"I looked into his eyes and I saw a want-a need for something. I knew what he wanted. He wanted the comfort of his best friend. He wanted the comfort of the past. He wanted the comfort of consistency-the unchanged relationship we had before. He needed his best friend.
I looked away. I have to get out of here.
Because-I needed that too. I want the past. I want out friendship back. I want my best friend. And it was so easy to get lost in those dark brown eyes, and it was so easy to succumb to what they wanted.
But I needed to remind myself that what I wanted was more than friendship, more than just a best friend. But he can't give me what I want, and I can't ignorantly stay by his side anymore-acting like it doesn't hurt. So I have to get out of here, before I give into what we both yearn for: each other. "
It's hard to be inlove with your best friend, especially if that friendship is something not worth losing to your own selfish desires. But sometimes you need to be a little selfish when you need to do what's best for yourself.
A typical young adult novel with a slice of life and a few lessons to learn.

The Best Kind of Betrayal
It's the first day of June's senior year and everything is already going wrong.

Still. New chances are for new beginnings, right? Instead of falling into a deep dark pit of self pity (however tempting that may sound), all of this betrayal ends up leading her to the best friends she's ever had and the most exciting school year of her life. Oh - and a whole new fake boyfriend, to get some revenge on that idiot who dumped her. And who knows. Maybe even more.

Hollow Dream ✔️
A voice asked. "You'll catch a cold, why didn't you take your jacket?" I spun around, and my eyes locked with Marcus's eyes. "Hey," I said, my voice a little trembling from the cold, and I wrapped my arms across my chest, my shoulders stiffening. I had not expected that it would be so cold. My fingers dug into my sleeves, and I shifted my weight from one foot to the other, trying not to shiver too obviously. Marcus didn't answer right away. He just looked at me for a second, then stepped forward. Silently, he slid off his jacket and placed it over my shoulders, and I ensnared it tighter around me immediately. It was still warm from his body. The inside smelled... citrusy?Complete

Luna
A bullied girl meets the popular new student. ***** "Still saying that you're perfectly okay?" Max whispers. I'm surprised to hear that his voice is shaking. "I'm going to find who did this to you." ***** One time, I was the most popular girl in school. All the students in Royal Heights, the school of the richest, knew me as the pretty Luna Klein, daughter of a famous superstar and a well-known billionaire. But the next thing I know, I'm an outcast. Just because of a complicated thing called love, everything turns 180 degrees. Now, I'm the girl that everyone hates. I've lost all my friends. I've lost my best friend. And I've lost the guy that I adore. All I can do now is to ignore the bullies and to survive each day quietly, hoping that I don't attract too much attention like before. Everyone in my school starts to call me loony Luna. Or lunatic, their favorite nickname. Then he suddenly arrives. Max Cooper, the new student who just got here from Australia. Insanely good-looking and smart, topped with his impressive family background, Max easily becomes everybody's favorite, especially the girls'. Disastrously, of all the other things he can pick, Max sets his eyes on the most forbidden and despised thing in Royal Heights. Me. Even though the whole school hates that idea. But pushing Max away is like trying to tame a wild lion that has just been released from its cage. Max is unstoppable. My mother once said that if a guy is really into you, he will pursue you no matter what. I think I know now how it feels. I just don't know how to handle my heart. Because every time his piercing eyes land on me, I feel like my heart is going to burst out of my chest. ***** THE KLEINS SERIES BOOK #2 © 2021 Anya Jayvyn. All Rights Reserved.Complete
