An outgoing country boy. A wallflower jock. And a completely off-limits relationship. ** Aspiring artist Kade Turner is the new kid at school, imported into the big city from countryside town Greensboro. With his accent and his dad being the insanely popular coach of the varsity football team, Kade had no hopes of going unnoticed. But, no worries. Although he doesn't blend in easily like the brush strokes on his many canvasses, he had no problems making friends with everyone. Well, everyone except this one guy. For some reason Atticus, the Running Back of the football team and his brand new stepbrother, wants absolutely nothing to do with him. Kade doesn't understand why and is determined to get closer to him for his Dad's sake. But when Kade finally finds out what Atticus' problem is, rather than solving anything it only complicates their 'brothers' status even more.

[Wattpad's Summer Reading Checklist 2022 Pick] "'Hella heavy' is your response to seeing me with a literal fish tail?" "Sorry. Should ... should it be something else? Wait, does this mean that you can't eat sushi?" * * * * * When Alyssa shows up in Hulhazy Front a week after wiping the memory of her partner, she's terrified of ruining everything again. Her brother and dad are convinced she'll be okay as soon as she's able to "move on", which makes no sense to her, because they sound like the exact same thing. Alyssa doesn't care about moving on--she just cares about hiding the fact that she's a mermaid from this new small town, and especially her new coworker, Elliot. Elliot has spent the past year trying to figure out how to be out. It seems that every time she finds some kind of balance, something has to happen. Her parents say something homophobic before she's about to confess her "big secret," or her old friends from the swim team make some jab about all the things they're convinced Elliot did sophomore year. She's planning on her summer consisting of working at the public pool, hiding her sexuality, and third-wheeling it up with her best friends, Neema and Duncan. Until, of course, she meets Alyssa. *cover created using graphics from freepik*

Eighteen year old Charmeine was looking forward to spending her summer break at home, reading her beloved romance novels. It was the last 'real' holiday she'd have before being shipped off to college and she planned to use it to its fullest laziness potential. Charmeine's plans get roughly disrupted, however, when her mother suddenly decided it was unhealthy for a young woman to sit inside all the time. Before she knew it Charmeine was on a plane with her sister, Joyce, and flying to the Spanish coast for a dream vacation in their family's apartment. Dream vacation for anyone who wasn't Charmeine, that was. Nightlife holidays were for beautiful people with an outgoing personality like Joyce and her friends. Not for Charmeine. She certainly didn't expect to find a summer romance like her sister- until the handsome and popular bartender Ty came along and took an interest in her. Charmeine's summer was finally starting to look up. Or was it all too good to be true? One thing's for sure: real life wasn't like the romance novels, and it loved to throw the most unexpected plot twists in your face.

A queen bee and a wannabe. What could they possibly have in common? As it turned out, more than they ever thought.

"Nå, men hvad hedder du?" Jeg holdte hans blik. Var det mig han talte til? Jeg sank en klump. Hvad skulle jeg sige? Jeg kunne ikke sige mit rigtige navn, det var udelukket! Jeg måtte tænke hurtigt. "Rose Sonali." Bravo, dybt originalt. Allison Rose til Rose Sonali? Det ville ingen jo gætte! Jeg bed mig i læben. Det var for sent at sige noget andet. "Hvad med dig?" spurgte jeg inden han nåede at tænke mere over mit navn. "Ashton White." Med et smil på læberne satte han sig ved siden af mig. ~ ~ Allison Rose er flygtet fra et fængsel hun har opholdt sig på i et halvandet år. Hun løber ind i en skov og møder søde Ashton, som lader hende bo i hans lejlighed. Og det lader endda til at han ikke kender hendes sande indentitet! Allison er hele tiden bange for at blive opdaget, men det sker ikke. Og måske ... måske for hun endda nogle småfølesler for Ashton ...? ~ ~ *Den her historie har før været på Instagram* ~ ❌GRIMT SPROG!❌ ~ AFSLUTTET

✨2018 Watty Winner✨ Two men in love torn apart by war. Yuri Karamov's existence is like Schrödinger's cat, simultaneously both dead and alive. In Ru Konstantin's mind, Yuri's still the same vibrant young man he was when their lives diverged. But the question, the one Ru is too afraid to acknowledge, is whether his best friend turned first love is still alive. In the span of eighteen years, their hometown of Dronesk goes from a quiet, humdrum town to a besieged territory of the BKA; a radical militia group who wants to eradicate the Arash--people like Ru--from Rujga Province. Yuri Karamov is one of the recruits fighting for a Brommian liberation. After years of lost contact, Ru returns to Dronesk in search of his best friend, confronting not only the ruins of his ancestral home and the new realities of a post-liberation movement, but questions about love, freedom, and the price of self-governance. If We Exist, is a coming-of-age story that examines friendship, sexuality, class struggles and ethnic tensions through the lens of Ru Konstantin; desperate, anxiety-ridden, and awfully nostalgic.
