Some days, I feel like it would be easier if I was just like everyone else. If I knew the right clothes to wear, the right things to say, the right things to do. And I try, really I do. But it just seems like I'm getting everything wrong. I don't know what to say to people so I remain quiet, for the most part. I don't dress like other girls, I can be found in cargo pants and a T-shirt much more often than I'll ever be seen in a skirt or a dress. You know the type, tomboyish, glasses, hides behind a book, sits in her room on Friday night, blogging instead of shopping. That's me in a nutshell and I have no problem with it. Oh and by the way, this isn't going to be one of those girl meets popular boy and falls in love, let's be realistic here. This isn't one of those cliche fanfics (that I totally don't read by the way *cough cough*) where the nerd gets the guy of her dreams and lives happily ever after. This is high school after all.

Scholar
[COMPLETED] [Warning: Strong language used throughout the book.] He put his hand over my notebook and the other over mine. I glared up at him, his golden brown eyes catching my attention. "I can't write like this," I pointed out. "Is this all you care about?" Ryan asked. I shrugged. "Not this specifically, but yeah, I care about my grades." Ryan smirked. I swallowed nervously but refused to break my stoic expression. He leaned closer to me, my heart pounding so hard against my chest it felt like it might break out and fall on the table between us. His mouth was right by my ear, and I could feel his warm breath when he spoke which sent shivers down my spine. "Well, aren't you a little a scholar?" *** The only things Alex Moris ever cared about were his grades and his sister. However, when the boy his sister likes, Ryan Smithe, makes things complicated and causes him to feel things he's never felt before, Alex realizes that, maybe, there's more important things in life than grades and scholarships.

The Secrets Of Willow Bridge (BXB)
This sounds like the story with supernatural shit but it won't be relationships between supernatural stuff and humans there might be haunted shit but no relationships between people and supernatural things....ANYWAYS how is everyone I hope you're good. This will probably be the punk ass edgy guy known for breaking girls hearts because he's simply not interested because he's closeted falls for the popular jock that is as 'straight as a line' with everyone falling at his feet and only one catches his eyes. I called this the Secrets Of Willow Bridge because the school they go to is going to be called Willow Bridge high and the most popular guys in school being closeted is kinda a big secret of the school don't ya thinkComplete
From Nerdy to Popular ✔
==WARNING== I wrote this a couple of years ago and it isn't well written. I am hoping to rewrite this but for now this will be up. Before you read this you should probably reconsider since the plot is cliche in the worst way possible, some scenes are hard to follow and lets not mention the multitude of spelling errors and grammatical mistakes. SO READ AT YOUR OWN RISK DONT TELL ME I DIDNT WARN YOU Now for the $H!T Description: Let me introduce myself, my name is Rhea Lyon but in school I am known as Rhea Matthews or 'nerd girl'. My father owns the largest chain of high class schools, hotels and restaurants and my mother owns the most successful range of fashion. Everyone expects their daughter to be a beautiful supermodel, but what can I say? I care more about science and maths than I do for fashion. I am someone most people would call a nerd. I stay invisible to everyone except my best friend Jessica Fawk; no one in the school even knows that I am the sister of the school football team's captain. Then one day when I come home I discover something I never thought I would encounter. I decide that the bullying has to stop. Jessica and I change completely, from the nerds to the most popular girls in school. We learn to defend ourselves, how to be confident and we never let anyone step on us anymore. And on top of all of that....well, there are guys.Complete

Twisted
"I think I'm gay." I say, leaving out the part about my... exposing dream about him last night. I watched his expression, waiting for some sign that he was angry. I waited for him to call me a faggot, to curse me off and tell me he never wanted to see me again. Instead, I was greeted with his perfect toothy smile. "That's great man, I'm of proud you." He says, patting my arm as he stuffed another cracker in his mouth. "It takes some real balls to come out to someone." He says, his beautiful green eyes blazing into mine. I felt myself become flustered at his gaze. "Uh, Yeah, Thanks." I stumbled out, "You're not mad?" I ask. His expression turns to hurt as he crinkles his eyebrows. "Why the hell would I be mad?" He asks, hesitating on the crackers and pushing them away. "I just thought-it's just- well... you just always seem so pissed when someone mentions the word gay." I spit out words, scared for his reaction. He sighs, "That doesn't fucking mean I hate gays. Normally when I do that it's because someone's using the word 'gay' to hate on them, it just pisses me off, you know?" He asks, bringing the crackers back into his lap and biting into them. "Plus-" He adds on, "You're my best friend, if anything, you being gay is a blessing. I'll always support you." He says, glancing at me through the side of his eyes. I look away, towards the door to hide the crimson blush that I feel spread over my face. "Thanks." I all but squeak out. And that's the day I realized, I have a faint crush on my best friend. <><><><><< THIS BOOK IS BEING *MAJORLY* EDITED. THERES LOTS OF SPELLING MISTAKES AND NAME MIX UPS, SOME CHAPTERS WILL BE REWRITTEN Also, Please don't be mean to the characters, they aren't even close to perfect, but they don't deserve hate.Complete

Why would you love me? | Gay/MxM/BxB
[Recent Note: I'm not really proud of this story at all now, it's way too long and boring, you're free to dismiss it, but if you're into senseless fluff, lightning quick relationship growth, too much slice of life, and unrealistic and bland characters, you're in for a ride.] This story is heavily inspired on books like Heartstopper by Alice Oseman while still being different in it's own way (Who am I kidding it should be called plagiarism) Description: Two boys meet up on high school, one is gay and worried all the time and one is not and he's calm and fun, the worried boy gets a crush, but how would anything happen between the boys? - - - - - - - - - "What's wrong, Isaac?" "Uhm, it's nothing, i just didn't thought this would happen to me... Like i never thought... Why would you love me?" "Isaac, it's not why would i love you, it's why wouldn't i love someone that cute and caring." "I-i... Thank you." "Don't worry, i didn't think either that something like this would happen to me." "I love you." "I love you." - - - - - - - - - - Newer Note (Late May 2025) I hate this story, I truly do. Only reason it's up is because people have it saved and I don't wanna take it away from them. But if i were to rewrite the whole story now, it would be 50 times better. I just don't get the point of remaking this shameless plagiarism.Complete
