California Stories

Callie Mae Jefferson; born and raised in Kokomo, Indiana. Until one day her family locks up and moves up to Gary. She ends up becoming the one and only childhood best friend of the one and only Michael Jackson. To the world, he was the King of Pop. He was the most famous man in the world. But to Callie, he was just Michael. He was the boy she grew up down the street from. The only girl whose family was allowed over for dinner, the only girl who captured his heart as they grew up. To Michael, she was the light in his life that motivated him to keep doing one thing. Live. As they grow up, the Jackson family moves to LA to work with Motown, but Michael and Callie always kept in touch. Until one day, she moved to California to see what the world had to offer. Will she be able to compete with the fame that follows Michael wherever he goes? Will she be able to fit right in? Or will it come crashing down on them both, and rip them apart forever, ripping them away from a most special and almost spiritual bond? In an alternate universe where the King of Pop had a long time love. A love he needed. A love he deserved. In this world, she is the muse of some of his most iconic songs, but also she is the one who keeps him grounded. Keeps him happy. Keeps him alive. In this world, no one would ever know what it's like to not have Michael Jackson living in it.

"We come from two different worlds but, there's only one us; that can make things easier." Naomi-Jade had been dealt the terrible hand of growing up too early.

Lavender Quinn has always struggled with her mental health but somehow managed to always stay at the top of her class... until her senior year. Everyday seems like something new to her, how much more stress could she possibly take? She can't stand her academic rival, Elijah Rivera. She's had about enough of him and in somehow someway this year just keeps bringing them closer together. Group projects, field trips, Paris, debate tournaments, what else? She notices what's going on between them but she can't let him in, she refuses. How can she love him if she doesn't even love herself? She doesn't want to burden him with all her "issues." She has enough going on for crying out loud. ...But what if Elijah convinces her to try? *** Lavender brings her hands down my chest, lightly tracing over the fabric of my shirt. She opens her mouth but hesitates for a moment. "I like how you make me feel safe with you." I don't expect that coming out of her mouth and I actually stop my ministrations to look at her. "Safe?" She nods. "Yes, safe. I think I understand that you'd never purposely hurt me." I let my eyes roam her face, admiring her features closely. "Never. Not in this lifetime. Not in any lifetime." Her hand touches my cheek and she nods just barely. "You don't make me feel like I have to watch my back." I smile softly and lean into her touch. "Good, because I'm not going anywhere." Her smile fades. "Don't say that if you don't mean it." My fingers play with her hair. "I do mean it. Lavender, I will be by your side for as long as you will let me. And even if you don't, I will still be there from afar, waiting for when you do." *** ~ To everyone who feels like they're not deserving of love. started november 10th, 2022 ended ??? *** RANKINGS: 9/21/24 • #2 IN FRENEMIES 3/27/25 • #3 IN LAVENDER 7/07/26 • #2 IN TEENROMANCE

Side note: never fall for your fake boyfriend. When my best friend convinced me to write a love letter to my crush, I didn't expect it to all go south. Because instead of the most realistic scenario-him reading the letter and rejecting me privately-the last thing I'd ever expected to happen did. The letter doesn't end up in his locker. But in the locker of one of the most popular football players in the senior class, Ian Bale. Who also just happens to be my crush's older brother. Luckily, he promises to keep it a secret. But our actions start spreading rumors about us and in the next minute, I'm thrown into a fake relationship. But it works out for the both of us. Ian saves me from potential embarrassment while I help get his friends off his back about his dating life (or lack thereof). However, as the month progresses, I find myself enjoying more and more of his company. From his cheesy pick-up lines to his sense of wonder and even his nerdy glasses. My priorities begin to shift and I can't help but be a little terrified of the prospect of trusting another guy again. But I think I can make an exception. For fans of Jenny Han, Cookie O'Gorman, and happily ever afters with a sprinkling of real world problems, get ready to dive into the first installment of this beachside romance.

Riley and three of her friends got maybe a little crazy idea - to form a band, just for a fun, but maybe not just for that. Dreams of a future. Their band didn't get many reactions in the beggining until one girl asked them to perform at a school event in which they later participated. That changed their situation a bit as other students started to pay them more attention. However, that wasn't always the good one. As everyone this age, they all get through many kinds of relationships-friendships, getting boyfriends or girlfriends... however, there are also self discoveries.

Vista Del Halcon was supposed to be a quiet city. Riverside County high schools weren't supposed to become crime scenes. When fifteen-year-old Noah Solis is found brutally attacked and thrown from a second-story window behind the school's abandoned 500 building, the student body fractures. For Kasey Ramirez, it was supposed to be a normal Friday afternoon, just an annoying ten-minute wait for a friend who flaked. Instead, she stumbles directly into a nightmare, becoming the prime suspect in a crime she didn't commit. As rumor mills churn and teenage alibis twist over text messages, the case lands in the laps of the Vista Del Halcon Police Department. Led by a stoic veteran, a world-class forensics investigator with zero patience for drama, and a sharp, cynical tech specialist tracking the victim's digital footprint, the detectives begin to peel back the layers of the high school's social hierarchy. But high school secrets are currency, and everyone is lying to cover their own tracks. To catch the real culprit, the detectives must untangle a messy web of hidden rivalries, quiet betrayals, and anonymous tips before the truth gets buried for good.

🌊 Fourteen years spent swimming the times her mother never got to swim. A guitar nobody knows she has. A secret that isn't even the biggest one in the house. Sage Calloway swims every sunrise under her mother's eyes - a former athlete who gave up her own comeback to raise her, and who only knows how to say "I love you" through a stopwatch. What her mother doesn't know is that at night, headphones on, Sage writes songs. It's the one part of herself that never makes it into a notebook. Then an anonymous account starts threatening to expose everything - the hidden music, a dangerous friendship, a shoulder quietly falling apart - and Sage is faced with the same choice she's watched her mother make her whole life: keep everything locked away, or open up and risk losing control of the only life she knows. But the heaviest secret in that house was never hers. It's the one her mother has kept for sixteen years, in a box, in the attic. A story about first love, first goodbyes, inherited ambition, and how much the things we hide in the dark can weigh - for readers who grew up on Jenny Han and Sarah Dessen, with a heart that beats just as hard for a mother as it does for a boy. 🌊 Updating regularly.

Or at least that's what Emma thought up until meeting Bobby-a boy she never expected to meet, let alone fall for. But you know what they say-the heart wants what it wants, and sometimes that involves challenging everything you thought you knew about the world, especially when Emma believes that her world should be golden. She's got goals-Grammy winning kind of goals, that don't involve the kind of complications Bobby brings. And falling for Bobby was never part of the plan. Emma's weekends at her cousins' neighborhood was supposed to be carefree and simple. Not lying to sneak off elsewhere. What starts as something unexpected quickly becomes something she can't ignore... even when the secret slips. Because when feelings get involved, so do opinions, expectations, and the people who aren't afraid to make theirs known. Suddenly, growing up isn't as simple as it seems... especially when you're fifteen. « 𝑰 𝒔𝒏𝒖𝒄𝒌 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒈𝒂𝒓𝒅𝒆𝒏 𝒈𝒂𝒕𝒆 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚 𝒏𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒔𝒖𝒎𝒎𝒆𝒓 𝒋𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒔𝒆𝒂𝒍 𝒎𝒚 𝒇𝒂𝒕𝒆.
