"You and me, Ty, we're just cutting corners."

In September 2015, Tallulah "Tally" Banks is popular for all the wrong reasons: she cuts class to skate, breaks curfew and never backs down from a fight. That is, until one day she pushes it too far and feels the consequences. 

What she didn't expect as she entered her senior year was her life to be intertwined with the new transfer, Zachary West, and all the goddamn trouble he brought with him. 

Friends and enemies are changing and what Tally thought would be a typical senior year is set to be entirely different, for better or for worse. 

And all it took was a skateboard...

"What are you doing here?" I ask but it comes out as a sob. I don't want him, or anyone for that matter, to see me like this. I'm a wreck. Wyatt doesn't seem to mind though. He softly brushes the remaining tears from my face with his thumb. "I saw you run out of the canteen, green eyes. I couldn't just leave you here to cry because that would go against the tutor code." "Tutor code?" I ask, puzzled. "Yes, the tutor code. It states that a student must make sure his tutor is never upset or crying and if he does ever find her like this it's his job to make her smile at any cost," he tells me. "You just made that up." "Maybe I did but that doesn't matter. Come on," he says, extending his hand out to me. "Where are we going?" "You'll see." ~*~*~ Aurora is a normal seventeen year old, happy and content with life. However, this all changes the day her boyfriend of two years, James, breaks up with her. Naturally, she's crushed. The icing on the cake is why he did it. Apparently she's 'too boring'. Determined to prove him wrong, she strikes a deal with the school's notorious bad boy, Wyatt King. She'll tutor him in maths if he teaches her to be reckless, fearless and careless. Can Aurora overcome the odds and do what she planned? Or perhaps someone will stop her on her mission to win over James. Maybe this isn't as easy as she thought it would be. Maybe she takes things a little too far. And just maybe making a deal with the bad boy isn't such a smart idea. ~*~*~ *contains mature language* #9 in high school 20/02/19 #1 in young love 14/03/19 #2 in chicklit 27/03/19 #1 in heartbreak 08/04/19 #21 in teenfiction 26/08/20 #10 in romance 26/08/20 #1 in bad boy 02/04/21

"You should care, Dylan. You would still be living in the back of a car, stealing from Seven Eleven! Is that what you want?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The "Four Musketeers." That's what they called them. If they weren't all together they were two on two. And they give zero fucks about life. The Adopted one The Bad boy The Player The Best friend Dylan is like most troubled girls. She doesn't care about her grades, she skips school, hangs with the wrong crowds, and hates her parents. But of course there's a reason for all of this. Dylan is adopted. Dylan has always struggled with being adopted and she tends to fight everything in life. Many bad memories cause her to be the way she is. She desperately wants to forget her past, including some bad things she experienced, but the memories stay stuck in her mind. Dylan has three best friends who help her get by. The only three people she 100% trust and doesn't like to. They all have their own problems and lies they tell, but they help each other through it all. Especially her boyfriend Vince, who would do absolutely anything for her. He would die a thousand times over before anyone hurt Dylan. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Dylan's not just my whole life, she makes my life whole. Some days she's the only reason I get out of bed. Without her in my life there is no point in living. She's like the air I breathe. Without her I can't live. She's my best friend and I will love her to the day I die." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This summer Dylan gets the opportunity to do what every guidance counselor has claimed she's always wanted to do . . . split up her family. Will she realize splitting up her family won't help anything? Or will she just not care? After all she was abandoned once.

"that you were romeo, you were throwing pebbles, and my daddy said stay away from juliet, and i was crying on the staircase begging you please don't go" - Taylor Swift _____________ Juliet Conway is the girl everyone whispers about - the one with the eyeliner a little too dark. The one with her walkman always clipped to her jeans. The one with the scar on her knee from a skateboarding wipeout she never talks about. The one dating the bad boy in the senior class. She plays defense for the Ducks like she's got something to prove and figure skates alone at night like she's got something to forget. Most people see her leather jacket and cold glare and assume she's trouble. They're not entirely wrong. She cuts class when she's overwhelmed, mouths off to teachers when they push too hard, and never lets anyone - not even her brother Charlie - see her cry. But she is the first in her class. She listens to The Cranberries on full blast and writes like her pen is the only thing keeping her sane. Underneath it all, though, is a girl who feels too much, loves fiercely, and still waits for a dad who walked out too long ago. To most, she's the rebel with sharp comebacks and bruised knuckles. But to Adam Banks, she's poetry on skates - guarded, brilliant, and worth every second it takes to earn her heart. "romeo take me somewhere we can be alone. i'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run. you'll be the prince and i'll be the princess it's a love story, baby, just say yes" - Taylor Swift Started: 7/1/25 Finished: 7/11/25 Notes: -yes i know ive written about adam banks before but i just love him and the ducks so i decided to write about him again -the story will take place after D3 so the characters are now sophmores instead of freshman -it will still be based in the 90s but some songs in the playlist will have a few modern songs -all rights and characters belong to the mighty ducks writers i only own my oc's

To crave safety was one thing. To sleep with a monster to get it? That was something else entirely. ____________________ The bar. Her best friend. The need to forget her ex. That's all Maebelle Taylor was signing up for one Thursday night in college. The icing on the cake was the tall and handsome one-night-stand she managed to fall into bed with, and she was able to achieve what she set out to do: Forget. However, things don't go as planned when said one-night-stand saunters back into her life. Not only is he as handsome as he was during their night of fun, but he seems to be a completely different person than Maebelle remembers. He's dangerous, brooding, vicious, and far from the man she thought she had first met. And he wants absolutely nothing more to do with her. What seems like fate is what tosses them together. What seems like karma is what can't keep them apart. Mr. tall and handsome lives a life far from the safe haven Mae so desperately craves to have, but after stumbling upon something she shouldn't have seen? Mr. tall and handsome isn't so keen to let her go. ____________________ t r o p e s: Grumpy x sunshine Mature themes Criminal/Gang-related content ____________________ D I S C L A I M E R: this story has been re-edited and republished. the events of this story , for those who have read it prior to February 2023 , have been slightly altered to make way for my improved and matured writing style (as well as to fix plot inconsistencies). originally published : june 2017 newly published : february 2023 ____________________ Copyright © All Rights Reserved
