As the only lead investigator in James Private Eye and as an antisocial highschooler, Andrea is constantly in contact with the bad side of both her job and her school. But it gets worse when tragedy hits the coastal town and everyone is looking at Andrea for answers who is already juggling a cryptic case of three missing persons and school group projects with her sassy partner.

Enter new student - Christopher Havens, good natured, ever smiling and a people's pleaser 'Chris' as he likes to be called. For Chris Eastcliff, with it's serene ocean, lush green pastures and old historical architecture,  is filled with endless possibilities and long forgotten dreams. But under that brilliant smile there is a deep pain etched permanently in the marrow of his bones which he doesn't want anyone to see. Chris is embroiled into Andrea's quest to get answers but it's not going to be easy for them both and especially hard for Chris because Andrea does not care much for partnering up. 

Nonetheless these two unlikely duo must figure a way out to work together and trust each other as old and new clues clash together and the answers are not what they seem because the horrors of Eastcliff aren't over yet, they are just starting.

It was gentle and soft, something I never expected from a guy like him. He moved his right hand from my cheek to my waist, tugging me against him, and molded our bodies together. A wave of electricity went down to my core when he licked my lips. "Open your mouth, Bella." His commanding husky voice against my lips jolted my heart, and I followed his order like a slave. With no control, a moan erupted from my throat as his tongue met mine. It was barely audible, but I knew he heard it when he smiled against my lips. He swept my hair from my face to my back and gathered them in his fist. He tugged my head back, deepening the kiss, and my heart thrashed in my chest. At that moment, I didn't need drugs to know what being high felt like because his lips were enough to send me on nine clouds. Just once and I was addicted to it.

Only Her by meliorius

Elaine, a girl who believes she could mask her pain with success, finds herself entangled in a battle of wits and wounds with the golden boy. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . High school is supposed to be about new beginnings-a place for reinvention, for belonging, for forging friendships that last a lifetime. But for Elaine, it's not about starting over. It's about surviving. Elaine, sharp-tongued and brilliant, has always been second best to Kai Monet in arts while he was second to her in STEM but Elaine doesn't want to be second to anyone, in anything. With her top grades and her refusal to conform, she should have been untouchable. Kai Monet is a puzzle wrapped in contradictions, a celebrated & tortured artist whose work is auctioned to adoring parents and a co-founder of a successful video game company. Yet, no one ever asks why he carries that empty look in his eyes or why the "perfect" Kai never calls anywhere home. Their rivalry was set in stone from the moment he snatched away her top spot in junior year, shattering the one thing that made her feel whole, academic perfection. But their clashes are more than academic. Every glance, every exchange is a power play, a dance between fire and ice. She's sharp, cynical, and guarded-hiding bruises that aren't just on her skin. He's charming, unpredictable, and broken in ways he hides behind a smirk. Elaine thinks she can dismantle him piece by piece, exposing the cracks in his golden exterior. But what happens when she discovers that his pain mirrors her own? He thinks she's just another sharp edge to avoid. But what happens when he realizes she's the only one who truly sees him? Will they keep tearing each other apart until there's nothing left, or will the tension between them force them to confront the wounds they've been hiding all along? Because sometimes, it's not about winning or losing, it's about seeing who's left standing when the dust settles.

If Hearts Could Speak (UNEDITED) by PlushCollector

|"Sometimes the heart knows things the mind could never explain." -Ranjeet| We are teenagers. We have gone through hell and back. Listen to the stories we have to tell. Spoiler alert: we get broken in the end. But our stories come from our heart. Listen to our heartbeat. Elizabeth and Andrew were good friends up until high school. They drifted away, and rarely spoke to each other. During the last few months of high school, Elizabeth and her four friends get caught in drama. This includes crushes, breakups, makeups, bullies, and much more. Elizabeth has to keep them together and ignore her longing crush on a plain and heartbroken guy. But maybe something could distract her from all that. Maybe that distraction's name is Blake. Warning: READ AT YOUR OWN RISK! This story contains many plot holes, cliche moments, and just things that don't make any sense. (And editing would be a nightmare. I can't do it myself. I've officially given up on this story.) #569 in Teen Fiction on April 9, 2016 |Added to @weareteenqueens "High School Highlights" reading list!| |Entered in the #W.SAwards for 2016 "Most Favorited Book!"| #Wattys2016 #WriteForYou #MyYouth #weareteenqueens
