If you wish to read this story in its original, safe, form, please go to https://my.w.tt/eqyJK19iaab . (Second place in the Small Writer's Contest!) There is a monster in Madison Vernon's head. Er, at least, that's how it feels to her. This monster is her own self, her own thoughts. She truly is her own worst enemy. She criticizes every move she makes, she rains accusations down on herself like there's no tomorrow, and she slowly chips away at all of her own self confidence and happiness. When new friends and new experiences, even new romance, starts to appear, Madison feels the monster begin to lose its hold over her, it's deafening voice getting quieter. When tragedy strikes though, it turns her world upside down, forcing her to come face to face with her enemy in battle. That is... Herself. This is the story of a regular high school girl and her journey through battling depression and learning to love herself and the God that made her.

The IT Couple by Franciane_27

My life was normal. I was a good sister, daughter, and stayed to myself. But if you were to tell me that I would have been hurt by the people I love the most, loved by the person I hate the most, and tormented by the memories around me... I would have laughed in your face. But change is one hell of a bitch. And it takes one person to make that change, that very drastic change, worth while. The question is... who is that person? You tell me.

The John Hughes Club by KBMallion

Being the new girl, officially sucks. Being the new Goth girl, wholeheartedly sucks. Being the new Goth girl, with horrific baggage, truly sucks. At my old school, I was thought of as 'cool and quirky'. Here, I'm just the weird new girl - the weird new girl whose parents are divorcing. I get stared at. Whispered about. Socially ostracised. I just know that my entire school life is now going to be an endless bout of loneliness and humiliation. Only, it would seem that Chas Summers doesn't think so. He has just stuffed a piece of paper in the back pocket of my jeans with one of his cocky and welcoming smiles. Now this boy, really is cool and quirky. A bit of a rebel, but he's definitely no rebel without a cause. That cocky smile of his, tells me that this could be the coming together of two quirky kindred spirits. That smile, tells me that I could have found my first friend here. Maybe being the new girl, isn't going to be so bad after all? Maybe being the new girl, will have its advantages? Maybe being me, is actually okay? I'm Mindy Diaz. The new Goth girl. Quirky and proud. The John Hughes Club Published by K B Mallion Copyright © 2020 K B Mallion

My Wildest Dreams by fhsgctcusbf

Josh and Katie have been best friends since he first moved nextdoor midway through freshman year. They were attached to the hip and acted like they've known each other for years. Josh Parker was the all American boy who all the girls wanted, including Katie. As Katie and Josh's friendship blossomed she quickly formed a crush on Josh, but as the years progressed, her crush turned into love. Five years after leaving Miami brokenhearted after finding out about Josh's engagement to his childhood sweetheart. Katie unexpectedly reunites with her former best friend, and Josh quickly realizes that his feelings for her are not just platonic anymore. * As I'm walking out of work I get a call from my brother to pick my niece up from school. For the past 4 years that little girl has had me wrapped around her finger and I wouldn't have it any other way. Unfortunately I got stuck in traffic on the way over so I'm late for pick up. Once I get to Melanie's classroom I fill out the sign out sheet that's on the wall and make my way into the classroom. I faintly hear Melanie laughing so I know she's not upset from me being late. "Hey I'm so sorry. I got stuck in traff..." I said stopping mid sentence, stunned at the woman in front of me. Standing in front of me is someone I considered one of the most important people to me back in highschool. As soon as I looked into those Caribbean blue that I used to know so well, I knew it was her. It takes her a few seconds to realize who I am. She stands there stunned. We continue to stare at each other until she breaks the silence. "Josh?" She asks not believing it's actually me. "Hey Katie girl."

Welcome To Carlsonton Academy by xcinnamonshowersx

"Highschool? Bullshit." ~The Perks of Being a Wallflower. Nobody likes highschool. It's four years of being judged, getting your heartbroken, feeling stressed, suffering from anxiety issues, and just a general pain in the neck. Most teenagers despise waking up and spending eight hours in their least favourite place. So why should it be any different for her? When Valerie Valentine is first accepted to Carlsonton Academy, the boarding school for the kids of the rich and famous, she does not look forward to it. Little does she know that that's where her life will completely change forever. It's the place where she'll meet the most amazing people in her life, and also some of the worst. It's the place where she'll fall in love and suffer heartbreak. It's the place she knows that when she leaves, she'll miss it more than anything. It's the place she calls home. //Contains swearing. You have been warned.//

Sanctuary by LoveAudenzia

Previously called T.I.R.E.D. Riley Matthews was always a happy, bubbly girl, but what happened to her when the love of her life and her best friend started dating? How could she have let it get this far? What happens when they figured out the last message she left for them? Will they be able to stop her before she does it, or are they too late? Can they bring back "Smiley Riley" or is she too far gone? Will he be able to pull her out of the hole she's dug herself into, or is he to late to get her back? Riley: "Goodbye." Maya: "Why didn't you tell me?" Lucas: "Dance with me." Farkle: "How long?"

" You only truly miss someone when they are gone. And sometimes, it's hard to let go. But you have to let him go..." It is hard when your loved one is gone. But for Riley, it was something different. In a sick sort of way, she loved it-reminiscing about Leo, literally drowning in the memories of him. And it isn't long till Riley does drown herself among those gray memories, shutting and shunning the world forever, in a place too far to reach. She is already so gone, that every one of her friends and family are very close to giving up, and on each tick of the clock Riley is close to letting go. Will a curious stranger's words save her, or will Riley try to save herself? *If you read the summary, and decided that it is some sort of typical clichè , I'd like to tell you that this is NOT a cliche 'damsel-in-distress-saved-by-a-knight-in-shining-armour' story at all. You won't find anything such as that, as the tags suggests too. But yes, there will be few moments of cliche.* •Warning• : Things about suicide, self-harm, depression; contains kissing and cuss words-so read at your own risk And also, even though it's edited, it still can have few mistakes. So sorry for those errors! Cover by me! Trailer by carpe-di3m

Desire (Completed) by Bee90s

"If you were really my best friend, you'd see that you were the only person I've ever wanted to be with. You've been dating everyone else while I'm just sitting around waiting for you to open your damn eyes!" I yelled at him as tears streamed down my cheeks. He looked at me with wide eyes, clearly confused. He then held a sympathetic look on his face when he saw how passionate I was about this entire situation. I can't believe he didn't realize all these years that he was the one I wanted to be with all along. "How was I supposed to know Riley? You didn't tell me shit!" He yelled back at me but still held his same sympathetic look. I shook my head at him, wiping my face as I backed away from him, stepping into a pile of snow in the process. There was already snow on ground but more snow had just started to fall from the sky. "Look, I have to go. My mom wants me home for dinner." I said turning on my heels and walking away towards my house. I didn't even bother looking back but I knew he was still standing there. I wondered if he'd run after me or if he'd sweep me off my feet like I always imagined but no, nothing. Just broken dreams and maybe even a broken friendship. *For hopeless romantics
