The next thing I know, his lips are touching mine with a burning fire, his fingers tangled in my hair, our bodies inches apart... Donna Jade Morrison has never been a normal girl. Her parents are both models, therefore attracting unwanted attention for her. But when new boy Rhys Hart joins her school, her whole life flips over. He's mysterious and never lets anyone in. Her best friend Avril is convinced he's lonely and needs someone - presumably Donna - to break him out of it, but Donna knows he has deeply buried secrets and it's going to take a lot more than friendship to uncover them and bring him out of the dark...All Rights Reserved

Friendzone 🫶🏻 by guiltypleasure20

• Enemies • Friends • Lovers • What if two people destined to be together were too afraid to leave the friend zone?

Today I'm turning my fiction to reality. ❣️•••❣️ Excerpt: Just as I was about to seek shelter under some building's roof, the tires of a car come to a halt, I wonder who might pity the lonely girl walking in the rain. The passenger window rolls down, and I spot the most unexpected person seated behind the wheel. "Get in" comes out his voice, and I must've stood there agape for a few moments because next comes his rhetorical question. "Are you getting in or continuing walking in the rain?"

My Little Murder by ak_lloyd

Liv Winters had an unstable past; since she was fifteen, her home had been a hospital, where she slowly recovered from the things that haunted her nightmares and dreams. But that all changed the moment she was let out. Moving into a new house with her alcoholic mother and her supportive brother, Liv now has to face challenges like none she ever had to deal with in hospital: human interaction. Now, Ryelan Montgomery, or "Rye" was considered her new school's God student; everything he was expected to be and more. Smart, sexy, bad, fun, sexy - he was all of these things. Anyone he wanted, anyone at all, he already had. One glance, one touch, one lingering kiss; that's all it took. His mother and father travelled a lot, leaving him a lonely soul in his own house. But someone like him couldn't settle down; it just wasn't in his nature. Liv, though, catches his eye. Is it her long, wavy hair? Or her soft, pink lips? Or maybe it's those haunting eyes of hers, the kind that leave eternal scars? Whatever it its, he's hell-bent on finding out who she is and why she pushes everyone away from her. Out of care or boredom, not even he knew; all he was sure of was that he could get to anyone he wanted, anyone at all. Especially the least expected.
