The Maia and Ross Diaries by fabulousgreys

If you met Maia you'd think of her as the same as anyone you've ever met. The girl on the magazine, and for a while, just for a while she wanted to believe the same thing. But she was different. The young girl does lose something that makes a life feel much looser, including their status, but there is always a boy, who won't give up. So eventually she has to stand up and take being stuck between guy crazy best friends who become her people, the guy, the dad who moves too fast, the sister who conceals her pain, the past she can't hide and a pen and paper patches up her life very slowly with tape and glue but at the very least ... some people are worth writing for and Maia is not simple. ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* . *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧ When Maia loses her mother to cancer, she takes on high school life as if nothing ever happened. She lived the best of both worlds. After her mother's death, Maia promised herself she wouldn't be in any boy's pants to recover from her loss. She's isolated now. She's distant. Her mother's death has conflicted her thinking. Maybe she should just smile... it's what everyone chooses to do. But what if the muscles don't work the same as they once had? What if you have to start figuring life out in shades of grey.

Bakers Touch by KeiJuneArt

Morgan is going back to school, again. It's time to get cooking, and Morgan is on her third attempt at getting her life together. She's determined to win the cooking competition, leave her mother's house of sin, and take her brother, Peter, with her. Morgan is fed up with supplementing her mother's habits and being taken advantage of. All she wants now is to fight for the future she deserves. Confronting her mistakes, and accepting the things, and people, she cannot change is a harrowing thing to do when you're also tasked with caring for someone who can't defend themselves. With the stakes of a better life and a chance at freedom so close at hand, she does not have time to fool around or get distracted yet, there is something about Nikolai that makes her feel safe enough to talk about her problems and surprisingly, he reciprocates that sentiment by discussing his troubles. Having someone by her side that she can relate to and be open with, doesn't seem so bad. But what if that someone is revealed to be a Professor!? Just wait until Rebecca hears about this, surely trouble is bound to happen.

Their Guy by xxbadass_unicornxx

There was only one word to describe them - Inseparable. Marlene and Leandrea are your twin goals. The perfect siblings who did everything together, did everything for each other and if the time came, they would willingly sacrifice their life for the other. However, the true test of their love begins when Marlene is diagnosed with leukemia - a fatal cancer. On the road to save her sister, Leandrea finds herself doing things she never thought she would do - stepping out of her comfort zone, socializing, hanging out with the popular kids and gradually but most importantly - falling in love. But when she finds out what's really at stake in this mission, will saving Marlene be her top priority? Or will Ryden Andrews - the school's not-so bad, bad boy and a growing deathly cancer be all it takes to separate the inseparable? Will this treacherous bit of life change these twins for the better or scar them for eternity? As soon as they got themselves stuck in this situation, they knew there was no turning back. Only one of them could capture Ryden's heart and only one of them could live. ☆★☆ Highest Ranking: #69 in Teen Fiction ☆★☆ This book has been written, edited and published by me from scratch and is purely fictional.

Altered by LuellaOpal

Have you ever met someone who alters the course of your life? For good or for bad, they've come in, given and taken, and then- BOOM! Your life was never the same. There's always a change, an altering of reality. When you meet those people, the reality that you've known your whole life is suddenly gone and a new one has taken its place. When those moments happen, there's no going back. You can try to return to the way things were but nothing, and I mean nothing, can take you back to exactly how it was. That's what happened to us. I think that's why we're still trying so desperately to get back to some sort of normalcy. Four years later and we're still on the ground, crawling, in search of the happiness that was lost that June. Summers will never be the same. Midnight walks through my neighborhood will never be the same. Field parties with bonfires and loud music will never be the same. I still don't know why you left and what lead you to the decision you made. What I do know is that we're here. We're alive and we're pushing forward to the future. A future that you're not a part of. But in some ways, I'm glad you're not a part of it. I just wish it wasn't like this. *** TRIGGER WARNING*** SA, abuse, suicide, substance abuse, and mental illness. This is a complete story that is much like life; fast, full of surprises, and not always how we want it to be. This has been a project of mine for over three years. It was self-published on Amazon, but after some issues in publication, I decided to just upload it on here. I hope you fall in love with these characters like I have. The friends in this story are trying to make names for themselves, figure out who they are, who they can trust, how to love, and how to separate themselves from a restrictive community. As in any coming of age story, they will experience growing pains... but will they survive them before its too late? PLEASE READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS.

| COMPLETE | [this is the first draft of my story. so, if there's grammatical mistakes and continuity errors, i apologize and i will be editing in the future.] Lia James was living in a nightmare. It all started one night, when her mother was in a car accident, and never survived the night. She spent the remainder of the summer in mourning. She never ate, or left her bedroom for that matter.

That is, until she comes across Andrew Price: Local bad boy with a well-known reputation, and a heavy bank account. From leather jackets, to secrets, to new relationships, Lia finally comes to terms that her senior year will never be normal. Especially when her best friends and Andrew have a very public hatred towards each other. Will she manage to stay above the drama? Or will she fall into the crossfire of her best friend's feud? ************** STARTED: 8/30/18 ENDED: 1/17/21 RANKS: #6- projectbadboys 2/12/20 #16 - heartstrings 1/17/19
