"What do you do in your spare time?" 
"Um... put soil fertilizer in flower pots." 

Nina Gregory is weary of being constantly cast in her mother's shadow. At sixteen, Nina looks nothing like her mother, former Miss Teen USA  contestant from the 1998 Beauty Pageant, who now owns her own flower shop, where Nina works part time. To make things worse,  she's in love with her best friend Harrison, who doesn't even see her in that light at all; not when her hair is always up in a ratty ponytail all while wearing a dirt caked apron. When she finally decides that enough is enough, Nina realizes that the only way to find her spotlight is to beat her mother at her own game: in a beauty pageant contest.

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 Ps: I have now unpublished most of the chapters.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.

Training Wheels: Boyfriend Edition by LotteStarburst

Sick of third wheeling her best friends who have somehow all gotten into a relationship over the span of the last three months, Michelle Holmes finds herself commiserating with schoolmate Caledon Brightwell over their similar plights in life at work one day. His friends, much like hers, have taken to turning group outings into triple dates--where she's always the odd one out. In the middle of their complaining session, they hit on the perfect solution to their problems: they can just date each other. After all, deciding to get together was exactly how their friends started their relationships. Not that she has any idea how dating is supposed to work, but at least she finally has a boyfriend. Too bad her friends aren't impressed, but it's not her fault that they can't appreciate her genius. The easiest way not to third wheel on a group date is to have a date of your own, right? ------------------ Updates on Fridays. (third person, slowburn) You can read up to three (3) advance chapters on my Patreon (link in my bio!), and the free/released chapters are also available for viewing on Patreon like on Wattpad. :) ------------------ + "What do you mean 'it's not as simple as just declaring that we're together'?!"

His Sunshine | ✓ by pink_flamingo_09

She looks up at me, taking a step forward and smiling slightly, "How can I ever get hurt when I have you here to protect me?" "But you could have gotten hurt," I murmur softly, hanging my head and feeling my shoulders drop, the tension seeping from my body. "No. Stop," She cuts me off sternly but tenderly, "Don't talk like that, Reece. I'm okay, you're okay, we're okay," She speaks softly, reaching her hand up to gently brush her thumb over my cheek, just under the cut that's there. "We're okay," I repeat, taking a small step closer to her. She nods with a small smile, moving her hand down from my cheek and instead placing the palm of her hand on my chest, right over my heart. I know she can feel how fast my heart is beating. I just don't know why it's doing that. ~ Reece Carter is the bad boy of Northwood High. He smokes and he fights. He has countless tattoos covering his body. And he doesn't care about anything or anyone else.

My First by tiggerwinnie

16 year old Danae's life is slowly going downhill with trying to get a job and get into college. His mum doesn't make it any easier though. She's hot headed and is always annoyed at Danae because he looks just like his dad, who his mum has just divorced. His best friend Eden is having problems with her boyfriend and Danae slowly develops feelings for her. They hang out and play video games once a week, which is the highlight of his weeks. He doesn't want to jeopardise his friendship by telling Eden he has romantic feelings for her, until he gives in shortly after their shared kiss. Btw I imagine Danae similar to Cole from the Netflix Series: My Life With The Walter Boys. And I imagine Eden to look like a brunette version of Sarah from Outer Banks. Both great shows I recommend.

The Art of Being Lost by vv6424

His breath was warm against my skin, and for a moment, everything else faded, just his presence, his closeness, the tension thick in the air.
