#1 Romance | #1 Teen Fiction | #1 Young Adult | Watty Awards winner for 2012 Romance



Emma Ross is a hard-working, quiet girl who tries to stay off the radar. It's all going okay for her until she starts getting along with one of the 'It' boys. Having this happen, comes with drama and pain, is it all worth it? Or it is just best to stay out of it all? As Emma battles with the conflict, which will she choose? It might just be the best thing for her...

** I acknowledge that this story has a series of mistakes in it. I wrote this many years ago and did not take it seriously. It is a complete draft full of mistakes. I understand this may be frustrating when reading and I apologise. But I would rather focus on improving my writing now and focus on my new writing, rather than go over and edit this, when I already have edited the other version not on Wattpad. Sorry for any inconvenience. **

****A Wattpad Featured Novel**** • • • (Book one) Many of us, have read lots of books and watched lots of movies, about a boy who dumped his long termed girlfriend just cause he fell in love with a new character. The Right Girl. When we'd realized that he had fallen in love with the main character, we all became happy about the turn of events. Just cause we'd been shipping both of them for a very long time. No one wanted him to be with The Wrong Girl, cause she was either too perfect, had a nasty character or treated everyone like trash. We all enjoyed the boy and The Right Girl new found relationship, and totally forgot that he was in a different relationship not too long ago. No one thought about The Wrong Girl, or how her life would be like after the break up. No one thought if she'd actually get into a new relationship, or stayed single for the rest of her life. I was guilty as charged, until Alex my boyfriend, decided to kiss The Right Girl in front of our secondary school and left me The Wrong Girl, to be the laughing stock to the entire students of Blossom High. • • • Eno had been the most popular girl at Blossom High School. She was like every cliché popular girls you've read on books and watched on television. She had a nasty attitude, popular boyfriend and three popular besties. Every girl wanted to be her, and every guy wanted to be with her. But her all so perfect life changed when her boyfriend Alex, kissed the one girl he claimed not to have feelings for. Now, Eno have to walk round school being who she thought she would never be.....

Duskwood: Love's Beginning by AnastasiaBellerose

Even in the darkest moments, the beginnings of love can be found. Jayna Chacon is stuck in a rut. Her job is interesting, but she doesn't have any friends or anything else she's particularly passionate about. That is until a group of strangers starts texting her, asking her to help find their missing friend. Shortly after a faceless man reaches out and starts giving her orders. As time goes on, Jayna realizes she's risking her heart, her safety, and maybe even her life. Disclaimer: This original work of fanfiction is based on Everbyte Studio's mobile game, Duskwood. I do not claim ownership of Duskwood or its characters, nor do I claim that this story is part of the original. As this is a fanfic, I also will not earn any money from this work. There is more development of the main character than in the game so that readers who aren't familiar with Duskwood can still follow along. This storyline follows the main character and Jake (Jake X female MC). I've also added in a few characters of my own, just to give the story some more depth. As this is fanfic, there WILL be spoilers, so if you plan on playing the game or haven't finished it, I suggest you do so before reading this book! The chapters go from the MC's and Jake's point of view, so they don't follow the episodes in the game (i.e. there are more than 10 chapters to this book).

Forever Alone? by AMoodyPisces

Okay I know I might be over exaggerating but I'm seriously forever alone. I mean I'm 16 and I've never had my first kiss! Guys don't even look in my direction! I'm not the most popular girl in school but I'm not a complete nerd! And I mean I know I'm not the prettiest girl around but I don't look like medusa! I mean with my Sandy Blonde hair and Green eyes I'm at least average! I even dress up girly ever once in a while. It's not like I have some weird name. I mean Abby Chandler. I think it has a nice ring to it! I mean what could be scaring the guys away? I'm only 5'7. It's not like I'm towering over him. And at least I have some kind of Tan. I just wish one guy would see something in me. Just one guy.

Except he's running late, and all her meet-cute scenarios are turning sour. **** Emmaline has waited her whole life for this; well, the ten or so years she's been following SMASH and been infatuated with the lead singer, Leo Lee. But when he has to cancel the super expensive VIP experience Emma bought, his super cute, super sweet P.A., Cameron, has the bad luck of having to tell Emma. But that's okay, because Cameron is *fine*, and Emma wouldn't mind meeting with him, instead. And as it turns out, they're evenly matched and get on quite well. Maybe it was her destiny all along to never meet Leo... Until she does meet him, and he's everything she thought he would be, and more. And he suddenly needs help fixing a scandal he caused in the media. He needs a fake girlfriend to repair his reputation, pronto--and immediately thinks of Emma as the perfect option.

"No thank you Steele I'm good." I tell him and he's taken aback by my respond. "Why not?" He ask sounding a little upset. He looks like he's never been let down by a girl ever. I'm gonna do it the nicest way I possibly can. "Zac, let me break it down to you. Here's why not.... Firstly, I don't know you..... Secondly, I believe in first impressions.... Third, after my first impression of you, I don't like you... Now if you'd excuse me, my friend is about to put on a show, and I want to be there when it starts. I'll see you outside Zac." I say and smile really sweetly at him as I walk out. He stood there in shock. His expression was priceless. I mean, someone needed to do it. I don't feel bad at all. ****************************************** She's a super successful career orientated women who meets 2 amazing guys who sweeps her off her feet.
