"Go ahead," I said, backing up against the pink wall of the shop. "Do something other than glare at me."

I waited. One, two, three seconds... and nothing. 

I raised my chin at him. "You're boring me, mute boy."

He stepped closer. Leaned toward me as his gaze burned into mine. Then...  

❀ ❀ ❀

After three months in juvenile detention, it's time for Romy Pereira to help out with her family's flower shop. And it's not all bad... until they hire Jack Michel to work beside her. 

He doesn't speak, communicating with glares and scowls instead of words, and seems to be more interested in literal rocks than other human beings. And with an ex-convict mother, her friends drifting away, and the flower shop falling apart, the last thing Romy wants to deal with is Jack's attitude. 

She'll forever praise the day he screws up big time and gets himself fired, but until that day comes, it's mostly one cold-hearted girl, her silent (but still infuriating) coworker, and a whole lot flowers.

"A thank you would be nice, you know?", his hooded figure approached me with a smirk. "Never", I hissed. "But I saved your life", he kept coming closer. "You saved my life?!", I shrieked, "You freaking THREW ME OUT OF THE WINDOW!?" *** Superhero in disguise. That's who the eighteen-year-old Annie Kathryn Sweetheart is. Determined to uncover the man hiding under the infamous villain Damon, her senior year is thrown into a chaotic mess. While he was the one behind her mother's death, Damon was known to torture his victims until they lose consciousness and leave them with a purple lilac flower, or at least until the police or Lady Solain, the beloved heroine -- who is Annie -- find them. Damon is threatening her. Lady Solain is after him. None of them will stop until a throat is slaughtered. That's a lot of weight to hold up considering she's building a life, uncovering a well-hidden identity, and dealing with the new villain in town who's firing direct threats -- not only towards her and the citizens but towards Damon as well. There's a lot a woman could take, but alas break them or be broken. There's no in-between, or is there? ___________________________________ Impressive Rankings: #1 Teen Fantasy (3 - 2023) #1 Magic (7 - 2022) #1 Supernatural (7 - 2022) #1 Powers (12 - 2020) #2 Enemies to Lovers (12 - 2022) #2 Super Hero (7 - 2020) #6 Love (7 - 2022) #13 Criminal (6 - 2020) #14 Lady (12 - 2020) #15 Hero (5 - 2020) #19 Flowers (6 - 2022) #21 Teen Romance (5 - 2020) #29 Super Powers (7 - 2022) #32 Feelings (3 - 2022) ___________________________________ This is not edited, still ongoing.

I looked at him, and he was smiling, and his eyes were a little glossy. He took my hand and kissed it, a small tear caught in the corner of his beautiful eyes. "I thought, hey, maybe life isn't so bad after all. Maybe I can finally allow myself to love and be loved, and to live life normally. When we went to your party, you told me to wait for you.

Tutoring the Bad Boy. ~~ He smirked. "Whoops! Look who has read 50 Shades of Grey. Trust me getting kinky is almost every guys dream. I knew you had hidden desires! All the shy ones do." I blushed a little. "No! I don't have any hidden desires." The image of me and Bryan on a bed, with no clothes and handcuffs and ties entering my head. I shook my head vigorously. Hell no! That ain't happening in another millennium. Instantly trying to change the topic, I glanced at my bucket list and then at him. "What are you teaching me?" I asked, fear already gripping me like ivy. He smirked evilly. "How to be a badass." ~~ Once in a while, in the middle of life, love gives us a fairytale. And some fairytale love stories are completely unexpected and thus more memorable. No one expected the class president and the leader of Trouble Triggers to even talk about anything but notes and pencils. But then fate's a bitch and loves to meddle! Their life changes drastically when the good girl- Joanna Williams has to tutor the bad boy- Bryan Cooper. Along with the tutoring comes constant fun, too much bickering, lame jokes, scary sarcasm, idiotic friends, too many unknown emotions, jungles in tummy, bucket lists, unheard secrets and haunting pasts. Maybe some fairytales don't have a happy ending... or do they? (A/N: Contains a lot of 'F' words and grammatical mistakes. Don't say you weren't warned.)
