We all have secrets. Meet Brenda Cowell, a girl that swears a lot in her head.  
She's 17 years old and has a secret. More like hidden talents. She's a song writer and she can sing.

What happens when a new boy moves in next door. Oh and he's not just a boy.
He's Carter Underwood. The boy that used to steal her lunch in sixth grade. The boy with an ego bigger than the universe. 

The worst part is that Brenda can hear all the noises next door from her room and it's the same the other way around. 
How is Brenda suppose to hide her talents when she only sings in her room and Carter lives next door? She hates Carter.

But what if the worst part is also the best part that leads them to something special? Something undiscovered?
Something that Brenda will NEVER see coming...


WARNING: There will be a lot of swearing. SO BE AWARE. :) AND ENJOY!!

Chasing Charming ✔️ by bearjordan
28 parts Complete
Complete! "You know I really like you, right?" He was definitely drunk. "You do?" I asked. My voice was supposed to be teasing, but I think it came off as a bit startled. He laughed, "Yeah, why else would I trust you with all my secrets?" -- Betty was many things; a romantic, a fashion designer, a bit more jealous than the average girl, great with a camera, a helpful daughter and a good friend. But she was best known for being nice. And usually, the boy did not want the 'nice' girl. But this summer she was going to prove to Mike, her crush since FOREVER, that nice was enough. She was going to have an amazing summer, a perfect Junior year, and finally have her first kiss. It was a foolproof plan. Moving from her childhood home in Arizona to New Mexico at the start of Junior year was never a part of Betty's plan. But sometimes when parents are involved, plans change. So now the nice girl had to start over at a new school in a new State. And when the (maybe not so bad) bad boy, Eli, gets involved, it might be hard to be known as 'the nice girl'.
