this was the beginning and the end
the best and worst year
when they told her this year was going to be hard, she never thought it would be this hard
*****
Ophelia is seventeen, and about to enter her last year of high school. This year was meant to be everything that the past 12 years of schooling has prepared her for, this was it. She knew that this year was meant to be tough -- the pressure is on. But some things, she was not prepared for.
She never meant for her eating disorder to haunt her
She never meant for anxiety and stress to plague her mind
But mostly, she never meant to fall for a girl

A Different Kind of Love
Max was very different -- but in a unique way. That much Justin could figure out. He just couldn't figure out what was different about her. There was something about her that drew him closer and he just had to figure that out. But what happened when he found out? Did he discover he was way in over his head? Max tried to stay to himself for the most part. He hated the idea of someone calling him a girl to his face. Just the mere thought sent him in a spiral -- he wanted to take the thing out of his pocket to make him focus on something else. But he didn't. Often. Especially since he noticed the kind-eyed kid in the front of his class noticing him more and more. He didn't know what the boy wanted -- he didn't think it could be good. But what happened when he decided to trust him? Would he regret it? *Rated mature because of the topic -- there will also be self-harm and cussing and other things like that.
