"Ever since we came back from Regionals, you have been acting weird. And with everything you've been through, it's okay to feel this way. It's okay to not be okay, Blakely."
-
Blakely came back from Regionals victorious. The Next Step won Regionals and Blakely placed first with every dance she performed. She even got crowed Miss Absolute Dance. So, this means that The Next Step will be representing region 8 at Nationals.
And of course, that was not the only win for Blakely. She got away from her abusive father and she got together with Noah. Well, kind of...
But even though all of those positive things happened, she's still carrying a lot of mental scars around.
What will happen if her past keeps haunting her? What will happen if the pressure of Nationals gets too much? And what will she do when she's not feeling okay, but is too scared to tell anyone? What will happen to the relationship she has with Davis if she shuts her out completely? And what about Jacquie? Noah says he loves her, but why isn't he believing anything she says? What will happen when she meets someone new and is handed a very intriguing opportunity?
Follow Blakely on her journey to Nationals. I won't be easy. It will be filled with emotions of hurt, heartbreak, loneliness, but also with joy, love and happiness.
Blakely is a very strong girl, at least that's what everyone keeps telling her. But even strong people have a breaking point.

Sorority Squabbles [COMPLETED]
Blakely isn't the prettiest girl with her dark brown hair and green eyes. She doesn't catch every guys' eye. She's more of a social butterfly and doesn't care what your religion, race, or sexuality is as long as you're a decent person. Her best friend's name is Maggie. She's the kind of girl to sit and read comic books and dye her hair blue. She's not a typical covergirl but no one is. She's not afraid to be different and stand out. She has a dark past and a few scars but it makes her the person she is today. One day as Blakely and Maggie were walking, they bumped into the popular kids known as the Zetas. It's basically a homemade sorority, and not the good kind. Like the kind of homemade coloring from a 2 year old that goes on the refrigerator and suddenly "disappears" into the trash can. One Zeta stands out; Oliver. He moved here last July and joined Leadlif University. No one knows much about him other than Maggie's boyfriend; Jay. Everyone calls him Jumbo (as in Jumbo Marshmallows) because he did the chubby bunny challenge and succeeded by stuffing the whole bag in his mouth. Oliver's a guy who's smile lights up the room. (I know that sounds cliche but just bare with me). His light brown hair and hazel eyes catch every existing females' attention. She thought no one would notice her until one day Oliver decided that different wasn't all bad after all.Complete

[Wattpad's Summer Reading Checklist 2022 Pick / 2025 Wattpad Pride Pick] "'Hella heavy' is your response to seeing me with a literal fish tail?" "Sorry. Should ... should it be something else? Wait, does this mean that you can't eat sushi?" * * * * * When Alyssa shows up in Hulhazy Front a week after wiping the memory of her partner, she's terrified of ruining everything again. Her brother and dad are convinced she'll be okay as soon as she's able to "move on", which makes no sense to her, because they sound like the exact same thing. Alyssa doesn't care about moving on--she just cares about hiding the fact that she's a mermaid from this new small town, and especially her new coworker, Elliot. Elliot has spent the past year trying to figure out how to be out. It seems that every time she finds some kind of balance, something has to happen. Her parents say something homophobic before she's about to confess her "big secret," or her old friends from the swim team make some jab about all the things they're convinced Elliot did sophomore year. She's planning on her summer consisting of working at the public pool, hiding her sexuality, and third-wheeling it up with her best friends, Neema and Duncan. Until, of course, she meets Alyssa. *cover created using graphics from freepik*Complete
