Six years ago, he met a girl who showed him a whole new world. The next day, she was gone. 
  
  James is a mediocre guy. Except, he's not your mediocre guy. He's the most mediocre guy in the world. When James' girlfriend breaks up with him, he's left wondering what in the world is wrong with him.    
  Deciding that he needs an escape to his mundane life, he goes on a road trip across the country, chasing after clues to find the girl he had long forgotten. What disguised as a random goose chase is actually a journey of self discovery, and he realizes that maybe being unremarkable is actually quite remarkable in itself.

Memories in Addition by FlorenceEdurot

In a world where everyone had a past life at least once and remembered every single bit of it, Joyce had wound up with just fragments of these past events unlike everyone else. The people in Palliola had been amazing philosophers, prophets, scientists, warriors and rulers. Which is why it utterly baffled her to find that she had been wound up as a classmate in this talented section as well. She wasn't someone important...was she? And why does one of them look at her as if he'd known her somewhere? And what's the deal with these artifacts and this video? It's not that important, is it? And why are her schoolmates and classmates dying? Why doesn't anyone do anything about this?! Join Joyce and her friends as they find out the truth behind the secrets of the school! Surely, chaos and madness will ensue! And there's one more thing... "There are traitors in our midst." Well, crud.

The Girl Who Couldn't Kill by katieypw

Rory Peng has always fantasized about murder. On the outside, Rory is the ideal student, philosophically smart and independent of her own problems. On the contrary, she doesn't really stand out at her American High School in Taiwan. There was just something about Rory's life that was strangely normal and bleak. She was ordinary looking, accompanied by average grades and normal parents. So when she witnesses the aftermath of a homicide in the elevator of her dormitory, she comes face to face with her dark obsession, and her guilt melts into a frenzied panic. She is desperate to find the sadistic killer and is certain it had something to do with the wide-eyed boy hovering before the fresh corpse. Rory is determined to befriend this boy and live the dream that both haunted and exhilarated her. Will she finally find a deeper meaning in her life? Or will she forever drown in the pity of her own guilt?

Crush Me (Editing) by Antonellaaa_V

It's always the same with that stupid "no one dates my sister" rule! No one touches her, no one looks at her, and apparently, no one even thinks about her. But what about me? Have they even thought for a second how this is completely destroying my chances at love? Does he ever wonder how much it hurts? Hello, I have feelings here! Anahi's life hasn't been a free ride-she works hard for everything she gets. But when it comes to love? It's like she's cursed. Why? Four words: James. Her. Overprotective. Brother. So, what happens when Anahi starts falling for one of his best friends? Will he actually like her back, or will she get stuck in the friend zone like she's got a VIP pass? Will James finally let her date one of his friends, or will he continue being the world's most unnecessary bodyguard?

MY HIDDEN THERAPY by Quillweaver05

Hey everyone! I'm excited to share that I'm working on a love story. Writing has always been a passion of mine, and this story allows me to create a world born from my imagination. The characters are entirely fictional: while I've envisioned the male lead distinctly, the female lead shares some similarities with me. This story revolves around a sweet high school romance between two top students. The male lead is an egoistic character who unexpectedly falls for a girl who often battles self-doubt and has a quick temper. I'm eager to explore how these two meet and develop a beautiful relationship filled with love and friendship, ultimately becoming each other's unrecognized source of support. I hope to bring my imagination to life through this narrative and that you will enjoy reading it as much as I enjoy writing it!

Cynical Souls by DramaQueenforreal

COMPLETED✅ Two high school teenagers finding themselves, analyzing this ever changing world, and building love. This is the type of love you wish you found in high school but probably know way too well that it only exists as fiction. Today I'm turning my fiction to reality. ❣️•••❣️ Excerpt: Just as I was about to seek shelter under some building's roof, the tires of a car come to a halt, I wonder who might pity the lonely girl walking in the rain. The passenger window rolls down, and I spot the most unexpected person seated behind the wheel. "Get in" comes out his voice, and I must've stood there agape for a few moments because next comes his rhetorical question. "Are you getting in or continuing walking in the rain?" Eyebrows raised expectantly. He sounds annoyed, like he regrets his decision to ever stop and help me. ❣️•••❣️ #5 in cynical #2 in loveandfriendship #1 in opinionated #4 in ihatelife #10 in nerdgirl #10 in HighschoolRomance #26 in GoodGirlBadBoy *contains mature themes. *contains cursing.

The second in the Gone trilogy. Sequel to Gone. ❝If it's meant to be, they'll come back. ❞ I knew how I wanted my love story to play out. Only, this pesky thing called life got in the way of things and messed everything up. I messed everything up, which caused restless nights for myself due to my innervating thoughts. It was my fault, but I had my reasons. Still, I was stupid. How could I have hurt her like this? We make decisions irrationally sometimes, which cause pain upon others - only we don't realise it at the time. Yet, we're human. We are allowed to do these things, right? I'm going to rectify my mistakes. Emma, I'm back. [HIGHEST- #205 13/09/2015] Cover by my dear friend John. Finished editing in February 2016.

An Unexpected Moment by caromerri

... that changes everything Sarah was starting her junior year of high school. Looking at herself in the mirror, she saw a pretty average blonde haired, blue eyed, teenager. She was neither in the popular group, nor one of the many cliched outsiders. Sarah was a nobody. She liked to blend in and lay low. It was her way out of not only this town, but her house. No one knew it, but her father was a high functioning alcoholic that often took his anger out on his family. With her older sister now in college, it had turned to her more often. Laying low in general was a good strategy. Across town, Ryan was prepping for his final year in high school. While he wasn't the stereotypical quarterback of the football team, he did fit into the popular crowd. His sports of choice included basketball and soccer, either of which might line him up for a scholarship next year. Ryan had a group of close friends and a lot of adoring acquaintances. It wasn't easy juggling his athletics and keeping the grades up, but he was just that good. The supporting parents didn't hurt either. It might be a cliché romance, but it will be fun to see what the year and beyond holds. ------------------------------------------ This is a story I wrote years ago, or at least partially wrote. As I transcribe it here, I have tried to update it a bit and give the characters/story more depth than what I had when I was younger. Hopefully it all gets pulled together!

Things Left Unsaid | ✓ by infallibles

❝That's the thing about love. It isn't going to be easy, it isn't going to be smooth, but it's going to be worth it. Because sometimes you have to take the plunge. And you never know if you'll make it out again.❞ Maybe it's the way he looked at her that day in kindergarten or maybe it's the way he was there for her all those years. Whatever it was, somewhere along the way Kaylee fell for Dylan - hard. She soon realizes, however, that feelings can be misinterpreted and fate often doesn't play in her favor. When a rift forms between the two, all hope seems lost and Kaylee is forced to move on. But later, when fate finally decides to twist in her favor, Kaylee is given a second chance to fix their romance. As the two work through resetting their relationship, they soon learn that friendships often don't go as planned, relationships aren't actually that simple, and words are not always easily said. And in the end, everything may just crash and burn. ******************************************* Warning: Read at your own risk! This is my first story on Wattpad (which I wrote when I was 14), so you know what that means - cringe, plot holes, and errors. It's not the most well-written; there are decent chapters and bad chapters. I hope you decide to give this story a chance anyways, though.
