(WILL UPDATE WHEN I CAN)

Kim Thomas has an eye for capturing the emotions that are unknown even to the beholder. Nothing brings her joy than capturing raw emotions, and powerful stories. 

Her images are windows to the world. All she knows is her sheltered life in Old Town. But her avid curiosity pushes her to explore past the comfort she knows.

In preparation for college, she wants to take matters in her own hands, even if it means leaping in the unfamiliar. Leaving a place she's known all her life, but it might not be as easy as she thought.

Then she meets Jacqueline Holliday; fresh-face from New York City. No one has more experience with the unfamiliar than her.  A girl whose rocky experience with life puts her on the other side from Kim. With so much pain, she's forced her to keep herself under lock and key. She's unlike anybody Kim's ever met in Old Town.

No grand meeting.  Just two people, finding themselves at the right place. A story where one girl learns to welcome the fear of her future, and the other learns to let go of something she thought was worth holding on to.All Rights Reserved

Sometimes, love takes a little time. Tina had lost her way. Become cynical and insular, avoiding other people at all costs. Life had carried her along on a never-ending wave of apathy and she couldn't work out how to hold her head above the water.

When her English tutor becomes ill, she meets Dawn, a substitute teacher and in a few, short, weeks, Dawn shows Tina something she can believe in. Something that can catch her mind, while Dawn catches her heart. As their lives take them both in very different directions, Tina and Dawn come into contact over and over again as the years pass by.

MATEO || bxb by flawed-pariah

It only took one summer to change everything. Now Camden is just trying his best to carry on with life like normal, but that's a little tricky when his memories keep haunting and some nights are so bad that sleep evades him completely. He can't even imagine how much worse it would have been if Mateo hadn't been there. But that was the summer before and Mateo's been gone for the whole year since. What happens when Mateo comes home, and how will Cam ever face him again? ___ 'He looked mostly the same as last summer, older maybe, definitely more tanned. He'd grown his hair out a little longer, so it hung lower in his eyes now. I'd seen him post a picture with his hair like that a few months ago and decided to grow mine out too. I wonder when he looked at me, did he see me as I am now, or did he see me as I was then, that night?' ___ TW: sexual assault

The Way She Sees Me (gxg) by vallovesonyx

Noa never forgot Eli-the best friend she secretly loved in high school before she had to leave without warning. A decade later, Noa has become a renowned photographer, known for capturing people in ways they've never seen themselves. Eli, now one of the world's top models, is untouchable-effortlessly beautiful, endlessly photographed, and always just out of reach. When Noa is unexpectedly assigned to shoot Eli for a major campaign, she braces herself for the inevitable collision of past and present. But when Eli greets her with the same easy charm she had all those years ago-without the slightest hint of recognition-Noa makes a choice. She doesn't remind her. What starts as a professional partnership turns into something more complicated. As they travel from city to city, working in foreign studios and sunlit sets, Noa watches Eli through her lens, searching for traces of the girl she used to know. The way she tilts her head, the way she laughs, the way she bites her lip when she's thinking-it's all still there. And yet, Eli remains distant, unknowingly standing on the other side of a story she doesn't remember. Noa tells herself it's enough to be near her again, to exist in Eli's world, even if she can never say what she really feels. But emotions are harder to edit out than a photograph, and the more time they spend together, the more Eli begins to notice the way Noa looks at her. Somewhere between the shutter clicks and stolen moments, Eli remembers and starts to wonder: has Noa always seen her this way?

Take Me With You, I Wanna Feel Better by thinkwaymore

Ronica's pov: Her black long hair, her dark brown eyes, her smooth soft flawless skin, her skin colour like vanilla ice-cream, her fingers smelt like raspberry when she put my hair aside my face, her eyelashes were pretty long and dark, her nose in the perfect shape, her lips the most glossy and pink thing on earth. Her chubby cheeks. Oh God she's perfect. Allisia's pov: her brownish chocolaty skin that melts me for her, her black eyes are like a forest with hidden souls, her hair were purest black, silky long, like waves in an ocean, her eyebrows were perfectly designed, her acne made her more gorgeous, she was perfect like her. *Sadness And Love All Around*
