"So here I am, bawling my eyes out on my bed. I've got mascara streaming down my face, my eyes are red and puffy, I can't breathe, and it feels like my heart is physically breaking inside. I'm looking at sad, crush quotes and, if you couldn't tell by that clue, this is all over a boy: a dumb, horrible, most caring, sweet, funny, and lovely boy. A guy who I am absolutely infatuated with but will never like me back. He hates me, and it all started because of a stupid dare," ------------------------------ Lanabeth Valentine has never been one to turn down a dare, even if that means leaving a not so stellar first impression on the new guy at school. Entirely embarrassed, she plans to never speak about the event and avoid the new kid, Caleb Hunter, at all cost, which isn't easy when he's her next door neighbor and their families have weekly Friday night dinners together. Caleb Hunter has never been one to follow the rules, and after Lanabeth leaves a very lasting first impression, Caleb has made it his mission in life to drive Lanabeth Valentine insane. But as horrible as Caleb Hunter is, he may be exactly what Lanabeth needs at the moment. *this book is published on Amazon under It All Started with a Dare by Rachelle Díaz Valle

If only it was an Illusion! by Aafrynn
60 parts Complete
"you're no one to me", his words echoed in my ears but what was it all when he kissed me; merely an illusion? It felt so real and lively. "...and just so you know, you're not allowed to leave this job until or before 6 months", he flung the contract papers in the air. I had signed the papers, the terms and conditions clearly meant that I was supposed to work for his company and had no right to leave it until his consent. "Leave my cabin for now", he ordered as he turned behind. ********** Amanda Waters is your typical College student who happens to face a lot of financial difficulties and as a result, is made to earn a living. She's blunt, She's sensitive but she is also accompanied by two of her best friends in this story: Gina Sullivan and Francis Rutherfold. The enterprise which she works in is different, very different. In fact, the 'CEO' is not just another Happy go lucky male lead of the company. Aaron Reynolds- Rude, Arrogant, Harsh, and Stubborn. He's what they call an eccedentesiast. They say that a person who defines negative adjectives has a lot more inside them, the darkness in that person may overrule all the Positiveness. Well, with Aaron, it's hard to say. But...What if Amanda already had a face-off with 'The CEO' before working in his firm? What if she had already drawn a thick line of hate? What if egos of the same level collide? What then? True Love? More like an illusion! An illusion that poses a life threat. An illusion with the ability to make you believe in non-existent things such as; fairies, demons, fate, and even destiny! Ironic is it not? What we as humans happen to rely on.
