Devyn Foster has gone through a lot. That's why she's built up such strong walls around her keeping out everything except her love for photography and her brother. She couldn't think of any better way to spend her summer than making a short film for a film festival she's entered.
Kaleb Foster is figuring things out. After being stripped of his "Popular" social status, he starts to realize that there's more to life than being well liked by everyone. He's created goals for himself for the summer that involve taking care of his family and finding out what sort of person he wants to be.
After crossing paths the last few days of school, Devyn becomes interested in turning Kaleb's plans into her film and Kaleb becomes interested in her. Some feelings become clear while others fail to be realized. (I'm in the process of re-writing some things.)

The Best Kind of Betrayal
It's the first day of June's senior year and everything is already going wrong. Her first boyfriend and supposedly love of her life dumps her for someone else, her heart is broken and feels like it won't ever heal again and her best friend makes her join the most unnecessary club on earth to help her find new friends she most definitely does not need. Still. New chances are for new beginnings, right? Instead of falling into a deep dark pit of self pity (however tempting that may sound), all of this betrayal ends up leading her to the best friends she's ever had and the most exciting school year of her life. Oh - and a whole new fake boyfriend, to get some revenge on that idiot who dumped her. And who knows. Maybe even more.
Bliss
Two weeks. Two weeks of sun, sand and stress-free fun. At least that's the package Lizzie was sold. Little does she know, the package was a dream. A sweetly wrapped lie fed to her by those she trusts the most. There will be sand, sure. And sun, lots of it. But stress-free? Well, with Isaac in tow, that's pretty much impossible. Convinced he's still bad news, Lizzie is determined to enjoy every single second of her vacation without him. Just because he's next door doesn't mean they'll cross paths...right?

Tabloids (COMPLETE)
Don't read this. Unless of course, you have a strange interest for stories than involve a shy, awkward teenage girl who made it big in the music industry. Then be my guest and continue reading. Just like several other newly-discovered artists, I was found on the internet. I sing. I write songs. I play guitar. So how am I worthy of stardom? Honestly, I don't think I am. You know who's worthy of stardom? This new musician named Spencer Caldwell. He's everything I'm not. And he's far better-suited for a hectic life of touring and publicity. We're different. And yet it appears to me that were going down this road together. Book 1 of the "Stars Are Born" Trilogy.Complete

That night |☆ BILL KAULITZ ☆
It's the first day after the summerbreak. You sit with your friends at your desk, the teacher walks in with a new student, but then... In this story, I want to address important topics. It's not meant to romanticize it. There won't be any particularly spicy scenes in this story (just a small sex scene). The story is rather dramatic and sad. If something triggers you or makes you sad (due to trauma or something), contact me on Instagram (in my bio) and we can talk about it together. I want to help you with that, and everything will remain private. In summary, this story is about bullying, complicated love, trauma, drugs, selfharm, a little violence and suicide. Even if there is only a small sex scene, I will still set it to mature for the protection of children. Have fun reading! love yall ❤️ ©Isy_kaulitzzzComplete
