Extra Credit by Xmintflake

"Why do you always avoid my questions?" "I'm not, it's just that there's nothing to say. Who would ever want to date someone they can't even talk to? It's not rocket science. My eyes are weird, and people get tired of me eventually. There's your one-page essay. Now please don't snow me to death .-." "What? All that you just said is a lie. And I should snow you to death for even saying that! I would definitely date you." "...Thanks." 🍒｡･ﾟ♡ﾟ･｡🍓｡･ﾟ♡ﾟ･｡ Dallas Addison had it all; being a talented swimmer and dating the star of the football team, she didn't think she lacked anything in any capacity.

It is a soft romance book about a girl who has a crush on her male best friend's classmate and her best friend and his classmate are a year older than her. And they all live near each other and see each other everyday.

Thank you for your understanding. I do not own any of the pictures shown in the story. Thank you, I hope you enjoy the story.

Waves of Songbird by AirBear0621

In the process of being REWRITTEN as of 05/13/2025 Everyone in Riverside knew the Taylor twins - the two siblings who could never go a minute without one another. From the age that they could walk, it was them along with their mother's childhood best friend's son. Two turned into Three. The Three Musketeers as they were called. From spending every morning of sunrise to every second together till sunset, they were inseparable. All it took was one phone call, and the next thing you know the trio turned into a duo of twins with no goodbyes. Being young with no social media, no forms of communication it was like that part of childhood, was a dream. Almost 6 years later, what could go wrong with the Taylor twins last year of school? Still being inseparable to annoying family banter. You get a kick out of your regular school life problems. Drama, high school romance, Friday Night lights in uniform, Saturday day time volunteering, to Saturday night racing. Sundays were family night cookouts. All was going great till the person you thought was almost a dream, comes back into your life, a life you know was different from before.

Fell For A Stranger by Blossomquill33

His rich, velvety voice sent thrills down my spine as he spoke my name. His intense, mesmerising gaze focused on mine, making it impossible to look away. As he drew me closer, his powerful arms wrapped around me, and I could feel the warmth of his breath against my skin. The aroma of his fragrance, a seductive blend of spice and musk, filled the air, making my heart race and my senses whirl. It's as if every aspect of him is intended to captivate and enchant me, keeping me completely entranced. Release me," I muttered, feeling my cheeks heat up as I stubbornly avoided his gaze. He let go like he had forgotten to do so. For a few seconds, neither of us said anything. I fiddled with the hem of my sleeve, pretending I was calm, while secretly screaming inside. Why is he just standing there? Say something, idiot! Finally, he broke the silence. "So, why were you ignoring me?" he asked in low, almost accusing. "Why would I ignore you?" I lied without flinching, acting like innocent. But he wasn't buying it. "I saw you," he said, stepping a little closer. "You ducked behind a door like you were dodging bullets. You thought I wouldn't notice?" Ugh, busted. I rolled my eyes. "Maybe I just didn't have any reason to confront you," I replied, crossing my arms as a shield against how close he was now. He leaned in slightly, smirking, "Oh, but you had plenty of reasons to hang around those guys at the swimming pool, huh?" he shot back. "I was just... talking," I said defensively. "It's called being social. You should try it sometime instead of lurking around like a spy." He chuckled, "Lurking? Please. I was just passing by. I was surprised when I saw you laughing with those guys like you were starring in some rom-com." I refuse to back down. "And what if I was?" I challenged. He didn't flinch. Instead, he tilted his head with a mock-thoughtful expression. "Then I guess I'd have to remind you... there are better options around " he said, tapping his chest casually.
