Was published, but is now off the market--I'm sorry! Brianne is the opposite of her best friend, Kyla. Kyla is open-minded; Brianne is closed off, judgmental. Kyla is a hopeless romantic. Brianne? Not so much. So when Kyla shoves an apple into her face telling her to throw it across the cafeteria so she can find her future love, Brianne is anything but interested. And yet she throws the apple anyway. Who does the apple hit? Dannon Barone, the most popular boy in school. Though he's seemingly sweet and all-smiles, Brianne dislikes him. She thinks he's a fake, a fraud, someone who is just charming the crowds in order to gain popularity. But Brianne is about to learn that stereotypes are not true, and that she's been too quick to judge those around her. Brianne Nichols' life is about to change forever. And what does she have to thank for it? A bruised piece of fruit. Who would have known that a stupid apple could be right? | technically not part of the summary | Okay, so I know the prenote says to find any errors you can. Just letting you know there's no point to that anymore because I've reedited it two more times after this one (extensively so), and already sent it in to be self-published. The only reason that the prenote is still up is because a fan made an amusing slideshow and if I edit anything then the tags for the wattys will be gone and I'll no longer be entered , hahah!

"You look dead." I'm not dead. I'm still alive. Don't look at me. I'm ugly. I need to be perfect. Absolutely perfect.

Eli Wyatt Walker is the name. Well, my boy name anyway. This is my story (diary) that I've keep to record my feelings since I really don't have anyone I consider super close that I would tell them anyway so what better way to share my feelings than to write them down? I started out fat and now I turned super skinny because anorexia and bulimia is a hard thing to handle... I worry some people... And myself... Because no one wants a fat person... No one wants a stick figure... What does someone one out of me? What do I have to change to get someone to love me? Find out with me because honestly, I have no idea either. ****THIS IS A WORK OF FICTION****

***I Don't Eat Cupcakes*** "Cupcake?" I eyed the sugary snack and willed myself not to stuff the whole thing in my mouth. "No thanks. I'm not hungry." Lie "I ate before I got here." Lie "So I'm pretty full." In case you haven't guessed it yet that was also a big. fat. lie. Now why would I not want to eat a perfectly frosted chocolate cupcake with rainbow sprinkles? I mean, who in their right mind would do that? It's a chocolate cupcake! But I'm not in my right mind, I don't even know where my mind is anymore, all I have is a voice in my head saying-never mind. I'll just get straight to the point and tell you who I am. Hi. I'm, Diane Coleman and I'm anorexic.

***Previously Wattpad Featured Story*** Meet your run-of-the-mill protagonist: Main Character. In this fantasy (spoof) of an epic adventure, Main embarks on a quest to conquer the world, guided only by the words of a drunkard, and a bolt of red lightning. It soon becomes clear that the twelve-foot troll travelling with him is only the start of his increasingly bizarre list of sidekicks. Rising to villainy is harder than it looks, Main realizes; plot twists give him vertigo, and hard work is migraine-inducing. But still, there's a world to conquer, fangirls to run from, and love to fall slave to. What could possibly go wrong? COMPLETED

And trust me, they will also show you yet another example of how weird Japan is. Oh, Japan... how I love you so much. The cover art is by an artist named Takato Yamamoto.

{was FEATURED} Cannibalism [kan-uh-buh-liz-uh m]; noun 1. the eating of human flesh by another human being. ~~~~ Welcome to the Church of Cibus. A place where people come to strengthen their enlightenment with Jesus Christ. The services are short; the people are helpful, kind, and caring; and the food is outstanding- which leaves people insatiable and has them coming back for more. But if you defy our pastor, do not pay your dues, or go snooping in his secrets, then you may just end up on the menu. ~~~~ This story takes place in Southern Georgia- meaning that the dialect maybe in English but there will be a hard southern accent with some characters. This story's style is Local Color and is based off of my sane imagination. ~unedited~ Church of Cannibalism is now active on the game, Episode, so you can interact with all your favorite characters. Just go to the app store; download Episode (it's free) and search up "Church of Cannibalism" or go to the Trending Tap.
