"In romance, a rose is what's preferred, there's even a show where the one a person loves is based on who they give the single rose to. Ray isn't a rose. He's not preferred. He's more of a sunflower. A sunflower grows in the direction that the sun rises because it loves the light and heat but when that sunflower has no sun, it's just a flower. A sunflower depends on others to be what it was."

     17-year-old Ray Apollo starts off his senior year with two goals in mind:

     1) Get into Stanford University (a scholarship would be nice)

     2) Get a life

     With only two simplistic goals and a college boy with a cute smile by his side to help achieve his second goal, Ray believes that he's finally gonna have control over his life again, something he hasn't had since he was diagnosed with clinical depression but, he should've expected that it wouldn't be that easy. After the foundation he built at the beginning of the year crumbles to dust, he realizes that to achieve the second goal, he needs to learn to love someone he hasn't felt much appreciation for in awhile;

At the End of the Day by goldmelanin17

[COMPLETED] "We both agreed, Apollo! We said no feelings, no attachments! You promised you wouldn't get attached." I look down at my lap in worry and shame. I have no idea what to say, I promised her, but like an idiot I broke that promise. "Say something!" My breath hitches and I look up at my beautiful girl through my lashes, my eyes brimming with tears because I know after tonight we won't be seeing each other again. I stand up from the edge of the bed and walk over to her, watching as her chest moves up and down harshly with each breath. My eyes trail over the love marks I left moments ago when we were happy to only get lost in each other's arms temporarily. She's mad at me. I never wanted her to be mad at me. "I'm sorry, baby," I whisper reaching forward to run my finger along her cheek catching the falling tear that flows down her soft skin. "You promised." She whispers. I know. "I promise I'm not attached, Blue." Too late. ••• Apollo and Blue have a few things in common. They're both lonely, they're both sad and they both attend the same university, a place where they stumble upon each other for the first time. So when the two decide to keep each other company by forming a causal relationship, the hard-headed Blue sets clear instructions for Apollo. Do not get attached. #2 Dark // 7 April 2022 #1 Interracial // 8 April 2022

SWEET REVENGE by monica23031

The exact words he threw at my face still haunts my dreams every single night and I think I'm starting to believe him. "Wish I've never met you I was so young and stupid, no wonder no one wanted to be with you, you are just holding me down and I honestly just got bored, needed a new chapter in my life that was the main reason I did what I had to do to keep myself happy. I just don't want to lie to myself anymore. I can't do this. I need to be free for once in my life. I'm so relieved that I don't have to marry you anymore, it's like a dead weight lifted from my shoulders. JUST LEAVE! GET OUT NOW! '' I just didn't know what to do that day I way so shocked, one minute we were one big happy family and the next he throws everything we build up as a family. I should had been warned by his actions the last month that we spend together. He knew that he was my first for everything and that gave him a push on his ego. Always bragged about being my first and claiming power over the situation. I was blinded by all of his charms and I see that now, I'm so sorry I did not listen Laura, you were just trying to protect me , that's what best friends are for but I chose him and I am truly sorry. I promise I will get a way to show him that I am not just a waste of space and I am going to do it all just for me and my baby girl. **WARNING** Sexual language and mature content Read at own risk ;) https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Monicanaude

Home for the Summer (BOYXBOY) by dreamy_lights

Maybe getting a girlfriend, maybe going to a party. No matter what he did, it needed to be big: Something utterly life changing. The only issue? Nicolas Young. While 5 years ago, Apollo and Nicolas had been best friends, these days, they never spoke. Nicolas lived across the country and Apollo was a bit too stubborn to reach out. When Apollo's mom let him know that Nicolas would have to fly from Vermont to California and spend the entire summer in their house, Apollo knew he was doomed. What he didn't account for was how utterly life changing their new friendship would become. 🌊🌊🌊 90,880 words Some content may be upsetting to certain readers!

Sunflower Love by o_happiness_o

Sunflowers bloom and are usually cut once fully grown. They're marvelous flowers. Bright and magical, plus they smell absolutely wonderful. The catch is that once they're cut they might never come back, but if they do they'll never be quite as beautiful as they were when they first blossomed. My Sunflower loves came in all forms; a boy named Michael, a girl who adored bugs, and a picture taken by a guy I knew as Liam. But Theodore Cade Montgomery was determined to make sure he wasn't a Sunflower. I am way out of my league when I stand beside him, but he never seems to want to let go of my hand. ❁ ~-- I wish they told me how hard it would be to navigate through dating if you never experienced a relationship in high school. I wish I was informed about the difficulty of approaching and being approached. I wish that it was easier and that somehow I wasn't destined to screw it up. "Why do you keep calling me Benji?" "Because anyone can call you Winnie," Theo leans his forehead against mine, his eyes piercing mine as our breath flirts between us. "I can't stand thinking that I'm just anyone to you." --❁-- 73k+ words~
