The Boys in the Band by Elsie_Moorhouse

Pride and Prejudice meets My So Called Life when the closure of an exclusive arts academy forces new students to enroll in a conservative rural public high school during the height of the grunge era. Publishing weekly on Sundays. ******* Whether she's playing her upright bass with the school band or listening to her favorite albums, 16-year-old Jess Dunn lives for music. Unfortunately there's only one other person in the tiny working class town of Grenville, California, who shares her enthusiasm: Chris , the world's most uptight drummer and one of Jess' least-favorite people. That changes when an exclusive art school closes suddenly, forcing a group of former art students to enroll in Grenville's conservative rural public school, and sparking a major culture clash. Among the transfer students are two new music students: Eric, a talented pianist who quickly becomes one of Jess' closest friends, and Josh, a seriously cute guitarist with an enticing punk rock edge. Before long, a music class project has Jess teaming up with her oldest rival, her newest friend, and the hottest guy she's ever seen in real life. Now the group has just a few weeks to complete their assignment and prepare an audition that will earn them a spot in the school's fall showcase. They might even have what it takes to form a real band---if their tangled relationships don't get in the way.

You and Me (Plus Everyone In Between Us) by esosazuwawrites

17-almost-18-year-old Ezra Thompson is tired of two things. First, is constant chatter about Dilemma, an all-boy rock band, led by the supposedly-dreamy frontman Andre Robinson that somehow has a universal grip on every teenager in the world. Personally, Ezra doesn't see the appeal. Second, being in the shadow of her more smart, successful, and popular twin brother Emmet. Ezra couldn't ask for a better life. The thing is, Ezra, can sing. Like really sing. Only her parents who are occasionally proud of her, treat it as a juvenile hobby and she could never sing in front of people. So for now, her shampoo bottles get front-row access to her once-a-night concert in the shower. But when Ezra's younger sister, Maria, signs her up for a singing reality show called Finding Solstice, she is both angry and grateful. To her surprise, she passes the audition and is invited to Los Angeles for the show. Suddenly immersed in the cutthroat music industry, Ezra faces a whirlwind competition against fame-hungry singers, all fighting tooth and nail for the same prize. Amidst the manufactured forces of the industry, she must stand her ground and protect her passion for music. As if that wasn't enough, Ezra finds herself suddenly encountering a pretentious rockstar and is unexpectedly drawn to him. As the competition heats up, Ezra finds herself at the center of a brewing scandal that could end her career before it even starts. The pressure is on, and Ezra is torn between her passion for music and the fear of being dragged down. The stakes are high, and people are unforgiving, but Ezra knows that her music is worth fighting for. With her future on the line, she must navigate the twists and turns of the music industry and stay focused on what really matters: her music and her dreams.

The Band Geek | ✔️ by worldsofella

"We shouldn't do this-- I'm leaving in a few months." "What better time to start than now." "I thought I was just a music nerd to you." "You're not a 'music nerd...' you're a band geek. My band geek." --------------------------------- Hudson Diamante is the son and heir of KD Tech, a worldwide technology company. His parents decide to home a transfer student for publicity. Alannah Parker is a girl from the UK, transferring because she's considered a musical prodigy. She has an checkered past, not letting it show by covering it with a bright smile and happy attitude. Hudson isn't too fond of this transfer student. Before he even met her, he would call her a 'band geek.' He doesn't need any distractions, and needs to focus on his school work. Imagine his shock when he realizes this 'band geek' is prettier than most girls at his school. Once Alannah arrives in sunny Los Angeles, she is attracted to Hudson, but she doesn't need another guy like him in her life. She is there for one and one reason only-- to get away. She has a gift, one which she uses to escape. Escape her life, her sadness, her problems. Once drowned in music, she drops her facade of happiness.

Passionate Exchange by Abbie_1412

Madison is a reserved girl with a comfortable yet uneventful life back home. She has good grades, a loving sister, and a father who's intent on her living her life to the fullest. But as soon as she arrives in Portland, thousands of miles away from her safety net, she's caught off guard by Archer, her new housemate.

Over time and amidst the various little white lies and destructive mistakes, they continue to hide their feelings. She wishes to protect her newfound friendships and he wishes to battle his demons alone. He'll promise her he needs her when no one's around to hear then insist there isn't anything between them when suspicions start to raise. Faced with situations she could only dream of and challenges she thought she'd never overcome; she has to hold herself together while her world crumbles around her. Will Madison throw caution to the wind and risk losing everything for someone who wouldn't do the same for her?

My First by tiggerwinnie

16 year old Danae's life is slowly going downhill with trying to get a job and get into college. His mum doesn't make it any easier though. She's hot headed and is always annoyed at Danae because he looks just like his dad, who his mum has just divorced. His best friend Eden is having problems with her boyfriend and Danae slowly develops feelings for her. They hang out and play video games once a week, which is the highlight of his weeks. He doesn't want to jeopardise his friendship by telling Eden he has romantic feelings for her, until he gives in shortly after their shared kiss. Btw I imagine Danae similar to Cole from the Netflix Series: My Life With The Walter Boys. And I imagine Eden to look like a brunette version of Sarah from Outer Banks. Both great shows I recommend.
