Sitting at the very edge of adolescence, Felicity Rivers, the school's resident screw up, meets the seemingly buoyant Yaris Wasambe, the school's head prefect, on the verge of leaving the school premises at the dawn of their graduation ceremony.
Brought together by their mutual desire to escape the event, the two embark on a five-hour journey of goofing off, all in the while pretending as if their absences won't be noted.   
This introspective short story explores the various conventions of two teens from entirely different backgrounds trying to break free from the pre-defined stereotypical lives society has set for them for as long as they can, which is about five hours.All Rights Reserved

OR Oliver bets to Zip that he can make △lice his girlfriend, and chaos ensues. (there will be angst, this is not a wholesome fluffy fic, if that's what you're looking for) This was first posted on AO3 under the same title, but I decided to post it here as well just because there isn't enough FPE angst on Wattpad [COVER ART BY @NightCat720 ON X/TWITTER]

UNCERTAIN by yazdreamz

Ariel Montejo, a 20-year-old college student, is navigating a life filled with pressure, confusion, and emotional uncertainty. Raised by strict parents who control every aspect of her life-dictating her education, relationships, and even her personal preferences-Ariel finds herself disconnected from her own emotions. Their impossible expectations have shaped her into a top-performing student, always striving to excel in her studies, but she feels lost and hollow inside. Though she has a girlfriend, Leah, Ariel struggles with her feelings, unsure if her affection is real or just a product of her fear of intimacy with men. Her relationship with Leah feels mechanical, lacking the passion she sees in others. Haunted by past experiences of depression and suicidal thoughts, Ariel fights to keep up appearances while secretly battling the weight of her unresolved emotions. When she unexpectedly meets Kenji, an intelligent and enigmatic political science student, she feels an unfamiliar connection that further complicates her already tangled emotions. As Ariel tries to balance the expectations of her demanding parents, the responsibilities of school, and the complexities of her relationships, she is forced to confront the question: Can she ever truly know who she is or what she wants, or will she remain trapped in her uncertain life forever? "Uncertain" is a poignant exploration of the pressures of perfection, the search for self-identity, and the struggle to break free from emotional constraints.

MINE by DreamJunky

"Now that I know what makes you tick.." He said walking over to me. "I know how to make you listen to me." He brushed my hair behind my ears. Damn it. This is what I was afraid of. Showing too much emotion has caused him to see my weakness. "Don't touch me" I slapped his hand away. "You're gonna need to learn how to control that attitude of yours princess." Cole smiled turning around and going into the bathroom. ----------- With the tragic passing of her mother, Emily was sent away into the foster care system. She lives every day wanting an escape. She wants to make memories that can shadow over the old ones. All she hopes for is a good life, filled with good memories, good company, and something to be remembered by. Little does she know that there is someone else who wants that for her too. Just remember that not everything is what it seems.

Growing Pains by actuallyitsmonica

In the day-to-day trenches of high school, it is almost the default-setting to believe we are the main character of our own coming-of-age story. This is not wrong. It's just ours isn't the only story there is. The jocks, the nerds, the cheerleaders, the losers, the stoners, the fangirls, the skaters. Everyone's the realest most important person in existence, all of them, at the same time, first-person narrators to their own stories, stumbling into each other's plot lines, defying the status-quo, catalysts to ups and downs. A deconstruction of all the high school tropes and cliches written over the years, a deep-dive into the psyche of students trying to finish high school while going through irrevocable self-discovery, the most improbable of connections, and the insufferable pains of growing up.

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.
