Junior year was a tough year for Carlo Monaghan. In a constant battle between anxiety, a crush, and a longing to be relevant, he clambered through the third year of high school, dragging his two best friends behind.

Junior year for Max was... well to say the least, weird. Not even Carlo knew how things were at home. 

And for Shauna, Junior year was hell. Maybe if she just ignored the F's lining up on her report card, they'd go away. Unfortunately for her, they don't.

Each of them caught up in their own messes, their story unravels, beginning with Monnie's basement and a few bags of Doritos.All Rights Reserved

Old or New? by mynameishaley

Beth was the loner, until she met Ty. He became her friend, not caring what his friends thought of him. She was happy with this. She had her one friend, that's all she needed. Until, her old best friend that moved away in sixth grade comes back, with her three year older brother, Alex, that Beth always liked. Except he's different than what she expected. He went through something. He covers up his pain with getting drunk and sleeping around every night. He doesn't have the light in his eyes like he used to. When Ty abandons her for a new girl, she makes it her mission to help Alex sober up and get better. But is he just a replacement for Ty?

For the booksmart yet naïve 16-year-old Nicky, high school in her quaint little hometown island in the Philippines had always been predictable. Until that senior year. Nicky thought she got things all figured out. She'd be very good at school and be the valedictorian of the single-section class of 2010 of the highly looked-up science high school in their island. And then, she'd get a full scholarship to her dream university. All was fairly well except for a few things like grappling her feelings towards a long-time crush. Just when Nicky thought she could get through high school without too much boy-drama, a somewhat seemingly love life with a boy or two and suddenly, maybe even three was finally catching up with her during the last few months before high school graduation. She had never thought she could be wrong about a person. And that she could always be wrong about boys... ✨✨✨ Sidenote: I wrote this from November 2010 to April 2011, only a year ahead from the time set in the novel. This was fully uploaded on Wattpad in September 2013 for safekeeping. I hadn't gotten back to it in so many years nor find any means and time to promote it. This had long been completed but still needs edit. Enjoy reading! Cheers! P.S. This is not exactly a love story. And yet, it may read a lot like it.

Mr. Match (BoyxBoy) ✓ by euwangabrielll

I'm Finn Vasco but that's not quite important right now. I'm a pretty sarcastic guy if I'm gonna be honest. I'm closed off and I literally only have one friend. I might hate everybody in my school... but there's this guy there. He's... let's say, dreamy, someone who I thought would never even acknowledge my existence. That guy who was too damn good to be true, who was too good for me, who was too good for... everybody! You get what I'm trying to say. He's that cliché king of the campus and a popular and attractive heartthrob and with just one wink, he can send people on their knees... That sounded so wrong, anyway. So can you blame me for being over the moon when one day, he approached me only to what? ...To ask for my help courting my freaking best friend. I knew it was stupid for me to hope I'd even have any chance with him anyway. So I just agreed to help him. Even if I was hurting myself and potentially my best friend in the process, my best friend who has been there with me through the thick and thins, I still did it... I mean what could go wrong besides literally everything? So my plan was to just set my crush and my best friend up, and then everything would be alright... right? But of course, life doesn't like it when people have it easy. *** Highest Ranking #2 on #lgbtfiction #5 on #boyxboy #6 on #gay #8 on #teenfiction *** ~ WARNING: This story contains strong language and bullying.
