Saints can't be seen with thieves, drug addicts, and sluts. Contrary to popular belief, high school hallway hero Clay Appleson is no saint and she is no ordinary slut. A Mask in A Mirror is the story of these two star crossed lovers as they battle to save a friend from himself.
  
  She is a genius bombshell who refuses to share her feelings or smarts with the world. Clay is a natural born leader who surrounds himself with what his classmates consider to be the wrong kind of people. Unable to overcome the pressure of public opinion he covered his face with a proverbial mask; a trick which he learned from his first and truest love. Except the mask she wears came with short shorts and a V-neck. Despite being on opposite ends of the public spectrum both must learn to embrace who they really are when they find a mutual friend hanging on the edge of despair.
  
  This touching physiological adventure lifts the reader up with the wondrous power of young love. A feeling which will lead to a harsh reality check when our morally ambiguous protagonists begin to learn the true depths of depression.All Rights Reserved

His Sweet Lies by moonprince87

Her brows furrowed. "You look like you have something specific you wanna ask me." The tips of Liam's ears turned red at Emma's very accurate observation. "I, uh... I usually just bullshit my way through projects, so I have no idea what the hell I'm doing." The corners of Emma's lips formed a small smile. Liam arched his brow. "What are you smiling at?" Her smile widened. "Nothing." Ever since Emma started going to Silver Creek High, she's been bullied over her discolored eyes. It all started when a boy brought attention to her in biology class one day, laughing at her and calling her a "freak" while the rest of the class laughed along with him. She never looked at him or saw his face; she just ran out of the room crying. She was now an outcast labeled as a freak and she wanted nothing more than to just disappear. She felt she had no purpose in life. Until her sophomore year when she fell in love with Liam, the guy every girl wanted; the guy every dude wanted to be. He had stolen her heart and she now wanted nothing more than to be with him. Unfortunately, Liam seemed to want nothing to do with Emma. He seemed to be straight up avoiding her. They never interacted for 3 whole years. That is, until now in their senior year, when they get paired up for a school project. The two must put their differences aside and try to work as a team. But as they spend more time together, feelings grow deeper, and secrets start to rise to the surface. Warning: Contains mature language, sex, and topics of bullying, sexual assault/harassment, self-harm, and suicide

Porcelain Skin (NOW ON AMAZON KU) by kario12

"When I tell you that he hates me, you'll probably assume it's because he's a jerk...but you'd be wrong. He's not a jerk. I am." --- Several years ago tragedy struck Emma's home, leaving her broken... like a cup with cracks spiraling and slithering around the edges. Slowly, bitterness crept in like tar, hardening between each fracture to resemble a deceitful wholeness. She became a monster, and targeted her venom on the sweetest person she could find: Trinity Nixon. Too bad the boy Emma longed for was Trinity's brother. Now, as Emma fights to win the heart of the boy who despises her, she's forced to hide her demons. She paints her fragile cup in pinks, yellows, and oranges - all the colors of the sun. She paints on a smile, and an unusual sense of humor, so that the world will view her as bright and cheerful, when in reality she's breaking. But she's completely unprepared for the acidic truth that melts away the tar, demolishing her shell, and awakening the Emma White buried deep inside. --- Book 1 in The Dismantled Pride series *Story was previously titled "Faking It"

That if you did you wouldn't be able to control yourself anymore? ~~~ Editing in progress. Previously titled 'Lily'. ~~~ #287 in teenfiction - Feb. 11, 2020
