Fake Sam
Logan- the typical. he's not always good with girls, never being able to understand their motives, but enjoys being around them. He's not a bad boy or anything, just about the opposite in fact. but, he IS a great friend, and always the one to depend on. Sam- her body image is way below average. even though she seems normal, deep inside, well, not too deep, just about skin-deep, she is way too worried over the things that shouldn't matter, but do anyway in todays society: weight. She's not fat or anything, just self-conscious, and very lonely. Put them together, things actually don't appear to clash. But when Logan moves from California, to Michigan, he notices that he isn't going to be able to avoid this girl. Especially since she "just so happens" to live in the room directly across from his. There is one question though, is this just a coincidence, or is it fate? If you've read this far bless your soul. I love you and the thousands of other people who have stumbled upon this little piece of my history, I am glad to announce I am editing this book currently, be sure to check it out once I'm done.

In the United States, a new disease has surfaced and has a fatality rate of 100%. There is no medicine which can cure this disease. The disease destroys the body from the inside, causing organs to burst, poisons bloodstreams, shuts down vital organs, causes the bones to crystallize and in severe cases, welcomes in the other diseases. The only way to fight such a disease is through the power of will. Only the will to survive can best the disease, causing it to slowly go away as the body fights back. As the victim wants to survive and fights the disease, the better chance they have. But, everyone who has caught the disease gives up hope, and dies a slow and brutal death. This disease is known as Stigma X, or STX. Meet Ashley Reynolds, an 18 year-old girl, who is a senior in high school. Ashley comes from a family who grants her nothing but misery, and hates her very existence.

For her senior year, Ashley moves into her aunts mansion in order for Ashley to live the life every child deserves. There, Ashley encounters new friends and a guy who has changed her outlook on life. However, the disease inside of Ashley is starting to eat away at her, and the attacks from it causing her excruciating pain. Will Ashley give up on life before she gets a chance to live it out properly? Will the anguish and suffering Ashley endured for her entire life be too much for her to want to continue living?Complete

Age regression is a coping mechanism and isn't sexual at all. Please do not put this book in ddlg or age play list because that's not what this is. I am putting my book back up Wattpad had taken it down so if this seems familiar to you it probably is the original just got taken down. I don't remember exactly what I put in the description the first time I put it up so it might be a bit different this time but I assure you it is the same book and nothing has changed in it other than the fact that the characters birthdays are now on the character page.

and Rory was her name
(not checked for SPAG) Aurora Montgomery, quiet and cold. Waiting for someone to help her out of her misery. No one came. After losing too many people in her lifetime, she becomes a person who's so worn down that no one could pick her up. She feels broken. She finds herself in senior year and while she's got an IQ of 145 and skills that could last her years if she were to list them all, it's still hard for her. Throw one snarky bad boy called Kingsley Nightingale, him being your fake partner and him being a dickhead to you into the mix, and what was supposed to be her life would be hell. But is it really hell? Because I'm pretty sure hell doesn't end up in real relationships. (This is a happy ending story though I feel as though 13 year old me did not think the name through!) (Set in 2018 (shes 18 in 2018) for the sake of your minds and my own, the maths needs to add up for me. If anything in my story is ahead of its time, don't correct me :))Complete
