Alexander (NOT Alex) De'Tarte was your typical high school nobody. With most of his time spent with his hand in his pants, or playing video games, he didn't really try to change his status. He just finished his freshman year in college, and is prepared to tell you of the many f*cked up events that ensued. Join him in his jaw-dropping, overly honest tale of noisy roommates, embarrassing memories, jackass jocks, blonde bimbos, and Top Ramen. • Hi there! So this is my first story on Wattpad. I've been writing since the fourth grade, but never showed my work to anyone. My head is filled with hundreds of ideas, but I never had the time to write them down. This is my first story from a boy's POV, and I guess well just see where it goes from here. Let me know what you think, you'll be my first critics! Adios, muchachos. WARNING contains suggestive material, drug use, drinking, college party lingo, mature scenes and (censored) language.

It's the last year of high school, and everything has changed . . .
*****
After a summer spent in the Philippines, Lara Dela Cruz is eager to start her senior year and, most importantly, reunite with her three besties. But what she did not expect was to show up on the first day of school to all three of her friends now in relationships. Fighting for their attention, catching some new and confusing feelings for long-time frenemy James, and wading through the pressures of post-high-school plans all have Lara reeling. And to make matters worse, Lara's beautiful and untrustworthy cousin conveniently appears and wiggles her way right between her and James' budding relationship. Feeling like a third wheel in more ways than one, Lara must learn to accept that change is inevitable, love is complicated, and being the odd one out is sometimes where inner power is found.
