highschool journialist love romance teen

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.All Rights Reserved

Hate Me Gently by Shototodoroki20234

Arielle James has her life perfectly planned-graduate at the top of her class, land a scholarship, and leave her tiny town behind for good. She doesn't have time for distractions, especially not ones that come in the form of brooding boys with too many detentions and not enough ambition. Enter Knox Wilder-tattoos, attitude, and a permanent seat in the back of every class. He's exactly the kind of chaos Arielle avoids... until she's forced to tutor him if she wants to keep her academic honors. Knox makes it clear he doesn't want her help. Arielle's sure she doesn't care. But the more time they spend together, the more the lines blur-and the more Arielle realizes Knox isn't failing on accident. He's hiding something, and it has everything to do with why he pushes everyone away. Falling for him was never part of the plan. But some plans are meant to fall apart.

Firelight by TheSnailMail

Ava Harte had life handed to her on a silver spoon, rich family, rich friends, rich school, the "easy life" as most would say. But what if this wasn't the kind of life she wanted? What if she just wanted more than just the material things and the shiny plastic? And she gets her wish, when a boy from her past keeps popping back and forth everywhere, old feelings start to surface, but she's done with all that drama, she's bottled up and hid away those feelings to protect herself, most especially her heart. But she hates her current life, so she's brought by two choices: push the one boy that once rocked and ruined her entire world and continue her fake, shiny life or take a risk and give him another chance.

Not Your Typical Bad Boy by maddrawsstuff

Hayden Hillson didn't care about grades, school, teachers, or detention. His time was better spent smoking pot, skating, and celebrating with his friends- for no good reason. Just because there's no better way to spend a Friday night, in his eyes. His family says he wasn't always this way- younger Hayden would be embarrassed of his turnout at age 18. They figure maybe attending college- the only college Hayden could get into that is, could make Hayden find himself again within his own education. Carter Sandler was the opposite of Hayden in every which way. As a child, Carter was constantly chasing her wealthy parents approval- got good grades, did well in sports, and was socially popular. She was the, "it" girl in every way- but it was never enough, and Carter had had enough seeking others approval despite her successes. Carter saw college as her first opportunity to experience life through her own lens- not her parents. But the first week of college turns out to be the nightmare between both, as they find themselves at the biggest party of the beginning of the semester. After a messy argument, the two couldn't stand the sight of each other. Who knows- they could be more similar than they thought? A cheesy, steamy, stupid-in-love story of a bad boy in love with a good girl. The type of story that is similar to a romcom chic flick- so bad, but so good it keeps you coming back.

She's in love with her best friend. And she's willing to do anything to keep him. Lucas Windsor has been the center of her world since the day they met. Charming. Magnetic. Untouchable.

When Lucas announces he's going to marry his longtime girlfriend, Ava, something inside Alexandra snaps. The perfect world she's imagined begins to twist into something dangerous. She tells herself it isn't madness-it's destiny. Four months until the engagement. Four months to make him hers. As the clock ticks down, Alexandra's affection takes a darker turn. Lies blur with truth. Reality bends under the weight of her desire. And soon, people begin to notice that something about her isn't quite right. But Alexandra isn't the only one with secrets. Someone else is watching-someone who knows exactly what she's done... and what she's planning next. In a story where love turns to obsession and obsession turns to something far deadlier, Alexandra will discover that the line between devotion and destruction is razor-thin- and once you cross it, there's no way back.

Accidentally in Stares by EriceMain

Iris Dawson is smart, witty, and too damn self-aware for her own good. Between juggling chemistry assignments and trying to keep her heart from jumping out of her chest every time her gaze lands on Andre, her charming classmate, things are about to get complicated. Andre's got the whole "nice guy" thing down, but there's a spark in his eyes every time he looks at Iris that has her second-guessing everything she knows about herself. When a simple accidental touch in class sets off a chain of events, Iris can't decide if Andre is flirting or just being friendly. But as their friendship blossoms, the lines between casual glances and something more blur. Can Iris trust her feelings, or is she just overthinking things-again? This is a story about trying to stay cool when everything in you wants to scream, laugh, or just run away from the crush that's slowly taking over her life. It's science. It's chemistry. And most of all, it's about the explosive, beautiful mess that is falling for someone.
