Fall semester. 1997. At a strange Southern college, freshman Tim's eerily prescient Student Handbook tells him he's going to fall in love with 6'6" sophomore Joanie. But Joanie has more important things to deal with than a weird crush - like a creepy English professor, a hallucinogenic drug that's chipping away at her sanity, and a war between rival secret societies that could destroy the University before Tim and Joanie find out if their love is real, or just fiction.
Recommended if you like: impossible architecture, books that can tell the future, made-up games with overcomplicated rules, portentous graffiti, secret codes, first love, intense hallucinations, 80s and 90s pop culture, a world that's just a couple degrees off from reality, and a coming-of-age story set in a manufactured community that lets you try on different possible futures - aka college.

Our Souls Tieds (English Version)
Beyond the doors of Juilliard University in New York, love and magic find their way, soul mates will be reunited after years of separation, and demigods will fight to keep their heritage. Luciana is a 19-year-old demigoddess mistreated by her family of demigods, with whom she shares blood but not powers. Rejected because of her anomaly, the young woman moves to New York with a single goal: to make her passion for music her profession and avoid relationships at all costs after her last boyfriend left her traumatized and unable to let a man touch her without provoking anxiety attacks. All it takes is a mysterious letter from a secret society of demigods at her new university for Luciana to discover that the universe of divinities is following her closer than she ever imagined. And what she didn't know was that, in the shadow of the stars from the moment she took her first breath, Luciana had been linked to the most powerful man in the land. A soulmate bond with no limits, inherited from their ancestors and created by their Goddess herself long before they were born. Tyler High, the country's most famous and powerful demigod, had always lived with his friends, who had become his family since the death of his parents. The man had given up hope of finding his soulmate, but when he discovers Luciana's existence, he'll do everything in his power to win her heart, even if it means crossing boundaries and becoming overprotective and controlling. Luciana doesn't believe she belongs in this supernatural world, and Tyler never thought he'd be able to love anyone, but the two soulmates find themselves faced with a choice: deny their love and heritage, or accept the call of a destiny they thought unattainable...![Trepidation [Book 1]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/255439736-256-k945108.jpg)

It's too soon, embarrassingly soon. "Don't you fucking dare." His voice is hard, demeaning, and that alone makes my insides tighten further. The pressure becoming unbearable. Ethan's hand grabs my wet hair, twirling it around his hand before he pulls me up by it, and I wince slightly before sighing as my back hits his chest, his cock still buried into me. He palms my breasts, my nipples hardening further, and he rolls my right one between his fingers before pinching it, and I whine at the feeling. Dickhead.

Dynamite Touch (18+) Book 1
"I know what you're doing," I said, pointing my spoon at him and he cocked a curious eyebrow, "Is that so?" I nodded as I spooned more pudding into my mouth and straightened my back, "You're trying to intimidate me, make me spill my secrets. I have none so your psychology-ridden methods won't work on me." "I don't buy it," he grinned mischievously and I shrugged, "There's not a price." He walked towards me and placed his hands on either side of me on the counter, leaning in so almost our noses were touching. I cleared my throat and shook my head, "Elliott, you have to stop." A smile graced his plump lips as humor danced in his eyes, "And why's that?" I wriggled out of his stance and hopped off of the counter, eating another spoonful of the delicious goodness, "I want to see where things go with Dean. He's your brother so why are you doing this?" "Doing what?" He asked, knowingly. He asks so many questions. "That thing you do. That smile. Your touches. The way you look at me, Elliott, please." --------------- Cameron Moore, a troubled girl from a small town in England, flees her dark past and wounds up living in her sister's house in America to attend university.

Everything Hurts
I knew what was coming later tonight, not only at home, but on the way there. I knew that reacting right now would just make it worse though.

Jason and Alicia have the perfect relationship from the outside looking in, but Alicia has kept her wounded spirit and body hidden well. After another one of Jason's violent rages that is impossible to hide, Alicia is finally able to get away from the abuse though. In the process of healing, she begins to relearn what trust, compassion, and safety are once again - that is, until Jason discovers her whereabouts.

HIGHEST RANKING #47 in HUMOR as on 12-11-2016 UNDERGOING HEAVY EDITING. GETS UPDATED REGULARLY. SUPPORT IS WELCOME. COVER BY @AliasRain XXXXX "What will you do if the world was on fire?", I ask. I'll probably blame God for setting the world on fire in the first place. I don't understand why God does such things to good people even when they worship him with all their heart. "I'll take a marshmallow, sit back and roast it. Why not die while enjoying the sugary heaven instead of blaming God for my loss." Kris replied. XXXXX Christiana Hall and Kris Watson. Two very different souls but very similar, all at the same time. Both share the same love for Chemistry and are misunderstood. Both are hard core science junkies, stubborn and competitive. Call them nerds or geeks, whatever floats your boat. Christiana is too good with computers and doesn't believe in love. She knows better than to fall for sheer stupid vulnerability. Her beliefs are based on what the future might hold for her and not based on some terrible past. But what she doesn't know is that someone who can change the way she thinks might cross her path. Kris, considered to be a stereotypical reserved boy, only puts up a facade of one. In reality, he is too nice for his own good. He is chased by one girl in particular a lot and the boys call him 'The Freak'. He is bad with computers and believes in love. His only love has been chemistry before it comes to him in the disguise of a cynical girl. Christiana and Kris have a rocky journey of pranks, friendship and chemistry along with a few punches thrown here and there ahead of them that leads to the discovery of an irreversible reaction. It's going to be legen...Waitforit...dary! 'Watch this break all stereotypes.'Complete
