The Summer I Turned Pretty Books Novels & Stories

At two in the morning, my sister, Paige Boyce, paid men to smash up my barbecue stand. I fought to make them stop, ignoring the embers that scorched blisters into my skin as they landed. It was the first time in my life I'd ever raised my voice at her. "After Mom and Dad died in that plane crash, this stand paid for four years of your college education and helped you become a flight attendant for Golden Crest Airlines," I said. "Are you really going to destroy the only thing keeping us alive?" Something flickered in her eyes, a flash of reluctance, but she steeled herself and scoffed. "I've told you a hundred times to get rid of this dump of a stand, and you never listen. Do you want m

I know she’s been photographed topless with just her hair artfully covering her breasts in the past; I’ve got the image saved to my phone along with dozens of others. Hoarding pictures of Aubrey Campbell is my dirty little secret. From the moment I first saw her, I wanted to claim her. Make her mine. Knowing she’s been practically naked in front of others is a totally different thing to actually seeing her bare herself. The possessive beast inside me won’t allow it. “No more. From now on no one sees your pretty little tits and juicy ass.” “Wha—I don’t…” I close the distance between us, causing her to look up so she can meet my eyes. “No one sees what’s mine.” “Y-yours?” “Mine.”

I was about to successfully make it past the hallway but a loud whisper caught my attention. "Isn't she the whore that threw herself at Ashton and slept with him?" My heart skipped a beat. My books dropped to the ground on their own their own accord and my palms suddenly felt sweaty. How did it get out? I bent to pick it when I was suddenly surrounded by an army of students who kept throwing snide comments and remarks. "Such a shameless whore!" "And she keeps pretending to be chaste in her stupid baggy outfits." "How did Ashton even make it past her fat!"

But a sudden strange noise coming from the back startled me. I went to see what is happening but to my surprise a young lady wearing a torn golden dress was struggling to climb the back gate. Her golden-brown hair with a half bun tied with a yellow ribbon was gorgeously flowing. She's like someone who came out of the fairytale books. Very extraordinary and enchanting. "Hey!" I shouted but she became more desperate to climb when she saw me. "I can open the door for you." I came to her and offered to open the gate

Burk said, stopping mid-sentence, his comments about quality oak furniture from the turn of the century losing meaning. “Hi, Mr. Burk. Can I have the book, Dad?” “Sure, honey,” Richard replied with a bit of a sigh, like he couldn’t stand thinking about his daughter all grown up. He looked at Mr. Burk for a second, almost holding the man back with his eyes, as he handed over the book. “I don’t have Lockton’s lineup yet, though.” “Great, I’ll go get it.” She rushed off, hoping to avoid Shane, but she heard him walking up behind her as she was leaving and braced herself for the inevitable, hoping he’d be nice with her dad standing there.

I shook my head before taking out a notepad and note down the ones she needs to check next. “Check whether these books are there in the library otherwise I will get them from somewhere else.” I said passing the note which she took before standing up and walked away towards the side where the books could be. After some time she returned with just one book and mumbled, “I couldn’t find the others, Sir.” “Finally using words? Why were you silent before?” I asked looking at her but she calmly sat down. “I don’t know what you are talking about, Sir. If there is anything else, please let me know.” She mumbled before noting down from the book she was reading earlier.

I’m alive, I’m breathing, and yes, I’m still talking too much because I would actually go insane if I stayed quiet for even a minute. Damon says I could outtalk the Moon itself and he’s probably right, but whatever. Now let’s talk. You know that movie that’s been trending lately..The Summer I Turned Pretty? Cute title, right? Sweet little coming-of-age kind of thing. Well, mine wasn’t like that. Mine was the summer everything changed. And when I say everything, I mean my heart, my life, my entire soul. Damon Thornvale. My man. My Alpha. My absolute headache and the reason I can’t look at another guy without laughing because, hello, how could I, after him?

See you amongst the turning pages, Shana Allen

he chuckled, and I blinked before turning again and continuing on cleaning. Despite that I did say it was past noon, I took glasses and placed them on the coffee table, “I’ll take the book” I told him before proceeding to my room and leaving him nodding. I came back again and Brye was opening the bottles ready, pouring them fully into each cup. “Are you just in the mood na uminom or may problem ka?” I commented before placing the book gently on the table and sitting down on the other side of the couch. Brye laughs, “I don’t know, maybe both” he smiled before giving me a glass. “Cheers” he grinned before clinking our glasses together and taking a huge gulp from it. I took a sip before taking

Timmy said. "Are you done here? If you are, then leave," I calmly said. Jessica's face became pale, then flushed red. "You can't get back at me like this just because I turned you down! Business is business, and you can't force love! I'm never going to throw myself at you just to get some investment funding! I hope you can tell the difference and just sign!" "Nice speech! Really nice!" I said as I clapped slowly. I honestly did not know just how shameless Jessica could be.
