Reiji is a cold loner with temper issues who reviles the world around him.

Alice is a sheltered aristocrat suffering from social anxieties.

A chance encounter had the two meeting one another. Can their romance blossom despite their debilitating pessimism and paranoia?  A charming tale about breaking out of one's shell and maturing from adolescence to adulthood.

Updated every Saturday! <---(But nothing was said about slight delays!) 



"This is probably one of the best things that I've ever read in the past two years along with The Fault in Our Stars, a few Vonnegut books and Redemption (the 2Million words long Mass Effect fanfiction which you will definitely love). Fresh and unusual humours, not so over-the-top drama, some "aww" moments that are hard to forget and an overall unique story; you really can mix those things pretty well into a 19 chapters (as of this writing) internet novel that I first thought would be like your usual lovey-dovey filled light novels which shows people kiss every 2 chapters but is actually a read that is quite unique for today's standard."
-Some guy on the internet



"This is a soothing piece of work. Experiencing the story through Reiji's and Alice's POV really brings it to life; I always thought slice of life is best written in first person. You managed to make me sympathetic towards them already, seeing how they go about their lives with their train of thought, personality, and all. The drama scenes when done well really have heartstring-pull prowess. Chapter (redacted) comes to mind, and Chapter (redacted) too.

Your Edgy antics are as apparent as ever. I can definitely see how you intentionally make cheeky remarks and references regarding certain anime tropes and antics, yet I don't feel they hinder the story. The narration may read a little too explosive at times, but so far it's nothing that would take my eye off this story one bit. "

"She's right! She's right! I don't cut in the right spot." My hold tightens on my wrist. The red blood oozes out of my wrist. I slide up and grab my bag and run out of the bathroom. I don't care if people can see the blood I just want to get out. I race for the doors and shove through people. I earn a lot of glares and glances that read "weirdo." I ignore and push. I run to my house and lock myself in my bathroom. I don't bother closing the front door cause I don't care if people come in to kill me. I grab my razor and cut deep cuts into my arm and wrists falling into a pool of my own blood. • • • Evangeline has a great life. Friends? Check! Good grades? Check! Loving family? Check! But what if she has secrets that nobody knows of? What if the only thing she can trust is her secret diary? What if slowly but surly she's dying inside? How can an innocent twelve year old deal with these problems? Will she keep on facing these problem till the day she breaks. Her school burns down forcing her into a different school to meet different people and she has to fit into a different lifestyle as well. Meet Evangeline. Now at 17 years of age in a new high school. Not all girls anymore. No uniform. Meet Drake. Your classic bad-boy. He just moved to Saint Abigail high school. He is assigned partners with the quiet, calm, unnoticed Evangeline. As time progresses he finds that she isn't as happy on the inside as she is on the outside. Can he save her? Or is it too late? • • • Some rude language. Depression and cutting. Don't say I didn't warn you. Okay, I wrote this at the start of this year (may 2016) and I had very poor writing skills. This book hasn't been edited and the whole idea is cliche so I wouldn't recommend you read it but I'm not stopping you, either. Read at your own risk. • • • Copyright © 2017 by -moonlust.

"Listen, I've got a proposition for you," Azure's firm voice flew across the soft wind of the graveyard, "something mutually beneficial." Elliot stepped back slightly, "I doubt that." Azure stepped closer and the street light flickered; he then whispered, it was soft, like the fall of dead leaves, "I can help you keep your scholarship. Don't you want to keep your dream a reality?" Elliot narrowed his eyes, "Did you do a background check on me?" "That doesn't answer my question." "And that didn't answer mine." (Abridged) -/- Life had never been fair to Elliot. After barely managing to scrape by, he somehow made it to his junior year at Central Haven, one of the most prestigious preparatory high schools in the country. He was prepared for another two tiresome years of high school, but the future has other plans for him. The start of the school year brings with it the infamous Central Haven merit project. Unfortunately, it's done in pairs this year. Even worse, he's stuck with Azure, notorious for his flippant demeanor. His living situation gets worse and his scholarship is at risk. Azure notices Elliot's struggles and the two make a deal. Surely Azure's up to something, but what? Regardless, Elliot isn't in a position to refuse. ...Maybe they'll find and lose Liberation. -/- If you're unsure about this reading this story, I hope you'll at least stick around to chapter 7 when the story begins ramping up. This story is a slow burn, enemies to friends to lovers. Please do not take this story at surface value as there is a lot of subtext. Be aware: the story can be extremely subtle. The story delves into various topics with social commentary so if you want a nuanced modern romance story, I highly suggest you give this story a try. Elliot is a strong protagonist, just less traditional. Updates will come on Fridays at 4 p.m. (PST) with most months having at least one update. The ending is planned so the story won't be incomplete.

When seventeen-year-old Aniya is beginning to give up on her silly crush, fate brings them together in the same house after a freak accident. Aniya has been through a lot but this was the most unexpected. Victor Simon is your typical student. He gets good grades, respectful to his teachers, and does well in school. He wasn't interested in wasting his time with many friends or girls. His agitation then grows when he finds that the girl he rejected two years ago comes to live with his family. Little did he know how much his life would change in that exact time frame. - "I hate you," I gritted my teeth, a tear daring to slip out. I stepped backwards tying to get away but my back collided against the door. He took another step trapping me in between his arms. My heart thudded loudly in my chest as he brought his face closer to mine with a proud smirk playing out on his lips. The room was dark but I could still see the outline of his face, his eyes, his lips. Fuck. His alluring cologne graced my senses, but clouded my brain as he inched closer to me. "You sure about that?" He raised an eyebrow, amusement evident in his tone. ----- #1 - interracial - 1/27/22 #1 - hot - 2/26/23 #1 - drama - 6/2/22 #1 - cold - 3/3/23 #2 - teenromance - 5/21/22 #2 - tutor - 2/21/22 ----- This book is inspired by the manga series Itazura Na Kiss.

Mitsuba Sousuke. You've probably heard of him before, right? Obviously, as a social media influencer, he's bound to be famous. Within the sight of his radiant salmon-colored locks, same as his pink orbs, no one can resist his cuteness. If you think that because of his popularity he might had tons of supportive friends, well, you're wrong. Because behind that façade, it's where the cocky, feminine and narsiscistic personality of his reside. He lets his sharp tongue roll and scare people away. That's the reason why he didn't had friends― real friends at least. He did have one, a real friend, but it was from a long time ago. They've cut connections after they finished the middle of high school. He can remember vividly the sight of his shining blonde hair and ocean blue eyes. The lively personality of his which attracted him. Even breaking through the walls he put up around him, he accepted him, unlike everybody else. Mitsuba did all he can to find him once more, but.. Well, not everything works according to plan after all.

A riddle of lies  (saiki k x reader) by androidTG600
16 parts Complete
You get sent to another universe and don't remember anything, except your age, some sort of riddle that you don't even remember all of, and the whereabouts of the high school you're going to, and the name of the school. (pk academy, obviously) Saiki can't read your mind so he's obviously intrigued, he knows that you're not as stupid as Nendou, so there's got to be something to read, right? But for some reason he just, can't, the only way to find out what you are is to figure out from you directly instead of just reading your mind. On top of him not being able to read your mind, there's something off about you, which intrigues him even more. He figures that you're going to talk to him eventually, I mean you're already stalking him. But things change and now you see and talk to him everyday, even the weekends. Just an FYI there will be NO lemons, some fanfics that I read don't clear that up so I'm going to, we all know our precious psychic cinnamon roll won't stand for that shit the characters may be out of character, because idk how to do characters based off the anime. But I do try, there may be some grammar and spelling mistakes I will try to go back and to fix them. I might only upload some chapters, and I might even drop the book for awhile or just in general if I do I'm sorry. I might end up making this a romcom but I haven't decided where the story is going yet. And also I do not own the saiki k series or characters except (Y/N) (more or less, you own the character but I own the storyline, y'all know what I mean) Also another FYI I'm going to be going back and fixing and changing little details in the chapters, probably a lot because I have the writing skills of a 2 year old. And also I am going to be designing the look of your character because I can, deal with it.

She is homeschooled, has no real friends of her own, unless you count her tutor, and has zero connections outside her parents social circle. Eva is expected to go to lavish social events, smile prettily at rich boys, be Steven-Hawking-smart, look and act absolutely perfect, obey every command and never step a toe out of line. Workaholic, self absorbed, money loving parents don't make for a loving environment. She's not like them, she can't stand it. They may be rich and successful, sure. But no human can live like this. A golden cage is still a cage, and Eva wants to spread her wings. Confined to her parents rules and lifestyle, Eva can only bend so much before she breaks. She's 17 and angry.

They want to give her away to a man with a crooked smirk and roaming eyes. She can't do it anymore. So she runs away. She finds Logan, a boy of the projects. He's worn down and broken, but under the layers he's swathed himself in since the death of his mother, there is a lively, loving person. Genuine, attractive, and kind, he's Eva's first outside friend. He can take her away and they can both escape. Anyone can go just about anywhere with a stolen 15 grand in their backpack. Follow Eva and Logan on a 12 destination trip across the country and find out if their friendship blooms into something more.
