"I took a seat at the only empty table in the cafeteria and began eating the apple I had snatched from the cook. To my utter astonishment, Cameron Ace - the school's mysterious bad boy - took the seat across from me.
'Hi,' he said casually.
I gaped at the devilishly handsome boy who had never once glanced my way, even when I was still visible to the world. 'You- you can see me?' I whispered."

Amber Ross is happy with where her life is taking her - she has a 4.0 GPA, a loving boyfriend, an adoring younger sister, and a full-time scholarship for dancing at the college she has worked so hard to get into. But when she wakes up one morning and, upon looking in the mirror, finds that she has turned invisible to the world, that perfect world collapses. Amber is deemed missing by the police and is left watching the people she loves move on and grow. Her sister begins dating for the first time, her mom is sinking into a serious depression, and her dad is crumpling under the stress of work, all while she is silently observing from the shadows, whispering encouraging words that are swept away with the wind before anyone can hear them. She wasn't dead, but for some unknown reason, Amber had been turned into some kind of unseen and unheard ghost.
The following day, Amber visits her high school only to be crushed by the harsh reality. Amber's boyfriend had already moved on, muttering the same hollow words to his latest prey that he had said to her. Her loyal best friend had taken her title as captain of the dance team, spreading gossip that she had only ever befriended Amber so that one day she could become the dance team's captain.
To make matters more confusing, the school's most popular player can see Amber. With him seeming to be the only person able to see her, Amber and he must put aside their differences and work together in order to find balance to her world once more. Along the way, there's a great deal of pranks, revealed truths, and falling in love.

Before She Even Knows
''There is only one thing crossing my mind right now. If he hates me so much, then why the hell is he kissing me back?'' ----------------------- Emma White has always been kind of a loner. Her mother died giving birth to her and her father never really cared, always working in his successful company. That's why she decides to go to a college away from home, something she's been dreaming of since she can remember. However, what happens when at her very first day on campus, she crosses path with Noah Allen? He is rich, popular, cold, rude and a player just to start with. No surprise she calls him Mr. Grumpy. What is driving her insane though is that he's only too cold when it comes to her. After some not so pleasant moments and lots of glares, she tells herself that the best is to stay away from him, but it won't be that easy. After a disastrous kiss and hidden jealousy, she finds herself deeply involved into what is this frustrating boy. Add to that the fact that he is her roommates' childhood best friend and you can see drama from miles away. Noah claims to hate her ever since they met, and he doesn't mean her first day of college. He remembers her just fine from a couple of years ago and all the feelings are back. He knows she doesn't remember him and he'll use this as his leverage to do what he has to do. It's what he promised his father and himself, even if it means he has to pretend to care for her. All he cares is his family business.

He knows their history started before she even knows, what he didn't expect was for her to be so different from what he has always believed.Complete

It Started With Hello
***** Emma Pear knew she wasn't the most popular girl in high school. Her nose was usually buried in a textbook, and her grades were as spotless as her reputation for always following the rules. "Nerd" was a label she'd long since embraced. Her parents, determined to keep her on the straight and narrow, packed her schedule with violin lessons, shifts at the local animal shelter, and tutoring sessions for elementary school kids. Emma barely had time to breathe, let alone experience "normal" teenage rites of passage like parties, late-night hangouts, or even just goofing off with friends. So when the captain of the football team-the captain-unexpectedly asked her to the school dance, Emma saw a glimmer of a different life. She practically begged her parents, and to her shock, they actually said yes. She had no idea that one night, under the glittering lights of the gym, would rewrite her entire story. Blake Black was the kind of high school loner who radiated an almost magnetic quiet. Girls whispered about him in the halls, drawn to his mysterious aura and the fact that he rarely spoke to anyone. Most of his time was spent wrangling his hyper little brother, Alex. Their parents, a brain surgeon and a heart doctor, were perpetually busy, leaving little time for their growing boys. His parents made it clear attending the school dance wasn't optional. They just wanted him to "act like a normal high schooler" for a few hours. Blake's plan was simple: show his face, then ditch the minute he decently could. He brushed off a parade of hopeful girls, already counting down the minutes until he could escape. But then he saw what happened to Emma. And unlike everyone else, he couldn't just stand by and watch.Complete

But fighting with fists is easy. Fighting with wit and charm, is a whole other ball game. Blake. West-side gang leader. Leather jacket and killer glare. Don't talk back. Owen. East-side gang leader. Fancy coat and toxic stare. Don't resist. And in comes Amber. Hair of gold and oceans in her eyes. Has too much sass for her own good and always, ALWAYS, manages to get into the middle of trouble. But these boys have no idea who they're really dealing with. And when Amber descovers she knows a little too much when it comes to guns and fighting, she has to question everything she thought she knew about herself. Three can play this game. *** "Let's settle this. You got rejected, I got rejected. It's only fair that the fate of the gangs be on who gets the girl first." "That sounds rather good, Rhodes. I'll take that bet on the golden girl." *** COMPLETED FICTION AWARDS: Best new story and best new account Highest ranking in Teen Fiction: #1 on 25/06/2018Complete
