Katie was happy with her typical existence. Then, someone snaps her picture with the hottest-bachelor-under-25 and her life becomes a whirlwind of charity functions, fancy dinners, and...coming out parties... are you serious?

Jules is content to fake relationships through the cyber world, until she meets the one person capable of reminding her that the real world might just be worth living in after all.

The seemingly unrequited crush on your best friend, the perfect romantic cliche, and you know those always work out. However, when an evil older brother, mind games, and dirty little secrets are thrown into the mix, maybe this cliche isn't that perfect...

. "Hatred comes from the heart, contempt from the head, and neither feeling is quite within our control." Bullshit, she thinks. Then she meets Matthew Valentine.

I put the menu down and try to look as meek as I possibly can, doodling a finger over my place mat. "So uh, how is this date going for you?" "Best night of my life," He smiles. "No one I'd rather go on a fake date with."

RE-POSTED. After vowing to never date another frat guy, he's trying to bend her new rule. Only because she'd so stupidly, under the influence of cheap punch and an extremely stressful Thursday, confessed that he might just be the most adorable guy on campus. Complete.

[one-shot] Crushing on your lab partner is tough, especially when you always take the advantage to chat him at 2 a.m. without seeming creepy. But why he's kissing me against a wall in the girls locker room is seriously beyond me at the moment. Hold on, let's backtrack here for a moment and start at the beginning of the day.

As her best friend, Dennis had the responsibility of protecting her from oblivious, undeserving morons. "Despite your… quirks, you're someone anyone is lucky to know. If he can't appreciate that, then good riddance." Sun appreciated the irony of the situation and had to laugh loudly. "Thanks, Dennis."

One-shot. How often is it that you get to meet an attractive stranger on the train? The problem is, you usually never see him again. Luckily for Juli, hers just keeps showing up.

Nightmares and Dreams are actual creatures who invade human minds as embodied fears and joys. Violet doesn't use the new BlissMax pill designed to give good dreams (or any modern niceties, thanks Dad), and one night, a Nightmare—the fear of hell—enters her enticingly un-medicated mind and gets trapped.

Sophie believes she is cursed. She can never hold onto a hot beverage long enough to take a sip. Then Grayson enters the picture, and he's determined to find a cure. Oneshot.

Complete. After being dumped, I was told by my best friend that the best way to move on is to have a rebound. So I kissed a stranger just to get it out of my system. The next thing I know, I'm seeing this guy practically everywhere I go.

Her sister is getting married to her ex, her brother's sexual escapades are making headlines, her mother is going crazy, and her father's not speaking to any of them. But perhaps strangest of all, her coworker and archrival has offered to be her date for the wedding. Because bringing home a fake boyfriend always works out... right? NOW AVAILABLE ON AMAZON.

Since she was sixteen, Amy has written love letters to her future husband. In a fit of frustration, she throws them out, where they're picked up by the last person in the world she ever expects. Since when do rock stars sing about nothings like her?

He winked and turned around to return to his desk, giving me a glimpse of The Complete Collection of Poems by Edgar Allan Poe sticking out of his back pocket like a sign with big red words saying, "I am attractive and intelligent. Do me now." The universe did not play fair.

He was quiet, brooding and closed off. He sat next to me every class, even following me when I changed seats. He never talked, never looked my way and if it weren’t for that damn Morrissey shirt, I’d have kicked his stalking ass. ONESHOT.

Jace spread his arms. "I'm right here, Lex." My heart skipped a beat. "Uhm, no thanks, you probably have cooties and other diseases." Jace, man-whore that he was, was one of my best friends, not to mention my house mate. So falling for him probably wasn't a good idea, right? Shit. This is why I needed a dog.

Falling in love with a Bugatti car in a showroom is one thing. But opening the newspaper the next day to find that it was reported missing the night before is another thing. Finding an unconscious man on her doorstep the same day, who later claims his name is "Bugatti" just complicates things further. So then?

Ever heard the story of Cinderella? Well, so has my sister, Cindy. And she'll stop at nothing to make it a reality. Who am I? Why, I'm the ugly stepsister, of course!

Hannah Ayers and Jake Allen had hated each other for longer than they could remember. But when a car accident leaves Hannah with amnesia, she can’t remember him at all. Jake could use this to a nefarious advantage…or enjoy a clean slate. Tough choice.

COMPLETE. Dear Reader, It was all very painful and sudden. And I'm not really sure how everything happened. Let's see… Car Accident? Check. Drowning? Double Check. So the ending is simple, right? Wrong. I should have just died and gone to heaven. But instead I have fallen into a realm with demons. And one in particular is grinning cynically at me... I think I'm now his pet. FML

COMPLETE! When a powerful and handsome supernatural being decides to take an interest in your life, you'd be super happy, right? Wrong. He's decided to make my life a living hell. Would this be a bad time to say that I'm falling for him? Woops. *Nominated for Most Creative Plot SKoW round 12*

Even though Borris drives me insane and pees on my carpet and steals my shoes, I can't help but love him because of his stupid serious eyes and the creases in his forehead and the dimple when he smiles - wait, that's Harry who gets the dimple, not Borris. But they're just so similar I can't tell the difference.

One shot. What's a girl to do when her ten night stand throws her knickers out the window? Steal a pair of his boxers to wear of course. It's not a big deal, until Kristie Carlson comes up and asks whether you're wearing someone else's underwear.

ONESHOT. He always stole my Halloween ideas. When I came as a piece of ham, he was cheese. When I was a princess, he was supposedly my prince. Then I came as LC, and he said he was Brody Jenner. I wonder what idea of mine he’s going to steal this year...

Oneshot. Belle's surefire ways to get a guy: 1, Write his name on your hand. 2, Lure him in with jelly beans. If it works for kids, it works for men. And 3, recite your many witty food analogies. He won't be able to resist.

So here I am, standing ‘innocently’ inside my neighbour’s garage, possibly eavesdropping, when next thing I know I’m being swept off my feet – no joke. Let me tell you this is not my idea of my fairytale happy ending. ONESHOT

ONE-SHOT! "Hi," I mumbled, "are those contacts?" He laughed. "No, that's my real eye colour. I'm Kieran Westwood." I shook his offered hand, saying "I'm Vanessa Cerille, soon-to-be Vanessa Westwood." Yeah, I don't know where that came from either.

COMPLETE! His name was Patrick Fitzpatrick, but he pulverized anyone who dared to call him that. He was an enigma, a mystery. Nobody knew anything completely true about him other than that he hated his name. But hey, I’d always liked solving mysteries.

-ONE SHOT- He was just the creepy dude who insisted on hovering over my shoulder every morning while I tried to drink my coffee. Obviously the only reason I let him keep doing it without punching him in the face was because he always helped me finish the daily crossword. That had to be the only reason... right?

It is said that if you put your name in locker 420, the Matchmaker will find you your perfect match. So what happens when the arrogant spoiled brat is captivated and the matchmaker meets her match?

ONEshot. - She is the type of person who likes hugs and kisses. Cuddles and touches. But he isn't. And sadly, she doesn't know.

June was fine with her rather dull life. The last thing she needed was a cursed bracelet, a demon chasing her, and a surly vampire who makes her toes curl. Although she's changing her mind on that last one...

(One-Shot) 12:05pm. Target caught masturbating in bathroom stall. 007 status: in adjacent stall, hyperventilating.

Being a damsel in distress isn't nearly as glamorous as it seems...I should know, since my life is the equivalent of a really bad Disney movie. Except I don't have a Genie or a singing lobster to help me win my heart's desire, whatever that is.

Carrie, a self-proclaimed book nerd, thought she would spend a quiet summer working at Angelo's, a crazy Italian pizza place. She didn't think a weird guy would come into the restaurant and hit on her - or that he would actually be a spy from Pizza Hut.

So maybe my best friend chose his girlfriend over me, and maybe he only remembered my birthday a week after it had passed. The scrap of paper on my locker said: "I R SORRY." How could I stay mad at a boy who apologized like that? Oneshot.

ONE SHOT. “I heard you had a girlfriend. Kirk told me she was pretty.” Her voice was wobbly. “She’s beautiful,” he murmured. “Do you love her?” she asked after a pause. He said, “I’ll never love her like I loved you.” Suddenly, I couldn’t breathe.

He refused to refer to me as his best friend, and I told him I only kept him around for his cooking. But the truth was, we cared about each other more than anything. No matter how much we got on each other’s nerves.

If you want to be more specific, the writing on the desk is what really changed my life. Scribbled across the surface of that life-changing desk in the back of that history classroom was a three month conversation with a boy I’d never even met.

“Is this something you do all the time? When a guy tells you he likes you, you strip in front of him and drown yourself in a pool?” "Maaaybe." And she fell sideways into the pool, giggling. one-shot.

“There she goes, there she goes again. Racing through my brain, and I just can’t contain, the feeling that remains.” He sung to me, leaning on the door like he leaned on the gates of the repair shop. “You!” “Me.” he smirked. "You stole my door!"

I fell in love... with embarassing Mattie Jacobs. Too bad he caught on and learned a few tricks of his own.

“You have…” I stared at what I was wearing once more, feeling oddly calm. I shook my body a little, and there it was. That stupid, annoying jing-a-ling. I looked up at Raleigh incredulously. “You have little bells on your g-string?” SKoW challenge.

“Let me guess,” Sam said into the intercom after a while, “You’re the singing leprechaun I hear people talking about.”“Close enough,” He answered,“Only I’m six-foot tall, I don’t have pots of gold, and despite popular belief, I can actually sing."one-shot

ONE SHOT So you find a phone, and you take it, because… it’s a free phone, why wouldn’t you? And it’s pretty sweet until the angry owner starts calling you every chance he gets.

First, he thought I had a clown fetish -Because I asked for his number when he was working as a clown-. Then, he started giving me balloon flowers -Because I was ‘as boring as a flower’-. What I never expected to come right after that, though, was love.

I never, in a million years, would have guessed that Hunter Ashen was interested in playing drums for our band. The guy wasn’t mean, necessarily. But the quiet, rocker type boy had everyone in our school intimidated.

“Did you honestly,” he panted, pausing to grin, “Just compare me to a Greek sex god?” Oh, he so wasn’t going to let that go, was he? -- Aphrodite never saw this coming...

“Right now, standing on top of this bloody cliff, I have only one thing to say to you. It has 'I', it has 'you', and you probably wouldn't like the idea of it.";“I knew it,” He says with a gasp, "You want to have sex with me!" One-shot. fluff. :

More Gavin and Katie. It's the Christmas before 'Save the Cheerleader' takes place, and our lovely heroin has fallen ill. Will Gavin step in to save the day? Or will he not? Not is a stupid word, anyway. He does not like giving up coffee for this nonsense

This can be read as a separate story but will make much more sense if read after 'Save the Cheerleader' Gavin and Katie are back with more corny romance and more adventure. The occasion? Thanksgiving with Katie's family. All fiftysix of them. Oh, dear.
