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.

"Are you crazy?! Piss off!" Sam Harrison screams. "You can't turn down an opportunity like this, sweetheart. I know you'd die to be seen with me as your boyfriend. Well, fake boyfriend but no one needs to--" "No uhm id rather not be seen with a conceited douche. But thanks for the offer." "A conceited douche that every single girl in this school adores, yes." Football captain Nate Hadley corrected. "Not every girl." Sam had started walking away but stopped abruptly when Nate spoke. "I know you've been dreaming to study in Hadley University for college. Be mine for a month and you will get what you desire." That statement definitely changed Sam Harrison's life forever by making her decide the craziest decision yet. But it doesn't stop there. #27 ChickLit (11/30/15) **This book was only slightly edited so feel free to pinpoint grammatical errors!**

Crazy but Sweet, Sweet but Crazy by coko_rose

As heiress of Horan Holdings, a disgraced press company, Clare Horan moves to another school in her senior year of high school after losing her temper against a classmate. That's when she meets Elliot Lockwood, son of a mega tycoon. With winning smiles and a handsome face that turns many heads, Elliot is loved by everyone in school. But Clare knows Elliot for who he is- a boy who sees people as tools, and a boy who cares for no one- even himself. Someone she should stay away from. The pair end up in a relationship of give-and-take- to find out the truth behind the disappearance of Elliot's mother and the suspicious grounds on which Clare's father was put in prison for. But soon enough, Clare sees Elliot for who he really is behind his charming smiles, quick wits and manners- a boy with unexplained bruises, a boy merely used as publicity tool of his adoptive family, and possibly, a boy who's running out of time- to live. The story of Clare and Elliot. Clare, the crazy but sweet and Elliot, the sweet but crazy. -@- He was quiet for a moment, and then, slowly, shifted his head slightly and pressed his lips against my neck. Fuck. My insides seemed to melt. By my sides, my fingers slackened. "You want the shameless type or the bashful type?" Pulling his head away from my shoulder, Elliot straightened. Gently shifting his cap up, he looked at me, grinning. "You tell me what you want. I'll do just that." ~ * ~ "My strategy was to make you pity me, so that you'll help me more actively." Elliot smiled faintly. "But it kinda feels like shit, with you looking at me like that." "Like what?" "Like you sincerely sympathize with me."

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'.

Kara Farrington has a perfect life: she has a boyfriend her parents love, the money to buy Prada shoes, and a friend who loves shopping with her. Except, Kara has grown indifferent toward her boyfriend, doesn't care much about her parents' money, and hates shopping. Her motto is "fake it till you make it," and it's been doing her just fine, even if "perfect" doesn't actually mean "happy." When Kara receives birthday gifts full of betrayal and heartache, her perfect life begins to crumble. All Kara wants is to continue her grandpa's legacy by joining the family law business to help those less fortunate. Gramps is Kara's role model, and after she graduates from college, she wants to use the power of law to help people. But with her anxiety, stage fright, and well-practiced faux life, convincing her parents she's ready for the pre-law track seems impossible. Her parents have a different plan for her-marry someone who meets their prerequisites for love.

Desperate, Kara begs Dean Sawyer, a renowned playboy in school, to be her fake boyfriend for the semester.

As their charade progresses, their chemistry grows, and Kara has to keep herself from falling for swoon-worthy, secret-keeping Dean. 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. Some scenes deal with sensitive topics some may find triggering. Happily-ever-after is guaranteed.

I Hate Football Players by still_just_me

Football players are assholes. I know - my brother is their king. Older and annoyingly overprotective, he's the star quarterback at Santa Cruz High School. I love him, but everyone worships the air he breathes and it's suffocating. After a traumatic experience with a quarterback three years ago, I want nothing to do with boys and dating. All that matters is getting into college, so I ace my classes and sign up for my school's student ambassador program to boost my applications. Thankfully, I have my best friend, Harper, to get me through high school being overshadowed by my brother. My plans for a quiet, low-key senior year are destroyed when my brother's cocky, arrogant rival keeps butting into my life. Logan Hightower is a total player who expects me to drool at his feet while he uses me to burn my brother's game. If he thinks I'll fall for his gorgeous looks and shallow charms, he's totally mistaken. He'll never succeed because I hate football players. Note: Some of the chapters have mature content, as marked. Swearing is blatantly rampant and sensitive chapters are marked with the associated trigger warnings. highest rankings: #1 lovestory, youngadult, quarterback, goodgirl, cute, texting, sports, slowburn, series, & California, highschool, teenager, teenfic, series, completed #2 romance This story is complete, edited, and totally revamped in 2023! -me
