#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. **

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.

The Bad Boy Saved My Life by uknown0004

#1 in the series || "Are you going to leave?" I asked, looking up into his eyes. "Never." He said, a tired smile spread across his face. "Don't make promises you can't keep." I said looking down, and I felt him tense up. "I don't break my promises." -Emma and Brody- (Highest rank in teen fic #98) (Highest rank in humor #31) I wrote this when I was a lot younger and inexperienced, if you're going to complain that it is cringe worthy, DO NOT READ!

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.

Now, I'm editing it, revising some of the names (as well as the scenes and most of the chapters) so it will fall under the category of young adult romance instead of fanfiction. The reason for doing this is for publication purposes in the future. Feel free to imagine the same characters from the original, or think of someone you liked.

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).
