The Queen of Nothing (gxg) by sup3r_n0va_

"Why was I disappointed whenever she moved her hand away from me, when I parted ways with her at the end of the day? Why were her sweater vests and split ends becoming less and less pitiful and more endearing? And why did I want to kiss her right then?" .⋅˚₊‧ 🜲 ‧₊˚ ⋅ Vivian Bennett used to be the Queen of Kindness on TikTok. She was adored by millions of fans who all appreciated her upbeat advice and picture-perfect life. Simultaneously, she was the Queen Bee of her high school.

Suddenly, her reputation is in ruins, her followers are gone, and her classmates despise her, leaving her at rock bottom. Alone. The only person willing to see past Vivian's mistakes is Casey Reed, a classmate who Vivian thought was utterly forgettable. Casey brings Vivian into her friend group, which consists of people who...aren't exactly like Vivian's old friends. As Casey helps Vivian learn to be less selfish, Vivian somehow finds herself falling for Casey despite her numerous dorky sweater vests. Will Vivian truly be able to change her mean girl ways? Or will she risk losing the one person who has shown her what real friendship (and love) looks like in exchange for fame?

Crestfallen by tashapea

"I'm so sorry, Casey," he said, pleading for my forgiveness. I'd been avoiding his intense gaze for the entirety of the conversation, but I looked into his eyes as I said: "I just want to know; why me?" ---------- Casey Hall is a simple girl, leading a complicated life and it only gets worse when she encounters Jeremy Storm and his elite group of friends. Each attractive, athletic, and... well, attractive, it's impossible for Casey to keep their lives separate. Once Casey learns that the driving factor for their friendship was a childish bet she finds herself incredibly hurt, but is it enough to pull her away from the one she loves? **probably not the ending you're expecting- If you want some sappy optimism you should find another book**

The End Is Only the Beginning by HopefullyPerfect

"So this is it then," Aaron Knowles spoke softly, "this is where it ends." He didn't even respond. Instead Caleb Jefferson rushed towards him, wrapping his arms tightly around Aaron's middle. The month they had spent together had felt like a lifetime, and now it was being ripped away from them. "I'm gonna miss you," Caleb whispered, his breath lingering on Aaron's neck. Aaron nodded, his hand resting in Caleb's shaggy, blond hair. "Me too," he answered, his voice coming out just as soft. "Thank you for a great summer," Caleb tried his hardest to smile, blinking away any tears that threatened to fall. And in that moment the world seemed to pause. Aaron took a step forward, placing a hand under Caleb's chin before moving in closer. Their lips connected for what should have been the final time. - They were never supposed to fall in love, or see each other again. Caleb arrived for his first day at a new high school, and he'd only been there for a second when he saw the familiar sight of ash brown hair ... with his lips pressed to another's. It was only supposed to be a summer fling, yet summer had ended and they were both still there. A story told including flashbacks and drama, Caleb attempts to find his way back to Aaron. But things aren't as easy now that summer is over.

Baby boy ✔️ by alibramoon

"I'm like old enough to be your mum." I say to Jakob not even bothering to hide away how amusing I am finding the idea. "You're only ten months older than me." Jakob shoots back a hint of defence in his tone. Was he offended? "Still." I laugh out. "You could be my baby boy." I smirk sending Jakob a wink. - THIS IS NOT A SEX STORY!!!!! The characters are teenagers! (A/n so the main character starts off as a pretty bad person which is needed because this story is about PERSONALITY GROWTH so if you don't like reading that type of stuff then please don't read this book. It is only for the first 5 chapters and I'm not justifying her actions. She is a b***h) Highest ranking: #2 youngadult #2 teenromance #10 romance Started October 2018 Finished July 2019
