Keily

by Manjari

Her: The fat girl nervously starting her senior year at a new school.

Him: The brooding football jock who takes the seat next to her.

“What are you looking at, Piggy?”

The Drake Twins

The Drake Twins

by Rowan Cody

They used to make her life miserable—every taunt, every smirk, every stolen moment meant to break her down. But growing up didn’t erase the magnetic pull she’s always felt toward the Drake twins. Now, seven years later, they’re back in her world—older, darker, and twice as tempting. Their arrogance is still there, but so is something new flickering behind those wicked eyes. Desire. Challenge. A dangerous game she swore she’d never play again. She tells herself she should walk away, but the truth is she’s never been good at resisting them—or the delicious kind of chaos they bring.

The Arrangement

When a scandal forces him into an arranged marriage with Angela Carson, a penniless nobody, he assumes she’s a gold digger—and vows to punish her for it. But appearances are deceiving, and sometimes polar opposites aren’t as different as they seem…

Unfortunate Friends 1: My Best Frenemy

by Ruth Robinson

I hated AJ McGabe.

He was my school’s quarterback, and the other girls treated him like Adonis reborn.

Ngl, he was hot as fuck. But he despised me, and the feeling was so mutual.

The only bright spot for Senior year was that my best friend, Jake, was starting at my school.

And it turned out he already had a friend from football camp here. This guy, Andy.

Jake said the three of us would be spending a lot of time together this semester.

But on the first day of school, I got a nasty surprise when he brought me to meet this Andy guy.

Turns out it was AJ. Fucking. McGabe.

That’s right. My best friend was buddies with my sexy nemesis himself.

Fuck. It was going to be a long semester…
