Journey down memory lane with Jade Sky - a regular girl with long black hair that reached the small of her back which she tousled it out of habit, eyes that made her seem unfriendly when her face was stripped of any emotion, and ears that stuck out when her hair was all tied up. She was endearingly eccentric when she was with her friends and yet so conscious of how people saw her. 

She had people who loved her and some who hated her. She made small mistakes and learned from them like anyone would. She was the girl her friends ran to when they had problems and she was the shoulder to cry on for anyone. She didn't complain about it because truth be told, she enjoyed being the one looked for for help. She loved feeling needed and people never really minded. All in all, she was a good and normal person.

But that all changed when she met Jace... 

Jade was pushed into an emotional roller coaster that she couldn't get out of -  one you'd call a relationship. And the worst part was, she sat through the whole thing with the devil himself, Jace Hunter, and didn't even know it.All Rights Reserved

My Alpha Mate by jessicababy143

"I now pronounce you husband and wife," Said His Father Smiling. I sat and wept in The back of the whole congregation. I watched as they leaned forward to kiss each other. It wasn't over yet. "Now for your final words to the congregation? " His father asked. Jace scoped the crowd until his eyes landed on me. He had a devilish grin plastered on his face. I knew what was coming next. "I Jace Hunter, REJECT my mate Jade Smith," He said without hesitation. I felt a disconnection. I began to beg the fates to stop him from doing this, but they even cheered for the two. He picked her up off Her feet and walked towards the doors. I could feel my heart racing, then slowing down rapidly. I couldn't breathe. Everyone was cheering for the two, then they all looked at me and laughed. Like I was just a joke like I was nothing but a fool. I don't know why I showed up. I stood up to leave and I felt sick to my stomach, and like I was slowly dying. I fell to the floor and I cried and cried. Everything was happening so fast. I knew he was in bed with her already, I could feel it, but I felt the opposite of what people described as the opposite sensational feeling. I felt pain, with every stroke. I felt like my insides were being torn out of my body. I lied there, in immense pain as everyone laughed. Their laughter was growing louder and louder. I didn't think it could get any worse than this. Then he mated her.. I could feel my world slowly crashing as my hips went ablaze and my insides felt like they were on fire. This is what hell feels like. It was supposed to be me! Not her, but she won. She got exactly what she wanted...

When Skies Align by Jasmine_Blossom143

She scowls. He smiles. She glowers. He laughs. She's cold. He's open. She hides with hate. He hides with jokes. Polar opposites. That doesn't stop them from loving each other. People say that some stars shine brighter than others. Leo Caldas knew that quote by heart. Being in a family of nine was hard. And he was the youngest. You would think, "Wow, the youngest? Lucky!" No. NOT lucky. Leo hated being the youngest. Not only was he bullied by his older siblings, he was shoved around like the middle child. His parents forgot he existed. They looked at him like, "Oh. He's still here." The worst part? They were divorced. Which meant he was always tossed around back and forth to each guardian, just waiting to be loved! His other siblings- might he add were ALWAYS given attention- had found their home. Some of his siblings stayed with his mother. And the rest stayed with his father. Both permanent. And Leo? He appreciates the concern. He went from place to place. He just couldn't find his home. What did he do to cope? He smiled. Instead of moping and sulking and doing what everyone else would have done, Leo Caldas smiled through it. It was all he knew how to do. "Pain is the best teacher". Jade Skai hated that quote with all her heart. Partly, because it was true. Pain was the best teacher. Fear coming in halfway. What was worse? When pain decided to side with fear and work together. She had felt both. Multiple times. And the feeling sucked. Jade was not your normal happy sunshiny girl. No. She was cold, having a snappy tongue and a heartless nature. That was her father's fault. Her mother had died when Jade was born. And it tore her father apart. He now sat at home. Drinking alcohol anytime she saw him. To add to the trauma, her father also beat her. Almost every night. For years since she turned ten. She was a very troubled girl. It wasn't her fault.

Setting Ourselves Up by maddiewritesbabe

"Fuck you, Springs" - he spats "In your dreams, Henderson" "How'd you know?" - he replies, with a smirk on his face. Jade Springs only had one goal in her life and that was to make it till 20. See,Jade wasn't really a very happy person. She was quite the opposite. Well if you can call an quiet, socially awkward, no friends and shit grades person happy. And not to mention the fact that her only happiness is reading books and making playlists about them. James Henderson is the opposite of Jade. He is a very out going person, who would do anything to see his friends happy even if that means that him, himself wouldn't be. Some people think that that's a weakness but James sees it as a very good quality. Of course his biggest rival Jade doesn't think so. Anytime they have an assignment together she would always call him out on that, while James would call her out on her no socialism and her shitty eye bags. What he would not tell her is that he kinda finds them attractive. Very attractive. Jade and James are fine with never talking to each other but there is one tiny problem. They both have the same two mutual friends. Avery and Xander. That and the fact that their families are really close. Like really close. When they were kids James's family would come over all the time. But that's not what we're here to talk about. We're here to talk about Avery and Xander, well for now. Avery and Xander are absolutely crushing crazy with each other. Of course everyone else sees it but them. Their misscommunication is driving both Jade and James crazy. One day when they're seated together for an assignment they both can't take it anymore and come up with a plan to get their idiots together. Well more likely a deal. Which one will be able to get Avery or Xander to confess first wins. But what they don't realise is that they are actually setting themselves up. *perfect for "better than the movies" lovers! *

I Will Love You Forever ✔️ by jkwnws

Completed "What the hell do you think you're doing?" I asked, glaring at him while he forcefully dragged me out of class. "You told me you need help, and here I am!" Blake yelled. "Where did that come from?! What are you even talking about?!" I screamed at him. "I know you talked to Ryder about your situation. " My eyes widen and I yanked my hands out from his grasp. "I hate you..." I growled and starting to turn around to walk back to class. " You don't mean that... I love you, goddamn it! " He shouted that loud that the students around us stopped what they're doing and looked at us. I stopped walking. Before I can make a move to turn around, he beat me to it and slammed his soft pink lips against mine. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Meet Jade Williams, typical fat, nerd, and loner you will meet in the school, but she's not how you depict it.

All the girls drool over him, but he didn't give a shit about them. He was mysterious, he was one of the 5 Musketeers with Jason, William, Ryder, and Andy. What happens when the nerd met the school's bad boy just because of the biology pop quiz and they became friends? and soon lovers? When both of them get to know each other, their hearts slowly ache, but why? Will they heal? Or is it only one of them? Read it to find out more * Sort of a cliche story * WARNING: STRONG LANGUAGE
