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.

Paralyzed by this new revelation. It was nothing like before, it wasn't gentil, tender or even sweet. It was desperate. Reviving. Intense. We were like north and south. Night and day. Love and hate. And yet that thought only made us feel more alive. ---------- We've all felt that moment in our lives when we feel like we want to die. That simple action to end all the pain and suffering. Because this pain we're feeling is so consuming it drives us to the edge of insanity. It's not fun, is it. Allie Carter lives a normal life, with normal friends and goes to a normal school. The most exciting part of her week is when a new episode of Planet Earth is aired at 8pm on a Tuesday night. Nothing really happens in her boring life. Nothing good. Nothing bad.

Hopelessly Devoted by BriellaDiamond

"Never call a girl a bitch," I glared into his eyes as he opened them, piercing into me, the bright blue drink I had just poured over him still dripping from his dark hair. "Or she just might act like one." I gave him one last sarcastic smile before pushing by him and walking away, practically strutting. Well, this year will be fun... • • • • Crystal Summers; a self-proclaimed expert in all things sarcastic and the human embodiment of destructive decisions. Trying to get away from her troubled past, she moves with her mom to California to start a new life, and potentially not screw this one up. There, she quickly meets Scarlett and Savanah, her new-found partners in crime, and her life finally begins to feel normal again for the first time in years. But she just so happens to also collide with the school's sexy, notorious jackass, Ashton Monroe.. and his pack of asswipes. She loathes him, and the feeling is mutual. But as the poets say, the line separating love and hate is a very thin one. And often times, when two people hate each other, it can grow into much more. Hopeless devotion, if you will... • • • • !!!TRIGGER WARNING!!! • slight mention(s) of suicidal concepts • substance abuse, addiction, anxiety, PTSD • sexual assault, domestic abuse • strong language and mature scenes • • • •

It All Started With A Dare by justanuniquegirl

"Ashton, I know I'm not the usual type of pretty cheerleader you usually hang out with. I'm not sexy, I'm not attractive, and I'm absolutely no fun. The only thing that's good about me is probably is my brain, which coincidentally people find boring about. But I have to ask you this." I took another deep breath and gathered all of my courage I had to say the words that I had never thought would be coming out of my mouth. "Ashton Taylor, can I be your girlfriend?" *** Annabeth Chase had decided to spend her senior year with her close friends and keep her head low at her school.

GREY by AriesBlackWolf

I was frozen to my spot, watching his slightly darkened eyes roam my body and I couldn't help the embarrassment that suddenly coursed through me. Heat rushed up to my face as I timidly moved my eyes away from his intense gaze, crossing my bare legs over one another as I bit my lip. I felt completely vulnerable. The silence was soon thankfully broken when he cleared his throat, bringing my eyes back up to find him turn around to shut the bedroom door. ----------------------------------------------------------- Constantly having to move from town to town due to her father's condition was never easy for Aria Clark.

The Perks Of Falling For Your Bestfriend✔ by Anamtaa

"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.

HOTHEAD by YA_fanatic24

Growing up in a toxic environment, sixteen-year-old Jay Foster has always had psychological problems, coupled with a quick temper. But one night something happens which finally pushes him over the edge, and as a result, he leaves his house the next morning with two things: his mother's gun and a plan. Living with a neglectful and drug addicted mother wasn't easy for Jay, and it definitely didn't help that his father abandoned the family while he was still a child. He harbored a hatred toward his parents, and that hatred extended to almost everyone and everything around him, producing a very troubled and damaged young kid. As Jay enters high school, he becomes very intrigued with one of his classmates. Kind of obsessed, actually. Her name: Mikayla Keeler. Mikayla is very unique, and like Jay, she doesn't seem to fit in with her contemporaries. Instead, the two of them keep each other company, and their friendship very quickly escalates into a romantic and intimate relationship. Despite having Mikayla, Jay's troubles continue to burden him. He and Mikayla are fighting habitually, his home life is still unbearable, and his time at school is hardly any better, made worse by a bully named Calvin. Their mutual dislike of one another leads to a lot of hostility, routinely leading to Jay being sent to his school's principal. One confrontation in particular goes much too far, resulting in Jay's expulsion from school. With everything seemingly piling up, Jay is very close to his breaking point, and late one night he is blindsided by the unthinkable, pushing him much too far and effectively planting in his mind a cruel and horrific plan for revenge.

The Rival Hypothesis by Soul_scriptor

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."
