Ever tried losing all your confidence in a single heartbeat?  That was what happened to Alex when she joined the interhouse volleyball game at her school and she found herself lacking the skills of serving the ball across, making her feel very bad.  School classifications also forced her to spend more and more time with her popular friends and stopping her from being her nerdy self with whom she was more comfortable with.  
And then she started having a new feeling called jealousy when she found her ex-friend William dating Sofia, a stuck up stalker of hers.  Will she drop everything, from being at the top of the school pyramid, to find herself, or will she let herself fall in the sea of reputation?

LAW OF ATTRACTION by feufeu15
51 parts Complete Mature
Newton needed an apple to discover the Law of universal attraction. I needed Alex Carter to discover the attraction. Alex Carter, THE BAD BOY. Do I need to say more? Probably not, because everyone knows him. He's the typical bad boy with bad behavior, leather jacket, and that dark aura that makes almost every girl drool over him, along with the fact that he is strong, handsome, with brown hair, tattoos, and a smolder look that can set you on fire. But he's also known for fighting, dealing drugs, vandalism, and so much more that make everyone fear him. He screams Danger. He is Danger. Me, Elena, on the other hand, I'm a nerd. Do I need to say more? Well, there isn't much to say. Nobody knows me. I'm invisible. I always play it safe and follow the rules. I have two friends, and I've been bullied several times because I'm shy, awkward, clumsy, and I have good grades, attributes that don't really help in high school. Everything separates us, or so it seems, yet an irresistible attraction pulls us together. People will say 'opposites attract', but maybe we have more in common than we've thought, and that's what draws us together... Like 2 free electrons, will our encounter result in a rare, beautiful, perfect balance, or will it cause a ravaging explosion? Warning for strong language and mentions, and some steam in the chapters.... ;) _______________________________________ Ranked #1 in #TeenFiction on May 20, 2020, and June 26, 2022 Featured in Wattpad BadassReads' The Badass King reading list THE FALL AWARDS 2021 (ContemporaryLit) Winner of Ambassadors Picks in Romance WRITER'S GLORY AWARDS 1st Place Winner in Teen Fiction PHOENIX AWARDS 2019 Winner of People Review in Romance THE CUPID AWARDS VALENTINE'S EDITION Winner of Cupid's favorites THE ATLA AWARDS Winner in Romance

What happens when someone you once knew returns to your life? Do things go back to the way they were? Are emotions involved? Do people get hurt? Those were the questions going through Elle Paterson's mind when Nick Ross reentered her life. Elle was what one would refer to as the "nerd," when classifying different social standings in high school. She didn't think the same way as everyone around her, and because of that, the kids at her school didn't really understand her. All she saw at school were the snobby girls she couldn't wait to get away from. She was hanging on by a thread, and then, when she least expected it, Nick Ross was there to catch her. It's an odd romance, with twists and turns, the occasional best friend debacle, hint of jealousy, and rich airhead to screw things up. High school has always been a challenge, but who knew a private school could really have this much drama?
