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?

How to make your teacher fall in love with you by mrsduncanjames

In an instant his lips were on mine, and without even knowing how, I felt myself succumbing to him. I pulled away quickly, but both of his hands went around me as he caressed my cheek, and then his lips crushed against mine again, this time with much more urgency. I wanted to stop him, but I found that I couldn't. I let myself kiss him and give up what I believed in, after all, it was this that I needed to do if I wanted to succeed in the dare. And to be fair, I didn't really mind, Mr James was more than attractive. Ella is a typical seventeen year old girl who, on the first day of school, becomes friends with the wrong group of people, who threaten her to flirt with her teacher and make him fall for her. Ella is left with no choice but to do this, and day by day, she tries to get as close to her very attractive art teacher as she possibly could. However, in the midst of this, she starts realising that she actually does like Mr Edward James more than she thinks she ever would. On the other hand, her teacher struggles to stay away from the student whom he finds himself falling for. And at the same time, he has another struggle: he is being blackmailed by someone who knows all about his dark past, and his present: the interest that he has in a certain student.

The Other Guy (BoyxBoy) ✔️ by geekiechicforall13

"I walked over to where Aaron was sitting on the ground, kneeling so that I was face-to-face with him. He was wearing a blank expression on his face so I guess he didn't really care if I kissed him or not. I took in a deep breath before taking his face in both of my hands and swooping down to kiss him. At first, I was so nervous I didn't realize that we were already kissing but after a few moments, I realized how soft his lips felt on my own. Before I can register it I felt him moving against me. I would have gotten off of him but I realize that he wasn't moving to get away from me. No, He was moving his lips against mine." °°°°° Aiden Moore isn't extraordinary. He has average looks, he is OK with sports, and his only strong point is that he is smart (although that doesn't mean much to his fellow classmates). And, of course, his virgin ass has never had a girlfriend, let alone a crush. It seemed as if he would never find someone. That was until he met her, Scarlett Hale. She was the most beautiful girl you will ever meet. Kind, sweet, and one of the few people with a higher GPA then him, she was amazing and Aiden imagined that she would be all his. Once Aiden gets rid of her boyfriend, Aaron Tyler. The most annoying guy you will ever meet, Aiden gags just thinking about him. The man is smoking hot and makes Aiden's dreams of getting the girl to seem very impossible. So what would happen if Aiden gets involved with the wrong person? Will Aiden get the girl? Will he fall short? Or will he fall into the arms of a guy who is in love with the girl he loves? _______________________________________ WARNING: First book EVER! The best part about this book is that it has some funny bits and introduces you to characters I use for a while. But, if you don't like the writing, please consider one of my newer works 😊 Started: May 10, 2016 Completed: September 2016

Illicit ✔ by StephRose1201

**WATTPAD HQ EDITOR'S PICK Nov/Dec 2021** BOOK ONE in the STEAMY FORBIDDEN ROMANCE series Coralie Watson, a British thirty-year-old living in San Francisco, has a tormented past with men. Physical and mental abuse, abandonment issues, incompatibility--she feels like she just can't win, and constantly swears to herself that she'll remain single so she can focus on her burgeoning singing/songwriting career. After twelve years in the United States, she often regrets leaving London, her friends, her habits, and dreams of what life might have been like had she not moved. As she slowly settles into a new routine--and has, so far, kept her vow to stay celibate--her past refuses to give her a break. As she reencounters a former boss she'd had a crush on, someone else resurfaces into her life after many years of silence--a boy she met at fifteen, that she'd had deep feelings for. But now he's all grown-up and irresistibly handsome. She always considered him the "one that got away", and is shocked when he confesses he feels the same way about her. The problem? He's a successful business man who can't afford a scandal, he's married to a supermodel wife, and has two beautiful daughters. Yet none of that seems to stop him from making Coralie promise that next time she's in London, they need to meet and catch up... What's the harm in that? ♥♥♥ This is a work of FICTION. It will have fairly explicit language & sexual content (but I'll put warnings at the top of those chapters, in case those make you uncomfortable--though, hey, YOU CAME HERE FOR THAT, DIDN'T YOU?!)

Mr. Halloway's Pet by aataaraaxy

"If you loved me, I wouldn't be a secret." °•°•°•° Paige is the luckiest girl in the world...according to her and maybe every girl in Bishop High-that is if they knew her dirty little secret. Not only is she boning the hottest guy in school, but that guy happens to be Ethan Halloway, Bishop High's most beloved English teacher. As their scandalous flirtationship advances, Paige finds many obstacles in her path to winning him for herself-obstacles that allow her to both gain a new perspective and grow in a way she hadn't prepared herself for. ••• This story will be unhinged and everywhere, my mental has been wildin over the course of writing 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.

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.)
