The Baddest Boy in Town (COMPLETED!!) by awkwardpenguin3

*WARNING* This book is cheesy and sarcastic with an extra sprinkle of cliché. If you don't like that kind of stuff then all you have to do is hit that back button! Zoe Starr blends into the background. She has no desire to be popular, to be seen, to be in any sort of drama. She's pretty unnoticed. Pretty normal. With one best friend, she survives just fine. Zack fuller on the other hand? Everyone knows him. He looks like the typical trouble maker. Leather jacket, motorcycle, a smirk constantly dancing on his lips. He doesnt care much for rules but doesnt go looking for fights. He has his 4 best friends to keep him company, keep him entertained. What happens when Zoe Starr meets bad boy, Zack Fuller and gets thrown into a world of rowdy boys, life changing events and mixed feelings? When her not so bright past comes back and tries to split them apart? Will these two broken angels get a chance to finally work everything out and be okay again? I suck at descriptions (obviously) but maybe just give it a try? If you don't like it you can just.. you know...stop reading?

Boo, Inc. by MBlack9898

Welcome to Boo, Inc....Have you ever created a prosthetic head so convincing that you could chop it off in an Insta Live Stream, gaining a thousand followers overnight and a call to the cops? Have you ever dressed up as monsters to scare the living daylights out of a cheating boyfriend, all for a hundred dollars and a flood of social media hits? Have you ever stabbed someone to death for fun and dumped their body in the LA river? It all started with two kids named Boo. Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Boo-Z, short for Boo Alice Zook, but you can call me Boozy. High school in Cali was a wild ride, going from being a hotshot macro-influencer dancing in the streets to living in a wheelchair after a brutal hit and run. But my sexy-psycho-quasi-boyfriend, Boo Alexander, isn't ready to let me leave the industry just yet. Something's not quite right in my head, but Boo always has a solution for me. A caffeine cleanse, a line of coke, shots of apple cider vinegar with herbal tea - anything to keep my mind focused. I've basically hit the Sadomasochistic Jackpot. If I take a spin around the block in my wheelchair and down a six-pack, my passion for killing will reignite. Especially now that we're getting paid for it.

Who ever said that high school days were a walk-in-the-park?

Hallucinations (rewriting post-physical publication) by Sophie11Lightfoot

The night of the accident changes everything for Nina, a 16-year-old girl from Minneapolis. All she remembers is hitting the freshly paved street, the name tag Ansley, and her mom running after the wailing ambulance. Waking up from a coma in a hospital bed and being told that she has Schizophrenia, pushes Nina into a state of denial and unacceptance. The only thing keeping her sane while being confined to the hospital is her blooming friendship with Kathy, who also has Schizophrenia. Together, they brave through therapy sessions, and the watchful eyes of the head doctor. When our protagonist and her sidekick are temporarily placed back into High School, Nina comes face to face with Conor. And as most teenage girls would, when confronted by a gorgeous boy, she develops feelings for him. When our duo is thrown back into the hospital, things start to get suspicious. From flower fields and holidays, to late night kisses and time ticking down, Nina is uneasy with the hospital workers, and maybe even the people she thinks she knows everything about. The hallucinations begin to take over Nina and Kathy's life and very nearly drive the two of them to a state of insanity. The workers at the hospital are not who they seem to be, in reality. Knowing who to trust is out of the question. Who is our antagonist? Who lives? Who dies? Is this all a fever dream, or something truly... demented? Will they be able to overcome the building pressure of the unwarned attacks and betrayals, or will the tick-tocking of the clock and clinically deranged staff run them down to their last unwitting days?
