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

"Tell me. Why won't you tell me?" He asks and I look towards him slowly, "You didn't even talk to me until yesterday! I'm trying to make it so nobody notices me, Kingston. I don't need this." I say and he slowly turns my face towards him, closing my locker and pinning me up against it. "What if I need you?" He asks and I roll my eyes. "Nice one, Hamlet." I say, walking away from him.

My Way- Daddy Issues
Sixth form in East London isn't just about coursework and deadlines. It's about secrets whispered between best friends, loyalty tested when you least expect it, and choices that blur the line between right and wrong. Timothy has the brains, Michael has the charm, Arnissa has the fire, Milly has the secrets, Irene sees more than she lets on, and Mo has the steady loyalty that holds the group together - even as everything around them threatens to fall apart. But when hidden truths start surfacing - blackmail, betrayal, forbidden desires - their worlds collide in ways none of them are ready for. Spicy isn't it. If only we knew we were in the good old days when we were in the good old days. September. Everyone's least favourite month. The full stop of summer is where we begin as we follow the lives of these teenagers as they navigate through the twists and turns of life before adulthood. As someone who started the first draft of this book at 16 and now 21 I can definitely say I had a lot of personal experiences in a lot of these topics. Trying to become successful or just trying to keep your mental health in check there are so many things we try to juggle at this age so come along lets see just how many twist and turns await us. Tr I'd also like to say please do bear with me I only got a grade 5 in English😭😭🙏.
Where We Were Meant To Meet
"Teenage relationships are fake." That's what most people say. They think it's just drama, temporary attraction, and silly heartbreaks. But sometimes... teenage love can be more pure, more intense, and more real than anything else. This story is about that kind of love. In this book, you'll see how different two people can be .. not just in background, but in how they see the world. The girl belongs to a rich family. She's bold, smart, and knows what she wants. The boy comes from a middle-class home. He's calm, simple, and scared of getting into something as confusing as love. Still, destiny brings them together. They're both toppers, both talented, both teenagers. But when it comes to love .. their thoughts don't match. She falls first .. slowly, softly. And he falls later .. but when he does, he falls harder than ever. This story is not about perfect people. It's about real emotions, silent stares, late-night thoughts, innocent fights, handwritten letters, and unspoken promises. It's about teenage love .. raw, messy, honest. You'll laugh with them. You'll cry with them. You'll smile at their small wins and feel your heart ache at their misunderstandings. Because this book isn't just about romance. It's about growing up, falling for someone when you least expect it, and learning that love doesn't care about status, fear, or timing. So welcome to this journey. A journey where she fell first... and he fell harder. A beautiful, imperfect, unforgettable teenage love story.Complete
