SOMETIMES THE HARDEST DARES LEAD TO THE TRUEST FRIENDSHIPS
Sixteen-year-old Slater Wilcox has spent his life chasing one thing---status. As the Bayman Lions' star pitcher and a junior legacy, he is a top contender for the coveted Bayman King, an annual competition where male junior legacies are given unique dares to outperform the other in hopes of winning the lucrative crown and exclusive rights throughout their senior year. Slater knows the rule is simple...complete the dare, no matter the cost. Confident, untouchable, and on track to continue his family's tradition, Slater thinks he has it all figured out.
But when he is dared to befriend Abigail "Kooky Abbie" Perez, the school's infamous outcast known for her wild ramblings about space and planets, his perfect world tilts off its axis. What should have been an easy, if humiliating, challenge turns into something far more complicated when Slater realizes there's more to Abigail than her Jupiter-obsessed stargazing. The deeper he gets into her orbit, the harder it becomes to keep up the lies, especially when there are secrets about her that no one knows. With his reputation on the line and his so-called friends watching his every move, Slater has to decide. Either risk losing his perfect life or betray the girl who's opened his eyes to a universe bigger than his own.

The Rival Hypothesis
Aria Foster has always stood out-not just for her sharp wit and unapologetic confidence, but for dreaming bigger than anyone around her. For her, science is more than grades; it's a way to change the world. But college isn't just experiments and lectures. It's relentless rivalry, especially with Ryan Clark-the brilliant, precise, awkward genius set on joining NASA. They've spent years battling over test scores, research grants, and the spotlight. No one pushes Aria's buttons quite like Ryan, and he's never let anyone challenge his logic-until now. She's daring and unpredictable; he's orderly and disciplined. Both stand on the edge of their dreams, unwilling to lose to the other. One challenge. Two enemies. And a dangerous hypothesis that could blur the line between rivalry and desire-an experiment neither of them is prepared to survive. ✧✧✧ "You love testing me, don't you?" he mutters, grip tightening around her waist. "Maybe I just like watching you lose control," she teases, her lips inches from his. His breath hitches, but his tone stays dangerous. "Careful. You won't like what happens when I finally snap." She leans in, whispering against his mouth. "Try it. I dare you."

"Get in" comes out his voice, and I must've stood there agape for a few moments because next comes his rhetorical question. "Are you getting in or continuing walking in the rain?"

The Perks Of Falling For Your Bestfriend✔
"In vain have I struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you." -Pride and Prejudice. -Jane Austen. Allison Waters is a girl as simple as they come, atleast that's what she believed. And to be honest she did enjoy a simple life for the past two years. All she wanted to pass her senior year in peace and be happy in life. What she wasn't expecting was to be back in town with a certain Greek God of a Devil acting more annoying than ever... Calling him tall dark and handsome would be the understatement of the century. He is the arrogant quarterback and one of the most popular guys in shcool. He is as I mention previously the reincarnation of the devil in his actions and a Greek God in the looks department, with startling blue eyes, a sinful body and gorgeous hair, who may at different times define the words Cocky and Adorable. Quite a contrast isn't it? Well that's who he is, or for that matter how we all are... a bit of both. Ashton Fobes is Alli's bestfriend, well Ex-Bestfriend, he is also her arch nemisis, her sworn enemy, but he is also the only one who can make her push her limits and challenge her in ways she never thought possible. Soon they were playing with Cupid's arrows trying to set up the unlikeliest couple imaginable, but what they seemed to have forgotten was Fate's wierd sense of humor and so it turned out while they were playing with Cupid's Arrows, he was aiming them at these two instead. Ps: I have now unpublished most of the chapters. Highest Ranking: 30, 35, 50 in teen fiction. 32, 66 in ChickLit. 46, 47, 78 in humor.Complete
