The reader can freely decide the protagonist's gender, as it remains unspecified across the first POV. 

Curious by nature, Noah Westwood's seemingly uneventful college life takes an unexpected turn when saved by Jamie O'Dea, a dashing member of a band on the rise with secrets of his own. Little did Noah know that a mild interest during his music tour would turn into something more: a connection. Facing a premature existential crisis and an irrational fear of death, Noah finds purpose in life for the first time.

With only several hours left to bond and time ticking against them, they attempt to learn more about each other through deep conversations about life, death and everything in-between, all while exploring hidden wonders of different cities.

Confronted by an inner voice, Noah's deadly obsession grows stronger by the minute but Jamie's demons are holding him back. What happens when success and desire clash? Will these secrets be enough to tear them apart? Ultimately, will love prevail?

Meet Me After Class by LeighFrankie

So who will it be for this hopelessly unromantic girl? The brooding best friend? Or the young and unquestionably attractive substitute teacher? They say every person is worth the potential heartbreak of relationships not working out. That's why people still take that leap. But not me. Never been kissed, never had a boyfriend-I was pretty convinced by now that I was one of those mega-rare exceptions to the rule; the unlucky sap was just not worth the risk. And I'm totally fine with that. Romance and heartbreak? Not worth the hype in my book. Until life decided to get all snarky on me. "Fooled you, idiot! You'll get your love story...just not at all how you wanted it." Before I know it, I'm swept up in romantic turmoil more dramatic than anything my wildest playwright fantasies could dream up. Getting these very real, very adult feelings for the first time is bloomin' confusing. Lines will blur, tough choices will be made, and hearts will be deliciously broken. So who will it be for this once-hopelessly unromantic girl? My brooding best friend? Or my young substitute teacher?

Chill Out, Sir by RandomCatxx

(COMPLETED AND EXTREMELY CRINGY AT TIMES. MANY PLOT HOLES TOO LOL. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED.) When 17-year-old Danielle Brooks is caught for underground fighting, she didn't know what to expect. Having left an abusive household and school at the age of 15, Danielle was left to fend for herself. Now back in high school to finish her senior year, what she really did not expect is to see a certain someone by the name of Matt Roberts, the grumpy guy who had fought with her just before she was caught. To top it off, he's her English teacher. Danielle is certainly not prepared for what is to come, especially when a piece from her abusive past has come back to get her... (First of all, I wrote this is 2011 when I was only 13 and this story plot was the hype in Wattpad. I admit this story is extremely cringy at times but I still feel hurt seeing some placing this under "Trash" or something like that considering I had taken so much time and effort to complete this for those who did appreciate this.)

The main character is going to be kind of everywhere with her feelings and honestly it could be a representation of how differently someone with bp feels daily and how frustrating not having a grasp on the mind and emotions can be. On that note; ***TRIGGER WARNING*** Mentions of depression, suicide, and mental illness will be heavily laced into this story.
