After a devastating accident takes Jess's parents, a cold and controlling uncle is the only family she has left. Ripping away everything she's ever known, he takes her far from her home in the big city to live on the rural family estate.  With a spoiled and stuck up older cousin the only other young person in the home, Jess struggles to adjust to her new life of loneliness and quiet isolation.  
  
While exploring the woods surrounding her home one day, she stumbles upon a mysterious boy.  Desperate for a friend, she's instantly drawn to him, but he's deeply distrustful and wants nothing to do with her.  Sneaking away to see him, she works hard to break through his walls and slowly gains his trust.  
  
As time passes, their bond grows from forbidden friendship into something more, but the threat they'll be caught looms closer.  How far will Jess have to go to protect the boy she's fallen in love with?  Or will her uncle find out about them before she can escape his control?

Superior by starlightt

Delaney Escott lives in a world where popularity reigns supreme. If you want to be noticed, social status is everything. The government is run by the Superiors: a very exclusive group of individuals who are virtually flawless. They are smarter than us and stronger than us, and to join their ranks is the highest honor. The Superiors pay an annual visit to the top schools in the nation and evaluate the students, choosing one boy and one girl - the most Popular in the school - to go the Capitol and train for Superiority. Delaney thinks that she's the only one indifferent to (and perhaps even suspicious of) the Superiors, until Caleb Payne, the most popular boy in school, approaches her with a request. He has a task for her, one that he believes she is uniquely capable of completing. And as she helps him, Delaney discovers that the government is hiding many secrets - and that the truth of the Superiors is far from what people believe it to be.

And what happens when he finds himself longing for her? Cressida goes to a completely different place, one she has only heard in stories and read in books, with hopes of finding what her heart has always longed for. But love, mystery and secrets will chase her and it will only be a matter of time before she realizes what her heart truly desires. *This story is a standalone title in the Haverston Family series.

Sorry! It Was A Dare | ✓ by tr_trin

Heart pounding against my chest, I watched the spinning bottle slowing coming to a halt. I prayed for it to not stop at me but much to my annoyance, the tip of the empty wine bottle stopped facing me. " I dare you to punch the first person you see after you step out of this house...! ", Nathan told me the dare and I let out a sigh of defeat. " Fine. Let's get this done. ", I said before walking out the door. At first I couldn't see anyone on the road and I was relieved. That's untill I heard footsteps. I peeked out further to check who the unlucky person was and it turned out to be Sam. Samuel Calvert! Our School Valedictorian and my secret crush since sophomore year. --- Sam pinned me against the wall as his face closed into mine. My heart racing at an unbelievable speed. " You are the one who punched me that night!? I can't believe this! ", he asked as his teeth gritted against each other. " Sorry... it was a dare. " --- (I wrote this when I was 15, please excuse the cringe...)
