If you had asked Emma Watson ten years ago what her life would be like at twenty-four, chances are her answer would not have included the words "single", "living at home", or "boring job". Meet twenty-four-year-old Emma Watson who is back home for the summer, recently graduated from Harvard with a B.A. in English Lit. Perfect, except her life is nothing like what she expected it to be. And just when she thought things couldn't get more depressing, there's her crazy family to deal with and her friends from high school who are just as lost with their lives as she is with hers... this is the summer Emma will discover herself with a little help from Gandhi and a young man who may, or may not, be boyfriend material.All Rights Reserved

Perfect by akslate

*****In the past four years of high school there hasn't been a thing that I havent competed for with Dean Purvis, my best friend. Ninety nine point nine percent of the time, there wasn't a thing that I would compete for and not win. Just like my freshman year at Saint Mary's Academy, Dean and I both tried out for the one spot left on the basketball team and I did everything I could to beat him. Then, there were our grades. We both competed for Valedictorian and once again, I beat him by one little point at that as well. We both applied to Harvard University, he got shot down but I got accepted and then felt guilty about not accepting the scholarship that he so badly wanted. But, that is beside the point. The point is, I never let Dean beat me in anything accept one thing. The one thing he actually beat me in getting, is the only thing I ever really wanted. Emma Lancaster. ***** Emma and Beau have been best friends for the longest time. Though Emma always really felt more for him than he did with her, but Beau never could see past playing with womens hearts to really notice that he felt the same way about her. So what happens after graduation when Emma accepts Dean Purvis's proposal and Beau realizes that he is the one that is supposed to be with her? Will Emma play it safe with her perfect life? Or will she risk it all for the first boy she ever really loved? *Spin off between Emma and Beau from the books Running on the Beach at Night & Between Love & Deception*

Virgin Lips by TheWritingWolf1

Joanna Brooks had her life all planned. She'd have graduated in time, got a great job, had a successful career. In the middle there would have been a relationship or two maybe, but by the age of 25, she'd have been happily in a stable relationship, working for a well known newspaper as journalist. She'd have never guessed, when she was 12, that none of these plans would work out. 28 years old, stuck with a crappy job and no love life whatsoever. Future seemed as bleakas ever. With two new kittens, Joanna was readying herself to start her life as crazy cat lady...but her new neighbor, handsome and lovely photographer Ben Harris, doesn't seem to think it that way, as he gets ready to revolutionize her whole existence. Trouble is, his own life is not as crystal clear as he pretends it is. Add two pervasive friends determined to close the chapter in Joanna's life called "virginity" by hooking her up with their cute brother, plus an unsettling return, and you get Joanna's adventure of a lifetime. DISCLAIMER This story is intended for all those girls that have troubles seeing themselves as the beautiful beings they are. This is for you, beautiful girls. Be yourself. Don't be ashamed of you are. Just embrace your own unique nature. Be chubby, skinny, shy, introvert, extrovert, weird, crazy, lovely...whatever it is, just BE YOURSELF.

More Than Once | THE WATTPAD DRAFT by DomWolf_

Nick Next Door by SweetToday

Meet Emma Ellerbee and her best friend Roo Bailey. Together, they share a love of anything chocolate, retro 90's music, and 15-year-old hottie, Nick Rangioni. From tent-hopping on Friday nights (backyard camping parties called "The Tents"), to the annual block party ("Affair on the Square"), neighborhood traditions spark more than bonfires and star-gazing. It's a funny breeding ground for awkward crushes, proving that life doesn't always work out the way we want it to...and that true friendship is often the sweetest gift. ********** From one ridiculously bad decision after another, 14-year-old Emma Ellerbee tries to navigate her hormones, parties, hot neighbors across the street, a pesky 10-year-old, 4 older brothers, and her best friend. Has Emma met her match with the Rangioni crew? Plus, how many cupcakes can one girl eat?? Will Roo eventually forgive Emma for that one little (gigantic) mistake? And can Emma finally forgive herself? ********** [Excerpt from Nick Next Door, Novel is PG rated] [Light & Fun, Easy Read] I'm still fuming when I make it back to my house, but the sight of my mom and Roo baking, and the delicious smell of sugar, instantly lifts my mood. "Ray of Light" by Madonna is streaming in the kitchen. "How did it go?" Roo asks. "Exactly as I expected." "That bad?" "Like if the Titanic was also hit by a meteor." "Want to talk about it?" "Never again." "Thanks, honey," my mom interjects. "For going over there. I really appreciate it - still feel like baking?" "Yeah, I'm in." I grab a whisk and a bowl, along with some eggs. It's time to bake. **********

Forget Me Not | ✔ by -Octothorpe-

"Bro, when are you coming to visit me? I'm so bored." "Oh, am I supposed to visit you? Do we know eachother?" "Do we not?" "Do we?" "Uh." ___________ Avi was in college gym when he got a random message from an unknown number, leaving him wonder about the life of the person behind the screen. Vrishti was stuck up in a situation that left her bored to her wits' end. She tried to connect with her best friend who moved across the country for her college only to mess up her new number. A mistake was all it took for Avi Rathore, the college heartthrob to end up being virtual best friends with Vrishti Singhal, the girl who was a college background (and a total video game freak). But was it just friendship that they had between them? Maybe something else was brewing that was not coffee. Maybe something unforgettable.

"Not a typical High School romance because life isn't cliché." Trisha was a fifteen year old, studious girl but this didn't make her a sincere one. She had real social issues, it was difficult for her to even begin a conversation, this didn't mean that she didn't want to talk to anyone, she just couldn't. Surrounded by acquaintances, she had no real friends. Her crush, Jai, didn't even know that she existed! Trisha's life is surely going to turn around in a single year. By the end of it, she'll have friends, people who she can trust, confidence, love, an understanding of the world. But most importantly, she'll realise that you don't need to be popular to be happy. A low profile at high school is much like it. This wouldn't have been possible without a journey worth sharing and worth knowing, the journey of Trisha. Because, we don't just change unharmed. We have to get hurt before we can repair ourselves, and that's how we get better. Higest Ranking #164 in Teen Fiction (May 24th, 2018)

Violet's Delight by lyazar

"Well then. That's the first time a girl has ever rejected my close proximity," he said, eyes ablaze with a playful fire. "You better get used to it," I retorted as I spun on my heel and headed for the school doors that led to the outside. "I've never met anyone like you before," he called after me, this time, not coming after me. "I know, Romeo. I'm a special little snowflake," I called back, not turning around. "You got the 'little' part right there, Princess!" he shouted after me. I threw up my middle finger back to him and heard him laugh as I exited out the doors rather dramatically. ... I'm tired of all those high school stories about a straight-A girl student with the perfect life who falls for the stereotypical Mr. Bad Boy who wears leather black jackets and only has a soft spot for her. That's not how the real world works, sweetheart. I may look like a damsel, but I'm never in distress. ... Not me making fun of the "she's not like every other girl" trope <3 o.o :)) I like to think I'm funny. After all: #3 in amusement 10/22/22 #1 in banter 10/31/22 #3 in friendship 11/7/22
