When a shitty middle school experience and an even shittier life at home embittered the child prodigy, Madeline Trost, she becomes a judgemental and proud loner with a knack of identifying the worst of everyone and even greater talent of bringing it out of them. She just wants to pass through her high school days quickly and peacefully. That means no drama, no complicated relationships, and no friends. All she needs to do is ace high school, finish college, find a well-paying job, then get the hell out of her house, that's it.  
   
When transferees, Atrias Wright and Apollo Davis, whom Madeline thought were just two cardboard cutouts of the gorgeous, popular girl and the broody, hot guy archetype joins her class, she just wants to stay out of their way, as any sort of acquaintance with them could attract unwanted attention and drama. However, circumstances seem to keep bumping them with each other, and soon realizing that Atrias and Apollo weren't how Madeline originally thought they'd be and were in ways similar to her, the three of them begins a high school journey deviating from Madeline's original plan--a journey that'll transform them from being just intelligent, pessimistic narcissists into something... more.

Cynical Souls by DramaQueenforreal

COMPLETED✅ Two high school teenagers finding themselves, analyzing this ever changing world, and building love. This is the type of love you wish you found in high school but probably know way too well that it only exists as fiction. Today I'm turning my fiction to reality. ❣️•••❣️ Excerpt: Just as I was about to seek shelter under some building's roof, the tires of a car come to a halt, I wonder who might pity the lonely girl walking in the rain. The passenger window rolls down, and I spot the most unexpected person seated behind the wheel. "Get in" comes out his voice, and I must've stood there agape for a few moments because next comes his rhetorical question. "Are you getting in or continuing walking in the rain?" Eyebrows raised expectantly. He sounds annoyed, like he regrets his decision to ever stop and help me. ❣️•••❣️ #5 in cynical #2 in loveandfriendship #1 in opinionated #4 in ihatelife #10 in nerdgirl #10 in HighschoolRomance #26 in GoodGirlBadBoy *contains mature themes. *contains cursing.

Because of Haven Beach by GemmaMari10

"The moon's really beautiful, if you think about it," I blurted. "Yeah?" he asked, mild amusement and curiosity mingling in his voice. "Yeah," I confirmed. "It's just- there's something about the moon that's ethereal. I don't really know how to describe it, but it's a constant in life. You can't always see it, but you have to trust that it's out there somewhere. And when you can see it, it's all bright and shiny and overcomes the darkness." I paused, searching for the right words. "I don't know. I guess it's a reminder that there are good things out there, even if you can't see them... And it's cool to think that someone hundreds of miles away is staring at the exact same moon as you. It makes me feel not so alone in life." Turning my head, I saw him staring at me intently with a thoughtful look on his face. "Too deep for a Friday night?" I laughed nervously, feeling my face grow hot. And this was precisely why I didn't go to parties. He shook his head and seemed to snap out of his daze. "It was deep in a good way." *** SHE was quiet & left out.
