One-Way Mirror is a story about a teenager struggling with depression and is trying to cope with life. Every morning he has to wake up and put on a mask to present himself to the world as being "normal", even though, despite everything he does, he does not feel that way. He has never felt that way. He has always felt alone. He has always felt invisible. He has always felt like he does not fit in anywhere, he feels like an outsider.. Just looking through the window, watching everyone else be happy. He is able to see them, but, they cannot see him...

Her life is far from perfect. No parents, over protective big brother, few friends, and Asher Norman, the bad boy who won't stop picking on her. Could life get any worse for Cassidy?Complete

The Best Kind of Betrayal
It's the first day of June's senior year and everything is already going wrong.

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.

Cynical Souls
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.Complete

Viciously in Love
Check out my Instagram page: gold_n_dark for aesthetics and songs for the chapters. One in a million. The chances of them meeting were one in a million. And yet... They met. And more came. Neither of them met love until now. Each one had different reasons. One was too stubborn, arrogant, heartless and careless to want love; the other one was too kind, happy, hopefull, optimist and dreamy to see the love around her. Maybe that's why they attracted each other. Because they completed each other. The good - her - and the bad - him. But not quite... She could also be strubborn, grumpy, proud, impulsive; and he... he would be wearing a mask. A mask which made him seem harsh and impassive. But once he would take the mask off, it would relieve the wounds, the pain, the worries, the hope and above all, the love. They have many things in common and at the same time they are completely different. They could've not met, and yet they did. They could've not fallen in love, and yet they did. They could've forget and move on, and yet, they couldn't. In Nicole and Jake's story, at the beginning everything is about hate and how they can't stand each other, about how they would give anything to not be near each other. But everything ends with love and about love. Their love. And how it consumes them and it drives them insane. But they love that. This is their story. Nicole and Jake's story. It's about love: being in love and loving someone; about being broken and hurt and hurting the people around you; about growing up and becoming an adult. It's about being human.Complete
