Iris has never been the type to do anything spontaneous. Ever. And yet she spontaneously went for coffee with Ben after a coincidence brought him back in her life...and spontaneously agreed to Ben's invitation to join him and his family for Thanksgiving dinner in the sleepy college town of Rosewood, Georgia. Why? Because there was one thing Ben didn't know: that he was her college crush from 5 years ago, and his reemergence in her life just caused those long buried feelings to rise again.

Is it still possible for Iris to look back to her past for a chance at a better future with Ben? Or has she been the only one cherishing those memories, and this is all wishful thinking toward someone who only sees her as an old friend?

That was, until West came back. West was a childhood friend. They used to play together when they were kids, but as they grew older, they drifted apart and lost touch.

My Online Love. by skipow

Love is the strangest thing, it never happens when you want it too. It almost never happens with who you always thought it would. The world is becoming so reliant of technology that meeting someone online and falling in love isn't that taboo anymore. At least not for Spencer. Spencer has always been the girl everyone looks past, she's not the best dressed or the most popular. And by no means the prettiest. She has funky glasses, has never waxed her eye brows and doesn't know how to do her hair or makeup. She's a tragedy of a girl. But that's what happens when you don't have a mother figure in your life. Where else is she going to find love than online? When her best friend Maddeline steps in and gives Spencer, and her closet a new makeover will she finally find someone to love her? Or will they only be interested in the riches she inherits in a rather untimely death?

Truth, Dare, or Kiss? -COMPLETED- by felicity202

When Ava and her friends decide to play their own version of "Truth or Dare", Ava winds up kissing someone she never expected... and wanting more? --STORY SAMPLE: When I was closer than a foot from him, I tapped him on the shoulder. He turned around and smiled. Oh my lord. This guy was even hotter up close. I shoved all the thoughts from my head and said "Hi. My name's Ava." He smiled again and said "Nice to meet you. I'm Zander." That's all he could say before I kissed him. He immediately tensed up, but then he did something I didn't expect. He kissed me back and grabbed my waist, pulling me closer. I opened my mouth a little in shock, and his tongue went in my mouth. He tasted like rainwater and peppermint. Despite myself, I moaned a little when he deepened the kiss even further. After what felt like 2 hours, we broke apart. "I'm sorry," he said blushing a little "but it just kinda clicked." he explained, rubbing the back of his neck. "It's okay." I said, also starting to blush a little. For 2 minutes the awkward just settled between us, and I swear it was tangible. He broke the silence first, finally meeting my eyes and not staring at his high-tops. "So...", he started and chuckled nervously "Could I get your number?" I stared at him for a second wondering if it would even be a good idea, when he said "I know we don't know each other, but I felt fireworks just now, and even if we don't go on a date, I'd love to see you again." I just smiled and asked for his phone. ------- Remember to vote, follow, comment, etc. :) FOLLOW MY NEW INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT @felicitybwrites

She smiled sweetly in return, "Now, what could I possibly want from you?" His eyes roamed over her face for a minute before his arm shot out and wrapped around her waist. She let out a surprised gasp as she suddenly found herself pressed up against him. She shivered involuntarily as she felt his breath fan her face and stiffened again as she realized how close his face was to her own. •••••••• A story about a group of friends going after the boys they've been secretly in love with for all of high school.

I decided to mess around with her until she finally breaks and confessed how she really feel. "Did you forget you kissed me back." I turned my neck to look at her. She bit her lip and looked down.

Maze by Tara676

(CURRENTLY REVAMPED!) (The Slices of Life, #1) For years, one thing that had always bothered Serena Wilton is the idea of reconciling with a past friend. Whenever he was around, her eyes rested upon him; whether it was at classes or outside of school. She yearned for those wonderful memories again, but the looming fear just wouldn't let her initiate the conversation. Serena clearly remembered how their paths crossed in that one field trip, and the instant click as they interacted. He was nothing but a sunny friend with such contagious confidence... until that accident. Not only did he turn into someone Serena never recognized, but the relationship they built together, soured and crumbled apart. Even so, perhaps her plans can actually work if she's willing to push that stupid anxiety away and speak a word or two. Piece of cake, right?
