Ambrosia Vours is in her last year of high-school. She's in the top ten students at Stonecrest High and her social life is pretty average. Things changed, months ago, when the school's resident bad boy stole her heart- and then crushed it. Brosia deals with the pain while trying to struggle through classes. If her grades slip, she can't get into a University in the city and leave her annoyingly small hometown behind, so she kicks it into gear... but when a new guy moves to town and catches her eye, the shit hits the proverbial fan.
A sweet love story that questions 'love at first sight'; set in modern times with hints of a Cinderella story-line. Shakespearean quotes from several plays and sonnets are intertwined within the story as well, but I can provide any translations (if needed, leave a comment and I'll get back to you ASAP).
Other quotes from a wide variety of literature may be mentioned and/or quoted too.

When they're both faced with deep, dire situations, they look to each other for help. [UNDER EXTREME EDITING]Complete

Safe Haven
"The only trouble that I would tolerate is the trouble that you bring" ** Most love stories start with a romantic-cliche start. A meeting in the library, a chance encounter at school or even a crosswalk in a busy road but this story would have a different start-- A half naked girl to be exact. Isabella is a shut in. She's basically a modern vampire, she's rich, sleeps in every morning, afraid of light and runs on one type of liquid--coffee. Isabella wanted to have her own space so she moved out of their million dollar home. Little did she know that her goal in achieving a quiet life would soon be ruined by her true self. Shawn is a nerd. That's basically what he is. Black haired guy with black eyes plus the black thick rimmed glasses. He likes to study, he doesn't have a wide social circle nor a number of contacts on his phone aside from his sister. He likes to watch cat videos and danger also happens to follow him quite closely. Two similar people with huge differences, can they even get along? Would Isabella finally let a dim light enter her room of darkness? Can Shawn accept fatal flaws and sacrifice everything just for his own selfish desires? ** ON GOING
You Belong With Me (Complete)
Author's note: Before you read this, I just want to let you all know that I have grown up now and I am no longer the same stupid teenager who wrote this with some of the offensive jokes and comments that you may see in here. Clearly, I was still very naive and lacked awareness. I implore you to please read with caution and at your own risk. Some statements will be offensive and I truly apologize (I literally died from cringe when I read this again). I will not delete this seeing as there are still numerous people who choose to read and enjoy it (surprisingly) but I trust that you know better and what is right. ________________ Penelope Myers a.k.a. Pel is one of the teenagers you could describe as a nerd, shy, timid and weird. Even though a lot of people don't like her, this couldn't stop her feelings grow for Jay Richards, the most popular guy in their school. She would do anything just to get him. But when Jay and Kate Jenkins (the meanest, most popular cheerleader in school) started dating, her heart was immediately shattered into a million pieces. She knew she couldn't beat Kate since she was a bully, perfect, popular and most of all possessive. She could be scary. Daniel Harper a.k.a. Danny is one of Pel's best friends. He was as nerdy as her and a bit shy too. He knew about her feelings for this Jay guy and he didn't like it at all. You see, he had a secret crush on Pel since they first met and no one knew it except him. But when he saw how sad and desperate Pel was after finding out Jay and Kate's relationship, he decided to help her get him anyway. He only wanted her happiness after all. But can Danny change Pel's mind along the way and be his instead? This story is a simple teen love romance that you would definitely want to read. It includes humor, heartbreak, best friends, crushes and most of all true love. It's cliche as it could get. But hey, life is one big cliche too right? (Trailer on the side)Complete
The makeover
"You know you still want me." he said cockily. "As if!" I yelled at him. "I must say, I like the new look." he all but smirked. ************************** Alex was the shy, quiet nerd that nobody talked to. Although, she was shy at school she was quit loud, crazy , and pretty sarcastic. She just thought that nobody at school was worth her time. Damien was your typical cocky jock. He had the girls, the 'followers', and he was the captain of the soccer team. Now, you're probably wondering how they both fit in to the story. Well, they used to date. It just didn't end well. So, Alex now hates Damien. For the reason that he stole her heart and that he is, as she put it, "an egotistical asshole". ============================= Ok. So this is my first story I don't know how it will turn out. So, please comment and tell me how you think it's going. Oh and mild language.Complete
