Only Fools... by LunaCresta

'Tell me then, does love make one a fool or do only fools fall in love?' * * * Jess has had a rough time of it lately. And when she gets shipped off to a Catholic Boarding School, she's sure that her time there is going to be boring as hell. But with the Bad Boy, the Queen Bitch and the Hot Head Boy, she realises pretty soon that life is just about to get interesting and now she has to make the hardest choice she's ever had to. Jess knew she'd learn a few lessons from going to Catholic School, but she never guessed that the one to stay with her the longest would be 'Only Fools Fall in Love'...... / / / / / / / / / / / This story is PG. There is mild sex references, mild language (no real cursing). If you're not sure whether this story is going to be appropriate for you then inbox me so I can advise you. Saying that, with the age limit on Wattpad being 13 it should be fine for everyone! Enjoy! :D *trigger warnings - cancer, divorce*

The girl from New York by joanneexu

Completed✔️ Disclaimer: I wrote this when I was 15 so it is a bit cliché, and many mistakes in the story:) All Brooklyn's life, she's been more of a boy than a girl. She's only ever lived with her single dad and her three older brothers, which means she was bound to grow up more like them. So, when she moved all the way from New York to Tennessee, it wasn't much of a surprise until she met Alex, the one of many popular boys at the high school. Until she realized that Alex decided to make her life a living hell. Well, that's what Brooklyn thought, at least... ___ "He leaned in and put a hand behind my head to kiss me, leaving me frozen and speechless. Almost instinctively, after a moment of processing, I stood on my tippy toes and replaced my fingers in his hair, my other hand on his neck. Butterflies exploded in my stomach, replacing my hunger for food, as he pressed me against a vacant wall. Without a word, he lifted me up while my legs wrapped around his waist, leaning in closer to him, even after there was no more space to fill."

The Boyfriend Games {Complete | Book One} by BlueDanceLover

"You signed me up for what?" I shrieked at her. My best friend, who had volunteered me to test a new game that she wanted to make videos out of. A game that took ten girls and ten guys and forced them to become a couple. But the guys had to go around and choose who they wanted to try and date, to court and try to swoon. A twisted form of the bachelor or the bachelorette. A way of trying to force love. And she had written my name down without my permission. "It's called The Boyfriend Games," she giggled. "We're gonna find you some love." •~• I gasped looking up at the sincerity in his eyes. "I mean it. The other girls not only dolled their looks up, but they all put on a phony façade. The personality and laughter I see from them is all fake. But you... you only show what's real, no matter how different your appearance is. You're still the same Thera that you were before this started." Chewing on my lip I looked up at him and took a deep breath before my reply. "I really have to pee." •~• Started: Jan. 2015 Finished: July 2015

Tiny Tales | ✔️ by EvelynHail

This book is a collection of numerous short stories I have created, both mini and midi ones, written in the period of the past twenty years. Some of them are award-winning entries in various micronarrative competitions. Others were adapted with the usage of audio and video stimuli thus creating something akin to hyperliterature. The book cover was done by a Wattpad user and a friend, @AWFrasier. Thank you for designing my cover (again! :)) and at such a lightning speed! Tiny Tales is ONLY available on Wattpad. If you are reading this anywhere else, it is a plagiarized version that may contain malware. ⭐⭐⭐ 📘 Featured on "Multi-Genre Anthologies" reading list on @WattpadAnthologies (June 16, 2020) 📘 Featured on "Anthologies and collections" reading list on @MicroBytes (July 14, 2019) 🥉 Microbytes Contests and Challenges - Winter Nanofiction Contest 2019 Highest rankings: #14 microfiction (June 29th, 2020)

Dysarthria | Dialogue Story ✔ by HappyEndingWriter

Dys • ar • thri • a difficult or unclear articulation speech that is otherwise linguistically normal - Doubt it? How do you know this blossoming friendship won't turn into something more? Cuz that kind of stuff only happens in Wattpad books. Someone texting or calling the wrong number, they fall in love, meet in person, confess their undying love for each other, happily ever after, the end. Too cliché. Even for me. - Gracie Summers was born with a brain injury which led to dysarthria. She hardly every spoke to anyone outside her family, and even then, she used short sentences. When she receives a text from the wrong number, will she develop feelings for him or succumb to the threats from the girl whose number he was supposed to text that night? {EDITED COMPLETE BY ME / @JULIE_PROOFEDIT } Word count // 20,000 Word count (after editing) // 50,000+ #15 / 26.1K stories in 'truestory' tag {7/21/2022} #1 / 44.5K stories in 'nonfiction' tag {5/17/22} #1 / 302K stories in 'shortstory' tag {5/27/22} #1 / 168K stories in 'call' tag {8/6/22} #1 / 132K stories in 'short' tag {6/8/22} #1 / 186K stories in 'comedy' tag {7/21/24} #8 / 238K stories 'funny' tag {7/22/24}
