Ephemeral
Adj. Lasting for a short time, transitory, short-lived.
For the past year, Ava Davidson has been living her life jumping from town to town with her mom and little brother, living nowhere for longer than a few months. Running from a father's mistake which is following them even after his death.
All she wants to do is settle down for her senior year without being chased across the country. Lie low, stay focused on her grades. She even likes her fake name this time.
Until she meets Adam Collins. He's cocky, arrogant and has an ego too big for a small town like Otium Falls, VA. Exactly what she's trying to avoid.
But then why does he make her feel that for the first time in a year, she's not just surviving, but living?

Love In All Sizes
One of the main characters of this story isn't your average pretty, size zero, micro mini type of girls. Let me introduce Ava Jacobson.

And since the very first day of her freshman year at Alexandria High School she has had a crush on Jace Michaels. Jace is your typical all American kind of guy. He is the star football player, super popular, and oh yeah gorgeous! He has brown hair with emerald green eyes, and a body to die for. And if that wasn't enough he is a super nice guy.

His Sunshine | ✓
She looks up at me, taking a step forward and smiling slightly, "How can I ever get hurt when I have you here to protect me?" "But you could have gotten hurt," I murmur softly, hanging my head and feeling my shoulders drop, the tension seeping from my body. "No. Stop," She cuts me off sternly but tenderly, "Don't talk like that, Reece. I'm okay, you're okay, we're okay," She speaks softly, reaching her hand up to gently brush her thumb over my cheek, just under the cut that's there. "We're okay," I repeat, taking a small step closer to her. She nods with a small smile, moving her hand down from my cheek and instead placing the palm of her hand on my chest, right over my heart. I know she can feel how fast my heart is beating. I just don't know why it's doing that. ~ Reece Carter is the bad boy of Northwood High. He smokes and he fights.

How best friends fall
Lena and Vanessa had been inseparable since kindergarten. They were the kind of best friends who knew each other's secrets before they were spoken, who swore that nothing-no one-would ever come between them. But high school had a way of testing even the strongest bonds. It started with Aaron. Vanessa's boyfriend. The boy Lena had never meant to fall for. But feelings didn't care about friendship pacts or unspoken rules. They crept in quietly, filling the spaces she tried to keep locked. And Vanessa, sharp as ever, noticed. Betrayal burned hot in Vanessa's chest. She wasn't the kind of girl who cried over things like this. She was the kind of girl who got even. If Lena wanted to break the rules, fine. Vanessa would break them worse. And what better way to get under her best friend's skin than by setting her sights on Lena's younger brother, the charming heartbreaker? Lines were crossed. Secrets unraveled. The best friends who once swore to put each other above everything were now caught in a web of lies, jealousy, and heartbreak. Now, they had a choice to make: fight for their friendship or let the wreckage of love and revenge consume them. Would they choose each other? Or would they let the damage be the end of everything they once had? And my friend Linneah helped come up with the concept and it's based off of us in our friendship but all the drama that happens did not happen to us.Complete

Navigating a world where beauty opens doors, Ava learns to sharpen her edges, turning herself into the woman men desire but never see coming. But as she rises higher, the stakes become deadlier. When you play with hearts and fortune, sometimes the only thing left to lose is yourself.
