"The boys, the girls, they all like Carmen
She gives them butterflies, bats her cartoon eyes
She laughs like God, her mind's like a diamond
Audio tune lies, she's still shining
Like lightning, ohh, white lightning."
(Lana Del Ray- Carmen)
Carmen is a 16 year old blonde haired beauty who is the gem of Roslyn High. Everyone knows her, but no one knows her story.
"Every time I close my eyes, he's always there. Staring. Staring deep into my soul with those crimson eyes. He never says anything he just stays...and stares."
On the outside in front of her audience at school she's the one in the spotlight. At home on the inside she's lost all sense of self. Who is the boy in her mind? Why is he there? Most importantly....is he her dream? Or her nightmare?

You've heard this story before. It's a tale of predictability, unoriginality, and clichés. Set in Huntington Bay, our story follows Carmen, a sixteen-year-old high school student with an epic bicycle kick. Carmen currently lay in limbo with a perverted boss and a cheating ex-boyfriend and could not talk to her so-called best friend; she was having a typical teenage meltdown. She wants to find a way to turn her fake smiles into something tangible. As Carmen's anxiety attacks begin to emerge once more, she finds herself seeking comfort in her brother's best friend. Sebastian was a wannabe surfer with more family issues than he would admit. With a million-dollar smile and arrogant streak, he didn't let anything phase him. Summer is the time for new beginnings, new opportunities, and new adventures. Nevertheless, there is nothing worse for hormones and better for the heart than the right boy at the right time.Complete

"You're just too much fun to mess with," he jokes, his smile transforming into a glowing smirk. My cheeks heat, but this time with anger. My tolerance has worn completely thin. "Would you let me go?" I ask spitefully. I feel like a broken record. He pushes off of the desk and takes a step back. Before I even realize what I'm doing, I slap him square across the cheek. Shock is plastered on his face, and I'm sure it is on mine too. I stand there in awe of what I just did. It was so sudden I'm not even sure I decided to do it but rather my indignation controlling me. Steadily, Damon's face morphs from shocked to entertained. I immediately regret my action, but I'm not completely stupid; I race for the door like there's no tomorrow. "You'll regret that!" I hear Damon yell as I'm running away. ~Sugar, spice, and everything nice~ A story about drama, sarcasm, love, and twists, with a little bad boy guilty pleasure mixed in between.Complete
His Bad Boy Ego | ✓
Highest rank #27 in Teen Fiction. Written by @apricitys. _ _ _ "What is this?" He asked, not even bothering to look at the canvas in front of me. Instead, his eyes were locked in mine. I swallowed my saliva, chills running down my spine. I felt my palms getting sweaty as my legs nervously started bouncing up and down. Without giving me time to answer, he took a step closer to me, eyes still locked in mine. Each time he inched closer, I used my right foot to slowly push myself and the stool back. It seemed to be the only option to get away from him; until he forced his hands below the sides of my thighs, holding the stool in place. He released a soft chuckle as he eyed me from my eyes, down to my lips. "You're beautiful," he said. From his voice, I couldn't tell if he was being serious, or messing around. It sounded sincere, however there was a smirk on his face. The smirk that he always has on his face when he's found an amusing target. Then he averted his attentions back to my eyes. His expressions softened up the moment his eyes landed back on mine. His smirk disappeared. I cleared my throat and broke the eye contact. I looked down at my palms as I rubbed the sweat against my jeans, "What do you want, Landon?" I asked, almost whispering. I felt his hand brushing against my right cheek, as he tilts my chin up to look back at him. His messy brown hair, his light blue eyes and his pink soft lips were just centimeters from mine. I felt his breath lingering on the upper tip of my lip. In a panic, I pressed my palms against his chest and push him off. He stumbled back with a surprised look on his face.
