Jason is nineteen-year-old uni student with a chronic case of insomnia. Emily is a seventeen-year-old high school girl with sporadic bursts of crippling anxiety.   

The two live in different worlds, but when they meet at a pop-up-punk concert, Jason just can't let her go.     

He had tried nearly every thinkable cure for his disorder, but in the end, all it took was a mixtape, seven phone calls, and a very special girl to get Jason to sleep.

You Are the Shell to My Tortoise | ✓ by LotteStarburst

Nolan, an unapproachable guy who ignores the existence of all his schoolmates, sleeps in all of his classes. Normally, this wouldn't be Chelsea Arnold's problem--she does her best to pay attention in class and attends gym like a good, normal student. Unfortunately, she just so happens to be his assigned desk partner in many classes. She's frequently forced to wake him in English class and ends up earning the unofficial title of Nolan's Wake-up Alarm--a title that nobody in the entire school covets. The last thing she wants is to interact with him more than she absolutely has to. One day, their gym teacher sends her to bring him back to class, which he always skips for some reason. When she accidentally shines her flashlight in his sleeping face, it triggers a chain of events that gradually intertwines their lives together. It's hard to be a normal student when you start befriending the school oddball. It doesn't help that he has more secrets than the Big Ben has stairs. ----- Complete.

STATIC (LGBT) by kewk123

Alex is not shy, she's simply following her rules to hide in the background of life in general. Or at least she's doing her best to be 'at the fardest end of the social spectrum' Strictly reserved to her own things that vary from music to... pretty much anything related to that, Alex lives the normal life of a highschool student who doesn't wish to engage in deep conversations with no one. Not even her family even though ocassionaly she has to. One day around the middle of the school year, she coicidentially (yeah right. I wrote it :D) is asked by a new beautiful girl the simple favor of helping her find the exit of the school building. Of course, you could expect her to try to avoid her, wouldn't you? === So this is the new story guys! So excited. Kewk :3 P.S. I don't own any of the songs that I use in this book, they're just for the sake of the storyline as I really enjoy music very much and I wish for it to be included in my books.

Rewind... by galaxy_svt

"She is a boy?" "No. He is a girl" "Whatttt!!!!" ********* This is the story of a cool nerd, Kate. Now you know where the story's going? A cool nerd fell in love with the bad boy and changed him? No ways. How cliche is that. She is actually forced by circumstances to disguise herself as her brother and live in an only boys dorm. Where she met her long lost love (sarcasm) Jason. Now you would say that he tormented her but eventually fell in love with her? Hey it's not that cliche as well. No more secrets are opening readers. Please read the book to know what's not the cliche part in it?. Thank You ❤
