REVISED 2018

Skinny, awkward, and plain ugly. That's what most people would describe Eva Farrow, a 15 year old girl yearning to be accepted and loved by her family, peers, and most of all: her best friend Vincent Parker. Unfortunately for Eva, Vince has already fallen head over heels for the beautiful brunette, Lissa Fox--who also happens to be Eva's tormentor. 
After witnessing the boy she loves asking her nemesis to be his date to Ball Night, Eva decides to ditch school and run away. She dashes through the woods near her neighborhood and comes across a small cabin she had never seen before. Inside, is a strange old ghastly woman who agrees to give Eva just what she wants: beauty and love, but for a price. 
Eva accepts, thinking the lady just wants her money, but she soon realizes exactly what she had bargained for...and it's anything but pretty.

[COMPLETED] #1 on the Hot list in category Short Story. "I have a problem. The name Eva Hawkins has been running through my mind several times the past four weeks. That's what usually happens when a boy starts developing feelings for a girl. I wouldn't know as I always claim, I've never fallen in love before. Perhaps attirance and looks in general made me feel as if I didn't need to love. I could get anyone as simple as it sounds. No feelings attached or reluctance. One-time things. But I was falling hard and swift. It does go crazy when boys develop feelings.

Midnight Rose by DeathNice12

This is a remake of the book "The Wolf and the Witch" feel free to check it out but fair warning I made it years ago and its pretty different from this version. ~Cover by me~ "That was a close one Ian you were almost late." Ms. Wells the teacher said to a student who came in right as the final bell rang. "But I made it" He smiles as he comes over to sit down. His smile showed off his perfectly straight white teeth. He had black hair that wasn't too long or too short but it was fluffy and pretty perfect. A section of hair hug loosly on his forhead while the rest of it was pushed back behind his ears and reached the top of his black shirt. He was pretty tall too. "Hey I'm Ian" He said reaching out his hand. "I'm Evan" I said taking his hand. Oh..I wouldn't know I've never been there." "Oh well then" he leaned over to look around my hair that was shielding my face. "We should go, If you want too that is." "Oh uh..." "They have really good cakes and stuff too. What do ya say?" "Evan" Ian started "I am going to kiss you" his words coming out with determination. Before I could stop him or even react I felt his soft, warm lips touch mine lightly. His scent becoming more dominate. His warmth surrounding me. Millions of tiny sparks running through my body. I'm not sure what came over me... Maybe I just wanted to revel in this new emotion... Maybe I've lost my my mind... But instead of pushing him away I closed my eyes welcoming him... Evan Pierce 15 years old lost her mom and was raised by her single dad who did everything he could for her. Evan has moved so many times in her life she's lost count what will happen when this total introvert meets 17 year old hottie Ian Walker? This cliche story isn't super action packed but does have a lot of love, confusion, and possibly hate? Come on this journey with them and find out.

The Secret of Soul by bvhfdjva

“I tucked my light brown hair behind my ear and placed on my warm, light blue winter jacket and headed for the woods. He was here, breathing down my neck, yet not here at all. I felt his presence consume me, yet I felt nothing. The cold air whipped into my face and I looking into the July snow. “Whitney,” the spirits whispered. He was here.” What happens when one era ends and another begins? Whitney woke up from her afternoon nap when her best friend Sarah called. Apparently, the world was ending, despite the obvious knowledge it wasn't, and Sarah wanted to party. Whitney was always the third wheel when it came to Sarah and her boyfriend Jack, and was really not up for it, but she threw on some clothes and met them at the beach. Whitney met them, and after hours of torture, ran away from them after almost drinking cow blood. On her run, she saved lives and saw the world beginning to change. She ends the escape at Courtney's house, a local teen, who was drunk with her best friends. Unfortunately, the Ouija board "joke" turned into a true spell that slowly caused the human race to disintegrate and the rise of supernatural beings to become a reality. I dedicate this story to my best friend Zoe. Zoe, you're a constant inspiration for this and I love you forever for it!!!

High School Magical by DeirdreSpark

Maija Wessels, a high school junior, is confident, clever, and insightful. She hangs out at the beach with her besties, loves S'mores, and has a major crush on Carter Miller. She's also a witch. At least, that's what the Certified Witch Caretakers tell her when they show up with a letter from Applemoor Academy for the Magically Talented. She's also in the first graduating class after Applemoor opened its doors to all magical beings: unicorns, elves, vampires, and more. However, not everything is fluffy bunnies, apple pie, and rainbows. There are boys too: the mysterious and brooding JJ who appears after she sees her name in the stars. Then Bobby Gold whose smile could melt any girls' heart. As she tries to balance her old life with her supposed newfound abilities (not to mention the homework and spellwork), she can't use her cellphone, her roommate won't talk to her, she gets locked in a classroom, and tension among the magical beings on campus mounts. And everyone keeps saying she looks exactly like Imogen Hawkes, the subject of the last great prophecy. Meanwhile, she's just trying to get through the day without turning anyone into a toad. Read the first installment of the ten-part High School Magical series, with each story published on Wattpad on the first of the month and on Amazon on the fifteenth.
