Around the late 1950s racism and segregation was very much alive. Blacks and whites were completely separated, whether it were the doors they walked through to the fountains they drank from. This inequality pushed others to take cruel words, violent actions, and oppression to the next level.
And even though there were lots who wished for this madness to end, not many were brave enough to take a stand. Naveah Johnson did not like that fact at all. She was only seen as a brash, 'unintelligent', 17-year-old black girl but regardless of how she was viewed Naveah wanted to make a change.
Therefore, if attending an all whites school with 8 other black students was what she needed to do to get the peace talk across, then damn it, she'd do it! Naveah would focus her whole life on making integration happen if she has to. So will she continue to repeatedly turn away the love of Ethan Turner for reasons 'unknown'? Will she let her goals cause her to lose out in life?
What will she do?

The American (BWWM)
"What?" Ethan says in his all too familiar deep, rude voice. Ethan has pitch-black hair, is 6 feet tall, with a solid build. His deep grey eyes are glaring at me right now. His jawline is so sharp I'm sure it can cut through anything. "You hit me, spilling my coffee all over me," I say, pointing out the obvious. "So, what do you want me to do about it?" he asks, like he's done nothing wrong. "You're supposed to say sorry," I say in a duh tone. "And why should I?" "Because that's what people with manners do." "I know that, but you don't deserve a sorry from me." "Wow. And why is that?" "Because black bitches like you don't deserve it," he says with a sneer. "I have told you times without number to stop calling me that," I say, angry at his insults. "Make me," Ethan says, taking a dangerous step closer. I don't say anything but hiss and walk past him. I don't know why I expected him to apologize. It's Ethan, after all. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ethan is a young male about to get his first degree, he might look normal to the world, but don't we all have our demons inside. Ethan has a problem that he feels hatred is the best way to cure it, but one lady proves him wrong.

A/N: Just as a reminder. I am not a cliche person. I do do cliche topics but they all have a Rissa twist. Check it out, and I hope ya'll enjoy. __________________________________________________ He is the Alpha. I am the "runt". He is night. I am day. He is popular. I am the nerd. He likes me as his best friend. I love him more than that. When I found out that he was my mate, I was ecstatic and worried. Worried why? Well because, I Sam Carter was not something that people would call "mate" material and with too much baggage that I don't let on. So, when my mate told me that he didn't know if wanted me or not because I didn't "shift", I did the only thing I could think of. I left. And, on that journey, I learned more about myself, found some great friends, made some enemies, and learned about so called grandmother that was the same as me. He could either accept me or reject me, and he didn't choose yet. I don't know. Maybe I will choose for him, and I was sure that he wasn't going to like the answer. _______________________________________ NOTE: IF YOU READ THIS BOOK ON ANY OTHER APP BESIDES WATTPAD THEN IT IS COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT.
