The definition of love is an intense feeling of deep affection. You love your family, your friends but then there's that one person you love differently than anyone else in the world. Unconditionally, forever, no matter what happens but is it real or just a period of infatuation with another person. 

Before I met him I never knew what it was like to be able to look at someone and genuinely smile for no reason at all.

Everything was different before him. Before him I thought I was floating, swimming even. Turns out I was drowning, barely above water. Hiding it all with a smile. No one saw my struggle. No on saw my pain. But that all changed when I let Levi into my life.

Are you mine? by EmmJayWriting

We've all heard about 'the main character'. The type of person who lives through the most dramatic and improbable situations, and finds the kind of epic romance you only see in works of fiction. Which makes you think about how unrealistic love like that is. I used to think the same thing until I met him. Until I met 'the bad boy' that, as it turns out, wasn't that bad at all, just simply...a boy. A boy with an easy smile, a charming personality and looks so enticing that I couldn't keep my eyes off of him if I tried. A boy whose shoulders were starting to slump with the weight of his past and his family. A boy who believed that the only way to survive was by putting a lock on his heart and chaining it down to a place so deep inside of him that no one could ever reach it again. A boy who, for reasons I'll never comprehend, placed the key inside my palm and didn't shy away when I tried to free his hidden heart from its restraints. A boy who made me the main character of my own story. A story I never want to forget, and which begged to be put on paper. This is that story. ~~~ #1 love triangle 8/26/2019 #1 teen romance 11/4/2019 #1 mystory 7/27/2020 #1 teen drama 9/9/2020 #1 goodgirl 9/12/2020 Cover by @alexandramar1e Contains swearing and mature language.

0.3 | The Boy Who Annoys Me ✔️ by littletroublemaker_

They called her crazy. They called him cocky. She had experienced heartbreak. He didn't know what it was. She never imagined finding love again. He never imagined discovering love. Ren knew leaving America was for the best. She needed a change of scenery and people. She hoped that she would meet a guy who would adore her. However, fate doesn't always work like that. You don't always get what you want. Instead she meets her worst nightmare. A man who was hell-bent on annoying her. A man who didn't know what love was. A man who wanted to win her heart. If only he knew that winning her heart would mean sacrificing his own. This is a light-hearted story filled with humor, friendship, and love. This is a story about finding love again with someone you'd never expect and learning how to be with them. ***All cover credits go the owners of the picture***

A Deeper Connection by TinyScott

From the initial innocence of youth, through agonising memories and situations, two adolescents embark on the journey of discovering what love might mean. Friendship has a certain amount of love and affection, yet how much does it take for it to be a romantic relationship? This is a completely random thought that developed into a story one day. The photos do not belong to me. Only the story and characters.

Unrequited love by txshish

Love. As 'beautiful' as love can be it hurts and bleeds. If you're unlucky you may even love the very person you know you can't have. The best friend, The distant boyfriend, The sisters friend, The brothers friend, The ex best friend, Love isn't always given back the way you gave it. Leaving you with half a heart as the person you gave your half too never gave you their half back. But what if someone else has another half to make yours whole again?

Unforgettable by JustBelle1

She didn't want this and neither did he. Two stubborn teenagers forced to hang out with one another. A story between a sarcastic girl and a boy who can't get enough of breaking hearts. ~~~ When West High's heartthrob Liam Palazzesi sets his eyes on the one unattainable girl in his life he doesn't know whether to walk away or not. But it seems as if he doesn't have much of a choice to make when Giana Russo is forced to tutor him in the one subject that could flunk his entire high school education. Chemistry. Something that the two definitely have. Between stolen kisses, white lies, and their hatred for each other things are bound to get crazy. But when the anger fades and the hatred sizzles down is that enough to keep them away from one another or will they choose to become more than just a distant senior year memory? Because taking a chance on the heart of the quarterback might not be as bad as Giana intends.

Cynical Souls by DramaQueenforreal

COMPLETED✅ Two high school teenagers finding themselves, analyzing this ever changing world, and building love. This is the type of love you wish you found in high school but probably know way too well that it only exists as fiction. Today I'm turning my fiction to reality. ❣️•••❣️ Excerpt: Just as I was about to seek shelter under some building's roof, the tires of a car come to a halt, I wonder who might pity the lonely girl walking in the rain. The passenger window rolls down, and I spot the most unexpected person seated behind the wheel. "Get in" comes out his voice, and I must've stood there agape for a few moments because next comes his rhetorical question. "Are you getting in or continuing walking in the rain?" Eyebrows raised expectantly. He sounds annoyed, like he regrets his decision to ever stop and help me. ❣️•••❣️ #5 in cynical #2 in loveandfriendship #1 in opinionated #4 in ihatelife #10 in nerdgirl #10 in HighschoolRomance #26 in GoodGirlBadBoy *contains mature themes. *contains cursing.
