city corruption drama family friendship friendstolovers future love romance school scifi social

When Teresa Willows wins a scholarship to an extremely prestigious school, she knows what to expect from the students who are far superior to her in looks, intelligence and status. But who cares when there's all those fancy foods and weird gadgets to try?

A complacent attitude did not prepare her for meeting Elliot Hadley however - a pleasant and charming boy with secrets of his own (which seems to be the norm with these pleasant and charming boys) - and Teresa finds herself unarmed in the face of drama, drama and more drama- oh, and also the romance.

Shoot your shot by Gemmao88

James Austen has his sights set on one girl, Callie Hughs. Her blonde hair and curvaceous figure make her the most sought after girl in college. Now that she is newly single James will not be wasting the opportunity. Emma Baker has her sights set on finishing college with the best grades and getting the job of her dreams. Nothing was going to change her focus. But what happens when the popular footballer and the college nerd are thrown together and find they have a chemistry that is hard to explain? Will they explore it or ignore it? With their paths set on very different tracks everything looks set against them. Extract " You still have to pay for today. It's a shame you don't trust my methods but good luck James". The text message was from the tutor girl, Emma. I fought with myself on whether to text her telling her to go buy a dildo and loosen up or apologise and suggest we try again. I finally opted for the latter and asked if we could try again next Wednesday. Surprisingly , she agreed and I groaned that I would have to spend the next couple of months in the presence of that girl, but it should all be worth it. Get the grades, become a pro footballer, get the girl- Callie Hughes. This is my year.

After all, how can two people living a lie ever truly experience love? Soon, Kara must choose: accept her true self and risk heartbreak, or keep faking it till she gets everything she's worked for.

Chasing Charming ✔️ by bearjordan

Complete! "You know I really like you, right?" He was definitely drunk. "You do?" I asked. My voice was supposed to be teasing, but I think it came off as a bit startled. He laughed, "Yeah, why else would I trust you with all my secrets?" -- Betty was many things; a romantic, a fashion designer, a bit more jealous than the average girl, great with a camera, a helpful daughter and a good friend. But she was best known for being nice. And usually, the boy did not want the 'nice' girl. But this summer she was going to prove to Mike, her crush since FOREVER, that nice was enough. She was going to have an amazing summer, a perfect Junior year, and finally have her first kiss. It was a foolproof plan. Moving from her childhood home in Arizona to New Mexico at the start of Junior year was never a part of Betty's plan. But sometimes when parents are involved, plans change. So now the nice girl had to start over at a new school in a new State. And when the (maybe not so bad) bad boy, Eli, gets involved, it might be hard to be known as 'the nice girl'.
