgirl series. Please try the book, at least once. You're so gonna love this. Hey awesome people. I've recently signed up for a contest, so please read this book, share it on, and keep updated too. Love you Lots, Sheya.Complete
Almost, Always 🍁🥀
"Almost, Always" 🍁🌹 Some people enter your life like whispers...soft, sudden, and gone before you can hold on. She didn't expect to see him again. Not after years, not like this. Not when she had finally learned how to forget the boy who never truly left her mind. But fate isn't loud..it's quiet, casual... cruel. In a classroom filled with noise, their glances screamed stories. A slow-burn connection, unsaid words, and almosts that could've been everything. This is not a fairytale. This is a memory rewritten..with the ending she deserved.
