Objection by FrenchhVanille

Luna White, a 21 year old girl, always had her life planned out ahead since she was a child. She always wanted to have a job that would help bring peace and justice to the community. One thing lead to another and she finally achieved her dream of being accepted in Riverview University, a prestige school in which she will major in law to become a lawyer. What she didn't plan was the sudden change that would come from this decision. After all, how could one simple decision change one's life so easily? Making new friends, loosing old friends and getting to learn yourself are the typical university experience. However, being betrayed by loved ones and having a rival that loathes you to the core shouldn't find themselves in the equation. To top it off, lets not forget the annoyingly hot classmate bothering her none stop for no particular reason. ___________________________ . . . . . ✧ How will Luna survive throughout her three school years while Christopher Campbell and her are jumping down each other throats? And most importantly will love find a way to her heart?

The Race by salutesophie

My life is just one big race, never slowing down, never stopping. I swim competitively, so I know lots of people all over the world. But they don't know me, they don't know my story. Amongst the sea of people it's hard to get noticed, everyone all fighting for the contract. The contract that would set you up for life, and only ten people can get it. Only ten get to be in the best team in Europe, that's my goal. On top of swimming, school and homework Gracie tries to balance boyfriends and working out what her heart really wants.

The Deep End by Fireheart73

We always wanted what we couldn't have. "Tell me you didn't feel anything," he pleaded. It was as if he was begging not to feel anything. How could I not feel anything towards him? "Truth or Lie," I whispered afraid to open my eyes. ------------------------------ (COMPLETED) There were rules. Well, just one really. Kennedy Parker was off-limits to her and her twin brother Liam's friends. Still she can't help but feel something for the boy next door Cal McCormick. Who just so happens to be her brother's best friend. Something happened over the summer that changed the way Cal sees Kennedy too. It's Junior year. All Kennedy wants to do is continue to be the best swim team captain, stay top of her class, and maintain a social life. Will the boy next door and her looming past be distractions? Can they keep their feelings at bay or will they sink into the deep end?

Sprint by H__Blanca

Book #4 in the Medley Series ARCHER SALISBURY: We're in the last sprint before the Olympics, and my spot on the Medley team is hanging by a thread. I don't have time for distractions... or competition. But I get both in the form of an aggravating new roommate and annoyingly talented teammate: Leroy James. With my parents breathing down my neck and my team taking a liking to Leroy, I feel like the walls are closing in on me. And to top it all off, Leroy is devastatingly handsome and completely unavailable-keeping my eyes to myself has never been more crucial. Or impossible. He's the rival I never wanted and the person I crave more each day but can never have. This year is going to be hell. LEROY JAMES: Changing city, college, and team a year before the Olympics is less than ideal. Also not ideal? Sharing a dorm with a deviously attractive swimmer with a mean streak. Archer Salisbury hates me on sight. He's rich, ruthless in the pool, and has a girlfriend for every day of the week. Between caring for my father and trying to swim myself into a spot on Team USA before it's too late, I don't have time for this new rivalry, but winding him up is too easy and too much fun. Archer is intent on making my life more miserable than it already is, and yet I can't help craving a taste. He's the forbidden fruit; I only want to corrupt him. I'll be going straight to hell.

Ever so slowly, I lowered my mouth to the lime. As I did so, I felt the brush of her lips on mine. Just a touch. Just a breath, and it ignited fire in my veins. And at that moment, I forgot a lot. My heart stopped, my breathing quit, my thoughts ceased. But I knew one thing, and it was screaming in the hollows of my brain. 𝘐 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦. 𝘐 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘩𝘦𝘳.

Unchain Me by caity007

'I had guilt that ate me out from the inside and made me want to throw up. Guilt that started as a young child and continued to fester until I was doomed to break. I knew that one day I would shatter like glass. I just wasn't sure if anyone would be able to put the pieces of me back together.' ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ashley Summers is the Bloomingfield Highs resident goodgirl/nerd, complete with absolutely no friends and a book for company. However guys could be throwing themselves at her because she is really one of the hottest girls at school, but her bookish tendencies and social low keep them away. And the fact that every guy who talks to her gets ignored. What she doesn't expect from the new year was the bad boy, Adrian Forsyth, persistently taking her attention away from her introverted life. Wait, she does know why. It was that stupid Chemistry class. She feels her carefully constructed life start to break as Adrian digs around her past, intent on finding out exactly what made her shut off from the world and herself for all of those years. Ashley has some deep secrets that she wants to stay hidden but piece by piece they make their way to the light. The question is what will happen when they all become revealed? It seems that while Adrian is searching for answers to the puzzle that is Ashley Summers he finds more than just her secrets. He could also find the key to her heart, a place where no person has truly seen before. Which is to say that Ashley Summers is in for some interesting events before the year is over. ---------------------------------------------------

Note: This is my first official story; feel free to give advice. I could need some. G!p Amber _________________________________________ Tara Carpenter is a young, asthmatic woman who has just graduated from Woodsboro High and has gotten a full ride, all expenses paid, including the apartment, and a scholarship to a college in the Big Apple. Going all the way to New York, especially with her friends who are, coincidentally, going to the same college, Blackmore University, is a good thing for Tara. Now, she's officially getting away from her alcoholic mother. Tara was excited to move into her new apartment, which the scholarship provided, and she was even happier to meet her flatmate. Of course, she WAS happy. But once she officially got to the apartment, her mood shifted because... Amber Freeman is her flatmate... Now, dear readers, I know what you're thinking: "Why is being roommates with Amber Freeman so bad?" Well, let me tell you. Amber was Tara's worst enemy, as Amber bullied the short girl throughout middle school AND the first half of freshman year in high school. How will Tara survive being in the same apartment as her worst enemy for the rest of college? Will she be able to perhaps befriend her, and maybe something more...?

Games We Play by Radhavi

Victore Academy boarding school is a lot of things. To the outside world, it's the heaven of schools. For some students, it's an experience they'll never forget. For others, it's the place to start their careers. And maybe for a few, it's the peak of their lives and really as good as it's going to get for them. And for me... well, I'll need a bit more than this to talk about that. But before you step in, here's a few things that everyone makes note of: 1. The students have secrets. And money. It's hard to tell what more of, honestly. 2. Don't get a room on the West Side of the girl's dorms. The birds around that private property lake house downside from campus don't stop chirping at 5AM. It's unpleasant, to say the least. 3. Avoid Mr. Labadee's classroom at all costs outside of lessons, especially past fifth period. It's better off if you're left in the dark with this one. 4. That asshole from Spain that terrorizes all the young freshmen is not hot. However, girls do make note of the fact that he works out post seventh period and right before first, near the track field. 5. The Victor's Tournament happens every year for all the senior year students. It's a pretty big deal. 6. And I think Armin Rivers is probably going to kill someone before he wins it (and it's probably gonna be that Spanish asshole). cover by soundthealarm
