Andrew Clark, a bastard/enemy next door to Tara, is ironically her childhood friend since their parents are extremely good buds. He has to spend the summer all by himself thanks to her(not really her fault). Fortunately, he has an online bud to talk with.
...You see how this will end up already, huh? It'll end tragically. Very.

[COMPLETE] Sorry this may be cringe, it was written very long ago A seemingly ordinary, working college girl meets a cool, undeniably sexy boy with millions of followers at his feet. How will their completely different lives allow, or prevent them from getting what they want? Expect some drama, flirty lines, steamy scenes, funny best friends, and perhaps, an overall epic love connection. ~ Carter came around the corner as his eyes darkened with a predatory gaze. Oh no. He took a step forward, minimalizing the distance with every dominating stride, as I froze in my spot. My breath hitched as his arms finally encircled my waist and his eyes locked with mine. In one swift motion, he flipped my body so my back was pressed against his chest and hands gripped the curve of my hips. "What game are you trying to play at Valerie?" he spoke in a husky voice. Goosebumps danced along my skin as his hot breath fanned against the shell of my ear and his fingertips lit a trail of blazing heat along the length of my arm. Mentally shaking myself from the trance of that which is Carter Bryson, I tilted my head towards him and whispered; "One where you'll lose." Quickly escaping his hold on me before the tension became unbearable, I spun on my heel to face him and slowly backed away towards the exit. "Good luck though." I added mischievously. With a smirk and a devilish glint in his eyes that could even give hell a run for its money, he replied; "I'm not a player though, baby. I'm the gamemaker." ~ ❗️Mature content.

I'm Not That Girl
What happens when someone you once knew returns to your life? Do things go back to the way they were? Are emotions involved? Do people get hurt? Those were the questions going through Elle Paterson's mind when Nick Ross reentered her life. Elle was what one would refer to as the "nerd," when classifying different social standings in high school. She didn't think the same way as everyone around her, and because of that, the kids at her school didn't really understand her. All she saw at school were the snobby girls she couldn't wait to get away from. She was hanging on by a thread, and then, when she least expected it, Nick Ross was there to catch her. It's an odd romance, with twists and turns, the occasional best friend debacle, hint of jealousy, and rich airhead to screw things up. High school has always been a challenge, but who knew a private school could really have this much drama?Complete![[Excerpt] the Trouble with Hate is...](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/211194323-256-k702096.jpg)

Leilani Granger can't stand the person Casper Drake has become, and Casper doesn't even recognise his best mate's little sister anymore. Loving each other is second-nature, but they don't know how not to hate each other either. As they face losing Leilani's only remaining brother and Casper's best mate to his inner demons, old habits lead them back to each other for comfort. But, after one night of a deeper connection than either of them were ready for, the lines between the emotional and the physical start to blur. Leilani wasn't the kind to lose herself in meaningless sex. Casper's been doing it for years. It's the only time they can forget the storm clouds in their lives. It's the only time they can remember the sunshine. It's the only time hate doesn't get in the way. But, the trouble with hate is...it's often not hate at all. NB: Contains mature content.

Love with strings detached
I put on a show only for him in front of hundreds of people. I bring one hand up to my hair flicking them to the other side, trailing that hand down to my sternum and then my boob as I keep swaying my hips from to side, bending my knees as I lower myself a bit to the ground before sharply standing up again and slowly spinning around, circling my hips. I run my hands through the back of my hair before nailing my gaze on his eyes, slowly walking up to him. I watch him as he wets his lips before biting his plumb bottom one, eyes trailing up my body. Once I reach him, I wrap my arms around his neck and run my fingers through his hair as I press my body up against his. His hands shoot out to grab me from my lower waist, pulling me even closer to him as he pushes a leg between mine, staring into my eyes. I turn my head to the side and brush my lips against his ear before licking and biting his earlobe the same way I did at the party before whispering a few words he was dying to hear.
