Beck Addams is the school's smartest kid. He aces everything ranging from pop quizzes to exams, and everyone wants him to tutor them. Deaf since childhood, he never let it stop him; he does everything he can to be able to communicate with people. Everyone loves him and he has a very happy life.

Riley King is the school's "emo" kid. He wears all black, sits in the back of the class, and gets straight C's. Like typical emo kids, he never talks to anyone. One good reason for that is because he is mute. Even if he weren't, people would be too scared to talk to him; no one wants to go near him. He likes it that way though. He dislikes people. 

The only thing these two boys have in common is that they can use and understand ASL, though Riley rarely uses it, and they are both LGBT. Beck is gay and Riley is genderqueer and demiromantic asexual.

With how different they are, how could they ever interact with one another? Well, one day they get partnered for a project at school. Will they be able to work together? Will Beck get Riley to communicate with him at all? Or will Riley just push Beck away like he does everyone else? Read to find out.

*I wrote this when I was like... 14 lol. It has been edited for grammar, but any cringe, plot holes, or "cliff hangers" have not been fixed. There are too many issues so I will not be editing the story at all to fix them. Please keep that in mind when you read, and I hope you enjoy the story anyway! Maybe you can just read for fun and giggle at the weird parts.

**Also: Sorry for the fancy gender/sexuality terms. Again... I was 14. I suggest you google them if you don't know what they are because I don't think I ever explained them in the story and Google will probably give you a better explanation than I can lol.All Rights Reserved

"I am the textbook definition of in love with you." *** Castor Rex: He's snarky, quiet and mysterious. A secret keeper. He doesn't like his life to be on display. People avoid him, even if they respect him. Jasper Red: He's polite, nice and helpful. A open book. He likes filling his life with other people and their love. People love him, they can't help it. Because of his quiet nature, snarky smirks and sarcastic words Castor has always had a hard time when it came to making friends -and keeping them. Something Jazz doesn't struggle with. With Jazz's protective nature, shyness and many friends he doesn't need someone else to fill a spot in his life -at least, that's what he thought. Then they met. And that empty part in Jazz's heart felt a little bit bigger because he started to realize Cas could fill it. Cas sees him as a grinning, happy dork he has no chance with. Jazz sees him as a adorable, grumpy jock that now, is his. Castor wants to get through the school year as quietly as possible but with how loud Jazz loves, neither of them know if it's possible, and to make matters worse they're roommates for the rest of the year. It's only a matter of time before they come together or fall apart. *** As a private person, someone who doesn't share myself with others, I can say that learning how to interact with others is difficult. It's like baking, almost, you have to mix the right ingredients together, and if you add the wrong ones things can taste hideous even if they look good. It's a lot like our words. But I've mastered how to tell someone just a little about myself but doing it in a way that makes the person in front of me think they know a lot. Jasper, somehow, sees through this every fucking time and it's absolutely infuriating. He's never satisfied with just a little of me, with my hidden truth, and it's the most annoying thing I've ever experienced. *** @STESLARA made the second POV in her book 'Jasper Red's Anomaly'

The In Between by heyJazzFace

*TRIGGER WARNINGS LISTED BELOW. Not a supernatural or paranormal story. Literally about smol beans.* Counseling. A week of counseling. Sure, there were 6 fights in a month, but Principal Evans just didn't understand. Riley wasn't the bully, they were. But they're nerds, and they don't seem like bullies. And of course, his home life is a mess; his mom's dead, and his dad walked out two years before his mom died. He lives with his little sister and his alcoholic grandmother. Things don't look very good for him. But then there's Cam. Cam is not the same, but he seems to understand a bit. And Riley seems to understand him. Maybe, just maybe, things can turn out okay. Trigger Warnings: ~References to self harm (cutting, specifically) ~References to abusive situations (verbally abusive parents and a physically abusive brother) ~Bullying (a character regularly gets picked on and beat up by a group of kids) ~Fight scenes (Fight scenes) I think that's it.

Under the Stars by theflowerstories

**I WROTE THIS WHEN I WAS 13** Caleb is the typical guy that every girl wants. He's hot and charming, and he knows that very well. What makes him even more popular is that Caleb isn't a player. He knows how to treat a girl and he's friendly with everyone, making him irresistible. Then, his everyday life takes a different twist one sunny day. It's weird to see him annoyed that his homeroom teacher called him in from his football practice to deliver homework to a classmate, a girl named Rose that refuses to go to school. Rose takes the online classes instead, and the homeroom teacher wants her to come back in class for a certain reason. The school can't risk her getting expelled for skipping. Caleb goes to Rose's house, confident that he can convince her to come to school. But he didn't expect a quiet but beautiful house. He is directed by her parents to leave her stuff in her room and to leave quickly. Curiosity takes the best of him and Caleb wanders around the gorgeous house. He enters a closet. And he also didn't expect a girl, the classmate 'living' in that closet. Rose's blind and she's deaf. The unexpected love between two completely different people begins.

Bloodsport by reereelove02

Michelle Rose and Simon Riley, also known as Ghost at West Bridge High School, are both quite wealthy. However, they can't stand each other. Michelle is the adopted younger sister of Simon's childhood best friend, Lucas Johnson, and she knows Spanish thanks to Lucas's dads, Edwin Johnson, and Chris Rose. Her childhood best friend, Carl, is also Lucas's boyfriend. Most students like Michelle, except for Simon and some of his friends, who have bullied her since freshman year through junior year. Now, they both have to pretend to be a married couple and fake parents to a child or children for their English class for five months to become seniors. Will they remain enemies, or will they find themselves becoming lovers? Read on to find out! I will also include AI-generated pictures in this story as well as some real ones credit to their owners. This will also have fake addresses for their assigned homes as well and a fake social media instead of Instagram called 'Glimpse' and maybe other fake social media as well as fake phone numbers. If you have any ideas or suggestions, please feel free to share them with me. I hope you enjoy it! Note: This will be an NSFW story featuring my original character and Simon Riley from Call of Duty. Also check out the song Bloodsport '15 by Raleigh Ritchie. **Disclaimer: I do not own any Call of Duty characters; this is all for fun.**

The Beast's Kryptonite by Youreguiltypleasure

"Mine." His low growl of possession took my heart and the fate of my panties. They were soaked through with arousal. Damn it. I stroked his face as he sniffed the air. I prayed he couldn't smell my body's reaction to his. His hand slipped from my waist and traveled to the rip in my dress. "I can smell how much your body craves mine." My breath catches as his hand finds it home at the front of my panties. "Why don't you just submit yourself to me? Accept that you are mine and mine alone?" His hand was traveling lower, and he found my clit rubbing it through my underwear. I couldn't help but lean my head back and moan out at his skillful administration on my pussy."Moan, my name, my innocent mate. Tell everyone who is making you feel this pleasure."He had ripped my underwear off me and threw them across to hit another tree. He propped me up against the tree, causing me to hold onto his shoulders for support as his fingers took advantage of my spread legs, my dress completely exposing my pussy to him."Absolutely Ravishing." One of his thick fingers pumped its way into my hole, causing me to moan loudly into his ear. "Seth." ********* Seth Knight was not one for romance; everyone at Quillwood High School knew that. If you were a girl, you were in danger of being his next distraction. He would fuck a girl, the girl would fall in love, and he would leave. It was what had always happened. But there was a time before he had become a player. His old best friend, Belle Rivers, the innocent, sweet girl he had known since birth, kept the darkness at bay. Their mothers had been best friends since high school and conceived only months apart. They were destined to be. He was her protector, and she had kept him good, but when his dad died, the darkness crept into his heart, and the only one who could save him was forced to leave him. "Sample" (Mature scenes 18 +) {Highest rating # 29 in bestfriends ;) }

Books & Bad Jokes (bxb) by leyani143

"You make shitty jokes, sweetheart." "But you laughed, so obviously something was funny." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Aiden Garcia is a lot of things. Sarcastic, sweet, slightly nosy, slightly depressed, funny (he hopes), etcetera, etcetera. Aiden is also the most empathetic person in all of Heartman High, and possibly the country, too. And as the most empathetic person, it hurts his heart to see others suffer. And well, when a cute boy from the football team gets outed, how could he not check up on him? Except Mark Henderson is the most stubborn person he's ever met. And he also seems to have mood swings with how he feels about Aiden, and seriously, Aiden can't keep up. Or keep Mark out of his head. So there's 2 choices. 1) Forget Mark ever existed, and go find another cute, funny, stubborn, pretty boy. 2) Get that man if it's the last thing he does.

The Spectrum by A_Shepherd

Beck is top of her class when it comes to Maths and Science and her future seems bright. However, she struggles with social anxiety and relationships. Beck is autistic and spends most of her life locked away in her own mind as she reads her collection of books to escape her abusive alcoholic father. But once her eyes meet a grey eyed boy from across the room her world won't be the same. (18+ violence, adult themes, bullying, harassment and other issues) Being Autistic myself I have put a lot of me in this book. I've exaggerated certain aspects for entertainment values but other than that this is how awkward I feel most of the time. I don't see many books by women who write about their experiences in a creative way to spread awareness in a fun and compassionate way. This is mine I guess. I hope you enjoy this short story.

Jazz Red's Anomaly by STESLARA

"I am the textbook definition of in love with you." *** Jazz Red has had a life full of love; his parents taught him how to value himself, his siblings taught him how to stand up for what he believed in, and his family has taught him what it means to matter to people. He has people in his corner, there for him and ready to have his back. He knows that there are people who are less lucky than him-- with unaccepting parents and cruel siblings and a harsh past. He knows that when things go wrong, sometimes people are alone. Sometimes they fall apart, and there's no one else there to catch their shattered pieces. But he isn't one of them. He has friends and family that love him. So why does he want more? Why does he-- even with all the joy his family gives him-- want a different type of love? He feels selfish, undeserving. Why did he have to feel so bad about being alone when he was surrounded by people who appreciated him? Why did he have to want, why did desire never leave him alone? Well, he finds out when he meets Castor Rex, a quiet and extremely interesting football player, and that empty part in Jazz's heart feels a little bit bigger when he starts to realize Cas could fill it. Cas sees him as a grinning, happy dork he has no chance with. Jazz sees him as a adorable, grumpy jock that now, is his. Castor wants to get through the school year as quietly as possible but with how loud Jazz loves, neither of them know if it's possible, and to make matters worse they're roommates for the rest of the year. It's only a matter of time before they come together or fall apart. *** Red's Series #4. Crossover to @whoscountinganyways User Series. Can be read as a stand alone.

Warning ⚠️ This book contains dark themes, mature and triggering content, i.e. description/talk of suicide, rape, porn, and mature language. ~^~^~^~ His lips cupped mine, and a swell of warmth unfurled in my heart. It was gentle and soft, something I never expected from a guy like him. He moved his right hand from my cheek to my waist, tugging me against him, and molded our bodies together. A wave of electricity went down to my core when he licked my lips. "Open your mouth, Bella." His commanding husky voice against my lips jolted my heart, and I followed his order like a slave. With no control, a moan erupted from my throat as his tongue met mine. It was barely audible, but I knew he heard it when he smiled against my lips. He swept my hair from my face to my back and gathered them in his fist. He tugged my head back, deepening the kiss, and my heart thrashed in my chest. At that moment, I didn't need drugs to know what being high felt like because his lips were enough to send me on nine clouds. Just once and I was addicted to it. If this is how being kissed feels like, then fuck, I've wasted a lot of time. ~^~^~^~ FEATURED ON: @Romance (Romantic Suspense) HIGHEST RANKINGS: #1 Goodgirl, Darkpast #2 Badboy #5 Newadult
