Nate Archibald x FemaleOC!

<3-------------------------<3

She wasn't patient. 
She wasn't welcoming to those born on the outside, and she sure as hell wasn't known as 'nice'.
She wasn't an outsider but she was more than happy to stick to the sidelines. Her presence hung heavily next to her generation's core four but she liked it that way. Words were Blair's weapon of choice whereas silence was her's. She knew it all but didn't speak it until she chose. 
Hence why she was once public enemy number one in the search for Gossip Girl.
Silent but deadly. 
Bitchy, but not a bitch.
A nightmare dressed like a damn daydream
She walked the earth with something to prove with and every opportunity to do so. 

Mari Bechtel knew her worth but outside of the safety of her skull she refrained from voicing it. Deadly within the walls of Constance Billard but dead inside her own home. Cold and callous to those who observed but bubbling with passion with those who gave her enough time to express it. Living in a dichotomy between who the public saw her as who she was when alone. 
All of which earned her her very own Gossip Girl-given moniker. 
Class snake. 

Easily charmed by the wiles of a fawn-haired boy and poisonous to those around her she deems 'unfit' to fraternize with. 
The boy of note known by the name of none-other than Nate Archibald. For their relationship was the perfect blend between mommy and daddy issues. A freudian nightmare culminating in years of pining and ignorance.

"How could I ever trust someone again when the world had already let me down?" I whispered to myself, standing at the edge of the city, my bag packed with everything I had left. My heart ached for a future that seemed uncertain, one where love felt impossible. But that was before I met him. Before Nathan Anderson, the boy who would challenge everything I thought I knew about myself." -------------- Pia has always kept her heart guarded, shaped by the scars of her past. Forced to leave behind a small town and a life full of struggles, she's now in a world where everything feels foreign-luxury, expectations, and the constant pressure to succeed. At 18, she's determined to prove that she can make it on her own, even if it means keeping everyone at arm's length. Nathan is everything Pia isn't popular, confident, and effortlessly charming. At 18, he's the star of his school, his future already planned out by a life of privilege. Yet there's something about Pia that intrigues him, something that makes him want to know her beyond the walls she's built around herself. The more he observes her, the more he feels drawn to a side of her he can't quite understand. As their paths cross, emotions stir, and what started as a simple connection becomes a tangled web of uncertainty. Can Pia open up to someone who seems to have everything, or will her past keep her from embracing the future? And for Nathan, can he break through her defenses, or will his own fears stand in the way? "Fate brought them together, but can they hold on when everything else pulls them apart?"

His lips trail down my neck, sending shivers all over. "I love looking at you," he breathes, brushing the hair off my shoulders. "Will you let me look at you?" My heart hammers, a wild thing seeking his. "Yes." So he does. And I feel it. For a long moment, I just feel his eyes. Then, his hands. They skim down my spine, bowing my body into his. When his lips find my throat, I lean back into his hands, my eyes closing. He kisses between my breasts, then across them, taking my nipples into his mouth, swirling his tongue, sucking, and kissing, always kissing. I gasp lightly, my fingers curling into his hair. His response is a smile against my skin. He explores the expanse of my chest, my stomach, my shoulders. He pulls my arms out to kiss them, all the way to my wrists...all the way back. He presses affection into my skin, injects trust into my veins. Then he eases me to my back and does it all over again. ******* An obscure tutoring opportunity brings Camila closer to three friends: Noah, Jed, and Fox. After hiding in the shadows for so long, Cam is coaxed to the light. 𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙙𝙖𝙧𝙠𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙞𝙣𝙨𝙞𝙙𝙚 𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙝𝙖𝙨 𝙩𝙚𝙚𝙩𝙝 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙗𝙞𝙩𝙚 STANDALONE NOVEL C O N T A I N S : ᯓ sexual/mature content ᯓ violence/abuse ᯓ found family H I G H E S T RANKINGS: #1 romancestories #1 completed #1 collegeromance WattpadONLY Copyright © 2024 immoralLaurel.

And she's certainly no snitch. She's had a fine life. But she wanted something more. And so she created chaos. She was misjudged and misunderstood. And now she's the havoc of Birchwood Prep. They call her the devil's bitch, the principal's worst nightmare, and a screwed up whore. They can think what they want, JJ Ashton has heard these all throughout high school. She doesn't want a future, she just wants to take control of now. She's everything Birchwood Prep doesn't want, but is deemed to get after her Father decided it was the only option for her to find some discipline. She's not going to make it that easy for them. Gideon Andrews is the perfect student. Good grades, never missed a day, and never had been in trouble of any sort. He thinks life is great, but meeting JJ, she thinks life for him could be better. Less plain and vanilla. He hates her guts. It's mutual for her as well. But the headmaster has made it Gideon's personal mission to get her back on track and into a better life. She's allowed two screw ups, has to join a sports team, pass all of her classes with at least a C and get some friends before the year is over, or she will be held back. And she's not about to go another year in the hellhole called high school.

"Stop whining like a little princess," Devyn spoke so only he could hear. "The quicker you shut the hell up, the quicker we get this over with." Lexin's pulse skyrocketed as he realized this was actually happening. His scalp burned from the hard grip, but his body welcomed it. Lexin looked at Devyn with shock before his eyes turned to slits, a nasty glare forming. His body jerked when he felt Devyn's other hand rest at the base of his neck, thumb pressing at the dip of his collarbone and throat. The world halted when Lexin felt those soft lips on his neck. His mind went haywire. ~'~ Lexin wasn't depressed. He was aloof, careless, reckless, and had a bad case of insomnia. Which might be symptoms of depression. After his parents pass in a tragic accident, he's forced to move in with Monica Vale, his mom's best friend. Due to his lack of family, she was named his guardian. This would all be good and well. Lexin could go on brooding and driving his life into the dirt. Or at least he could have, if it weren't for her arrogant son, Devyn Vale. Devyn and Lexin had despised each other for years. Since the beginning of eighth grade, they decided they no longer liked each other. Devyn was a goodie two shoes with perfect grades, a captain title for the lacrosse team, a perfect volleyball girlfriend, and an annoyingly large group of friends. Lexin was a bit of a loner. He had claimed the 'bad boy' title at school. Partying had always been his thing, but when his parents died it took a turn for the worse. He had two friends, Christina Faix from second grade and Luca Harrison from the lacrosse team. Other than that, he didn't communicate much unless he was hooking up with some poor soul. Now his lacrosse captain was not only up his ass at school but also lived with him. The two boys are forced into close proximity and things build up for the worse. What happens when the tension explodes at a game of truth or dare in the middle of a party?

𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐂𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐀 𝐂𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐓 (ANGEL) Older. Scary. Silent. Damon Lars was always lurking in the shadows, a sinister presence that scared me. It would be oblivious for me not to notice him even in the darkest areas. He was there. Maybe invisible to others, not to me. My brother's best friend, Damon, was notorious for his dark reputation. While I immersed myself in books, I could feel his gaze upon me. Sometimes, I feel him notice me too. No one knows what happens when all my brother's friends are busy. I saw him. Every day. And I vowed to keep my mouth shut. My secret. And his. STELLA RUSSEL (PRINCESS) Rich. Entitled. Bratty. That was me, and I'm proud. I hated Grayson Meadows. He constantly treated me as if I were a spoiled rich brat - which I was - our fathers being business partners made us around each other a lot. Despite his mocking, he always protected me, causing me to feel uneasy in his presence. If I harbor such animosity towards him, why do I find myself concerned for him too? I hate him. But I fucking need him more. LILIANA ROSELINE (DOLLFACE) Jaxon's intense gaze always sent shivers down my spine, as if he could see right through me. He was Marci's violent older brother, a brooding figure with a penchant for chaos. Danger seemed to emanate from him like a dark aura. Yet, amidst his menacing aura, he would fixate his eyes on me, as if I were the epitome of perfection. But could a girl, so perfect, ever be enticed by a man like him? Yes, because I'm so deep down in love with him. AVERY RAVEN (LITTLE DEVIL) Alessio, the loud figure, refers to me as the 'little devil' and feigns animosity towards me. He says he hates me a lot. However, deep down, I am aware that his feelings are quite the opposite. In the dead of night, when the world slumbers, he clandestinely dials my number on each of my birthdays, evoking an unsettling sensation within me. Until last summer, when everything went south and I ruined Alessio's life

Just when I thought I had escaped Jay's taunting, I hear his voice from the doorway. "Do you have a thing for the new boss? Are you really that pathetic?" He continues his beratement. The shame he inflicts on me shakes through my hands as I pour coffee grounds into the filter. It grows into defensive irritation with little additional thought. "Are you that pathetic?" I twist it around on him. "You have nothing better to do than make believe interoffice romances? Honestly, get a girlfriend or something." "Are you volunteering?" "No." I answer quickly, almost laughing. "You couldn't pay me enough." He shakes his head. "Is that what you do for money? Whore around people doing better than you?" The words come from his mouth with hardly any time for him to have thought them through. I guess insults like this are second nature to him. "Maybe that's why you're after Porter now." "Would you shut up?" I ask, my tone adopting a harsh edge. "Your stupidity is giving me a headache." My finger hits the start button on the coffee maker a little harder than necessary before I turn and try to leave. Jay stands in my way. "And your desperation is giving everyone in this office something to laugh at." He looks down at me in intimidation. "At least keep your diseases to yourself instead of spreading it around the office for money." Nothing is worse than an overconfident asshole. At least, not to Raven, being a single mom is hard enough. Unfortunately for her, the term 'asshole' barely begins to describe her coworker. Jay Forester is conceited, breathes out an insult with every breath, and vindictive for no apparent reason. Every moment spent with him pushes Raven closer to her whits end, and she doesn't even know the whole story yet. But then again, neither does he.

"Every step you take away from me only drives you closer to the brink of my madness. You belong to me, Winter. Any alternative reality or illusion you hope for- I will destroy them until your very existence is entwined with mine." -𝐈𝐯𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐫𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐞 Eighteen-year-old Winter has always been a quiet shadow, a shy spy avoiding the perils of the spotlight. But when she's tasked with stalking five powerful Heirs, her carefully crafted invisibility shatters. Her mission is clear: erase their scandals, track their every move, and never draw attention. Yet, when she crosses paths with Ivan Arcane-the ruthless heir to one of the world's most powerful empires-everything changes. At first, Ivan saw her as dull and dependent, an insignificant watcher in the crowd. A beautiful doll to be kept locked and safe somewhere- an innocence belonging nowhere near him or his world. But when she makes one fatal mistake, he uncovers the sharp, wild mind she's concealed beneath fragile masks of pink and purples. Now, Ivan is obsessed, determined to dismantle her defenses and claim her as his own. And In a world where power rules, Winter is no longer the Hunter in the game -she's Ivan's fixation, a prey to a predator and he'll stop at nothing to change the very narrative of the fairy tale so the villain gets the girl in the end.
