In Bridge Jumping, the reader meets Jaime Sawyer at the end of sixth grade. Jaime has two best friends, Hannah and Jess, but she also has  aspirations of someday sitting at the cool table in the school cafeteria. She loves life and adventure and prides herself in being a daredevil.  Jaime's uncomplicated innocence is shattered early in the seventh grade when she undergoes a traumatic experience, becomes ill and is forced to miss three months of school. During this time she recognizes the face in the mirror less and less as she struggles to hold on to the image of herself as a brave daredevil.  The reader is welcomed inside Jaime's head and heart as she deals with the scary reality of living with Graves Disease. Jaime is frank and honest about how it feels to lose sight of the healthy girl she was.When she returns to school, she discovers the worst of the experience has yet to come. While she was out, rumors had abounded about where she was, and why she was gone. She finds herself in a very different place, socially -  the cool table not only seems impossibly far away now, it's no longer even a thought in her head. The only thing she can think about is getting through each day - the teasing and name calling - and getting back to the safety of her home.  By the end of the book, Jaime comes to realize that all she really needs to survive the treacherous journey of middle school is the love and support of her family, a true, strong belief in herself and one good friend.  For those who have been through similar experiences, Jaime's journey may be comforting. For others, perhaps it will be eye-opening - shedding light on the ramifications of one's words and actions.All Rights Reserved

Remember This✔ by autumnskiess

She has been moved around the country continuously, dropped off with a new foster family every couple of months that are too out of their depth to deal with her. When she is relocated back to California at seventeen, Molly has nothing left to live for. Believing that suicide is her only option, Molly makes the brave decision to end it all one fateful night . She had the perfect plan; nothing was supposed to go wrong. Just one choice, one jump, and she'd be with her family again. Charlie has never had to consider his own empathy towards strangers. He's arrogant, selfish and becomes unbearably irritated with other people's problems. But when he sees Molly standing on the edge of the bridge and ignores every part of himself that wants to walk away, something awakens inside of him that he never realized was there.

A Boy Named Jasper {Wattpad Featured Novel} by MidnightRose55

For with God nothing shall be impossible. (Luke 1:37) ~~~~~ Jasper is a screwed up kid, yet no one cares enough to find out why. Bruises hide his arms and alcohol stains the walls of his house, but he pushes forward because it's the only thing left for him to do. His days are spent in and out of the school psychologist's office, while his nights are spent in fear of his father. His guitar and the secluded spot by the train tracks where he likes to play are the only saving graces in the hell that is his life. No one disrupted this normal routine until Callie came. Callie is far from screwed up; she doesn't have family issues and doesn't understand the first thing about Jasper's world. Her house is filled with answered prayers and smiles of people who love each other. Her arms are clear and her head is full of optimism that Jasper doesn't buy for a second. She never second guessed her sunny disposition on life until she stumbled upon a boy and his guitar down by the train tracks. Callie and Jasper weren't supposed to cross paths. She wasn't supposed to care and he wasn't supposed to let her get under his skin, but then again opposites weren't supposed to attract either. Callie saw the good in him where most people thought there was none ; she was captivated by Jasper because he made her question everything she knew about the world. She thought it would be easy to teach him that there was still good left in the world, that there was more beyond all the bad he'd become accustomed to. She thought fixing him would be easy, but nothing worthwhile is ever easy and sometimes it takes more than one girl's overly optimistic persistence to pull a person out of the hell they've been living in; sometimes it takes faith and realizing that some things can't be done without it... ~~~~~ -Highest Ranking: #8 in spiritual, 10/25/17 ; #1 in Christianity, 2019 -Wattpad Featured Novel: 10/19/17

Rise To Fame by Anon_05123

"Jamie," I say in a low voice. "Please move out the way." "Look, I'm sorry, okay? I was just messing around, you know that." "Please move," I say again. "Look at me. I'm just joking-" My fist flies forward and connects with his nose before I can comprehend it happening. "Ow! Fuck, y/n!" He covers his nose with his hand as the blood starts to pour, and I take my chance to run out of the bathroom. You've always admired him for his work, but his arrogance grows persisting and irritating. So when he asks you on a date, you decide to have a little fun with him. But you find he's hiding something.

Chasing the Boy by adeterding

When Jaime - newly high-school-liberated girl- meets Gregg - beautiful college boy - she couldn't be more smitten. He is a dream come true and something about their meeting has the feel of fate. They talk about traveling the world, future ambitions and the importance of family, among other philosophical issues. Jaime thinks she has met her soulmate and can just hear the chords of Pachelbel's Canon ringing in her head. She is beginning to fantasize about their future wedding and what they will name their children when he tells her he is going to Greece for the entire summer. Even worse - he is leaving the very next morning. Jaime finds herself in a romantic funk. After meeting Mr. Right, no boy stands a chance. All around her, summer romance blossoms and it makes her want to puke. When she discovers an acquaintance has a crush on her - a young man who would've been quite cute if it weren't for the unfortunate uni-brow parked on his forehead - she gives into the pressure of her best friend and embarks on an awkward romance, which has an even more awkward ending. Jaime decides she is going to wait for Gregg to get home from Greece, and she's going to make him fall in love with her. She heads into battle armed with her the support of her friends and tons of research on how to make a man fall in love. As time passes and she gets to know him, she realizes that Gregg is less like Mr. Sensitivity and more like Casanova, with his belt of many notches. Dealing with disillusionment is not the best time for another guy to enter the picture, but he does anyway. Joey, her younger brother's red-headed, glasses-wearing best friend, seems like a major pain in the backside - especially when he dethrones Jaime from her reign as Queen of Clue. Underneath his flippant attitude is a charm and wit that eventually convinces Jaime that sometimes, real love comes in the most surprising packages.

The Smile She Gives You by Juliaaa_k
