Adelaide has always been known as beautiful. At least that's what everyone tells her. But she doesn't believe it. Her crush since the third grade won't notice her, and she sits in the back of the classroom every day.
  One day her best friend convinces her to go to a meet and greet of two popular singers. From there it all goes downhill as she meets the charming Hunter Samson and the brooding, and sort of creepy, Josh Lauterdale. Adelaide will have to learn that sometimes love comes in different forms.
  
  A modern retelling of the classic fairy tale The Swan Princess told from the point of view of a girl who didn't believe in true love or that someday she would find it for herself.

**Sorry I haven't updated in a while! Life got crazy, but now I'm committed to this story and finishing it. Because I'm a lot older than when I wrote this (16/17), I'm going to be editing different parts to make the story make more sense and be better overall.**

A "Beauty and the Beast" retelling. Once upon a time, there was a boy in love with a Lilly. Not a flower, but a girl. It all started one beautiful autumn day. One autumn day that would change the boy's life forever. For on this day, he met Lilly, a beautiful girl with an ugly secret. A secret that threatens to destroy her if she cannot find a way to break the curse forced upon her. Filled with secrets, lies, and love, this short story captures the essence of the original fairy tale with an entirely new twist. ~~~ "Hello, my name is Lilly. What's yours? Is that your mother? I only just came to live here with Ivy, and I don't know many people that come to visit her yet. Do you come often? If you do, we could be friends! Would you like that? To be friends? Why, don't you speak at all? And you should really close your mouth; it is impolite to stare like that." Ivy called out to her from the doorway of the cottage. "Lilly, if you want him to speak, you must first cease speaking." Both of the women were laughing at the children, and Lilly blushed at the comment. "Sorry! I just haven't seen anyone my age yet, and I got excited, which happens rather easily. It reminds me a bit of puppies I've read about that just get so excited that they- oops. I'm doing it again. Sorry," she said with a shy smile. Adam, who had been standing there staring, just as she had pointed out, finally found his voice long enough to tell her his name. She beamed at him, saying that they would be great friends. She seized his hand and began tugging him toward the woods behind the cottage, shouting to Ivy and his mother, "We won't go far! Be back soon!" ~~~

My First Love by MansiGupta277
9 parts Complete
Meet Alizah, the ultimate parent-pleaser extraordinaire! She's like the CEO of "Operation Make-Parents-Happy," always two steps ahead of what her parents need. If love was measured in mango pickles, Alizah would have made enough to last the whole neighborhood for years-because nothing makes her happier than knowing her parents are proud (and well-fed). She's not just obedient; she's the gold-standard role model for "I'll do anything for my parents," with a side of humor and a smile that says,"Challenge accepted!" Life was all smooth until one day-BAM! Her parents dropped the biggest bombshell: "We found the perfect boy for you!" Before she could say, 'Not Ready' she was already knee-deep in wedding prep, forced into a marriage she never signed up for. The boy? A soft-spoken, polite guy named Vivaan, who looks like the human version of a greeting card-nice, but completely unnecessary (in her opinion). Now, Alizah isn't one to rebel; she's the kind of girl who'd say "thank you" after getting scolded. But being obedient has *limits*-and they were crossed somewhere between picking bridal lehengas and smiling for selfies at pre-wedding shoots. In her mind, she plotted "Mission Sabotage" Unfortunately, nothing worked, because Alizah parents could win *Gold* in emotional blackmail. "Beta, we just want to see you happy," they'd say with teary eyes, making her surrender faster than a cricketer caught in an LBW. And so, Alizah steps into her new life, half in disbelief, half in acceptance-like a girl boarding the wrong train but thinking, "Well, at least the view outside might be nice in this fake world" "Some journeys begin without a destination."Whether this one leads to chaos or contentment, only time will tell. Prepare for laugh-out-loud moments, heart-tugging twists, and the sweetest mess of feelings!

-NOT ON TOTAL HOLD BUT I RARELY UPDATE SO IT MIGHT AS WELL BE CALLED ON HOLD- Once upon a time there lived a girl. The fairest maiden on her block. She lived a easy and humble life but just like any other story that was turned upside down. With ballroom dancing and locker notes. With science explosions and late night drives. With cooking catastrophes and night time reading. Thinking how life could get any better with him. It couldn't. It doesn't. ------ Hazel Gomez Sweet. Witty. Funny. Lovely. A real charm. Alexander Williams. Self-centered. Sarcastic. Adventurous. Rich. Worlds collide and fall in love. For the time being. For the 24 months she has to live then go back to her normal peasant life. ---- "C'mon sweetheart, don't sit there and pout you know you love me" I did. But I didn't want him to know that. I smile up at him. "In your dreams Alexander, the only thing I love is food." He scoffs and smiles down looking into my eyes. Don't smile at me like that Alex. I cant take it. He leans down to meet my ear and I swear I can hear my heart thump a thousand miles an hour. "That's not what you said last night when I had you tied up" he husks "I believe you were begging me to pound into you, yes? To shove my length inside you and let you cum? I believe you loved that, hm?" Shit. ---- -slow burning romance- -happy ending-
