Ava Simmons is a senior in high school with a dream of becoming a successful journalist who is suddenly given an opportunity to write a school news report on star student, the all around perfect guy, James Lowell. 
James Lowell, the boy who has it all,  the boy who everyone adores and envies because of his good looks, academic perfection and athletic talents. The task should be easy enough, and it probably would have been, if James  wasn't actually a self centred and pretentious prick who'd both purposely and unintentionally make her life a living hell.  But James also has his reasons, or so it appears. There's a looming secret that haunts him, one that can destroy his dreams, and everything that he's worked for. Now Ava must face the ultimate decision,  would she follow her journalist instincts and write the truth while potentially letting his future crumble, or let go of the story for the sake of the boy she's suddenly grown to care for.

He Has Me by HappyRainbowDays
12 parts Complete Mature
Audrey is an up and coming journalist who is trying to be taken seriously in the news business. However, one wild night out with friends lands her in the arms of Brandon Thomas, a fairly well-known near celebrity who is gaining star power with every movie he is in. When he discovers who he has shared a night with, he's livid, and thinks she slept with him for a story. Audrey finds him arrogant, and is mortified that she might not be taken seriously by her counterparts if they find out about her between the sheets romp with the hottie of the week. She's known plenty of women making their way to the top from bed to bed, and has always been determined not to be one of them. Finally, they part ways with the insistence that neither ever speak of what has occurred between them. But each minute apart seems to be torturous for both, as they recall in vivid detail the way they touched and connected with one another which leads to growing desperation to see one another again. Neither is ready to admit that they have real feelings for each other. Finally they can bear it no more and they plan an encounter, just to get it out of their system. Unfortunately, this only seems to make things more potent and intense between them. They have no choice but to give romance a chance, but will the risk they take prove to be the unraveling of Audrey's future?

Maybe by IronyDreams
70 parts Complete Mature
An internal voice whispered, "Call him." But I chose not to. I dismissed it once more, saying, "He never liked me anyway." Yet the dilemma lingered. "But maybe he does. The way he looks at you... it's different." Out of nowhere, he glanced my way. My heartbeat quickened, sending shivers down my spine. I averted my gaze, pretending to look around. "Has he noticed me? No, wait-oh my god." --- After switching high schools, Nina discovered a new way of life. She fell in love, made wonderful friends, and everything seemed perfect. But Ethan-a popular boy who never focused on anyone but her-was the object of her hatred. He was always there, always keeping her safe. He used to annoy her endlessly. She hated him deeply. Until she didn't. For a while, she was content with her high school experience. That is, until something mysterious turned her world upside down. Forced to move to a new city, Nina had to cut ties with everyone she once knew. Eight years later, fate brings her face-to-face with him again. "Ethan..." He's the key to everything-the truths she never knew. When she was lost in the dark, he always held the light. But now, things are different. She despises him. He's colder than ever. Or perhaps she fears him. Fears that he'll leave her again. Will their lives ever return to normal after everything they've endured? "Maybe?" "Maybe yes. Maybe no?" --- Started: 8 November 2021 Ended: 19 December 2022 Rewritten: December 2024 --- ### Rankings Goals So Far: #1 Adolescente #1 given up #1 blinddates #1 pretend #10 twistedromance #50 high school romance --- ### Notice: This is my first published story, and it contains numerous grammatical errors and bad editing.

Riley and Devin by RoseAndBone
83 parts Complete Mature
"How many romance books do you read?" Devin asks me. I shrug. "I like them," I say. I keep browsing, running my fingers along the spines. "So, you like romance then?" he asks me. I nod. "What's your favorite part of a love story?" "I like the very first kiss, but I like the second one even more," I say. I bite my lip and look at him. Oh. My. God. What the hell am I doing? Am I flirting? I think that I'm actually flirting. With Devin. Devin, my best friend. I have officially lost my mind. I should probably stop. But I can't seem to. "Will you grab me that one?" I ask. I point above my head, my back's pressed against the bookcase. He locks his gaze on mine and reaches over me to grab the book I asked for. "Thanks." I don't move and neither does he. Riley and Devin have been best friends forever-since Kindergarten. It's Senior year of high school, now. And it's always been simple, Riley's got his back, he's got hers. But as life goes on Riley can't help but wonder if maybe he's not just her best friend, if she likes him as possibly something more. As her feelings deepen and become something greater it becomes more evident that she's falling, really hard. No matter how hard Riley tries she can't stop falling, she can't stop from loving him. Even if it tears her to pieces or even if it destroys their friendship. Pretty soon Riley is going to have to choose between walking the safe line of friendship or taking the unpaved path of love. Will she risk everything for love?
