My Star's Light is Overrated |✓

#10 in Humor 15/05/17 #29 in Teen Fiction 02/11/16DISCLAIMER: I wrote this story when I was thirteen, so I'm sure that there are A TON of mistakes and plot holes. Reader's discretion is advisable.❝Even through the cloudy nights of gloom and gray, it is a star's light that brings out a new Day❞ When a girl starts off a new school for the first time in her life, she obviously expects it to be far from sunshine and happiness. Especially if she's joined in the middle of the school year and used to be able to get up whenever she wanted, had her very own governess and lived out in the boonies. Not Day Winters. Meet the girl who defies logic of every kind, as she faces the real world for what it is despite holding a huge secret- that she is an online blogger with more than half of the world's population in love with her. This population however, isn't in love with Day, but her online form Starlight24. In an endless roller coaster of love, secrets, fights and friendship, Day is forced to accept the fact that even a Star's light will eventually burn out, and that even her own flame may flicker out into an overrated Daydream. ✨✨✨ © 2015 All rights reserved.

With the secrets of a dead girl, the mysterious past of a boy who pretended he was perfect and a LOT of Disney jokes, Cecilia's in for a wild ride she doesn't know how to get off of. ✨✨✨✨ © 2017 All rights reserved.[EXTENDED SUMMARY INSIDE]

She hates high school, is a skeptic of feminism and hasn't had any dramatic and defining event in her life yet. She has everything she wants- a popular boyfriend, a loving family and great grades. The one person she can't stand, however, is Lola Vanderwall. The girl with the perky personality, the gorgeous cheerleader body and the smile that can make anyone weak in the knees.When Olivia finds out her seemingly perfect boyfriend cheated on her with Lola, she's on a warpath. Surely Danny wouldn't have done anything to hurt her, would he? Surely it's all Lola's fault. And Olivia is willing to do anything she can to take Lola down.But just like how lines can blur and love can fade, sometimes a story isn't as one-sided as someone may think. And sometimes, things aren't as clear-cut as they may seem. Maybe it isn't the mistress' fault. And empowering each other is the only way to make things right.
