"Lena Carter's life is basically chaos - burnt pancakes, missed buses, and a best friend who's way too good at getting on her nerves. High school should be simple. Spoiler: it's not.
Now she's stuck doing a project with Austin Ryder - the golden boy quarterback - while Jace, her best friend since forever, keeps looking at her like he knows something she doesn't.
Between late-night laughter, secrets she's too scared to say out loud, and the way her heart has started acting... strange, Lena's beginning to realise life doesn't come with instructions.
Because sometimes, the biggest smiles hide the deepest cracks."

You Are the Shell to My Tortoise | ✓
Nolan, an unapproachable guy who ignores the existence of all his schoolmates, sleeps in all of his classes. Normally, this wouldn't be Chelsea Arnold's problem-she does her best to pay attention in class and attends gym like a good, normal student. Unfortunately, she just so happens to be his assigned desk partner in many classes. She's frequently forced to wake him in English class and ends up earning the unofficial title of Nolan's Wake-up Alarm-a title that nobody in the entire school covets. The last thing she wants is to interact with him more than she absolutely has to. One day, their gym teacher sends her to bring him back to class, which he always skips for some reason. When she accidentally shines her flashlight in his sleeping face, it triggers a chain of events that gradually intertwines their lives together. It's hard to be a normal student when you start befriending the school oddball. It doesn't help that he has more secrets than the Big Ben has stairs. ----- Complete.

Ribbons, Rumors, and Her ✔
[@TheAmbys 2025 Favorites (Top Pick)] Bullied and bruised, Adam has survived high school by keeping his head down. Those bothered by his quiet, eccentric nature? They are the 'pretty' ones. The ones with comfortable backgrounds. The ones at the top. When an attractive transfer becomes his seat neighbour for the rest of the semester, Adam is naturally wary - partly because of her brawny sibling in senior year, and partly because she checks every box on his list of people to avoid: pretty, rich, and popular. With an angelic smile, twinkling sapphire eyes and ribbons in her golden hair, her persona screams perfection. A level he won't be able to achieve even in his quirkiest of daydreams - not like he'd ever want to. After all, despite her odd choice of friends, her playful teasing, and her persistent efforts to win his trust, isn't she just another heartless bully? ••• Featured on: @humor - DiverseLit Humor (Sept 2025) @Ambassadors - Slice Of Life (Sept 2025) @humor - Ambassadors' Monthly Pick (Oct 2025) @humor - Ambassadors' Pick List (May 2026)Completa
The Bucket List
What do you do when you find out that your best friend has cancer on Christmas Eve? That's what Grayson Rogers and Blaze Hughes begin to ask when they find out the reason for their best friend's moroseness on Christmas morning. It's slightly different for Grayson, though, who has had the biggest crush on her since they were kids. Now he's determined to be there for her more than ever, although she's unlikely to feel the same way for him (and has had a huge crush on his brother for as long as he can remember). ♤ What do you do when you discover that you have cancer on Christmas Eve? Amethyst Martin sincerely wishes someone would have answered that for her before she learns this bitter truth. Now, she has no idea how long she has left to live - and everyone wants her to act like she's okay. After what she promises herself to be her "final breakdown" (a huge lie, btw), she comes to terms with her new reality, takes a friend's advice and creates a bucket list. Falling in love with her best friend, however, was not on the list. Neither was getting heartbroken by her lifelong crush or kidnapped by a guy in her class, but hey, life happens. ♤ originally More Than Just Best Friends Grayson Tyler Rogers - originally George Tyler Rogers Blaze Edgar Hughes - originally Edgar Liam Cooke Gwyneth Jen Hughes - originally Lila Pat Cooke ♤ unpublished and republished so many times I've lost count... hopefully it's here to stay this time round.🤞🏾
