"Thanks..." I mumbled.

"For what?" Lucas asked, staring at me; with his eyebrows furrowed.

"For being a good person. There are not a lot of people out there like that." I told him, referring to mostly everyone at school.

"Of course there are, Macey. You're just not looking in the right place." 
----

Macey Owens isn't exactly popular. Scratch that, she isn't popular at all. In fact, she has absolutely no friends. Being the school's outcast doesn't exactly earn you a spot at the popular table with the elite Lexi Abrams and her crew. Just the opposite, in fact. So when Macey bumps into sweet and quirky Lucas Matthews, after one of Lexi's tauntings, she expects him to walk away like everyone else.

But what happens when he doesn't? 

What happens when he wants to save her from Lexi? 

And more importantly: save her from herself?

My Best Friend Becomes My Lover by My_Flower101

Stella Grayson and Lucas Patterson have been best friends for two years. They hug and call each other cute names. They hold hands and kiss each other. They fight and make up in one day. They spend most of their free time together. So basically they aren't your average best friends. So what happens when Stella finds herself falling for Lucas and wants more than friendship but doesn't want to ruin it? What happens when Stella's attitude towards Lucas change? Would Lucas see behind her built up walls or would their friendship never be the same? "So you're in love with your best friend" My face dropped. My heart was hammering against my chest and this was the last thing I thought I'd hear from someone. "No I'm not" I blinked warily, denying it. "Oh come on Stella! It's really obvious" He was mad at me and I really felt like crying. He was the one before the last person I wanted to find this out. And the last person was Lucas.
