"Can you promise me one thing before I leave?", my little sister looked at me with curious eyes. She was holding the 'Dora the Explorer' sling bag I gifted her on her 6th birthday.
"Sure, why not?", I said without realizing what was coming.
"Can you run for Prom Queen this year? Please, for me?"
I was speechless.
Allen Morgan, the school's nerd, is requested by her little sister to run for Prom Queen the following year. But her sister, just like her parents, is unaware of the fact that Allen doesn't have much of a social life. They think that she has plenty of friends plus gets good grades (the only part which is true), therefore, thinking of her as an ideal child. But, who knew the reality? Will Allen agree to her sister or will let her down? If she agrees, will she really be able to become the Prom Queen?
Follow Allen in an exciting and interesting journey of her life where she makes new friends, goes to parties and does lots of more interesting things, in 'Operation Prom Queen'.

IMPORTANT: I do not own the picture of the cover. I repeat, I DO NOT own the picture of the cover. I do not take credit of the picture. I found it on internet and simply wrote the story title on it
Dallas Donovan's parents divorced when he was six. His little sister, Tessa, went with their mom, while he stayed with his dad. It wasn't the usual messy, bitter split - quite the opposite. Both parents love their kids and co-parent peacefully. But no matter how much love remains, they can never be the family they once were. And that truth gnaws at Dallas more than he'll ever admit.
He hates math with a burning passion but surprisingly loves biology - not that anyone expects the basketball star to enjoy dissecting frogs and memorizing cell structures.
Then there's Kiera Davenport. The new girl. She's a walking contradiction - quiet but bold, cold but captivating. She's not a fan of any subject but somehow excels in all of them. On the field, she's Ravenwood High's star football player. Off the field, she posts dance challenges on Instagram, earning thousands of followers - and making boys practically drool. Not that she cares.
Their sweet, overly optimistic biology teacher decides to play matchmaker, pairing students to help them "bond." Dallas and Kiera end up stuck together - no surprise, considering the teacher's obvious (and painfully unsubtle) attempts to ship them.
The real question is: what does fate has in-store for them?
Some stories are written by choice. Others - the unforgettable ones - are written by fate.

"You're different," I muttered before I could stop myself.
She blinked. "What?"
I hesitated. "I mean... compared to school. You're-" I gestured vaguely at her oversized T-shirt, the ridiculous F.R.I.E.N.D.S. lyrics on it, her messy bun, the way she just-was. "Different."
Something flickered in her gaze, but she just shrugged.
"That's what happens when people only see what they want to see," she said simply, turning back to the stove.
I didn't have a response for that.
