Sk8er Boi (Logan Reese)
Kelsey Rivera hates being a new student. She hates school. And most importantly, she hates people. Growing up, she had a terrible life. Her mother would force her to go to different schools until she got herself kicked out for being bad. She didn't want to take care of her messed up child, and boarding schools were always the best to put Kelsey away where she could forget about her. It was better that way, Kelsey kept telling herself as she grew up. She didn't get close to people because they would always let her down like her mother. That's why she was her mother; she taught Kelsey what not to want in life. And Kelsey was fine with it. Pacific Coast Academy was her last chance. Her mother threatened that if she got into trouble one more time, she would send her away to military school. Kelsey definitely did not want to do that, so she thought about making a difference in her life. Kelsey wasn't going to try anymore, though, because what was the point? Life had dealt her the wrong hand, and she was going to let it kill her. But the people at Pacific Coast Academy were different than others she had met, and there was this annoyingly cute boy names Logan Reese that made her want to stay. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad for her to stay, just to see what PCA had to offer. It wouldn't be that bad if Kelsey did make some friends. It wouldn't be that bad if Kelsey did want a better life for herself. But, how far would she go to find that? She wasn't sure. She was too afraid to find out.Complete
A Day In His Life (Completed)
Michael used to be in love. But because of previous heartbreak, he's hesitant to love again. Until he met Alaya. She would tell you she is just your average girl, but Mike knows better. Yet, he can't seem to allow himself to accept what he feels, until an unexpected tragedy happens in his life. And he sees that, through this tragedy, Alaya is there and willing to help him cope. But there is still something in the back of his mind telling him he is not ready yet. So what will he do? After losing her father at a young age, Alaya grew up never knowing what it is to love a man other than him. She was never the type to allow a man into her heart and she has always stayed away from that temptation so that she could focus on herself and heal from the emotional wounds losing her father has left behind. Alaya never expected another man to remind her of what that unconditional love felt like, until she met Michael. And he turned her world upside down. After a short lived whirlwind romance, she finds out why she never wanted to love a man the way she loved her father, all while longing for another day in his life... Authors Note: Hey loves, please be gentle. This was my first attempt at writing a novel instead of my usual poetry. I know a lot of the content may be cringey and in desperate need of editing, however, I don't have that type of patience lol. So enjoy it for what it is...a little something from someone who knew nothing at the time.Complete
