Caution: There is/will even be throughout this story, some profanity.


Moving to L.A. from the Hamptons after the death of her mother, Lyric Jones otherwise known as Ricky, is a whole new person. Instead of open and outgoing, she's distant and closed of.

She used to do all sorts of things to make her parents proud. Things like singing in the school choir, being on the schools champion soccer team, becoming a mathlete, and she even used to paint a bit just like mom. But ever since she found out that the most important person in her life only had a limited time left to be with her, her whole life went from positive to negative within a few seconds.

Now she just sticks to her books, her sleek iPhone that has all her music and pictures, and keeping up the new image of being an unapproachable bad ass.

Her father, deciding that they need a change in scenery, packed everything up and shipped them out for a move across country.

She doesn't understand the logic behind the move considering she was already through half of her senior year in high school and doesn't feel like starting over.

So her simple steps to surviving people are:
1. Get a job so she can make money and move away.
2. Finish her last year in high school without complications.
3. Don't get involved with anyone. Especially if it's a guy.
Because let's face it, they're drama. And seriously though, what guy in their right mind would approach her, so number 3 should be an easy one to follow....

Plus, we all know her ending will never be a happy one.


*Authors Note: Hi, this is my very first story I'm trying to put out and I would really like any and all feed back. This book has mild language and a few kissing scenes...please just give my little story a chance. Thank you!*

Cal Jackson's new life as a rockstar fails to account for one thing: the existence of the girl he loves. ***** "What are you thinking about?" she asks. "A song," I say. "A new song." I stare at the ocean as I sing the song that I wrote, something that comes from the darkest place of my heart. "Do you even know how gifted you are?" she whispers. "You're destined to be someone big, Cal." "Really?" "Yeah." ***** She's perfect in every way. Beautiful. Smart. Her bright future is right there in front of her eyes. While here I am. Ruined. No college, let alone a future. Just an image of a wannabe rockstar with tattoed arms and an old guitar. I knew that our story would be no less than that tragic Romeo and Juliet shit the moment I laid my eyes on her, but still, I can't resist her. The moment she whispers my name, "Cal," I lose all sanity. She becomes my melody, my lyrics, the song that keeps echoing in my ears. People call her Mia. I call her my Amy, her name crafted above my beating heart, tattoed on my skin. Amelia Davis is my girl. Mine. And only mine. ***** THE JACKSONS BOOK #1 © 2021 Anya Jayvyn. All Rights Reserved.

My First Love by MansiGupta277

Meet Alizah, the ultimate parent-pleaser extraordinaire! She's like the CEO of "Operation Make-Parents-Happy," always two steps ahead of what her parents need. If love was measured in mango pickles, Alizah would have made enough to last the whole neighborhood for years-because nothing makes her happier than knowing her parents are proud (and well-fed). She's not just obedient; she's the gold-standard role model for "I'll do anything for my parents," with a side of humor and a smile that says,"Challenge accepted!" Life was all smooth until one day-BAM! Her parents dropped the biggest bombshell: "We found the perfect boy for you!" Before she could say, 'Not Ready' she was already knee-deep in wedding prep, forced into a marriage she never signed up for. The boy? A soft-spoken, polite guy named Vivaan, who looks like the human version of a greeting card-nice, but completely unnecessary (in her opinion). Now, Alizah isn't one to rebel; she's the kind of girl who'd say "thank you" after getting scolded. But being obedient has *limits*-and they were crossed somewhere between picking bridal lehengas and smiling for selfies at pre-wedding shoots. In her mind, she plotted "Mission Sabotage" Unfortunately, nothing worked, because Alizah parents could win *Gold* in emotional blackmail. "Beta, we just want to see you happy," they'd say with teary eyes, making her surrender faster than a cricketer caught in an LBW. And so, Alizah steps into her new life, half in disbelief, half in acceptance-like a girl boarding the wrong train but thinking, "Well, at least the view outside might be nice in this fake world" "Some journeys begin without a destination."Whether this one leads to chaos or contentment, only time will tell. Prepare for laugh-out-loud moments, heart-tugging twists, and the sweetest mess of feelings!

I look at all the men in the group who had their jaws dropped, all except for one, "Touch me one more time, and I'll brake your arm in two." I stand and kick his back so he falls on the concert.
