"Why you by yo'self, lil ma?" She looked over her shoulder as he approached from behind, then immediately rolled her eyes and faced forward. He chuckled at the attitude, crouching down beside her before slipping into the pool. "You got a lil attitude or sum?" he asked, standing directly in front of her. His lower body was submerged, leaving his bare chest revealed. Even in five feet of water, his 6'3" frame loomed over her. "No," she kept it short, pretending to admire her nails. He chuckled again, swimming closer, not caring who was watching. Journi's back stiffened. She sat up straight, her heart starting to race. He wasn't as close as he could be, but he was close enough. She swallowed the lump in her throat, trying to look anywhere but at him. He reached out, grabbing her calves under the water and caressing them gently. "Kacey, what are you doing?" she muttered lowly, paranoid that every eye in the backyard was on them. "Shit, I could be doing more," he chuckled, the vibration of his voice sending chills down her spine. His tone was enticing, especially when he muttered those slick comments he knew would catch her off guard. Journi blushed, looking down into her lap to avoid eye contact.

"𝑰'𝒎 𝒔𝒐𝒓𝒓𝒚 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒔𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒊𝒏 𝑮𝒍𝒆𝒏𝒅𝒂𝒍𝒆 𝒐𝒓 𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒇𝒂𝒓" I can say that I've been Miss Sweet Misery for the last time, except this was just the start back when California dreamin' was our scheme during a hectic global pandemic. Love stories are overrated, and yes, this is one of them. A really strange one, actually. But it's also so much more than just a love story. It's a story of eight star-crossed teens brought together by the cities of Glendale and Los Angeles when we probably should've been staying at home... but the friendship was so strong, how could we possibly not see each other every week? There were crazy adventures and there were crazy confessions, and yes, there was also heartbreak. It's all part of a cliche coming of age and this was ours. - yours truly, Emma Suarez INSPIRED BY: minor + IMYIS by Gracie Abrams and Love Story by Taylor Swift. 2026 update: A lot of the earlier chapters were worded super bad and not very YA sounding, but I'm working on making it less poetic/word vomit and more natural for a teenage pov!

"He definitely wants to sleep with you," he taunts. "Excuse me?" I look at him weirdly, "What are you even talking about." "The way he touched your arm. That's what people do when they wanna fuck someone." He looks down at his paper and continues to sketch his patterns. I get an idea and scoot my chair closer to his. I lean forward and bring my lips up to his ear, very gently. "Well, that's what you do." He snaps his head towards me like he knows what I'm going to say next. "Do you wanna fuck me?" I whisper, making sure to look at him in awe. I hope it has an even better effect since our faces are closer. He opens his mouth to say something but hesitates. His eyes are everywhere but mine. When he finally catches my stare, he pushes my chair back to where it was before with his foot. "You are such a smart-ass. Would it hurt to swallow your ego for two seconds? Not everything's about you," he argues. "Maybe. I mean- I've swallowed worse," I shrug with a petty smile. *** Lavender Quinn has always struggled with her mental health but somehow managed to always stay at the top of her class... until her senior year.
