Oakland High is a normal school, except for the fact that it has its very own gossip blog run by an anonymous student at the school. Rich, popular girl May Adleigh never thought much of the blog until she was swept up into a buzzing rumor that she was dating shy, and bullied outcast Owen Wagner. 

But when Owen becomes an even bigger target for bullying because of the rumor, May decides to take action to save him by pretending that the rumor is true. 

The only problem is, May and Owen might not have been prepared for the whirlwind life can be, and they certainly weren't prepared to face the struggles together.

~ A story of how one person can change your life in ways you never thought possible if you can simply find the courage to let them. ~

Her brows furrowed. "You look like you have something specific you wanna ask me." The tips of Liam's ears turned red at Emma's very accurate observation. "I, uh... I usually just bullshit my way through projects, so I have no idea what the hell I'm doing." The corners of Emma's lips formed a small smile. Liam arched his brow. "What are you smiling at?" Her smile widened. "Nothing." Ever since Emma started going to Silver Creek High, she's been bullied over her discolored eyes. It all started when a boy brought attention to her in biology class one day, laughing at her and calling her a "freak" while the rest of the class laughed along with him. She never looked at him or saw his face; she just ran out of the room crying. She was now an outcast labeled as a freak and she wanted nothing more than to just disappear. She felt she had no purpose in life. Until her sophomore year when she fell in love with Liam, the guy every girl wanted; the guy every dude wanted to be.

HOW TO MAKE DIAMONDS by brzlbaby

(HTMD - Short story with somewhat sensitive content) "Seats taken." "Yeah sure, I'll leave when your many buddies arrive to fill them." Sarcasm, her favorite form of expression. She's no stranger to annoying popular girls trying to diminish her. School bad boys were no different. He had the looks, the attitude, probably some disgusting stories under his belt, and a few notches on his bedpost, but she was previously known as the school's slut - before becoming the one you should pity if you didn't want to look like a heartless monster -, that's enough to teach someone some surviving high school tricks. And the number of dumb comments thrown at her daily gave our beautiful girl a backbone and smart mouth that Jade wasn't scared to use. Moody, annoyed, witty, and rude was almost her default mode in situations like these. But she was still new, she didn't fully know the ropes and the ins and outs of this school. She didn't know Kyle and Kyle didn't know her. He was stunned. Curious about the only person since that particular day in sophomore year to dare say a word back to him. After all, sending his girlfriend's brother to the hospital was enough to scare all but Carter away. In fact, if it wasn't for Miss Maya, her hidden favoritism, and knowledge of the true reason why the fight happened in the first place, he would have been expelled on the spot.
