battle countdown fight friends government hope love run safe school thesystem time watch

I was raised in a very interesting world. One where we know when we are Chosen. One where you know when you find your one and only. We all have watches implanted into our skin when we are born. This magical watch makes it so that we never get to date, unless you cheat the system. If you get seen by someone from the government, they take you away until your watch runs out of time. When your watch runs out of time, you've met your Match. Your one and only. The only one in the entire world that is made specifically for you. My name is Hope Dennis, and this is not your typical love story.All Rights Reserved

FALLING FOR HER ✓ by kou_holic

{Slowly Editing} People say love destroys friendship and one shouldn't fall in love with their best friend, unknown of the fact that if it works out you'll have your best friend as your life partner for the rest of the life ! 𝐀𝐃𝐈𝐓𝐘𝐀 𝐌𝐀𝐋𝐇𝐎𝐓𝐑𝐀 ; He's what you call a gentleman. He's sinfully handsome, ambitious, intelligent, smart and is blessed with everything a person aspires to have in his life. He respects and values everyone and is grateful for everything he has. He had never been in a serious relationship and doesn't even want to because the failed marriage of his sister broke all his belief in love until he started developing romantic feelings for his best friend. Will he acknowledge them or just ignore them ? 𝐒𝐖𝐀𝐓𝐈 𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐌𝐀 ; She's a living example of how to create a life for yourself. She's pretty, kind and beautiful inside out. She's strong and bold who lives for little moments. She treasures them and wants nothing but to spread happiness through her delicious delicacies. She has been all alone as far as she remembers but was never lonely as she has always found him by her side. She fell for him first and now the question is will he fall harder and if he does, will that workout or will they part ways breaking their friendship ? ~♡~ "Adi, just stop these things okay." She roared and pushed me a little. I was shocked. I have never seen her this raged. Her face got red and tears flowed from her eyes. "What do you think of yourself ? That you will just come and ask me to marry you and then initiate a passionate kiss, play with my feelings." She said while sobbing and my heart pained. "What do you want from me?" She again asked, weeping badly. "Just a chance." I mumbled to which she just stared at me and her chocolate brown eyes are captivating. 𝐼 𝑤𝑜𝑛'𝑡 ℎ𝑒𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑎𝑡𝑒 𝑡𝑜 𝑑𝑟𝑜𝑤𝑛 𝑚𝑦𝑠𝑒𝑙𝑓 𝑖𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑚 !

expired by bcruzy_02

Navigating teenage life is hard enough-- an older brother who doesn't have his life together, parents that never seem to be around the house, adventuring with the BEST friend in the world, meeting the cute boy who just moved in down the street --all while trying to be "normal." For Eva May, normality in this day to day life is anything but possible. Eva was born with a curse, or as the world would see it (if they even knew), a gift. Above the head of everyone she sees, she can see a countdown. A clock ticking down the years, days, hours, minutes, seconds until they die. As Eva interacts with people and sees people interact with each other, she can watch the rhythm of their clocks slow or quicken depending on what is going on. A day can turn sour when she sees a clock with only a few hours left, or can turn into a celebration when she slows or stops the ticking of someone's timer. In "expired," Eva meets Clay Walker, the typical boy next door who loves his dad, bikes, and adventures with no direction. As Eva gets to know Clay, she notices something is a bit off with his clock: the more she befriends him, the faster it goes. How can Eva try and help Clay, and what will happen as their relationship develops and his time starts ticking down? Find out in Brianna M. Cruz's teen romance novel, "expired."

Twisted Control by AriaFoxxx2

Some guys are smooth, unreadable-dangerous in a way that makes your pulse do things it shouldn't. But hey, who doesn't have a little emotional damage these days? Then the weird stuff starts. The calls. The messages. The undeniable feeling that someone's watching you. Totally normal, right? (Wrong.) Because when your psycho ex, slithers back into the picture, things go from maybe I need help to okay, I'm definitely about to get murdered. The worst part? You have no idea which man you should be running from.

Tangled Love by _myLovelymind

"You only live once." This is the overly used excuse that we use every time we make a decision and that's fine because it's true. This also goes with 'Love'. For once in our lives, we would eventually experience this love - the kind of love that just can't die. A love, though not being returned, we are still willing to take the risk. We expect that somehow, someday we will be rewarded. But how long can we give that love a chance? Are we really capable of giving so much without asking anything in return? Are we really capable of being happy, just seeing the person we love happy with someone else? How can we untangle something so twisted like LOVE? How can we survive without breaking? How can we live without hating? Brace yourself for it will be a long roller coaster ride to what we call 'HAPPINESS' - D A L E (myLovelymind) Cover by: @ShebaHanna 🎉

She knew something was going to happen and after it does she doesn't know what to do. She never meant to fall in love. She never wanted to hurt anyone else by falling in love. She knew it but didn't expect it to happen. Is true love strong enough to help her keep fighting? What is it that has April fighting? Is love enough to help her fight and stay alive? Is it enough to make her want to live and chase after her life?Will they find love in each other or will it be too late? Read to find out. By the way everything in this story is fictional. *It's still in the works and has not been revised and edited yet.

Smile by ThisIsAwkward19

Once upon a time... That's how all the fairytales begin, right? There's a girl who's mistreated and misunderstood. She meets a guy--probably the most popular guy in school (and hey, why not make him British while we're at it?). He's most likely very handsome and just as rich, and magically seems to understand her. It feels like they've known each other forever when in fact they've actually just met. It's love at first sight, the guy saves the girl from whatever misery she's in, they meet only two or three problems along the way, and then it's happily ever after. But this isn't a fairytale.
