A Different Kind of Love
Max was very different -- but in a unique way. That much Justin could figure out. He just couldn't figure out what was different about her. There was something about her that drew him closer and he just had to figure that out. But what happened when he found out? Did he discover he was way in over his head? Max tried to stay to himself for the most part. He hated the idea of someone calling him a girl to his face. Just the mere thought sent him in a spiral -- he wanted to take the thing out of his pocket to make him focus on something else. But he didn't. Often. Especially since he noticed the kind-eyed kid in the front of his class noticing him more and more. He didn't know what the boy wanted -- he didn't think it could be good. But what happened when he decided to trust him? Would he regret it? *Rated mature because of the topic -- there will also be self-harm and cussing and other things like that. Read at your own risk. *Story has been editedComplete

Chaotic Brains
✨✨✨✨ I was looking at the guy and he was still asleep. I leaned towards and slowly pushed away a few strands of his hair from his forehead and gently tapped on his arm. After a few taps, his eyes fluttered and opened but squinted his eyes to adjust to the brightness of the room. ✨✨✨✨✨✨ This is a story that takes place in a college. It's about two strangers who met for the first time in a weird way but end up being friends. This is a journey of six young people getting ready to be released into the real world. They go through a lot of ups and downs. Deal with their own issues and help their friends deal with theirs. They realize that nobody is what they look on the outside and definitely not perfect. They are gonna be some cliches, some plot twists and humor. Some cute lovey-dovey stuff and occasional mature content.Also will have stuff related to mental health and LGBTQ. So if this stuff bothers you, you might as well not start reading it. So this is sort of a trigger warning for those who are uncomfortable with any of the said content. And if you choose to read it, thank you, hope you enjoy it ✨ This is my first book. Hope you enjoy it ✨

What's Wrong With Us?
Deep in the breathtaking forests of California, there's a school unlike any other-a hidden haven for six teenagers from all corners of the globe. Life here isn't perfect, but it's normal... until it isn't. They laugh, they argue, they grow-bonded by late nights, inside jokes, and the magic of their differences. In this strange, beautiful mix of cultures and identities, growing up feels a little less lonely. But then something changed. Something cracked the core of their tight-knit circle- A fight? A betrayal? Or something else entirely? Now, with trust shaken and the future unclear, the question lingers: Can they find their way back to each other? "We're different. But that doesn't mean we have to shrink ourselves to fit what society expects." - MacKenzie Gauthier
