School goes a little too differently for Won Lee this year. THE Ms. Popular, the gorgeous, flawless person with a big mixed friend group that everyone wanted to be, secretly doesn't live up to everyone's expectations. On the inside, she is merely an empty shell who doesn't see a purpose in life.

All Won does is go with the flow and create a forced character for herself based on everyone's expectations. In her mind a question is constantly slipping in like a wisp of smoke, igniting into a flame that burns-

"What are we searching for, really?"

While desperately, subconsciously searching for something, anything, perhaps someone to fulfil her desire for reasons, Won pays attention to new things waltzing into her life: the "infamous" and "perfect" Mason Kim, the pure and kind swoon material Austin Cheng, and Mr. Takashiro, alluring to all. As Won unfolds the millions of paper-thin layers to them, will she finally find what she's looking for?

A Change of Heart by Slendytubbie11
12 parts Ongoing
When someone believes that they know what they want, sometimes the human heart asks for so much more, even if they just don't know it yet. For as long as he could remember, he was always the person who believed that he didn't need anyone to be there with him to get through the days. Now, seventeen-year-old Evermore student Zak-Neo Amberwell still chooses to think that way. With his stone-cold glares and blunt comments, he knows that he will never find anyone who would be in their right mind to spend a day with him and consider him a "friend," and he is willing to accept this as a simple fact. For as long as he could remember, he was always the person that he felt no one wanted to be around, afraid he stuck out in a bad way. All Tai Reed wanted, as an Evermore Secondary High School student at seventeen, was to have a friend that he could spend his time with. However, with his love of anime and questionable choices, he is afraid that he will never be able to meet someone that would enjoy his company. When Zak-Neo has a run in with Tai, the two learn something that they never thought would be possible. For Zak-Neo, it really is possible for someone like him to find people that can understand the drawbacks in his mannerisms, even if it means meeting a unique variety of individuals who are willing to do so. For Tai, it is possible for him to find someone who will stand by his side no matter what and is willing to support him through whatever troubles he has, even if it means he has to confront his own emotions to keep these friendships. This is meant to be a coming-of-age fictional story about two people who meet for the first time, finding comfort and companionship in each other, providing support for one another through their toughest moments of hardship, and realizing that what they thought they wanted could grow into so much more; that is the wonder of the human heart. ***This story is currently a work-in-progress | May contain swearing***
