Deja vu all over again. . .
In 1993, high school senior Trixie Kuentzmann went to Disney World over spring break and was accidentally put in the same room as her boyfriend. She became the Infamous Girl Who Got Pregnant on the Field Trip that they still talk about today.
In 2015, high school teacher Beatrix Kuentzmann is chaperoning the choir's spring break class trip and is forced to room with. . .the same man!
This time it will be different. After all, she and Tad are no longer young lovers but bickering divorcees. Plus, she has a "Burning Ember of Anger and Ambition" that helps her control both her classes and her college-aged daughter. To keep it fueled, she carries around a Document that reminds her why she's so angry--and prevents her from feeling anything other than hatred towards Tad, who ended their marriage with a horrifying betrayal during his fifteen minutes of fame.
Now he's a one-hit-wonder turned choirmaster, and while he certainly looks different, has he really changed? When a mysterious figure from their past turns up at the choir competition, Trixie must reevaluate everything she ever knew about the end of their marriage, and whether there's more to life than being in control.

Beneath Miss Swan's Surface [Completed] (teacherxstudent)
Kris Emerson is counting down the days-two months left of high school, and she's barely keeping it together. She's a storm wrapped in silence, a girl known for skipping class, snapping back, and shutting down. Teachers have given up. Her aunt has one foot out the door. The world expects nothing from her-and she's learned to expect even less in return. Then comes Miss Swan. The new English teacher. Mysterious. Elegant. Out of place. She speaks with a quiet intensity that disarms the room, and for reasons Kris can't explain, she doesn't look away from her like everyone else does. Instead, she lingers. Watches. Listens. At first, Kris doesn't trust her. But slowly, something shifts. The tension in her chest loosens when Miss Swan is near. Their conversations stretch past the bell. Glances last longer than they should. What starts as curiosity becomes something deeper-something charged. And Kris begins to feel it. The way Miss Swan sees her. Not like a student. Not like a burden. But like something fragile, and dangerous, and worth holding onto. Behind Miss Swan's composed smile, though, is a shadow she can't quite hide. There's something in her past-something dark. Something that follows her like a whisper through the halls. A taunting past she's buried deep, but not deep enough. Kris doesn't know what it is, only that it's there. And that it's tied to the flicker of pain behind Miss Swan's eyes. As their connection intensifies, the lines begin to blur. Miss Swan grows distant, then too close. Careful, then too vulnerable. Kris knows something is wrong. She feels the weight of it every time Miss Swan looks at her like she's the only person in the world-and the last person she should ever be near. Because whatever is haunting Miss Swan... it's creeping closer. And whatever she feels for Kris-it's forbidden. Unspoken. But it's there. And now, Kris is tangled in it-unable to pull back, unwilling to let go.Complete

(COMPLETED AND EXTREMELY CRINGY AT TIMES. MANY PLOT HOLES TOO LOL. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED.) When 17-year-old Danielle Brooks is caught for underground fighting, she didn't know what to expect. Having left an abusive household and school at the age of 15, Danielle was left to fend for herself. Now back in high school to finish her senior year, what she really did not expect is to see a certain someone by the name of Matt Roberts, the grumpy guy who had fought with her just before she was caught. To top it off, he's her English teacher. Danielle is certainly not prepared for what is to come, especially when a piece from her abusive past has come back to get her... (First of all, I wrote this is 2011 when I was only 13 and this story plot was the hype in Wattpad. I admit this story is extremely cringy at times but I still feel hurt seeing some placing this under "Trash" or something like that considering I had taken so much time and effort to complete this for those who did appreciate this.)Complete
