"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...

Love Story {Adam Banks TMD}
"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'sComplete

Reckless Fearless Careless | ✓
"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 02/04/21Complete

The Badass Nerd
"What the hell did you do!?" I heard a feminine voice behind me. I groaned and turned around to meet a very angry face. I have never seen a girl this pissed before and honestly speaking, I am a little bit afraid. "She knew what she was getting into. Everyone knows I am player and I never stick to one girl." I shrugged and turned around to walk away. I didn't even take one step when I felt a firm hand on my t-shirt. She took a fist full of my shirt and turned me around so I was facing her. She then held my collar. Damn, she is almost the same height as me and if I would have been any normal guy, I would be terrified of her. "You don't treat girls like trash, asshole. She has feelings, she is not some toy that you got bored from after playing for a while. Apologize to her." She said through gritted teeth pointing towards Leah who was crying her eyes out. I noticed the crowd that started forming around us. I shrugged her hand away from my t-shirt and glared at her. "I will not apologize to anyone." I said slowly through gritted teeth. She is starting to piss me off. No one clashes me and no one stands against me. Even though I am new here, everyone knows that. I saw her eyes go blank and before I could duck, her fist made contact with my face and I felt sharp pain coursing through my nose. I held my nose tight and felt warm liquid flowing to my lips. Olivia Claire is a 16 year old high scholar. She is a fighter who never took anyone's shit and is famous for it. She mostly minds her own business occasionally helping people that might need her. Carter Grayson is a 16 year old guy recently transferred to Olivia's high school. Tall, handsome guy with lean figure, hazel eyes, brown hair and smile to die for. He has been known to be a player in his last high school and he plans on continuing that identity. So, what happens when a typical bad boy clashes with a not-so-nerd bad girl.Complete
