Author's Note: 


Seventeen, arose out of a desire to clearly explain all of the experiences I had in high school. My time in high school has not been perfect, I have had highs and lows. Lows that pushed me to think about myself differently, lows that pushed against my biases, my comfort level, my everything. What makes Seventeen special is that I finally came away feeling like I could talk about my experiences, not just complaining about them, but speaking about them in a reflective and productive way. A way to inspire new growth, a way to heal, a way to teach, and a way to learn to laugh again. Thank you for choosing to read, Seventeen, and I hope that by reading this, you grow a little bit stronger and better too. 

Thank you,

Seduced by the Alphas by Xonereth

You can read the uncut version of this book over on https://archiveofourown.org/works/61769338 Life could be so unfair, everyone adored my big sister Ava, yes everyone. Ava was the most popular girl in school, she was outgoing, beautiful, and shone like a radiant star. Our parents told her she could easily be a model or anything she wanted really, and Ava with all the confidence of a film star strode through life dazzling all in her wake. She had thousands of followers on her Instagram, Whatsapp, and Tic Toc, and what did I have. Well I had a creative streak and an introverted nature, and I lived in Ava's shadow. The only reason it seemed anyone spoke to me was to get my big sister's attention. I felt like a butler or a handmaiden to a Queen. It was like I never had my own identity. No one saw me at all, until that one day someone did, and I remember it like yesterday. Did I make a good decision probably not, would I do it again, I am unsure. But just once someone noticed me, yes me, and it felt so good. It was good at first, but by the time I had realized the good would never last, the jaws of the trap were closed. I was far away and at his mercy, and yet another stood by me, one who could rescue me from my mistakes.

Levels [boyxboy] by KBbumble

It all started in my Junior year of high school. That year was when everything changed, when everything that I've known about myself was no longer true. I was just a normal 17 year old boy. One boy, changed that all. He gave me love. He showed me hard time and times that we almost didn't make through. Some things brought us closer together, and some things pushed us apart. But I know, no matter what, I he will always have my heart. (This is book 1 of the levels series.)
