❝I would say I love you, but I don't know what love is.❞ Tristan Hammond's life turns totally upside down after a car accident that killed his parents, put his little sister Tiana in a coma, and handicapped him. Stuck in a wheelchair, the title of soccer captain disappears along with his dreams and potential scholarship. And even better, Tristan is bombarded with a list of seemingly never-ending problems... From how to deal with his PTSD, to how to come out as gay, to what to do with his newfound crush on the boy next door, it seems as though senior year of high school is one huge mess. Westlyn Wu is new in town and already one of Grovewood High's star soccer players---much to some of his classmates' chagrin. He uses the sport as an escape, because even though he's team captain and somehow manages good grades, his life is far from perfect. West's father is an extremely bitter man, and he takes his anger out on West's mother and West himself. The insurmountable pressure that comes with having to balance rigorous classes, a completely dysfunctional home, and the image and responsibility of team captain? It's enough to totally snap someone in half. So the question remains... Can these two boys find happiness in their lives, or will they never achieve it? Well, maybe they will... In each other. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ Highest Rankings: #1 in watty-2019 ~ 3/13/2019 #2 in verbal ~ 1/11/2019 #2 in caraccident ~ 12/9/2019 #6 in asexual ~ 12/22/2019 #16 in carcrash ~ 11/28/2018 #24 in comingoutofthecloset ~ 12/03/2018 #65 in realization ~ 5/15/2020 ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ON HIATUS ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ This book is dedicated to all of my friends who are a part of the LGBTQA+ community.

Book Two of TGGBB Series Naomi Lorraine, who used to be or still known as Nerdy Naomi, looks forward in her thick rimmed glasses to a life without the fear of being bullied. She no longer has to take up the laughs, insults, and bruises high school once gave her, at least she hopes not as much. With her bullies finally realizing there's no point to dedicating their lives to make one person miserable, Naomi thinks she can live out the rest of her life normally. That is until her childhood friend, Dominic, crashes back into her life, throwing out that hope of having a normal life- Not like she had one in the beginning. That is because she has the Three Musketeers -Bennett Frazier, Jordan Wallace, and Declan Lynch- by her side. Together, they faced the adventures life threw at them and would have never thought that anything, or anyone, could break them. Oh, but don't worry. Really, you're overthinking things here. This is nothing to stress over about. It's still quite simple really. She's still their good girl. And they're still her bad boys. Right?

This is a story about bullying, and like the hundreds of other books on the topic, it will show you the harsh reality of what it is like to be discriminated, belittled, ridiculed for something you cannot control- how you look, who you love, or what you believe in. But unlike these books, this story's sole purpose is not to tear your heart out of your chest as you mourn over your loss of faith in humanity. Instead, this book will make you laugh and love alongside these characters. Just like in life, there will be moments of dread and surrender, but there will be just as many moments of happiness, laughter, and love. Naomi Lorraine, more commonly known as Nerdy Naomi with her thick-rimmed glasses and straight-A report card, is the most unpopular girl in her small school, Dartwell High. And even with the help of her snarky attitude, that doesn't stop her from getting bullied by everyone, every day. She only has to survive the laughs, insults, and bruises her senior year will bring before being free from the prison we know as high school. However, her final year in high school won't be how she planned when she catches the attention of the three new senior transfer students: Bennett Frazier, Jordan Wallace, and Declan Lynch. Their unordinary friendship may be what will save Naomi, not just from her bullies, but from herself. - This is a stand-alone story inspired by my 2015 Wattys Talk of the Town Award Winner TGGBB or "The Good Girl's Bad Boys: The Good, The Bad, and The Bullied". It is a separate work from TGGBB Series. Readers of TGGBB and Rereaders of this story will not be tolerated in spoiling the story for First Time Readers. Trigger Warning: Contains depictions of violence, bullying (based on racism, gender, sexuality, and more), sexual harassment and assault, mental abuse, and cursing in languages other than English (Yes, I have found a loophole on my no cursing rule).

Charlotte Black was completely and utterly perfect. She was captain of the softball team, popular, a 4.0 student, and drop dead gorgeous. Most of all, she was straight. Lemon Hatfield was not. She was introverted, unpopular, gay, and lacked one athletic bone in her body. For Lemon, Charlotte was unattainable, the girl everyone was crushing on but nobody could get. Everything changes when Lemon spots Charlotte working at a McDonald's an hour away from their school. This makes Lemon question everything she thought she knew about Charlotte and her seemingly perfect life. As she discovers more and more about Charlotte's struggle, Lemon learns to never judge a book by its cover, and that things aren't always as they seem.
