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.

The Trouble With Fake Dating by HarperCalloway
15 parts Complete
When Ava Collins discovers her crush and best friend betraying her at a party, her carefully planned college life shatters in an instant. Desperate to salvage her pride and avoid becoming the campus pity case, she makes an impulsive deal with Lucas Bennett, the irresistible golden boy she's spent years avoiding. Their arrangement seems simple: fake date for three months, make Noah jealous, and help Lucas convince his demanding parents he's finally settling down. No real feelings, no messy complications, no broken hearts. But what starts as carefully negotiated pretense quickly ignites into something neither expected. Every stolen glance, every lingering touch, every moment of unexpected vulnerability blurs the lines they promised to maintain. As Lucas's jealous ex and family pressure threaten to tear them apart, Ava and Lucas must navigate the dangerous territory between performance and reality. Because sometimes the most authentic love grows from the most artificial beginnings. And sometimes the hardest part isn't falling for someone, it's admitting that what you thought was fake has become the most real thing in your life. In a world of carefully curated images and social media facades, can two people find something genuine? Or will the trouble with fake dating prove that some lines, once crossed, can never be uncrossed?

The Bad Boy and Me by readbooksforever
36 parts Complete
Meet Violet Summers. She's the sarcastic girl who doesn't really ever get noticed by anyone. She blends into any crowd because of how "normal" she is. And she loves it. She wouldn't be able to stand the attention of everyone around her. That's why she won't tell Ryan Bloore, her crush for three years, that she practically worships the ground he walks on. Ryan is the captain of the basketball team at their school, so guys see him like he's a god and girls act like he walks on water. If they were to date, all eyes would be on her- she would be under everyone's scrutiny. So she's kept her feelings a secret, and she's done her best to suppress her emotions these past years, but she's realized that she's been so caught up in making people not notice her that she didn't realize how lonely she would be when no one was watching. Now meet Ryder Knight. School bad boy. Quarterback captain and heartthrob. The kind that wears a leather jacket and has tattoos all over his arms. The one who shows up to school riding a motorcycle. Just your average run of the mill "if you get involved with this guy, you will meet some serious trouble" kind of male. Well, too bad for Violet, she's stuck with him now. After all of the years of pushing away her feelings for Ryan because of her fear of being seen, she is now all anyone can look at- because of Ryder. Because of him, she can feel their stares, and she hates him for it. The longer they spend time together, the more Ryder starts to realize he actually enjoys being around her-despite her snarky comments about how much she despises him. And if Violet is being completely honest with herself, she's also starting to realize she might not actually hate the fact that people are noticing her now, but hate the way Ryder makes her feel.
