'It is only through the degradation of the soul that you can know who you really are; when all else is stripped away, leaving you bare.'
'
Livia Wazen: black sheep of the Wazen family, caught up in her own drama, 'call you out on your bullshit' type, unconcerned with her reputation, secretly a softie.
Julian Reed: joker of the crew, undeniably friendly, defined by his family's scandals in an elite society, shamelessly genuine, weighed down with constant guilt.
They might not share a lot, but they have one thing in common: they once lost everything.
'
This is a story about two scarred souls on a journey of redemption, who happen to meet along the rocky road.

Cynical Souls
COMPLETED✅ Two high school teenagers finding themselves, analyzing this ever changing world, and building love. This is the type of love you wish you found in high school but probably know way too well that it only exists as fiction. Today I'm turning my fiction to reality. ❣️•••❣️ Excerpt: Just as I was about to seek shelter under some building's roof, the tires of a car come to a halt, I wonder who might pity the lonely girl walking in the rain. The passenger window rolls down, and I spot the most unexpected person seated behind the wheel. "Get in" comes out his voice, and I must've stood there agape for a few moments because next comes his rhetorical question. "Are you getting in or continuing walking in the rain?" Eyebrows raised expectantly. He sounds annoyed, like he regrets his decision to ever stop and help me. ❣️•••❣️ #5 in cynical #2 in loveandfriendship #1 in opinionated #4 in ihatelife #10 in nerdgirl #10 in HighschoolRomance #26 in GoodGirlBadBoy *contains mature themes. *contains cursing.Complete

I just wanted to survive college without embarrassing myself in front of Morgan-who, for the record, is everything I'm not. He's confident, charming, and somehow even looks good doing laundry. I keep telling myself it's just a crush, that the late-night talks and inside jokes don't mean anything. But every time he smiles at me, it feels less like a phase and more like falling. He's completely out of my depth. Morgan // Liam's chaos shouldn't be my problem, but somehow, it's become my favorite part of the day. He's awkward, loud, and way too easy to care about.

Charming, cocky, and hotter than the sun, Damien has this talent for getting under Nate's skin like no one else can. Worse? He's tempting. Like, moth-to-a-flame tempting. And those stolen glances Damien gives-like Nate's the most precious thing on earth? They're not helping. Damien is off-limits and trouble-a heartbreak in human form, the ultimate fuckboy.
