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 Ps: I have now unpublished most of the chapters.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

Yvette's Tales by ChocoWritesthe2nd

17 year old Yvette Paige decided she knew what love was when a blue eyed handsome stranger had saved her from drowning 3 years back, when she was just 14. To her she had found her prince charming and nobody could top that. That was until she met him... Unpredictable, annoying, stubborn but irresistibly charming. Harvey Kingston was nothing like Yvette's 'Prince Charming'.

Revelations bring them closer... Family secrets draws them apart... A simple favour that united two people... Losing a lot but gaining much more... Even with her life being a rollercoaster of events, Yvette found herself and Love still found its way back to her.

The Way I Loved You ✓ by njhpiper

She'd die for love. He didn't believe in love. *** From reading The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood, to watching 10 Things I Hate About You, to listening to You are in Love by Taylor Swift, Emily Kingsley's life is a sum of moments she has spent after romance. Watching, reading, listening or daydreaming, romance has never failed to comfort this high school junior of 17 years of age. She has her own issues: self-sabotage, lack of focus in studying, randomly popping up acne and not loving the way she looked. But she could forget all that as long as she is reading about two people falling in love and finding their happily ever after. Emily wants a romance for herself too, and she knows just the person for it. Landon McArther, a senior in her school. According to Emily, Landon is handsome, sophisticated, well-spoken and unlike any of the immature boys of her class who didn't get her at all. Landon was everything Emily has always dreamed about and moreover he appreciates her for the person she is. But there's just a teeny-tiny problem. Landon McArther has a girlfriend. While that wasn't in Emily's bingo card, she hopes, prays, and longs for the day Landon will be single (because he is Emily's soulmate, and he has to be) and awaits her chance for romance. At the same time, her seatmate in chemistry, the rumored delinquent, grumpy asshole Nathan Callahan, makes fun of her romantic dreams. Can Emily ever find true love? Completed. A fun romcom that will make you scream and squeal and blush!

The Thing About Flip Flops by yellowbility

Audrey Parker has been metaphorically tossed into a cabinet for her whole life. Everyone's left her; her mom died when she was young, her sister Genevieve has recently moved out for college, and worst of all, at the end of her senior year she herself will graduate high school and move away from everything and everyone she knows. Sure, she has her father, her twin brother, her boyfriend Chris, and her chaotic group of friends, but she knows their time together is running out. But not everything is about leaving. Some things are about coming back. When the unbelievably annoying, terribly charismatic, musically-inclined, and undeniably hot Jack Golden comes back to town after years of being MIA, Audrey finds her life completely thrown upside down by his crazy adventures and dashing smirks. And maybe he's the glue she's been searching for to hold her life together.

First love, kisses and love letters by ily_ari_grande

Excerpt-- Take a breath, Lana. Everything will be okay. My stomach churned when I noticed his perfectly combed chestnut hair walking through the corridor by himself, just like any other day.

He asked, staring deeply into my eyes, practically making me melt. "I'm Lana Hart, we're in the same grade," acting like a robot reciting the speech I had a plan in my head. "Could you please accept this letter?" I bowed my head down like an idiot, may I add waiting for him to take the letter. Soft panic aroused in my chest.

The One Without Words by destacia

"Go ahead," I said, backing up against the pink wall of the shop. "Do something other than glare at me." I waited. One, two, three seconds... and nothing. I raised my chin at him. "You're boring me, mute boy." He stepped closer. Leaned toward me as his gaze burned into mine. Then... ❀ ❀ ❀ After three months in juvenile detention, it's time for Romy Pereira to help out with her family's flower shop. And it's not all bad... until they hire Jack Michel to work beside her. He doesn't speak, communicating with glares and scowls instead of words, and seems to be more interested in literal rocks than other human beings. And with an ex-convict mother, her friends drifting away, and the flower shop falling apart, the last thing Romy wants to deal with is Jack's attitude. She'll forever praise the day he screws up big time and gets himself fired, but until that day comes, it's mostly one cold-hearted girl, her silent (but still infuriating) coworker, and a whole lot flowers.
