Jonathan Hendrix is your typical high-school nerd. Very creative, loves military history, and has a massive Lego Star Wars and army men collection. He's smart, detailed, and organized.
However, he's also insecure due to his skinny frame and his status as a 'nice guy' in the hierarchy of high school social norms.
All of that changes one day.
While our fearless nerd is celebrating surviving another day of high school, the spaceships of the Hoo-Meerian Matchmaking Empire appear in Earth's skies. Massive blue teleportation beams are fired from their warships, separating the young from the old into Matchvilles, and Jonathan is put next to Helen Grant. Who is this fair maiden? Well, his crush!
Will Jonathan be able to adapt and survive being in such close proximity to the girl he admires? More importantly, will he able to rise up and find a way to free his planet from the cringey rom-com-style tyranny of the Hoo-Meerians?

How to Get a Girl to Like You Back: a useful guide for geeks
A synopsis? Ugh. I thought the title was clear enough but here goes. *clears throat* I'm Alex Ryle, suburban cult leader and TV show connoisseur. Falling for a girl out of my league on my first day in the Land of the Free wasn't on my to-do list, and neither was becoming friends with a multibillionaire and an over excitable... word? (I don't quite know what to call him yet). There's also the blonde spawn of satan ruining my life but we're not going to mention her. Add a weird shirt and a slightly douchey jock to the party, and well... Those are the basic ingredients. Good luck on your quest, pigeons and Mordor refugees!

Chemically Irreversible
HIGHEST RANKING #47 in HUMOR as on 12-11-2016 UNDERGOING HEAVY EDITING. GETS UPDATED REGULARLY. SUPPORT IS WELCOME. COVER BY @AliasRain XXXXX "What will you do if the world was on fire?", I ask. I'll probably blame God for setting the world on fire in the first place. I don't understand why God does such things to good people even when they worship him with all their heart. "I'll take a marshmallow, sit back and roast it. Why not die while enjoying the sugary heaven instead of blaming God for my loss." Kris replied. XXXXX Christiana Hall and Kris Watson. Two very different souls but very similar, all at the same time. Both share the same love for Chemistry and are misunderstood. Both are hard core science junkies, stubborn and competitive. Call them nerds or geeks, whatever floats your boat. Christiana is too good with computers and doesn't believe in love. She knows better than to fall for sheer stupid vulnerability. Her beliefs are based on what the future might hold for her and not based on some terrible past. But what she doesn't know is that someone who can change the way she thinks might cross her path. Kris, considered to be a stereotypical reserved boy, only puts up a facade of one. In reality, he is too nice for his own good. He is chased by one girl in particular a lot and the boys call him 'The Freak'. He is bad with computers and believes in love. His only love has been chemistry before it comes to him in the disguise of a cynical girl. Christiana and Kris have a rocky journey of pranks, friendship and chemistry along with a few punches thrown here and there ahead of them that leads to the discovery of an irreversible reaction. It's going to be legen...Waitforit...dary! 'Watch this break all stereotypes.'Complete
To Capture A Heart ✔
*She wasn't looking for love - just snacks and a nap. But then he smiled...* ~True love? Unexpected. Emotional growth? Unwanted. Drama? Inevitable.~ Veronica D'Costa isn't exactly the main character type just - a regular teen: emotionally avoidant, chronically sarcastic, and fully committed to winging her way through life, with her loyal (and mildly chaotic) friend group. One night. One betrayal. That changed everything. Now Veronica's pretending, deflecting, and power-napping her way through emotions. But when a certain boy - golden-eyed, infuriatingly kind, and way too observant - starts asking the right questions, she'll have to do the one thing she's avoided all year: feel. Because surviving senior year means more than just acing math or mastering beer pong - it means facing what broke her, before she lets it define her. She's growing up. She's falling in love. And she might just be the main character after all. Messy, meaningful, and mildly chaotic - this is the year everything changes. Even her. P.S.- This isn't a fairy tale. It's a slightly sarcastic coming-of-age crisis.Complete
Falling For An Inmate
Prison Diaries: Book 1 (complete) A law-abiding student gets entangled with a broody inmate when she discovers there has been a miscarriage of justice. She goes in to help, but ends up breaking the first rule of interning at a prison; she falls for the inmate. ***** Carter Reynolds' teenage years ended the second the gavel hit the sound block. Or maybe they ended when the police found him standing over a dead body, drenched in blood. It might even have been before that. When he connected his fist with a face that left a broken jaw in its wake. Either way, it was over. He was sentenced to 25 years in prison. He accepted his fate, only promising himself to never care for anyone so intensely again. Almost four years into his sentence, Arya Crawford walks through the wrought iron prison gates. A self-proclaimed miniature philanthropist with a heart of gold, a law-abiding student with an urge to always have fun, a girl with a silent cause. She had taken up an internship at the New York State Penitentiary. And in time, Carter and Arya both realize something. She had broken the first rule instructed by the warden. She had fallen for an inmate. Which meant she couldn't stay. He had broken the promise he made to himself. He had started to care for her. Which meant he couldn't let her leave. But it's a little difficult to make that happen when you're stuck in a closet sized cell. And waiting twenty-one years is out of the question. ***** Highest Rankings: #6 in Romance, #2 in Passion, #4 in Badboy, #1 in Witty (for those who don't think an inmate/prison trope is their cup of tea, don't be put off because the story is first and foremost 'romance') Disclaimer** Reader discretion advised. - Mature content Story contains explicit language, sexual content, and physical and sexual violence.Complete
Nothing to lose
My best friend Greyson McNamara and I have been partners in crime for a while now. Pranks, sneaking out to go to parties, joy riding in our parents' cars, all that crazy teen stuff, we made a pact to do together. And surprise surprise, dating each other was never on that list. I mean it's not like Grey is a bad looking guy or anything. Wink wink. Now back to that no dating thing. For years, we heard about how we would be a cute couple and how we are perfect for each other. Of course, we always laughed it off until one day we didn't. Our senior year has ended with two back to back breakups and all we can think is that we have nothing to lose. That includes us thinking that it can't hurt to try to date each other for the summer before college. We made a promise to each other that we'll stay friends no matter what. Like I said we have nothing to lose. But what if I'm wrong?Complete
