When Michael found himself back on the same campus where he first met Elyse, he had no intentions of falling for her again. It had been a year, and he knew that things would just end up the same way they had last year: with heartbreak and angst. When he saw her on the first day back, he already knew that he wanted to just be friends. He knew she had a boyfriend back home, and that things were supposed to be different this summer. But Michael was stubborn, and after Elyse's green eyes met his brown ones, he already knew he was about to become one of History's pawns, doomed to repeat it. Like the scent before a storm, their love was sweet, but destructive.

One Big Cliché

The One I Didn't See Coming
He wasn't "just" a crush... he was the one I didn't see coming. Keira never thought a random question about a fan setting would change her entire high school life. What started as a simple chat turned into late-night conversations, inside jokes, emoji codes, snacks left on her desk, and rides home she swore she didn't need. Kian wasn't just her classmate-he was sarcastic, unpredictable, and dangerously consistent. And before she knew it, Keira's carefully built walls of denial began to crack. Because sometimes love doesn't come the way you expect it. Sometimes, it sneaks in through a fan setting, an emoji, and a boy who refused to let her go.

Rejected At First Sight (Spinoff Series)
*Rejected at First Sight* Spin-off series (By GirlWhoChasesRainbow) 🌶 "Oomph!" The sound rushed out of my mouth as the door opened before I could reach the handle and my body hits a wall. I stumble backwards slightly before a hand wraps around my waist, keeping me from falling. Looking up, I realize this wasn't a wall, but instead a very attractive male. A very messy, but definitely sexy, mop of black hair sat on top of his head. When I looked closer, I realized that it was a deep shade of brown that was probably often mistaken for black. My gaze traveled to his eyes, where I found two deep ocean blue eyes looking at me. I kept going further down to his too crooked nose to be called straight, which I assumed came from too many fights. His skin was tanned, but an olive tone suggested he had a natural darker complexion to begin with. My eyes finally found his pink, very plump lips which were resting slightly open. His lips jerked up into a lopsided sneer as his hand snapped back to his side. The sudden movement left my back cold, as if his palm had been a source of warmth. "You've got to be kidding me!" His tone dripped with disgust. My eyes turned to questioning as I looked back up into his eyes. I brought my hand up to rub my nose, squinting at the slight pain. "What the hell." He grumbled. "I, Jay Julian, reject you as my mate." He, or Jay, said with venom lacing his voice. He quickly turned and walked down the now vacant hallway with no glance back. Rejection? What the hell was that? Was it some sort of local lingo? How did I get rejected on my first day? The first person I make eye contact with at this school rejects me. I guess that's how this school works, if the hottest boy in school rejects you, you're a nobody. If that's how this small town school worked, then I was screwed. So much for making friends, or mates, or whatever they call people in this place. I shake those ocean blue eyes out of my head and continue into the office to start my new life.Complete

Little did I know that this story would be the catalyst of my passion for writing. I loosely based this story on my husband's and my love story.
