The phrase opposites attract applies a little too well in this situation.
Carmen and Willow are as different as night and day. The only thing they have in common is that they both are starting their junior year of high school.
Carmen is a wild card. After having her mother die from cancer when she was young, Carmen was never quite the same again. She vowed to never remain constant, continually craving excitement in the crappy life she was dealt. She's become lose with her morals and refuses to listen to what her father has to tell her. She suffers from depression. And it doesn't help that she attempts at "self-medicating" and tries to find ways to hurt herself.
Willow is the classic good girl on the other hand. She does everything she is told, terrified what straying from the path set in front of her will bring. She has OCD and is a perfectionist, causing any little disruption in her perfect life to leave her in a panic. And it doesn't help that Willow has two of the most strict parents ever.
Willow and Carmen don't get along. Carmen thinks that Willow is a stuck up nerd, while Willow finds Carmen is a drunk freak. And things don't get any easier when to their two different worlds come crashing together when the school's principal forces them together in the new tutoring program. And Carmen just has to get things off to a bad start by stumbling into Willow's open bedroom window after a party gone wrong. Now they two are clashing heads and the results are chaos.

It Started With Hello
***** Emma Pear knew she wasn't the most popular girl in high school. Her nose was usually buried in a textbook, and her grades were as spotless as her reputation for always following the rules. "Nerd" was a label she'd long since embraced. Her parents, determined to keep her on the straight and narrow, packed her schedule with violin lessons, shifts at the local animal shelter, and tutoring sessions for elementary school kids. Emma barely had time to breathe, let alone experience "normal" teenage rites of passage like parties, late-night hangouts, or even just goofing off with friends. So when the captain of the football team-the captain-unexpectedly asked her to the school dance, Emma saw a glimmer of a different life. She practically begged her parents, and to her shock, they actually said yes. She had no idea that one night, under the glittering lights of the gym, would rewrite her entire story. Blake Black was the kind of high school loner who radiated an almost magnetic quiet. Girls whispered about him in the halls, drawn to his mysterious aura and the fact that he rarely spoke to anyone. Most of his time was spent wrangling his hyper little brother, Alex. Their parents, a brain surgeon and a heart doctor, were perpetually busy, leaving little time for their growing boys. His parents made it clear attending the school dance wasn't optional. They just wanted him to "act like a normal high schooler" for a few hours. Blake's plan was simple: show his face, then ditch the minute he decently could. He brushed off a parade of hopeful girls, already counting down the minutes until he could escape. But then he saw what happened to Emma. And unlike everyone else, he couldn't just stand by and watch.Complete
Chemistry in History
"Make me," I said challengingly. He looked at me daringly, and then suddenly smashed his lips against mine, he sucked on my bottom lip making me let out another moan, I kissed him back, but then he abruptly broke the kiss too soon, leaving me feeling dizzy. "Now go home, or else you won't be able to walk tomorrow." He whispered in my ear. ***** Have you ever been secretly in love with your friend's crush? Well, Bella has. Suddenly having to move from the city to the suburbs is not something Bella could have even imagined. Her mom got married again after years of getting over Bella's dad and now BAM!

She now has to live with two immature guys and a toddler, as well as a step-dad, acting as if life wasn't better when her mom and she were cramped in a little apartment baking cookies. Handling her now big family and joining in the middle of the year couldn't have been worse. Oh, wait, there's a reason people warn you to never say "how could it get any worse?" It all starts in history class when Bella's assigned to sit next to the hottest guy in school (a.k.a. the guy her friend likes). How can she keep herself away from that hot body and personality?! Oh and if this wasn't bad enough, poor Bella meets a sassy brat who comes back from the Bahamas, she's pretty, hot, and is head over heels for Bella's history partner. What happens when the brat starts dating him? Jealousy is an understatement of how Bella feels. So what do you think happens when Bella loses control and doesn't care that he's taken or that he's her friend's crush!?!? ...Well, you'll just have to find out :) All I can say is things get hot and we end up getting chemistry in history.

Bad Influence
SYNOPSIS: The difference between Derek and I is like trying to count a tall building with over a hundred floors. While he's the type that gets tattoos, parties, sleeps around and smokes chunks with his friends, I'm the kind of girl that secure good grades at school just to make mummy proud.

I want to be everything he wants me to be, I want to be everything he likes in a woman even if it means skipping classes, partying and making mummy sad. I knew coming back to Austin TX after four years and getting to see those magnetic gray orbs that kept pulling me closer, those devilish lips, the smirk that whispers; 'Do what would make your mom disappointed' would be a bad idea.

While I on the other hand am heaving for my breath. "Why are you so hell bent on finding out who kissed you at Trevor's stupid party?!" No response. "It was just a kiss!" I try again. He stops up abruptly, turning around in a swift motion glowering down at me. I gulp. "Just a kiss?!" he whispers, I nod my head hesitantly. "JUST A KISS?!" I shrink back. He inches closer, his heavenly built towering over me. Forehead to forehead, nose to nose...disappointingly not mouth to mouth... I lick my lips slowly. He looks down, gulping before slightly moving away. "Just a kiss." I confirm. His blazing eyes find mine again. "No, it was not just a kiss! Maybe for her, but not for me!" "Why not?!" I press on. "BECAUSE SHE STOLE MY FIRST KISS!!" I gasp loudly, staggering back. His fingers graze his lips slowly before he snaps out of it, turns around and storms away. This time I don't bother following him, I am in shock. I Accidentally Stole The Bad Boy's First Kiss... ••• Completed | ✓ Unedited (Read at your own risk)Complete
Just Two Weeks
"A guy isn't going to care if you're laughing with a dude," he said. "You laugh with friends. You do this with someone who is more than friends." Wolf placed his hands on my waist, pulling me in flush with his body. He dipped his head to my ear and whispered, "See? No one that looked at us right now would think we're friends." ------------------------------- When Savannah's long term boyfriend, Tripp, breaks up with her out of the blue before their annual summer lake vacation, she's devastated. Enter Wolf. He's the son of her parents' best friends, who happen to share a connecting lake condo. Savannah hasn't seen Wolf in two years since he stopped coming on family vacations. He's notorious for trouble, the exact opposite of Savannah. Wolf shows up one day and suggests that they pretend to be in a relationship during their two week vacation. He's convinced that his mom's adoration of "good girl" Savannah will change her mind about his recent house arrest. In exchange, Wolf suggests Savannah can use their fake relationship to lure Tripp back by making him jealous. Savannah is hesitant, but is just desperate enough for Tripp's attention that she agrees. Spending time with Wolf on their pretend dates becomes a problem when Savannah begins to have feelings for him. After all, Wolf is off limits. Her best friend has a major crush on him, and Savannah is supposed to be with someone sensible like Tripp, not the lead singer of the high school rock band, Wolf and the Midnight Shepherds. In the end, Savannah will need to decide if falling for Wolf is worth the consequences.Complete![☆~Jenna and Heather~♡ [VOL.1]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/305832500-256-k414623.jpg)
