highschool love romance school triangle vampire wattpadprize14

Gemma Stewart just transferred to a new school for her senior year. Having pushed ahead of her class, she'll be a year younger than her peers, but that doesn't bother her in the least. She's not looking to make friends anyway--this year is only about her future. As a competitive swimmer and Olympic hopeful, she's determined to make her dreams a reality, even if it means forsaking the usual high school experiences.

Nevertheless, Gemma finds herself drawn to a mysterious boy with glowing eyes. He's handsome, talented, and her heart races whenever he's near. 

Soon though, she realizes there's something off about him; one minute he's playful and alluring, the next, volatile and angry. Knowing that he'd only be a distraction to her swim training, she tries to stay away from him. Fate however, is not kind to those who resist her plans.

Before long, Gemma is treading dangerous waters which will test the limits of her determination and the strength of her courage as she struggles to make the hardest decision of her life.All Rights Reserved

Upon meeting her, both boys are interested in her but for different reasons. Nash, being on the more sensitive side, has the strong want to protect her from the much more aggressive, Cameron.

Chasing Charming ✔️ by bearjordan

Complete! "You know I really like you, right?" He was definitely drunk. "You do?" I asked. My voice was supposed to be teasing, but I think it came off as a bit startled. He laughed, "Yeah, why else would I trust you with all my secrets?" -- Betty was many things; a romantic, a fashion designer, a bit more jealous than the average girl, great with a camera, a helpful daughter and a good friend. But she was best known for being nice. And usually, the boy did not want the 'nice' girl. But this summer she was going to prove to Mike, her crush since FOREVER, that nice was enough. She was going to have an amazing summer, a perfect Junior year, and finally have her first kiss. It was a foolproof plan. Moving from her childhood home in Arizona to New Mexico at the start of Junior year was never a part of Betty's plan. But sometimes when parents are involved, plans change. So now the nice girl had to start over at a new school in a new State. And when the (maybe not so bad) bad boy, Eli, gets involved, it might be hard to be known as 'the nice girl'.
