The Other Side of Ordinary by childishgenius

In The Other Side of Ordinary, 18-year-old Elias Garcia has always felt like he lives under the weight of his own reflection. Born with a facial birth defect, he's been accustomed to the stares, whispers, and the feeling of not quite fitting in. Growing up in a small town, Eli was never able to shake the constant sense of being "different," and he doubts anyone could ever see beyond his appearance to the person he really is. Now, starting university, Eli is ready to keep his head down, focus on his studies, and avoid the social pitfalls that plagued him in high school. But when he meets Amara, a spirited and kind-hearted art student, he's caught off guard by her warmth and curiosity. Amara doesn't seem fazed by his appearance; in fact, she seems drawn to his sharp wit and gentle soul. For the first time, Eli begins to question whether he's truly unworthy of love and acceptance. As their friendship grows into something more, Eli is forced to confront his deepest insecurities and the walls he's built to keep people out. Through laughter, shared struggles, and small acts of courage, Eli learns that love isn't about being flawless- it's about being seen. And maybe, just maybe, he might be brave enough to let someone see him for who he really is.

Love is just a word until someone comes along and gives it a memory... You know you're in love when you can say anything to the person and you know they won't laugh at you. When you can see their face when you close your eyes. When you can still feel their arms around you holding you tight after they're gone. When you can still taste their kiss after you have said goodbye. You can tell you're in love when you miss them before they're gone. When their voice lingers in your ears. When their presence eases any pain. When their name sends chills down your spin. When they're the only thing you can think about. You know you're in love when you can see all their hopes and dreams and their soul when you look into their eyes. When they call you at four in the morning to say, "I Love You" and mean it. When your tears stain not only their shirt, but also their heart. When even a simple chore done with them can become a lasting memory. Ultimately, you know you're in love when you can't imagine living without them and can't figure how did you live before you knew them. When they fulfill every need and without them you're incomplete. The love of someone else completes the heart, and sound and mind all at once. 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟓, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟎-𝐟𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝟏𝟎, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟏

True love waits by IamReneeHopkins

Instantly my face becomes straight in dead seriousness as I clear my throat."You shouldn't be seen with me anyways." Arching his beautiful eye brows you could tell he was generally confused, almost like he wasn't aware of the rules. "Why not?" Noah questioned. "Oh, come on don't pretend you don't notice I'm black!" "I'm fully aware that you're black, but that doesn't tell me why I can't be seen with you!" Sighing as I rolled my eyes I explain. "Certain folks around here don't take to kindly when our people mingle!" "Oookkkaaayyy-who cares what certian people around here thinks?" Shaking my head as I rolled my eyes once again, he just didn't get it."Look, I've seen what happens when certain people catches guys like you, talking to girls like me, I don't know you all that well, but no one deserves that type of beating." "I don't like being told who I can and can't be interested in." "Nobody does." In this love story Scarlett a black woman unintentionally goes against the social norms when she falls in love with Noah a white man in a town that is permanently stuck in the 1950's segregation in the south type era, only thing is, its not the 1950's, it 2018.

BLACK AMERICAN PRINCESS (BWWM INTERRACIAL) by xoxlaughinxox

Sixteen-year-old Cecily Scott thinks she's just a normal Paris-raised teen with a sharp tongue, a love for croissants, and an annoying little brother. But when her parents summon her and Derrick to America, they drop a royal-sized bomb: Cecily is actually Princess Cecilia Lisaria Joy Bethyssa Scott of Archwin. Cue: marble-floored mansions, a private chauffeur, and enough etiquette lessons to make her want to scream into her canopy bed. Cecily is determined to keep her sarcasm sharp and her crown crooked-until Prince Matthew, the ridiculously charming (and equally royal) heir of another powerful family, enters the picture. Between dodging her mom's endless rules, battling Derrick's antics, and figuring out if Matt is an ally or just another spoiled prince, Cecily's world tilts into glittery chaos. Being a princess isn't all gowns and galas. It's secrets, expectations, whispered alliances... and maybe a forbidden romance that could change everything. Black American Princess is a witty, swoony, and refreshingly bold YA rom-com about discovering who you are-whether you wear a tiara or not.
