    About this ebook

    Yasmin Naylor should be happy. She had a wonderful summer. She is joining the Varsity cheerleaders this year, and her boyfriend, David, is a true gem. Unfortunately, this year is challenging to Yasmin in many ways. Her classes are harder, her grades are dropping, and someone is flirting with her boyfriend. She's trying to control her fears, but she can't help but think things are going to fall apart.

    Nicole Lawson is pretty unhappy. Though she is a parent's dream, she feels alone. She enjoys spending time with her best friend, Yasmin, but sometimes that isn't enough. Nicole wants to be known, liked, and befriended by her peers. She wants a boyfriend and the teen life she sees on TV. Now that she's officially sixteen, Nicole is allowed to date. She has her sights set on Kenneth, but she's much too shy to approach him. Can Nicole be the person she wants to be?

    Anya Dorn is bored. Her family moved to Virginia from Florida. Though her stepfather is alright and her new stepsister is adorable, Anya is nervous about being in a new school and a new place. When Anya meets David, the attraction is instant. Unfortunately, David has a girlfriend. Anya, never one to back down from what she wants, decides to go after David. Will she be able to break Yasmin and David up?

    Catherine Wooden

    I have always used writing as an outlet. I like to prepare myself for different situations and writing helps me think through what to say and do. Interestingly enough, I was so shy and afraid of people I never shared my writing with people I know in real life. My writing has been and remains something that I only share online. One day, I hope to have the courage to integrate my two lives.
