Rhys Morgan should be happy.
He is valedictorian, has supporting, loving parents, and lives an expensive life, but he is far from happy. On top of struggling with his identity, Rhys has trouble connecting with others and feels dissociated from his peers. He is well-known to be a social outcast in Cedar Creek High, thus making him an easy target for bullies. In a school that vilifies anything outside their norm, Rhys cannot be himself. He battles with self esteem, dysphoria, communication, and confidence, but who would know if a smile is always on his freckled face?
Prudence Flores should be happy.
She is beautiful-the type of beauty that is celebrated and revered, the type of beauty that quickly makes her the most popular girl at her new school, Cedar Creek High. Though the attention comes with perks, Prudence hates it and tries her best to deflect the attention by being someone she's not: a mean girl. While Prudence is forced to navigate a world that is both with and against her, she is plagued by the trauma of her past. But for the sake of her little brother, Jude, she must keep her head held high even when it feels like everything is going wrong.
Find out what happens when two people who hide behind facades form a friendship that teaches them to be vulnerable and break down their walls. This is a story of overcoming inner turmoil, trauma, discovering self-identity, and finding compassion for oneself. Join Rhys and Prudence in their journey towards self-love and acceptance.
Spoiler Alert: this is not a romance.

At least for me it is.Concluída
Life's Unexpected Turn
When the person you love becomes the one you fear most, survival becomes the only thing that matters. Parker Avery is a creative teacher and talented artist trying to rebuild her life after escaping a past filled with lies, betrayal, and unimaginable abuse. Moving to a new city offers her a chance to breathe again, to rediscover who she is beyond the scars she carries. Bailey Adams is a kindhearted college student who once believed she had the perfect life. But the woman she fell in love with has slowly become someone cruel and dangerous. Trapped in a relationship built on manipulation, fear, and violence, Bailey finds herself losing the person she used to be. When Parker and Bailey's lives unexpectedly cross, neither of them are ready to trust again. Both carry wounds that run deeper than anyone can see, and both fear that happiness may simply be something meant for other people. Yet sometimes healing begins in the most unexpected ways. The question is whether these two broken souls will find the strength to face their pasts and open their hearts... or if the damage done to them will keep them apart forever. _____________________________________________ Please note that the imagery used in my chapters are not 100% mine.

His Sweet Lies
Her brows furrowed. "You look like you have something specific you wanna ask me." The tips of Liam's ears turned red at Emma's very accurate observation. "I, uh... I usually just bullshit my way through projects, so I have no idea what the hell I'm doing." The corners of Emma's lips formed a small smile. Liam arched his brow. "What are you smiling at?" Her smile widened. "Nothing." Ever since Emma started going to Silver Creek High, she's been bullied over her discolored eyes. It all started when a boy brought attention to her in biology class one day, laughing at her and calling her a "freak" while the rest of the class laughed along with him. She never looked at him or saw his face; she just ran out of the room crying. She was now an outcast labeled as a freak and she wanted nothing more than to just disappear. She felt she had no purpose in life. Until her sophomore year when she fell in love with Liam, the guy every girl wanted; the guy every dude wanted to be. He had stolen her heart and she now wanted nothing more than to be with him. Unfortunately, Liam seemed to want nothing to do with Emma. He seemed to be straight up avoiding her. They never interacted for 3 whole years. That is, until now in their senior year, when they get paired up for a school project. The two must put their differences aside and try to work as a team. But as they spend more time together, feelings grow deeper, and secrets start to rise to the surface. Warning: Contains mature language, sex, and topics of bullying, sexual assault/harassment, self-harm, and suicideConcluída
