Teen Age Girls

Melissa begins her freshman year with one goal in mind, getting Brian Jackson to be her boyfriend. She will soon learn that things don't necessarily turn out the way you plan them, the value of true friendship, and the importance of family.

She's a mean girl. He's a bad boy. Every school has at least one. Even Silver Valley High, but what happens when the two collide? Almost legal age Echo embarks on her senior, but it turns out things aren't going as planned. Her parents leave her home alone to fend for herself, but you can't have house parties if your dad cuts you off, leaving you dead broke, and there's nothing to be happy about. Artist is not your everyday bad boy cliché. He has a style all his own. Artist isn't just the bad boy, he's the new kid.

Everybody's met a Judy. Somehow, as crass and rusty on the outside as they always are, you always like them. Deep down inside they have a soft heart, which you can see in their eyes if you look long enough. Why? Because often they have a story - of pain, and they just like to hide it under the gruff face. Meet Judy, raised by her grandparents because of her dysfunctional home; has a baby out of wedlock in her teens and is dying of cancer.

Sarah has been left with nothing - not even hope. The person she trusted the most has deceived her and now she doesn’t know what to do. All she knows is what she is being forced to do. If she doesn’t get a job quickly then she’s going to lose her place at college. Robert can’t believe he’s messed things up so badly. It isn’t even his own pain that he’s bothered about. It’s the fact that he’s hurt Sarah. He knows that he has to make things right. He knows that he has to prove to her that she’s worth so much more to him than money. So he comes up with a plan....

Sarah has decided that supporting Rob is the right thing to do, even if it puts her in an awkward position. She knows that with the loss of his father, he’s going to need her when he returns home to a place that he hasn’t been in years. She’s worried, though. She’s worried about how his sisters are going to treat her after his father took such a disliking to her and told her she would never be part of the family.

Sarah went to college to learn. She went for the classes and to prove her father wrong about what women could really achieve. But all she’s managed to do so far is mess things up. Without knowing how, she’s ended up with two men after her and no idea about which one she wants to be with. The clock is ticking, and she knows that neither of them will wait forever.

Sarah and Robert got close during their class project, but she hasn’t seen him since. She’s starting to think she’s wasting her time. That is, until she gets a phone call from him saying his father wants to meet her. Robert has never had an easy relationship with his dad, and that isn’t about to change on his father’s deathbed. In his last desperate attempt to control his son, Rob’s father sends Sarah away with the message she will never be welcome in Rob’s life. Will Rob be willing to stand for it, or will he go against his father’s dying wishes so he can be with the girl he loves?

Faith thought that starting a new school for her senior year was as bad as it was going to get.

After going to a party and bumping into him again, she finds herself waking up the next morning with no memory of what happened. There is someone who knows what happened, though, but is he willing to tell the truth?
