Things I, Carla Moore, want to accomplish by the end of the summer:
1. Read a book a week. I want to be well-informed on the classics before University in September – knowledge is power, after all.
2. Save at least $2000 over the summer.
3. Get a boyfriend – preferably Victor Jones, God’s gift to us mere peasants.
4. Have the best summer ever with Lilly, Belle and Ash.
5. Lose two stone. (Two and a half if Kit Kat’s stop being so delicious.)
Carla Moore (or Carla Moo, as they called her in primary school) has three months to accomplish The List. Five things that are essential before she embarks on the biggest journey of her life: University. Things aren’t as simple as they seem though when Carla’s personal life is thrown into turmoil, her life-long battle with her weight-issues dictate her personal and social life and she finds herself unable to stop thinking about her life-long best friend who just so happens to have a girlfriend...

Pumpkin and Plum
I am Sam, a 17-year-old in my junior year, weighing 200 pounds. I am fat; calling me fat is an understatement. I am obese. If you call getting a straight A+ in algebra and trigonometry a nerd, well! I am a nerd too. I would be lying if I said that I was never hurt when people called me a 'fatty nerd'. I was hurt. Additionally, being best friends with Mia attracts a lot of bullies. Mia is a blonde. Well, that describes her. She is a blonde through and through. Let me describe her in detail. She has shiny golden blonde hair, startling blue eyes, a sharp nose, and full lips. Did I mention she won 'Miss Teen California'? She is a beauty with no comparison. She is my best friend and won't let anyone bully me. So people calling me fat doesn't bother me anymore. Actually, it makes me happy, seeing the indignation and anger from Mia. She makes me feel special. I would be a fool if I didn't fall in love with this girl. Oh! Yes, I forgot to mention. I love Mia. And she doesn't know that.Complete

The Exchange
"Why are you getting upset?" he asked. "Because everything is different now. Call it my lack of emotional intelligence, but I can't stand you!" "What's different?" "Everything is. You know everything. You're holding the key to the world just above my fingertips." "What?" "You know exactly what I mean." He rubbed his eyes with his hand. "If I'm doing that, it's only because I'm giving it to you. I'm not against you, and I don't know why you think I am. This was supposed to be a peace offering." "I don't want peace. I just-" I couldn't hold back my tears any longer. "I just want everything to go back to the way it was." "Before me?" I nodded. Amanda Jayne is a sports-loving, change-resisting math enthusiast. She loves "her" people more than anything in the world, and nothing can ever break their bond. Or so she thought. When her brother's best friend Viktor moves in as a foreign exchange student, he shows Amanda what loyalty doesn't mean, and that trust can be built up and broken down like sandcastles. Can they learn to coexist, or will their different points of view drive them apart? Rewritten version completed July 14, 2020Complete
