Starting A Club And (maybe) A Long-lasting Relationship
the title is long, I know, but the story itself is a short little ball of fluff because I love fluff. (there's also mature stuff being talked about but it's mostly just fluff. I don't write smut. at least not anymore-- I'm talking to you, 13-year-old me. put down that pen! You little pervert!) this is a story about communication, mental health, maturity, sex (education, kinda) and a cute couple (IMO). it won't be long and it won't have as many characters as my other stories but it will be the most vulnerable piece of writing I'll ever share with a bunch of strangers online. And it's supposed to be in the YA or NA genre but since it doesn't exist in the available categories, I've tagged it as Teen fiction. now, without further ado, I give you: SACA(M)ALLR! -- You get to meet Viz, a girl with a bunch of undiagnosed disorders and self-esteem issues. You get to watch her meet Luke, a boy with a fear of genitalia and sex. You get to watch them interact and communicate freely. Lucky you. :DComplete

He looks me up and down one more time, before walking away, leaving me feeling violated and incredibly confused. Who the hell was that? And how does he know Hunter?" *** It's senior year, and Hunter and Mia are back to school, back together, and stronger now than ever before.
