"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;

Maze of memories by DawnOfTimes

People always say every life should be cherished. That every single one of them is equally fragile and precious. Like a beautiful glass sculpture or the blossoming flowers in spring. But the thing is, everyone's definition of beautiful is different. Some people prefer roses over orchids. Some of them like sculptures of people whereas others like sculptures of animals. And so there are times when even the most beautiful sculpture gets thrown away like trash or forgotten somewhere because they found one that's prettier. The beautiful flowers that bloomed in spring will wither away and eventually become nothing but dust. There are times when a sculpture in itself could be really beautiful but a tiny flaw will make people deem it as a "mistake". The flowers that are left to wither away just because they miss a leave, or because they aren't the right size or the right colour. So you see that saying about every life being equally precious?, yeah that only counts for the "perfect" ones. Still some of these faulty sculptures and broken flowers managed to make it into the world. They would be facing the harsh reality of this world and would have to fight to survive. Some of them would unfortunately lose this fight in the end, leaving to a faraway place in hopes to find peace and quiet. Still just being able to make it this far in this harsh world is something to be proud of, as friends and family will forever remember these brave individuals who fought hard to survive until the very end. - Kaylee de Leeuw

Second Chance by LDGilles

They have been best friends for eighteen years. Life happened and they lost touch... Seventeen years later, family and fate decided to give it another try. Gabe and Gabby both accomplished a great deal in their life. He is rich, handsome and successful. She is independent, smart, wealthy, not to mention gorgeous. He was named one of the most eligible bachelors, and she just wanted to find a guy that will love her... not her money. When Gabe saw Gabby for the first time after seventeen years, he knew exactly what he wanted. He just had to make her realize it, and Gabby was terrified. Coming on too strong and with so much passion was frightening for Gabby, but Gabe was persistent and would not give up this time. How else would he make her see him as something more than a best friend she grew up with? He didn't want to spend the rest of his life wondering what would or would not be. After all, seventeen years would not let him forget... Would he survive if she didn’t want the same thing?

You Like Me?! | ✓ by stillclo

"So, let me get this straight," I looked at him weirdly, raising my hands slightly in exclamation. "You like me?!" I asked him in disbelief. "Like or like-like?" I really can't get my head to process his words at the moment. "Is it weird that I don't." He simply replied, his voice sounded calm but serious at the same time. "And for your question, I do. I do like-like you. Like, I really like you. To the point that you're the only thing that's on my mind everyday and I can't seem to get you off it." I was literally standing there like an idiot, slowing blinking my eyes in a slow pace, still can't believe what's actually happening in front of me. ______________________________ ( Partially Edited.)

Losing the love of my life taught me that inactions have consequences. My new bookkeeping job teaches me that numbers don't lie, but people do. Sharing yoga with others is my refuge from the darkness pulling me to stay home. A ginormous pro football player barging into my classes isn't in my rehab plan. Worse, it's the cocky jerk who treats me like I'm too insignificant to remember. If only I could say the same. Sam Pearson is Houston's golden, champion-winning quarterback. He's arrogant, rude, and reckless. His agent, my brother, thinks I can rehabilitate his injured shoulder and spiraling ego to achieve a long-term contract. I think Sam needs a reality smack in his handsome face. I should hate his rebellious distractions, but I can't stop challenging him out of his comfort zone. After losing most of myself along with my other half, Sam's woken me up inside. He challenges me, irritatingly, which is exciting and scary. He's dangerously close to cracking open my closed-off heart, revealing the secrets holding me back. And yet, he might also be the second chance at love I thought I didn't deserve.

"You can't marry him Vaani" I said staring deep in her eyes gritting my teeth my chest tighten with unfamiliar and unbearable pain , just the thought of her being with someone else kills me so much. "Why?" She asked adding salt on my wounds anger consumed me at this moment, while tightening my grip on her arms and pulling her closer I let out a painful chuckle and said " Because he don't deserve someone like you he deserves someone much better" I could feel the burn in my eyes, my tears are fighting to rolled down my eyes but I didn't let them , hurting her is hurting me more than she could imagine. She remained silent tears rolled down her eyes damage caused by my words were clearly visible in her eyes , I am dying to hug her comfort her but the betrayal the, damge ,the pain I am carrying all these years stopped me from doing so. "Do you hate me this much Nirvaan?" She asked in painful voice looking straight in my eyes , my heart clenched painfully on her condition , I wiped her tears and whispered so softly that she can't hear it.

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

Unexpected Love by FullOfLove_18

I'm not perfect. That's what I am. It's what I've always been. How do I even begin to see myself as anything different when all I've ever been is the girl who isn't loved by anyone? I just want to be loved and accepted. It's all I've ever wanted. And all I've ever needed. I didn't think it was possible to have either of those until I met Raymond Knight. Raymond swooped into my life like a wrecking ball, rattling the very walls I built around myself to keep anyone from ever getting in. And without me realizing it, he knocked them all down one by one and did what no one was ever able to do. He taught me to see me.The real me. He saves me in all ways that nobody can. But is that enough for the both of us? "𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙛𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙 𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙢𝙚 𝙄 𝙙𝙞𝙙𝙣'𝙩 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬 𝙚𝙭𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙞𝙣 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙄 𝙛𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙 𝙖 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚 𝙄 𝙣𝙤 𝙡𝙤𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙧 𝙗𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙙 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡", 𝙨𝙝𝙚 𝙩𝙤𝙡𝙙 𝙢𝙚 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙚𝙮𝙚𝙨 𝙛𝙪𝙡𝙡 𝙤𝙛 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚.
