Meet Kyle Fisher. If only destinies weren't meant to be, and we could've lived in peace. But unfortunately, we're stuck with him. The observer of our story. 

Kyle is also the greatest outlaw of Springfield High. The school that's still shaken by the newest drug scandal in town. Nobody in the school actively hates him though, but neither do they care-- because, let's face it, nobody likes a guy with a knack for old-fashioned things. 

Not that great to be called a winner, is he? 

Enter Lily Wright. 

Lily is your regular girl-with-a-plan. But plans never work, as we know it. The wrecker in Lily's case is her own Dad. For how many times have you met a father who runs a drug scandal in a high school? 

But when Lily's father is killed in an police encounter, Lily has nothing left to lose. Her mom's suicidal, the whole school mocks her, and of course, the scandal is hovering like a raincloud on her head, showering cold, bitter, withering acidic rain. 

Everything's awful. Lily has no place to go. She's like a falling star-- meant to sacrifice herself for the wishes of others. Until one day, she finds a note in the unlikeliest of places, prompting her to be the moon. 

A tale that enchants you into believing love recognizes no barriers.

Read on to find out.

I yelled as he got out of the car. "No! Our ending is nothing like those movies Vana. Our story is the both of us risking it all and then ending up right next to Kyle." He said and sighed. And he was right. Our ending is that one fucked up movie that no on wants to go see. "SO YOU AREN'T WILLING TO RISK IT ALL!?! I yelled louder as the rain came pouring down. He turned on his heal and stomped twords me pulling me close to him leaveing no space between us. His lips came crashing down on mine making the butterflies in my stomach errupt with pleaseure. He pulled away and sighed as did I. He grabbed my hand and ran his thumb over the knuckle of my thumb over my tattoo thanks to his stupid game of dare or dare. "Look at the perspective of things Vana. You might see a smily face but I don't. I see a sad face. You don't want my happy ending. Trust me." He said and sighed again. "I love you so much Vana." He said and kissed the top of my head and then walked back over to his house. But he didn't really love me. If he did he would be willing to risk it all just like I am. But I am left just like Kyle had suspected. Alone and heart broken in the rain. Because I was always the one willing to risk it all. For him.

Melody's Crush by AloraDillon

Aren't one sided crushes fun? NOT! 18 year old Melody Jenkins has spent the last 3 years of high school crushing on one guy, Jake Kensington, who sees her as no more than a sister from another mister and best friend. Not wanting to risk their friendship, Melody has kept her crush a secret and her emotions in check whenever she's around him... which is daily since they live on the same property. It's her senior year and she has made it through the past three years of high school with little social psychological trauma. That's excellent considering she goes to a school in Los Angeles where the majority of the bored students graduating will have executive paying jobs the moment they walk across stage. If all goes well, she will graduate as the valedictorian with multiple offers from colleges on the East Coast, far away from California. But when the health teacher announces a "special" project that requires students to be paired and live under the same roof for one week, Melody's world gets completely turned upside down. She is forced to spend time with someone totally opposite of her and frankly, she can't stand... or so she thought. One night of catching a glimpse of the softer side of Kyle Warner, the school's most popular and arrogant quarterback, has her heart pounding and her stomach doing flip-flops. But when Melody shows an ounce of affection toward Kyle, Jake discovers feelings of his own as he tries to protect his best friend from the guy he knows Kyle can be. As the project comes to an end, Melody goes to homecoming... will it be a night to remember, forget or both? Be advised, this contemporary Teen / Young Adult Romance story has some strong language and strong sexual connotation.
