Eleanor O'Donnell is completely normal. Mediocre, even. She has a few friends, but she's not overly popular. Her parents are in love and they both work, but they're far from rich. She takes two honors classes in her junior year of high school, but she's not overly smart. 
Her best friend, Jasper Crouch, has had a rivalry with a boy named Oliver Ceyton since before she even moved to Georgia in seventh grade. She's always finding them arguing somewhere around; school, restaurants, the grocery store. They've never explained their rivalry, and soon she gave up asking. But one time after arguing, Oliver caught up with Eleanor while Jasper wasn't around and hinted that the arguments and occasional fist fights weren't his fault. 
Don't get me wrong, there's no love lost between Oliver and Eleanor, but as she gets closer to finally unraveling the mysterious rivalry between her best friend and his worst enemy, she feels herself drifting away from her best friend, and trusting Oli more and more.All Rights Reserved

The Bad Boy and Me by readbooksforever

Meet Violet Summers. She's the sarcastic girl who doesn't really ever get noticed by anyone. She blends into any crowd because of how "normal" she is. And she loves it. She wouldn't be able to stand the attention of everyone around her. That's why she won't tell Ryan Bloore, her crush for three years, that she practically worships the ground he walks on. Ryan is the captain of the basketball team at their school, so guys see him like he's a god and girls act like he walks on water. If they were to date, all eyes would be on her- she would be under everyone's scrutiny. So she's kept her feelings a secret, and she's done her best to suppress her emotions these past years, but she's realized that she's been so caught up in making people not notice her that she didn't realize how lonely she would be when no one was watching. Now meet Ryder Knight. School bad boy. Quarterback captain and heartthrob. The kind that wears a leather jacket and has tattoos all over his arms. The one who shows up to school riding a motorcycle. Just your average run of the mill "if you get involved with this guy, you will meet some serious trouble" kind of male. Well, too bad for Violet, she's stuck with him now. After all of the years of pushing away her feelings for Ryan because of her fear of being seen, she is now all anyone can look at- because of Ryder. Because of him, she can feel their stares, and she hates him for it. The longer they spend time together, the more Ryder starts to realize he actually enjoys being around her-despite her snarky comments about how much she despises him. And if Violet is being completely honest with herself, she's also starting to realize she might not actually hate the fact that people are noticing her now, but hate the way Ryder makes her feel.
