"Twenty fours hours" she says nodding "I'll make you fall in love with life in twenty four hours."

I scoff.

"Is that a challenge?"

She smiles.

"No, it's a promise." 

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Ruth is full of life. She's your typical party girl. She is a people's person -outgoing and carefree. According to her this world is full of possibilities. Her optimistic nature can be contagious.

Oliver is fed up. He is forlorn in nature. Self depreciative. Self destructive. Everything negative but still reeks of the same arrogant attitude akin to any rich boy his age.

And one day, they meet. 

[I try not to reveal much in my synopsis so read and find out for yourself. Written in dual POV]

"that's rich coming from a pretty boy" I narrow my eyes. "I'm not a pretty boy." He smirks standing from the desk and reaching forward twirling a piece of my hair between his fingers. "not in the traditional sense no...but you still bleed daddy's money" I reach up gripping his wrist, maybe harder then necessary; suddenly angry. "you don't know me Jasper, don't pretend you do" He sucks in a breath before leaning forward and putting his mouth next to my ear "I know you're so desperate for me, you can't fucking think straight" My breath catches and my eyes flick up meeting his not believing I heard what I did, but there's no denying it when he pushes me against his door and his lips meet my own hungry, angry, frustrated. ••• Jasper Collins is not expecting to ever step foot inside Balton's Boys School. A private behavioural school for those who can afford it, but after one too many expulsions and a scholarship opportunity Jasper finds himself stuck in a place filled with pretty boys who've done nothing worse then forget to shine their silver spoon. Beckett Chambers took on a mentorship position at Balton's to stay away from home. He could care less about status and social image he just wants to find a way out of Manning Heights and Balton's was supposed to be his safe haven until then.

Tired of Lies by MissYanxiet
25 parts Complete
*(COMPLETED) "The worst thing about being lied to is knowing you weren't worth the truth." He bit his lip. "I wanted to te-" His eyes began to water and as a single tear fell he looked at me and said "but what if you've been lying for so long you don't know how to tell the truth?" "I have and so will you." He shook his head, shut his eyes, and leaned his forehead against the glass. "And here I was thinking you would admit that you don't tell the truth either." I gripped the telephone as my knuckles turned white. "What do you mean?" "Come on Zoey I've seen you sneaking around acting like you're busy. You're hiding something and you won't tell me." All Zoey Campbell ever wanted to do was keep her head down and get through high school. Too bad it isn't that easy. Zoey is tired of everything and everyone. She is tired of being pushed around and tired of watching in the shadows. She is tired of pretending to like that girl that doesn't even know her name. Tired of pretending that she is ok when she isn't. She is constantly hoping for a better way out thinking she should just disappear. All she wants to do is scream but no matter how loud she screams no one can hear her. Don't worry things just get worse. Everyone thinks she's a "sick" girl and just another suicide case waiting to happen. I mean what kind of girl sits by herself everyday right? Zoey is running out of time and she thinks no one has tried to help her until her "special" speech in class. No one really cares about what she really thinks anyway. It just that feeling of pity. Everyone thinks she really is sick but she knows she's not. But what if she is? Maybe all it takes is that one thing to make her snap. As her life gets thrown into chaos and deep dark secrets she can't help but try to figure out the truth. Will she find a way to let her new friends save her or will she just end up as another suicide case? *Disclaimer wrote this in 2017 when I was 14.
The Fuck List by trickst3r4gabri3l
19 parts Ongoing Mature
Blake McDermott; a senior at Darwin High has a reputation, and not a desirable one. After his girlfriend broke up with him in front of the entire school, leaving him humiliated, he decided to come up with a game of revenge. He had to make girls fall in love with him, sleep with him, then break their hearts. But when Asher Miller, the school's artsy, quiet, openly gay kid comes into the picture, the rules suddenly change after Blake realizes all the girls are too easy. In order to give him a real challenge, his friends want him to score Asher as his own. The catch? He needs to do it before school lets out and dump Asher on prom while also completing his list of all the girls in the school. Blake agrees, thinking it would be an easy win. However, Blake is homophobic and sleeping with a guy would never be something he would do or something he even considered... or is it? What would happen if one of Blake's previous lovers came back into his life? What would happen if Blake falls for Asher and finds himself trapped in a love triangle? This is "The Fuck List." Similar to a bucket-list, "The Fuck List" is made to be completed within a certain amount of time. Unlike the rest of one's life for a bucket-list, there is only two years for the fuck list to be completed. Warning- This book contains strong language, sexual content(consensual), homophobic slurs, as well as alcohol and drug use. Small mentions of depression and suicide will be in here as well. This book may not be suitable for those who get easily offended by such. However, if you do choose to read, that is totally fine! Just be sure to vote and comment and share the book.

Ethan went to boarding school every year, he didn't love it but it was better than staying home. Every year it was the same, maybe some new classes but he kept the same routine, same friends, and same self-loathing behavior. Things change when Julian starts extending St. Eve's Academy. Everything about him draws Ethan in, his dark hair and sickly pale skin, his quiet demeanor, and his dark eyes that always stared at him. Ethan goes out of his way to talk to him but Julian prefers to keep to himself. A tale as old as time, two kids stuck together at some school, two kids with bad families, and two kids who need each other but have to work past their own issues to finally be happy. --------- blurb - "I was going to ask if you wanted to go for a smoke, but your hair is all wet," Julian said taking in the droplets of water that were left on Ethan's neck, some trailed down his throat, teasing Julian. "So?" "So... You'll get sick." "Now you care if I get sick?" Ethan gave him an amused face, a smile tugging at his lips. "No," Julian sighed composing himself, "Do you want to smoke or not?" Julian said with an edge to his voice. "Sure," Ethan raised his eyebrows and followed Julian outside. -------------- started: 12/3/22 ended: 7/19/23 search "stuck (together)" for a playlist on spotify :) also heads up with story isn't very plot heavy more just watching their relationship together and it develop. also the is not at all an accurate display of addiction #smokingisnotcooldontdoit but seriously don't yell at me bc of how unrealistic their smoking habits are it's just for funnies :P also sexual content lmao read at your own discretion :D rankings - #2 in bxblove - #1 in gayfiction - #1 in badfamily -#2 in gay -#1 in darkacademia -#1 in gayness
Help Me Pick Up The Pieces {Completed} (GirlXGirl) [TeacherXStudent] by Whatever81
73 parts Complete Mature
*Destined to Be series book one. Not necessary to read Book one before book two.* Achievements: #1 in Lesbianromance [August 14th, 2019] #4 in Lesbian [September 30th, 2019] #5 in GirlxGirl [August 26, 2019] Avery has had a tough life, a very tough life. She feels like the universe is forever against her. And never thought that, even after everything she's endured, she would ever get her 'Happily Ever After'. Then one day she thinks it may be possible. The woman she had been in love with for years, finally returns her feelings. Avery was finally happy, the woman she loved so much for so long, finally loved her back. Her 'Happily Ever After' was within reach. At least that's what she thought, until the woman managed to shatter Avery's already broken heart into a million pieces. Months later, the wound still fresh, she packs up her stuff and moves back to the city where she was born. She thinks being in a different city and reconnecting with her childhood best friend, will help her heal. But, nothing seems to change at all. At least not until one night about 2 months later. Her friend drags her to a club. To get her friend off her back, she finds a girl to pick up. She expected for it to be a one night stand and that was it but she desperately wants to see the woman again. And she ends up getting her wish but the next time they see each other it's in one of the most unexpected of situations. Just when she was starting to think that she might be able to be happy again, it all goes to crap. Her life seems to be a never ending string of heart break. Maybe the whole universe really is against her. Warning: This story's going to get a bit dark/depressing. And even though it's clearly labeled as such but I still feel I need to say this is a mature girlxgirl story so there will be sex. Also don't read if you have a problem w/ the word fuck because I use it quite liberally.
My Dear Reader Rebecca by philpw99
8 parts Complete
What will you do, when you have only 5 days left, before a dead-or-alive challenge happens? Rebecca is having a highly risky brain surgery next week. Time is extremely precious for her. Yet she chooses to finish reading a book, which is unfortunately mine. I am a failing writer whose stories go nowhere. There are still two more chapters to write for this book, but I am having a writer's block. I visit her in the hospital, and greatly inspired by her courage under the unfortunate circumstances. However, can I finish the book in time for her? I'll try my best. Once again, my mind flies back to the post-apocalypse world of my fiction, searching for a way to end the book properly... ...... This is an attempt to mix comedy with tragedy. Some content is quite heavy, like cancer, depression, sick patients...etc. So prepare a tissue, just in case. I wrote and posted the first 3 chapters 4 years ago, yet due to my stupidity and insensitivity, I lost a dear friend over this story, which I regretted deeply. The idea was first inspired by another friend, who gave me some first hand experience of a cancer patient. Can't thank her enough. It's totally my fault that this story was delayed for so long. It's simply too good to waste, and not fair for her priceless contribution. There are also various things inspired by different friends online, who once bared their souls to me. Sincerely appreciate their friendship. It has totally 8 chapters. Each one has about 2000 to 3000 words. Disclaimer: Everything here is fake, never happened and completely fabricated by my wild imagination. The story has nothing to do with Wattpad or any website, because seriously, nothing is real here. If someone happens to have a similar experience, that's just coincidence. Copyrights of Becca Franco, Bill Cadogan and "The 100" TV series belongs to The CW Network.
