advice column high imperfection newspaper overcome perfection prejudice pride school wattys2014 writing

At an early age, Olivia Saunders has been forced into being absolutely NOTHING but perfect. Perfect appearance, perfect behavior, perfect outfit, perfect everything. So there's absolutely no doubt to her that for her freshman year of high school, she's going to be queen of the school newspaper.

That's how she's always been.

But Mr. Masters, the smooth, snobby head of Harper Weekly, has other plans for her.

She's put into a partnership with a boy she despises: Tom Thatcher, a boy a part of Thomas C. Harper High School's popular pack. Although he's a bit different from the others. He does his own thing, on his own time. He's very laid back, and doesn't really care too much about being perfect. This is what infuriates Olivia the most.

But what happens when Tom shows her that there's no need to be perfect? That the best form of beauty is when there are human flaws?

And what happens when Olivia finally tries to get out of her mother's iron clutches?

Will Olivia become the person she wants, instead of what her mother has forced her to be?

Or is she too scared to break the mold?All Rights Reserved

A Dark Romance | 18+ Seraphina Blake was born to smile, nod, and obey. A prodigy at the piano and a masterpiece of quiet elegance, she was raised to be seen-not heard. But when her father signs away her future for power and prestige, Seraphina is thrown into a world of sharp suits, colder stares, and a last name that drips with legacy and lies. Damien Thorne is everything she isn't. Billionaire CEO. Heartless. Untouchable. The type of man who doesn't flinch when the world burns-because he's usually the one who lit the match. He never asked for a wife. Especially not one like her. But in a world where love is currency and marriage is war, Seraphina must learn how to survive the empire she was forced into... Even if it means melting the ice around Damien's heart-or letting it consume her. ---------------- The shock stole my voice. I could feel the smooth surface at my back and the heat of his body so close it made my skin burn. My wrists were pinned, and I was trapped. Still, I whispered, "Why are you doing this...?" His voice was low, rough, dangerous. "You play beautifully," he said, his breath ghosting against my skin. "So graceful. So poised. So perfect." For a moment, I almost believed it was a compliment. But then he leaned closer. "But I see past that sweet little act," he whispered. "All the pretty smiles and perfect posture-it's a facade. You're just another spoiled princess playing pretend. But don't bother. You won't fool me." ----------------

Idiot's Guide To Falling In Love [Completed]✔ by WinterWriter11

Shawn looked at me with a puzzled face. "What are you writing?" I looked up from my new journal and smiled. "I'm writing everything that has happened lately, so that I don't forget. If I don't write this quickly, I'll forget it. And besides, this way I will know what not to do the next time I meet a handsome boy." He smiled. "So, basically it's an idiot's guide to falling in love?" I laughed. "Yes, exactly." We both stayed silent for a few seconds, just looking into each other's eyes. "Wait, did you just call me an idiot?" He looked at me, trying to contain his laughter, but he couldn't. * There's a thin line between love and hate. Very few are brave enough to cross it. After all, not everyone knows how to forgive. Emma Reynolds always thought she'd never forgive Shawn Becker and his friends after what they did to her in middle school. But what if for once in her life she stands up for herself and crosses the line? * Cover by: @Tweeter109

A Stranger To Him by JosephineFlorence

This book needs editing, the first chapters aren't very good, but the story gets better as you read on! There was only one thing that Amelia White needed to do. Be invisible and never draw the attention of five boys. She has been avoiding them ever since she knew who they were, and she's not planning to be part of the game those boys play. At least, that was the plan until her feet changed it for her. Bumping into Caine Williams is not exactly the way you stay unnoticeable for those boys. She detests an emotionless, narcissistic, and selfish asshole. He's the most attractive boy she's ever seen, but he has a terrible personality. Everything just seems like a joke to him. Hopefully, this journey of heated conversations and stupid fights turns out to be positive, and there's no need for any more hearts to shatter. Nevertheless, bad boys are unpredictable and dangerous, and there will be no insurance for broken hearts and unfixable relationships. But there's no need for insurance if the hate Amelia feels towards him is stronger than the tiny piece of possible love she feels in her heart, right? Caine will definitely regret opening the chase on her when he finds out it's not worth it. At least, that was what Amelia thought. Bumping into Caine Williams was certainly not the plan. That's the only thing that's for sure. Amelia knows that she can say goodbye to the plan of staying invisible, thanks to her clumsiness, and she'll have to say hello to his world with trouble and problems. You didn't think he would let her be, now would you? ©JosephineFlorence, All rights reserved
