Janelle Beckley thought she was ready for her first year of high school. With best friends, a loving boyfriend, and an aptitude for learning, freshman year should have been a guaranteed breeze. 
    
But before she can even set foot on campus for the first day of school, one wrong summer turns Janelle's world upside down, unraveling her plans, her relationships, and her sanity. As the stress of the school year builds, so does Janelle's guilt over the mistakes she made. And with every piece of bad luck she's served, Janelle struggles more and more to pull herself free of her demons. 
    
Will she find a way to overcome her past and free herself of the guilt and shame that weighs her down? Or will the darkness she feels consume her entirely? 
    
After all, one mistake can change everything.
    
Drawn from personal experiences and told in a mix of first- and third-person narration, this blend of real-life and fiction will allow readers to get to know Janelle inside and out, relating to her and the hardships she faces on a personal level as they root for her to overcome her flaws and insecurities. 
    
Perfect for fans of "Speak," "I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter," and "Thirteen Reasons Why."

The Bad Boy and The Tomboy

115 parts Complete

The Bad Boy and The Tomboy is now published as a Wattpad Book! As a Wattpad reader, you can access both the Original Edition and Books Edition upon purchase. Nicknames, a love of soccer, and school rumors are all the bad boy and the tomboy have in common. But if they give each other a chance, will they find something more? ***** Seventeen-year-old Macy Anderson is a tomboy that plays soccer, hangs with the guys, can't stand girls (except her best friend Jasmine) and doesn't know who Sam Cahill is. But when the pair unexpectedly meet, everything goes downhill from there. Because Sam Cahill is the school's bad boy, known for skipping classes and getting into trouble. Not to mention his cocky attitude, British accent, and magnetic charm, which seems to work on all the girls -- except Macy, who has a rule not date in high school. But when Sam starts showing her his moves (on and off the soccer field), Macy begins to see a different guy under the leather-clad exterior. Will that be enough to convince her that he's the one guy worth breaking the rules for? [[Word count: 300,000 - 350,000 words]] [[2015 Watty Winner]] All Rights Reserved- ©nikki20038
