Some people were born into lives that seem to be written by boy band-obsessed fan girls, or introverted poets, or dreamers that never stop floating into the clouds. With lives full of conflict and interest and changes, they just simply made chameleons of all the other living stories in the nooks and crannies of the chocolate box of life. And Shane was just that — he was just another chameleon.
Until a certain note from a certain someone threatened to change that.
As Shane blindly chases love in the search for the girl of his dreams, will he ever meet this mysterious “piano player”? Or will he let his ignorance blind him from finding that something — or someone — who can possibly change the way he looks at the world?

𝟏𝟖+| I was said to be 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐝𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐝, 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐢𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞... 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐮𝐧𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞. I had heard it so much in my life that it had manifested into a truth that remained rock solid in my brain. It consumed every surface of my body and mind like a deadly cancer It had become a promise to myself. A reminder. A standard. It was a rule applied to every person in my life, except him... He was the same as I was; no matter how different our outside identities were. We were cut from the same cloth on the inside. There was no denying that he and I were both broken souls left in a broken world. Both craving an eternal slumber before we met, but his darkness played so well with mine that suddenly it began feeling more like light, warmth, goodness... a happy ending. "...𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗳 𝗻𝗼 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗲𝗹𝘀𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝘀𝗮𝗶𝗱 𝗶𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲... 𝗜 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂," --------------------------- Partying. That was the one thing Chandler did best, and everyone in town knew that. But when one of her parties get out of hand and the cops are called, she's in for a rude awakening as she comes face to face with the new guy in town: Officer Herrera. He's wasn't like the usual officers she dealt with, and she finds that out quite quickly as she gets dragged away to jail for the night. They both wish to never see each other again, but there was something stronger than their dislike for each other keeping them together. The stronger their dislike grows, the more attached they become, until the lines become so blurred that they can't tell the difference between hatred and love anymore. They could say they hated each other, but if anything, a small part of them knew it would turn into love. If that love would last once everything was revealed... It was only a matter of time before they found out. ----

Escaping His Games - Sports Romance
The guy pushes his hood off and runs a hand through his untamed hair. I notice it shaking from where I'm standing, so I'm sure the pharmacist does too. Probably not the best strategy if you're shopping for drugs. "I just. . . It's fine, okay. What was the name of the other pills you said I could purchase?" he asks, barely keeping it together. ----- Colin's terrified. He can't close his eyes without wondering if his father is lurking around every corner. He's worried he'll lose his scholarship and lies awake praying he can take his team to victory this year as their new team captain. It's driving him insane too that everywhere he goes, Jade's there and she isn't scared backing down from a fight with him. He needs to get her out of his system. It isn't until she's weaseled her way into every part of his life that he realizes there may be something more to this relationship than he expected. So that's just another thing to add to the list of what's keeping him up. Jade's romantic life is far from ideal, so when proposed with the idea of a one-night stand with a guy who knows how to push all of her buttons, Jade says yes hoping that it will help her forget. The only problem, that one night stand has turned into a friendship, which has turned into sleeping together almost every night. It's fine though, because Colin has trouble sleeping, and Jade's a great "friend".Complete![Don't Worry, I'm Here [VIXX LEO/ JUNG TAEKWOON] ~Currently Editing~](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/55610949-256-k407768.jpg)

To See Me as You Do (Slow Updates)
#1 in MeandYou (June 14, 2025) #5 in QuietBoy (July 9, 2025) #4 in Quirky (Feb. 24, 2026) Before I can help it, I grin ear to ear, and his softened gaze starts to fade. His eyes narrow into slits, "Don't you dare-" "What do you call a fish wearing a bowtie?" Instantly, Sawyer frowns, an unimpressed expression on his face. I smile, grabbing his cheeks and squishing them, "Don't make that face!!! C'mon, you gotta ask!! What do you call a fish wearing a bowtie?" He glares at me, "We're not doing this shit, Mari-" "Yes, we are!!" I let go of his face, "You ready?!!" "No." "I'm gonna say it." "You better not-" "SoFISHticated." "You're a dumbass." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *Slow Burn, Lengthy Chapters, Long Story* This Story Takes Place in 2023-2024 Marianne Parker and Sawyer Cortez are complete opposites of each other. Marianne is a dad joke loving, talented musician who believes in finding the good in everything around her. Always smiling, laughing, kind to everyone, and an optimist. With a bubbly attitude and an outgoing personality, she's always looking to make a new friend. An all-around ray of sunshine. Sawyer, on the other hand, is a sarcastic, blunt, rude, and pessimistic bookworm. He doesn't believe there could be good in everything. He doesn't smile, doesn't laugh, and isn't interested in making new friends. Let alone, socializing. Hell, he BARELY tolerates his own friends. The total definition of a raincloud. Marianne's looking for a fresh start, and Sawyer wants a normal year of high school. When he meets Marianne, it becomes all too clear that there's something about her he can't ignore. From the way she walks, talks, laughs, and smiles, it's all distracting and unfamiliar to him. And, of course, he doesn't like that. In his efforts, he tries to ignore the feelings and avoid HER at all costs. But, that can be hard when the girl in question is EQUALLY interested in him too. Started August 2023 - ????

Based on a dream, which was a really good one, that I decided to add some things to it to make a great story. Once Krissy meets Ryan, she is melting. She loved him as soon as she saw him.

Krissy knows that he probably doesn't like her back, and that they will never be together, but every conversation or text message makes her love him even more. She just wishes that she didn't like him, so that she wouldn't feel so sad to be without him. But, she can't live without him. She has been waiting for someone like him all her life, but how can they be together? She has other problems, too. She has to deal with her dirty cousin, her other cousins love triangle, skunks, bats, fist fights, crazy parties, her best friend who can't get in a relationship, and a creepy player who won't stop bothering her. And what happens, when each of them are put in a life or death situation? Can they save each other?

Laws of Motion
Newton's Three Laws of Motion: Every object in a state of uniform motion will remain in that state of motion unless an external force acts on it. Force equals mass times acceleration. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. In Aurelia's and Shane's case the Laws of Motion seem to be the acting sense of their relations. Aurelia Naya James, a girl who seems to be extremely put together and seemingly has her future plotted out by the very second. She's closed off, but incredibly warm and friendly. Aurelia is plus sized and doesn't know her worth. She has nothing, but works for everything. Shane Carson Brantley, a boy who seems to be perfect and seems to be extremely privileged. Bad boy is not in his vocabulary, however, a gentleman is in his vocabulary. He has everything, but hasn't worked for much. What happens when they are the speedy external forces to impact each others lives.... Will their oppositions equally react? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "This all makes fucking sense. What was this? Some kind of sick joke? Let's see who can get the big girl into bed first, right? Let's see who can open up the closed girl, right?" "Fuck... no!" he quickly retorted, following behind me. "Just listen!" I kept going, completely ignoring the fact that it was the first time he ever cursed in my presence. This was my first time threatening him, but I'd do it again. "Move before I put you on your ass!" I cursed at him, carelessly. "Just leave me alone!" I moved pass him, but he held onto my wrist tightly. "No! I'm not leaving until you hear me out!" he yelled, boring into me with those beautiful green eyes. They didn't lose their affect, I don't think it's possible. --------------------------------------------------- Trigger Warnings and Mature Content COMPLETED *Currently in the process of editing*
