Kendell Kanton has spent almost her entire life up to this point doing exactly what her parents wanted. Keeping up the "perfect daughter" image, looking after her 5+ years younger siblings, which her mom labeled as "Housewife Practice", and dealing with all of the suitors that her mom had set up for her after she deemed them as "worthy" starting at the age of 16. She had to deal with this, along with struggling to hide her sexuality from her very close-minded and old fashioned parents. She started to lose hope of having a simple, happy life when suddenly, she walked into her life. One day, a few weeks after her 19th birthday, her parents set her up with a man named Adrian McNabb, a 20-year-old law student studying at Columbia University. He was nice, sweet, and everything a girl could want in a boy, but Kendell didn't want him and he didn't want her either. They decided to try and make it work for the sake of their parents complaining, but it just didn't. While they didn't work as a couple, they did work as best friends and continued to do what their parents wanted until one day, while hanging out at Adrian's house for the first time, his younger sister, Arianna comes home from touring a university across the country with her friend. What happens if Kendell starts to catch feelings after getting to know Arianna?

Until I Met Her
I was never the cool girl. Never the centre of attention. Hell, the first party I ever went to was because Kheli dragged me there when I was seventeen. Oh, Kheli... Kheli was my first love. My first everything. But once we finished high school, we parted ways. My plans were very clear: go to university, have fun, go to parties, maybe fool around at some point when missing Kheli got too much for me to handle. I don't know - the typical university life you see in movies. However, it was nothing like that. I was struggling to keep up with my assignments, my classes, all the drama, the parties, Kheli, the people, Pokémon Go - everything. I couldn't keep up with any of it. And then... Eleanor Williams did what she does best. She came out of nowhere and planted herself right in the middle of my world. And like a very fucking annoying tree, she set down roots and refused to move. And then I found myself - God, kill me now - enjoying being around Eleanor Williams. I found myself watering the fucking tree even when I knew it would only make the roots grow deeper, until there was no way of pulling it out. (Yes, sometimes I make very shitty metaphors. You'll get used to it.) But just because I was, much to my dismay, enjoying Eleanor Williams's company didn't mean she wanted me around.
I'm Not Gay, I Swear! | McPriceley
Kevin's parents had always known that something was a little different about their son, and they weren't quite sure on how they should deal with it. But when a new opportunity to "fix" him pops up, they immediately take it. Soon, Kevin gets his own Straight Companion, someone to help him keep away his gay thoughts and to make sure he stays emotionally healthy. But this new friend isn't exactly what Kevin was expecting, and finds it strange when he starts to get intrigued by this person. He shouldn't want to be interested in them-- rather, he wants to hate them for trying to change him. But how can he resist the charming Connor McKinley? ~Story based off a oneshot from ArchiveOfOurOwn~Complete

Anyone But Her
Wren and Kenna hated each other in high school. Now mature-ish adults, they still hate each other. The problem? They're engaged. A year away from marriage, according to two of the most powerful people in the world: their parents. ***** Wren Castile and Kenna Gold are engaged...because their parents say so (and no, they're not kidding). Wren has one year to marry her former nemesis, or else. The fact that Kenna emulated her infamously anti-gay father throughout high school seems to be irrelevant--even to Kenna herself. Suddenly Wren and the girl she never wanted to see again are on the same (bickering) side as they face mandatory dates, disastrous family get-togethers, and their unhappy past. Wren is filled with mistrust, but to protect her heart, she might just have to sit back and let it lead the way. Content/Trigger Warning: This story contains references to and/or scenes of homophobia, childhood trauma, bullying, violence, and suicide.

We Know Better
~Laina~ She is a teenage girl trying to find her place in the world, just like everyone else. It is senior year and to be honest she never thought she would even make it to this point. Her long-time best friend seems to be leaving her behind and she has no idea how to deal with disintegration of the relationship she has used to define herself for the past ten years of her life. She is scared, she is anxious, she is depressed, and she is desperately trying to navigate a universally hard time. ~Brendon~ He is just living life the way he wants to. For years, he has known Alaina and they've never been much outside of acquaintances. Until one day, he takes a chance and it seems like everything clicks right into place. They mesh so incredibly well with each other, so it only seems natural when they become close friends. And then, somewhere between the little windows into herself she lets him peak through and the reassurances, he fell in love. He is a safe place for her to understand and be herself, and all he wants is her happiness. They both know that when they graduate they'll be thrust into "the real world." They both know that high school isn't forever. They both know that they'll live drastically different lives. They most definitely know better than to let this go too far.

A Breath of Fresh Air
For 17-year-old high school senior Evan Brooks, life could be better. He's a social outcast at school, stuck in a rural Alabama small town he never wanted to move to, and he's got a secret he's desperately trying to keep: he's gay. When he embarks on a weekend vacation to the Florida panhandle with his hypermasculine brother, homophobic stepdad, and aloof mother, none of them can anticipate how much a simple 3-day trip will change their lives forever... **2025 Update: Hi! This was my very first attempt at crafting an entire story from scratch all the way back in 2020, and I'd like to think my writing has since improved. I've started working on a big rewrite project, so stay tuned for a newly enhanced story! Please visit the last chapter (2025 Rewrite Info/Updates) for more details. In the meantime, the original story will remain here in full - just know that I know some parts of it are cringe lol. I hope you still enjoy it though! :) Some details have changed between this story and Road to Rockdale in anticipation of the rewrite, so please excuse some inconsistencies if you're coming from that story. I promise everything will line up eventually! CONTENT WARNING/TRIGGERS: Please note that this story contains very strong language at times and some mature themes. Some characters face emotional abuse. There is also a small amount of physical abuse, but it is mostly implied apart from one scene which is not extremely graphic. Some characters are homophobic, and a slur is used a handful of times.Complete
For Just a Moment
What do you do when your smart, handsome, well-liked step brother and two of his friends force you to have sex with them in your own bedroom? Do you tell? And what if no one believes you? Or worse yet, what if the adults and even the friends that you count on think that it's somehow your fault? Sixteen-year-old Molly Kerrigan has a horrible secret, one so painful that she tries her hardest to forget it. Starting over at a new school, she does all she can to remain anonymous. But a well-meaning social worker hoping to help Molly come to terms with her troubled past, forces her to participate in an every-other-day lunch group. It is here that she meets Ali, who is figuring out her own sexuality, Trinity, so neglected at home that she seeks solace in the arms of older men, Rubi, a Mexican immigrant with her hands full, between her dying mama and younger, special needs sister, and Layla, the richest, most beautiful, and most manipulative girl in the school. Molly also draws the attention of charming soccer player, Noah Nazarian, after he sees her accidentally defending his freshman brother from bullies on the first day of school. Desperate to be left alone, Molly invents a pretend boyfriend. The only problem is that he ends up being not so pretend, and now Molly finds herself as one half of a fake relationship that is the obsession of the most popular clique at school.Complete
