The 'It' Boy: The Original 2015 Draft
*BEFORE READING* Note that this is the ORIGINAL draft of my completed novella 'A Side Effect of Celebrity' (formerly named 'The It Boy'. I've kept the original title for this original draft). This draft of the novella was written in 2015 and is in a VERY different style than how I currently write. I've completely rewritten this novella and published it in 2021. That new version is currently complete and available on my profile. Due to requests from readers to see the old draft, I've reposted this old version. Please do not bother to point out spelling/grammar issues or plot holes in this version as I will not EVER be editing this draft. For those who are opening this novella for the first time and have not read the revised 2021 draft, I STRONGLY encourage you to read that version instead of this one. Many of my novels have characters that overlap and appear in multiple books and that is the case for The It Boy. I want to point out that this draft of The It Boy does NOT fit with my other books in terms of timeline or character depictions (it only links to the 2015 draft of Out of Tune, also posted on my profile). In a way, you could think of this book as an alternate timeline to my other novels. *** Claire Shaffer has everything she needs in life.

Timing Is Everything
Life isn't supposed to be interesting for Brooklyn Parell. She goes to school, gets decent grades, has a few close friends and doesn't stand out (or like to). She's never been to a party, never had a boyfriend, never had a job... the list goes on and on. Just as she's spent two years being fed up with her life (and life in general), life decides to throw her an exciting but dangerous curveball by the name of Jay Reeds. Now she has to deal with her new love life, competing drug gangs and normal life problems on top of it all. Brooklyn soon learns that life doesn't care about the timing of things. Life's timing sucks... but sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes, patience pays out big time in the form of new relationships and personal growth. Sometimes, timing is everything. **PG-13 for language and violence** PART TWO: ...and Everything Happens for a Reason IS OUT NOW!!Lengkap

When Love Lasts
SHORT STORY!! There are three things you should know before you start reading our story. One, my name is Vanessa and I'm a fucking idiot. I'm not stupid or anything, I just make idiotic choices that make my life so much harder. Two, this isn't a very good story. Nothing here is perfect and I'm not a very good story teller. It's messy, crazy, unplanned, and at times, it's just fucking stupid. Three, I've always wondered what the point of life is. Being a second choice for everyone around you will make you feel small, invisible, so what's really the point. That always leads me to the question: What is life? I never really found an answer for it, so if you know, please provide me with some insight. Well, now that I have warned each of you, this is the start of our story.Lengkap
