"Will you all just get realistic?"
You know those sappy love stories where a girl goes to her favorite coffee shop to get her favorite drink and she ends up tripping and spilling it all over a guy?
You know how their eyes meet and whoever is writing the story makes a huge deal out of it?
They call it 'love at first sight' or some shit?
Yeah, that's not this story.
Kristen Avery never liked love stories. She never enjoyed romance movies. She never understood those people who were in love with anything related to love.
Maybe it was because her parents were divorced when she was fifteen. Maybe it was because all of her friends were tragically single after an unfortunate break up.
Nevertheless, the last thing she wanted was to be the next love story.
Jake was the king of sappy. Any girl in the world would kill to spend five minutes in his spotlight. He could get any girl, other than Kristen.
When they both get the lead in the school play and are forced to spend hours upon hours together, you could see Kristen's struggle.
So, why is Jake still following her around like a lost puppy after the play ends? Why is he still trying to talk to her and hold her books? And why isn't Kristen stopping him?

❝That's the thing about love. It isn't going to be easy, it isn't going to be smooth, but it's going to be worth it. Because sometimes you have to take the plunge. And you never know if you'll make it out again.❞ Maybe it's the way he looked at her that day in kindergarten or maybe it's the way he was there for her all those years. Whatever it was, somewhere along the way Kaylee fell for Dylan - hard. She soon realizes, however, that feelings can be misinterpreted and fate often doesn't play in her favor. When a rift forms between the two, all hope seems lost and Kaylee is forced to move on. But later, when fate finally decides to twist in her favor, Kaylee is given a second chance to fix their romance. As the two work through resetting their relationship, they soon learn that friendships often don't go as planned, relationships aren't actually that simple, and words are not always easily said. And in the end, everything may just crash and burn. ******************************************* Warning: Read at your own risk! This is my first story on Wattpad (which I wrote when I was 14), so you know what that means - cringe, plot holes, and errors. It's not the most well-written; there are decent chapters and bad chapters. I hope you decide to give this story a chance anyways, though.Complete

Me and you till the end
"They hated each other first. Then they learned what real love feels like messy, loud, and impossible to forget." Jacob Reeves and Olivia Wilde were never supposed to work together. He was the quiet, brooding type - the guy who kept his guard up and his feelings buried deeper than anyone could reach. She was all passion and fire, a hopeless romantic who believed that love could fix anything. So when they were forced to team up for a college project about love, it felt like a cruel joke. Their meetings were full of sarcasm, stubborn arguments, and frustrated sighs. He thought she was too idealistic. She thought he didn't have a heart. But late nights have a way of breaking down walls. Between stacks of notes and too many cups of coffee, their conversations began to shift. The project became an excuse to stay longer, to talk about things that had nothing to do with school - dreams, fears, regrets, and everything in between. Somewhere between the bickering and the laughter, Jacob and Olivia fell for each other. Not in a perfect, movie-scene kind of way, but in a real way - messy, unexpected, and impossible to control. But timing has never been kind to them. Life pulled them in different directions - heartbreaks, ambitions, and choices they couldn't undo. Still, what they shared never truly faded. It lingered in every memory, every "what if," every song that reminded them of what once was. Because some love stories don't end - they echo. And theirs? It's the kind you never forget, no matter how far you run.Complete

Your cute little giggles whenever you see something funny in a try not to laugh challenge or anything funny in general. Even during the most hard trials that you face, you find away. Mark Edward Fischbach... I fucking love you. ---- Fair Warning: So I wrote this book like 3 years ago up till 2 years ago and it's not that good. I am currently remaking this book because my anxiety makes me anxious about it and I also dislike all of it except maybe the last two chapters. This whole entire book will be completely remade from start to finish and all of the childish editor notes will be cut out because I think they are cringe. Some things may be dramatically different from before and if you've read it previously, this was completely remade and you could give it another shot if you want to. ----- In the meantime, if you want to see how my writing has progressed and my up to date writing, you should read my WWIII Septiplier AU that has its plot done from start to finish. If you've read this far, comment 'Bouncy' on the first chapter to be listed in my shoutout book! I appreciate the support that you all have given me and it makes my day when you vote and comment.

I Checked Out the Badboy's Boxers
"Not the typical cliche teen fiction" "You're hooked from the get go. Pretty much similar to when you can't stop eating till the last slice of pizza, or have the eagerness to pee, but can't because you're scared that if you stop reading you'll miss the intensity each word brings." "There isn't even a word good enough to describe this book. I'm speechless." - "Please Lexa?" Elle looks at me, "Just fill in my spot for ten minutes." At that moment I was calm, what could go wrong with running a checkout isle for ten minutes? As it turns out, everything. -- "Why are you checking me out?" His voice questions. Even his voice is the sexiest thing I've ever heard. Not to mention the broad shoulder, killer jawlined boy it came from. "I wasn't, I swear!" My cheeks blush ferociously. How the hell did he notice? In fact I'd always thought I was pretty stealthy. He just chuckles and looks at me, a rambling mess, "Yes you are." "Okay, alright, you know what-" I pause trying to pick up the pieces of my shattered dignity from the floor, "Maybe you shouldn't come in here like a fracking ambercrombie model and then on top of that blame a poor little innocent girl for looking-" "I meant those. You're checking me out." He gestures to the items laying across the counter and the scanner in my hand. Oh shit. Let me just repeat that for a moment now. Oh shit. -- Started: 12/27/15 Ended: 10/24/18 February 2019: #1 HUMOR -- Warning: I cannot guarantee you will walk away from this book unaffectedComplete

Sometimes we get lucky and it's the same person, but for others you get the opportunity to fall in love all over again." ~*~ After Erik James broke up with Jenifer Powers, it crushed her.

Coffee at 5 AM √
"Wait," I put my hands on my hips and frown. "You woke me up to ask me this? Because you want to meet me every morning at five?" "Yes." "So you honestly expect me to throw away three hours of perfectly good sleep just to have coffee with you?" He rolls his eyes and smirks at me. "Yes." "And what's in it for me?" he takes a step towards me. "Duh. You get to drink coffee with me every day for a year," he points at his face. "Are you going to say no to this pretty face, are you?" I hand him a five-dollar bill. "Fine, I'll do it," he smiles. "Now go get me a mocha latte and a cream cheese bagel." √ √ √ Ella Cliff has always been the girl with a perfect Instagram feed, an amazing closet and boyfriends to die for.
