"I don't want to go anywhere, I have things to do!"    
"Life isn't always about fun and games you know. You have to think about the future!" I said.          
"Okay you're right. But think about this, why are we given life if we weren't supposed to live every moment?" 
Books, School and making the perfect future is All she focuses on. Acacia Grey is all about what lies ahead of her, instead of looking around her. But when she encounters someone totally different-- she becomes different.

*EDITORS' CHOICE 2021*After falling for her senior year teacher, Louise learns a harsh lesson on what adulthood isn't. Louise has some trauma to unpack. Heartbreak's a bitch, and her first relationship had been anything but normal. Thinking herself mature for her age, her affair with Mr. Cain started swooningly well. Except things ended quite abruptly. It's a lot for a seventeen year old to handle. But who's really at fault for what happened? Who even is Mr. Cain, and what is he hiding? From the wreckage of her naivety and self-esteem, can Louise save her friendships and rebuild herself? Our love songs aren't telling the whole truth. How can this be? In this tale of vulnerability, adolescence and painful reckoning, the arrogance of youth demands a price. * "'You're what, Louise?' he asked. 'You're sorry? What am I supposed to do here? How can I turn this around? How can I tell you that everything you want and feel is reciprocated, when I have to go back to work and pretend none of it happened?' 'I don't know the answer!' I cried. 'Neither of us do.' I threw my hands up in defeat. He caught them before they could fall. 'But how do I go back to living without your words?' His voice became a whisper. He squeezed my fingers tightly, closing his eyes and bringing them to his chest. 'I need how you make me feel, Luiza. I need it to feel alive. I won't stay away. No one's made me feel this good before. And I can't stand myself for wanting what I want. What do I do?' I was a violin bow on the verge of splintering. Every inch of me pulsed with an ache that began from the marrow of my bones. Fate had brought us here. At this crossroads of ours, there were a hundred different choices to make. A thousand different lifetimes to choose from, stemming from and decided entirely by my next choice. And in the end, I chose incorrectly. I held his face between my hands, feeling the echoing pulse of his skin. I brought his face to mine. I kissed him."

HIGHEST RANKING #80 "Will you work with me in a civil manner?" "I'm sorry, what?" "Just answer the question, Grey." "I just told you I want to win this too. I don't have a choice, do I?" I mumbled irritably. "Good, because we are going to be the best." _____________________________________ 'Fleur Cup'; a month long competition wherein one needs to find the maximum number of different colored flowers. Arabella Colours wants to carry on the legacy of her house by winning the 'Fleur Cup', which isn't exactly a cakewalk, especially since you've a partner known to be a recluse. Braydon Grey had better things to do than just participate in a stupid flower-finding competition, but then, this could be his only chance to go to Yale. So when the two have absolutely no choice but helping each other, they both know that it isn't going to be easy. Especially if you have annoying contenders and a series of drama surrounding your personal life, but maybe they don't have to face all the challenges alone. After all, they are partners, right? Maybe the quirky girl was not so bad for the dull guy, after all. ॥•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••॥ This is my first book, and therefore I request all of you to bare with me, and my writing as it still needs a lot of improvement.

The Devil's Crybaby  by Alywinter
72 parts Ongoing Mature
A man stormed in with a gun. She was shot. She lived, but the part of her that trusted life didn't. After that, she became careful. She avoided crowds. Sudden movements made her freeze. She spent more time alone because it felt easier than being around people who didn't understand what had happened to her. Life became smaller, but it felt safer that way. Then one night, someone came for her. He took her from her bed without explaining who he was. He kept her moving, kept her close, and kept his distance at the same time. A man who lived by rules she didn't understand and fear she couldn't escape. Everything about him screamed danger, yet he never touched her without reason. Never spoke more than necessary. He lived for one person only. Everything he did was for his brother. His brother had lost an eye years ago because of him, and he treated that loss like something he could never make right. He followed his brother's orders without thinking about the consequences. When his brother wanted something, he made it happen. Eliza asked questions. Tried to understand what she had been pulled into. The man who kidnapped her protected her but never from the truth. In the silence he left behind, she started filling in the gaps herself. She told herself he wouldn't protect her if she didn't matter. She told herself that the way he stayed close meant something. When she finally learns the reason she was taken, it doesn't come gently. It strips away everything she believed and leaves her facing the fact that she was never chosen. She was a promise. A problem someone else decided to solve. Two brothers want different things from her. One wants to own her. One never planned to keep her. Around them is a world where violence is normal, where people disappear without anyone asking questions, and where some men hunt for reasons that have nothing to do with survival. This is not a story about being saved.
