Wistful Secret by pretty_scribe

Take a ride with Iris on this beautiful journey, where she learns to live with her past, an hopefully discovers secrets that help her find who she truly is. I sat over the boundary wall thinking all this all by to myself. Sitting on the terrace alone with those thoughts, was the only time I could be myself. Suddenly there was a thud. I was startled but held on firmly. No one is supposed to know I am here, what if they find out.. what will I do.......... I had no answers. With fear I turned around expecting someone familiar, someone who discovered me,my place and waiting for that nagging voice. But what I found was a guy, an unfamiliar face, which brought to me a feeling of relief. But at the same time I felt a strange sensation, feeling I don't know afraid. The guy, clad in yellow shirt and sweatpants, with messy jet black hair, and pretty eyes looking at me with a questionable look. I don't know just what to say. I am feeling I am being interrogated, but how can there be such an effect just with one expression? I mean I should be the one with questions, after all this rather unknown potentially dangerous guy just somehow jumps to my terrace and instead of giving an apology looks at me with those questionable eyes. I wonder who the hell he thinks he... "Ummm... Are u all right miss?"

Focus - Logicality by warrior_grape

It's hard enough being the new gay junior at a hole-in-the-wall homophobic high school, and Logan doesn't need such illogical things as love, friendship, or even feelings to muck up the one thing he has left: his meticulously-crafted master plan for the future, set to lead him without a hitch to the carefully-crafted dream he has had for himself since early childhood. But after a tangle with fate leaves Logan breathless, he seems to be stuck with the breathtaking Patton Foster-a boy so gentle, selfless, charismatic and endearingly childish that he seems to be akin to a golden retriever puppy: stubbornly persistent, ridiculously energetic, breathtakingly adorable, fiercely loyal, and worst of all, virtually impossible to shut out once a bond is formed. Logan learns quickly that both Patton and the universe may have spectacular plans for him-and he doesn't approve of any of them. ~*~ Hi! This is a Logicality high school AU with some Prinxiety. See first chapter for trigger warnings and a quick but relatively important a/n before reading. Liberal amounts of fluff and angst, but I don't do heartbreaking endings, so if you're into that, then I'm sorry, but it is angsty. I can guarantee you that.

Behind Closed Doors by Brooklyngirl1026

I never thought my life would be like this; trapped in a dark room and scared for my life. A blindfold was wrapped around my head, covering my eyes, making me completely blind and on high alert. My breathing was ragged and I could smell the mold that was most likely covering most of the room. My hands were tied behind my back, my feet tied together and I was sitting on the floor, propped up against a wall. I heard a slight shuffling across the room that was coming closer to me. I tried my hardest to keep my breathing under control to seem confident and fearless, but in reality, I was shitting my pants and squealing like a scared little girl on the inside. To say I was terrified was a drastic understatement. I was petrified, shaking with fear, but they were not going to know that. "Who are you?!" I demanded. If I was going to die, it would be with the name of my kidnapper. A voice boomed closely to me, "Well, if I told you that, this wouldn't be any fun." **************** Skylar James, a 24 year old girl, is kidnapped by a very well known gang who has a vendetta against her family. In an attempt to find light in her situation, she makes friends with one of the members. Logan Grant was forced into the gang at the young age of 16. He was abused until he became emotionless and ruthless, so that one day, he could rule the gang. Everything was going smoothly until Skylar is brought in. With a blindfold wrapped around her head, he instantly feels bad for her, though he cannot show it. Afraid of getting caught, he shows no emotion while others are around. Though, behind closed doors is a whole other story.
