Life is ever changing. That could be a good thing sometimes, because that means life changes for the better. For Avery Height though, it's the contrary. With her life consistently taking a turn for the worst, she's come to think that the good things in life never last. Loneliness. Extreme turmoil. Betrayal. Fear. Pain. That's all she has now. All she wants is a chance to feel normal again.
Nathaniel Summers. He's charismatic, sociable, everything a guy could be (according to social norms). Under any normal circumstance, the two would never be more than acquaintances. However, Nate’s friendship provides something that Avery can’t help but gravitate to: normalcy. Will Nathaniel be able to restore Avery's faith in life?

Nathaniel is a former underdog turned centre of sexual objectification. But he still hasn't gotten used to the change in how he's treated now that he's had his dance with puberty. On the inside he's still the same sometimes shy, introverted, sensitive little guy. Sure he has fun here and there being the centre of attention, but all introverts know, that the social battery soon runs low. That is until a pretty girl in the car park makes him want to be the centre of all her attention for the rest of his life. This is that look of complete awe and adoration that men have on their faces in movies when they see the girl they're in love with walk down the stairs, like they've never seen someone else look more beautiful, like they see her and they feel like they just discovered a new rare gem stone. She's glowing. Her skin, her hair, her dress. I start walking towards her and it's like she's a magnet, pulling me to herself in a way I can't control. Once I'm standing in front of her she places her palms on my shoulders and moves them down to my elbows, her eyes trained on mine as her hands reach back up to my hair where she soothingly combs through it with her fingers.Complete
Violet's Delight
"Well then. That's the first time a girl has ever rejected my close proximity," he said, eyes ablaze with a playful fire. "You better get used to it," I retorted as I spun on my heel and headed for the school doors that led to the outside. "I've never met anyone like you before," he called after me, this time, not coming after me. "I know, Romeo. I'm a special little snowflake," I called back, not turning around. "You got the 'little' part right there, Princess!" he shouted after me. I threw up my middle finger back to him and heard him laugh as I exited out the doors rather dramatically. ... I'm tired of all those high school stories about a straight-A girl student with the perfect life who falls for the stereotypical Mr. Bad Boy who wears leather black jackets and only has a soft spot for her. That's not how the real world works, sweetheart. I may look like a damsel, but I'm never in distress. ... Not me making fun of the "she's not like every other girl" trope <3 o.o :)) I like to think I'm funny. After all: #3 in amusement 10/22/22 #1 in banter 10/31/22 #3 in friendship 11/7/22Complete

Maya is brave, yet also afraid that her choices could lead her spiralling back into a bad place again. Will Noah be able to save her from herself? Or will he be the cause of her destruction? ---------------------------- ~Noah's pov~ 'These,' I slowly run my finger across one of her scars, 'are fucking beautiful.' Before she can object, I carry on. 'Maya you are beautiful beyond perfection. You are strong. You are brave. You are funny. You are sweet. You are incredible. Look at yourself,' I nod down towards the scars on her arm and she slowly glances down at them before meeting my gaze again, 'those scars are beautiful. Do you know why?' I ask her. She wipes a tear from her already tear-stricken face before she shakes her head. 'Because every time you decided to do that to yourself, you didn't go further, you didn't end your life. You decided to carry on living even when you thought you couldn't manage it. Those scars right there,' I gesture to them again, 'show the battles you won against yourself. They are your battle-scars and you shouldn't be ashamed of them. And you know what? I am so proud of you for making it to where you are today because you are a fighter and If I can see that, anyone can.'Complete
