18 year old River Mitchell a new freshman at Ridgeview University. A dark past, full of secrets she's trying to get over. A fresh start across the country. But the truth always comes back to bite you in the ass. Promises to her dad were made. NO BOYS! But that's not the only complication with this boy. How do you deal with feelings you don't understand? How do you get over your traumatic past? River definitely does not have the answer to these questions. Every single person has secrets. And I mean everyone! She writes. He writes. She has a past full of secrets. He has secrets of his own. Relationships are complicated especially when you both have secrets

"why don't you talk more?" "nobody listens," "I'll listen." i have a poem account on tiktok, (same user as on here) and a poem went crazy viral so people were telling me to write a story inspired by it :) a girl sits in the back of the class, taking notes. her hair is messy, and so is her handwriting. her head is down, hiding from anyone who might know her name, while a boy sits in the front, with his head high as everyone laughs at his joke. but this isn't a love story. not even close. see, they aren't strangers, but they act like they are. he knows her name, but he also knows she will never be enough for him, no matter how much he wants her to be. -L

Warning: I am a weirdo. This will contain some thoughts of mine, some poems, some deep shit, some thoughts I have as I go through the journey of self-exploration, lmao. Some chapters may be seen as too controversial but whatever you know. I mean, reading this is your choice. You don't have to. I mean, I'd like you all to read every chapter but it's not a story book so you may skip some chapters you don't like and read the ones that you do like. P.S. I do not deny that my thoughts are somewhat influenced by my environment and experiences. Also, this is the real me. Some people think I'm quiet and cold-hearted but on the inside I'm actually a big softie with feelings. To be honest, it's kinda my fault since I hate revealing my emotions to other people or even asking for help until I have to. And even then, I start hating myself for being such a weakling. That is a major character flaw of mine that I must overcome!
