Beatrice "Bea" Masters has been her theater department's wonderkid ever since she became the stage manager when she was just a freshman. But after the fiasco that was last year's musical (which was not her fault), Bea has been dying for redemption. And since she's a senior, her school's spring production of Little Shop of Horrors is her last chance. 
  
  But just as rehearsals are about to start, Bea's best friend/assistant stage manager, Lennon, quits. Now Bea has to deal with Len's replacement (who she didn't even get to choose), Noah Ramirez. All in all, she has a long way to go before she's able to put on the great show she's been dreaming of.

| 8𝘅 𝗙𝗘𝗔𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗘𝗗 · A YA Beauty and the Beast gender-swapped retelling. Bit of a Stranger Things vibe going on, too! Life was going mega well for Beatrice-Bea Laurent, a soon-to-be 18-year-old certified Insta star slash posh gal. She was spending every waking breath throwing parties, and dodging responsibilities. Until one fateful day when an Instagram scandal has her parents banish her from New York to New Town. Next thing she knows, she is cursed by a creepy old lady and is... changed. She starts growing fur, claws AND fangs! *** Beatrice Laurent is your average posh teen girl, who goes to classes when she feels like it. Which is basically... never.

Freefall ✓ by miahandwrites

|| wattpad-featured || || romance reads 2020 2nd place winner || ❝i hope you're not afraid of heights.❞ ❝why so?❞ ❝cause we're gonna fly. ❞ ▬▬▬▬▬▬ Audrey Olsen is an introverted perfectionist and bookworm with the idée fixe of having everything planned out to the finest detail. All she wants is to get through her senior year of high school unscarred and qualify for a college scholarship. What lays ahead is, therefore, nice and clear: just another quiet year amongst studies, shifts at the bookshop, and -- most importantly -- avoidance of drama and unnecessary attention. However, what her perfect plan didn't consider was an unexpected turn of events with the name of Cameron Alvarez -- a troubled and cryptic boy who's returning to what could no longer feel like home. Both haunted by their painful pasts and bearing raging storms inside of them, how could they overcome it all if not together? Yet how dangerous would that be, -- to step off the edge of the precipice and let nothing but the force of gravity interfere as you free-fall. . . But as Audrey well knows, anything that falls, sooner or later gets broken. Is that a risk she's willing to take? ▬▬▬▬▬▬ © All Rights Reserved. 2020 FEATURED ON: @YA @YARomance @TeenFiction @Romance @WattpadMulticultural @WattCliches || highest ranks reached - #1 in sociallyawkward ||

Bulletproof by _SiaraL_

When you're broken, lost and got nothing left to lose... you become bulletproof. Trying to fix your life back together after having it shaken upside down isn't easy. Getting used to normal when you feel like an outcast in your own skin, isn't easy. Struggling to find your true place, isn't either. Nothing in Kimberly's life would ever be the same, but she got comebacks, attitude and her friends to help. A year in Kimmy's life.

Perfectly Imperfect by Rihanna_Adedeji

We're all broken, all beautifully Imperfect. They say these would be the best days of our lives but does that mean it could be the worst too? For a typical Nigerian teenager, secondary school days, especially the senior years are supposed to be the best, endless fun, happy memories, hangouts, friendship, and even first loves but for Kunmi, a girl who suffers extreme low self-esteem due to body shaming, she just wants to remain unseen for the rest of her secondary school days. A friendship with the queen bee of her school leads her to another group of teenagers, especially Adam, the pretty boy with the golden smile and for the first time, she felt she could truly belong somewhere but then, all is not what it seems with the group of teenagers as some of them have even bigger demons and secrets, secrets that'd mar them forever. Follow these teenagers on their journey to self-love, self-discovery amidst secondary school drama, setups, makeups, and well, brain-busting twists.

A New Friend by ILoveCookie3

When a heartbroken Nini is finally ready to hang out with her friends again, she realizes it's going to be a lot harder than what she prepared for. Was she ready to see Ricky again? No, not at all. Was she going to let that stop her from having a social life? Eh, maybe. The last thing she thought of was meeting his newest friend that wasn't too friendly. I am obsessed with these people (if you couldn't tell); the characters and actors. Characters belong to Disney; the storyline is mine. New chapters every Friday starting May 8, 2020.

The CEO's Safe Haven [REWRITING!] by maknae_yasminn

"You're not serious right?" He gave me a bored look, turning around to face me completely. He brought his face a little closer and parted his lips to reply, "Sweetheart I've been serious the moment you fell into my arms," --- Noah King had it all. He was well-known, handsome, influential, and the CEO of his company; King Enterprise. He knew he had everything yet deep down, he knew that he was missing something. Noah's close friends also picked up on this 'missing something' and made it a mission to change it for good. Before anyone knew what was happening, sparks fly when Lily Cole becomes a new employee at King Enterprise. Despite working at the company for a short period of time, she's heard the famous name of 'Noah King' but never seems to know his face. All Lily wanted to do was work without flaws yet clearly that wasn't in her job description. Now what happens when these two individuals meet over someone who planned it all? Someone who desperately wanted their paths to cross? Someone who wanted more than just the repeat of work, work and work? One simple flaw turned into something major; making their presence become the greatest thing yet. Little did they both know that despite the screams, taunts and the endless bicker... it was fate that brought them closer than ever before. Read the journey of Lily and Noah and see what happens. Will love blossom between them or will they continue to have elephants in the room? There's only one way to find out! By reading of course!! -- Rough Drafts Began From: May 2018 Official Published Start Date: 25th Oct 2018 Official Published End Date: 28th Feb 2020 -- 1M Reads: 21st Oct 2020

Showmance by tangles-

Showmance: a romance/relationship that is started during the production of a play or musical. Very common in, but not limited to, high school shows. Len (short for Lennon) and Eric meet under interesting circumstances. She has just been roped into being her friend's "Girl Friday" (AKA assistant stage manager) and he was somehow convinced by his twin, Sophie, to do the sound design for their high school's production of Beauty and the Beast. United by their inability to understand musicals, the two help each other navigate the politics of the tech crew, which cast members to avoid, and the rules of showmances. Although neither had ever heard of the word, they learn it's just part of the package when they find themselves in one. And just because the show is obviously going to be a failure, does their relationship have to be? *cover by @worriedly*

My Own Way by strength0629

*This is the spin-off to Runaway Bride. I recommend reading it before starting to read this one.* Locked in a small room with her mother since birth, Amanda quickly learned the dark side of life. Her mother Angela, chained by her ankle, was only able to walk around the small space. When the day came and they were freed, Amanda being 4 years old, her life turned upside-down. She had to learn to trust others, believe in them, put her life, emotion and heart on the line. She made so much progress with Emily, her psychologist of 12 years but she's having trouble with the next 'homework' Emily wants her to do, befriend Blake and learn to trust him. Being 20 years old and still only trusting her family and her only friend, Lisa, she doesn't know where to start. Sex doesn't need emotions and doesn't need for her heart to be involved. As for Blake, he'd seen Amanda for years without her giving him a glance. Working with her father as a mechanic, and her coming around now and then, made him curious about her. When they started sleeping together, he thought he had her but always waking up alone, he realized she had other things in mind. Amanda's finally an adult. What has become of her? Will she ever fully trust a man with her heart? Will she find happiness or will she continue to live her life being cold, heartless like some people call her?
