Some things are just too irresistible. ☆★☆★☆★☆★ Alessandra Gallo - A firey, passionate Yale student and aspiring lawyer. Dating a rich asshole (Josh Arison) is getting her nowhere, and when she finds out about what Josh has been doing behind the scenes, she starts hanging out with a teammate of his to make him angry - and because she, as much as she hates to admit it, enjoys his company. Luca Marino - An annoying Yale student who is on the basketball team and professional shit talker. When he's introduced to Alessandra, he can't stay away for long. Under the guise of pretending to get close with Alessandra to make Josh angry, when the two unexpectedly break up, he ends up falling himself. Both are complete and total idiots, and both deny and deny their attraction due to their overall annoyance with each other. But they can't deny the spark between them for long. ☆★☆★☆★☆★ "Tell me how you want it, princess. Fast or slow. Tell me how you need me." he says, his voice a husky whisper. "I don't fucking care." I whisper back, my voice needy to even my own ears. "Just get inside me, Luke." His classic grin spreads across his stupid face, a grin I plan on wiping off very soon. But not now. Now, he is in control, damn him. He leans in closer, pressing a kiss to my jaw before whispering against my skin.

Saving Everest (Wattpad Books Edition) by rainreadyinc

WATTPAD BOOKS EDITION Everest is the most popular boy in school. He's handsome, wealthy, and captain of the football team-he has the world at his fingertips, but he's desperately unhappy. And when those feelings become too much to bear, he tries to take his own life. On the surface, Beverly's different from Everest in every possible way. She's quiet, shy, hard working, and keeps to herself on campus, focusing on her schoolwork and her part-time job, distracting herself from her less-than-perfect upbringing. When Everest returns to school after his attempt, he's in more pain than ever. Discarded by his friends, he draws little empathy and too much attention from those who surround him. But when Beverly and Everest meet unexpectedly in a dusty corner of the old library, they discover together just how rich life can be when given the freedom to just be yourself.

I walk out my dorm building to the cafe. Just as I'm about to open the door I hear a person call out my name. I turn around to see the person jogging towards me. Hey that person kind of looks like Jase. Wait a minute... That is Jase. "Jase?!" I ask. "What the hell is wrong with you? Why would you just leave and not tell anyone?! And do you honestly think I wouldn't follow you?" Jase says. I don't answer I just stand there like an idiot with wide eyes and an open mouth. Shock takes over my body and I begin to feel sick.

Knife's Edge by moxie_writes

With a drug lord for a father and an addict for a mother, Jade Taylor was dealt a pretty shabby hand in life. Her childhood was spent in a constant state of fear, her only solace being her two half-sisters -- Charlotte and Bailey -- who were forced to live the nightmare alongside her. But things all changed when their father got sent to prison. Eight new social workers and five foster families later, the girls finally found their home. Now, at eighteen, Jade is counting down the days until her exams are over, excited to spend a stress-free summer with her boyfriend, her two best friends, and her forever family. Unfortunately, things don't always go to plan -- not in a town like Greencliff. Upon meeting the Coleman brothers -- a family that fits so well into the 'gang' culture she so desperately wants to avoid -- Jade finds herself teetering on the edge of a blade, carefully balanced between the life she wants and the life she wants to escape. And when she catches the eye of Lucas Coleman, the eldest of the brothers, it's only a matter of time before she falls. Only one question remains: Which way will she land?
