Mia has always preferred to stay in the background, quietly observing the world around her. At the annual community fair, she becomes the target of a cruel joke led by Claire, the town's popular girl who hides her insecurities behind charm and manipulation. As the laughter directed at Mia grows louder, she feels the sting of humiliation-but something shifts. The very crowd mocking her begins to question Claire's motives.

In a moment of unexpected courage, Mia steps forward and challenges the facade Claire has carefully constructed. Her bold stand for authenticity and self-worth silences the crowd, forcing everyone to see through the mask of popularity. With the support of newfound friends, Mia discovers the power of embracing who she truly is, rather than conforming to others' expectations.

"Behind the Facade" is a heartfelt journey of self-discovery, empowerment, and breaking free from the shadows of judgment. Mia's story is a powerful reminder that true strength lies in being genuine, even when the world pressures you to be someone else. Will Mia's courage to stand up for herself change the dynamics of her community, or will she retreat back into the background?All Rights Reserved

Ice cream, Teasing and Awkward Situations by miadaley17

Mia Collins just wanted to get through her senior year of high school with as minimal awkward situations as possible. However, that's kind of hard to do when you have a narcissistic arch-nemesis who's hell-bent on ruining your life. From the moment he laid eyes on her, he seemed to take an immediate dislike. After all, it only took a measly few hours of knowing her for him to kick a soccer ball right at her unsuspecting 11-year-old face. Though they did not know it then, this iconic moment would mark the beginning of what felt like a lifelong feud. Six years later and their mutual hatred for one another is still very much alive and kicking. She despised him, and he despised her and that's the way it always would be. But what happens when sparks fly, and stomachs flutter? Will someone break the eternal feud? One's thing for sure- Mia will definitely not be the one to break. ----------------------------------------- If you're looking for a hilarious, light-hearted teen-fiction book, with a whole load of embarrassing situations, this is the read for you.

Behind the Innocent Smile by dahlia0318

Emma Chase. She may seem as a normal high school girl with a fiery spirit. Always smiling and laughing to jokes told by her friends. But was it real? Was the smile real and not fake, the laughs true and not forced. We don't know. Nobody does. Emma is so used to hiding her emotions and putting on a facade that in her old school everyone thought her facade was the real her. She had to live up to the standards her facade made and live in the lie that was "Chase". Back then she was reckless, daring and wild to the point where it got out of hand. She had built herself a reputation that didn't fit her. Everyone has secrets. Whether or not you tell anyone them is your choice, but not for Emma. She has too many to count and too many that she drowns in them, but she stays afloat because she knows the burden that they are and she's built herself to carry it all. She's learned to ignore the scars and demons and hide her secrets. Now she gets a restart at life. In a new city where no one knows or heard of her or rather "Chase". With these new faces will she hide behind this facade of her's or allow herself to be her. Will she have come this far only to have this chance ripped from right under her feet because of her old habits? Will Emma find her way back and defeat her demons? With lots of alcohol and a few bruises, here and there, along the way; Will she learn to let her walls fall and face what lies behind them? Will history repeat itself? You'll have to read to find out. To know what happened in her past for her to hide. To find out what is behind the innocent smile of Emma Chase. ~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~• "Your smile can be described as a lot of things, Chase.

Pumpkin and Plum by SowmyaVenkatesan1

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.
