I had just turned thirteen years of age, when I had met him for the very first time. He moved into our quiet neighborhood in the early summer of 1985. Some had verbally posited the idea; that he was a drifter, with no family, peregrinating from town to town, with no sense of home and a deep underlying sadness about him.

     While others expressed the hasty idea he was some remotely double agent, sent to cause espionage, in order to infiltrate our peaceful and rather boring neighborhood. Everyone else though believed that he secretly worked for the KGB, as well as the local underground mafia that secretly ran and operated this town. I knew who he was. 

     He was the man from nowhere. I loved him dearly with all my heart. I was proud to call him my beloved friend. This is my story and how it unfolds before your eyes...

An internal voice whispered, "Call him." But I chose not to. I dismissed it once more, saying, "He never liked me anyway." Yet the dilemma lingered. "But maybe he does. The way he looks at you... it's different." Out of nowhere, he glanced my way. My heartbeat quickened, sending shivers down my spine. I averted my gaze, pretending to look around. "Has he noticed me? No, wait-oh my god." --- After switching high schools, Nina discovered a new way of life. She fell in love, made wonderful friends, and everything seemed perfect. But Ethan-a popular boy who never focused on anyone but her-was the object of her hatred. He was always there, always keeping her safe. He used to annoy her endlessly. She hated him deeply. Until she didn't. For a while, she was content with her high school experience. That is, until something mysterious turned her world upside down. Forced to move to a new city, Nina had to cut ties with everyone she once knew. Eight years later, fate brings her face-to-face with him again. "Ethan..." He's the key to everything-the truths she never knew. When she was lost in the dark, he always held the light. But now, things are different. She despises him. He's colder than ever. Or perhaps she fears him. Fears that he'll leave her again. Will their lives ever return to normal after everything they've endured? "Maybe?" "Maybe yes. Maybe no?" --- Started: 8 November 2021 Ended: 19 December 2022 Rewritten: December 2024 --- ### Rankings Goals So Far: #1 Adolescente #1 given up #1 blinddates #1 pretend #10 twistedromance #50 high school romance --- ### Notice: This is my first published story, and it contains numerous grammatical errors and bad editing.

All I Never Wanted (Excerpt) by katiekleinwrites
7 parts Complete
What happens when a boy from a privileged, upper-middle-class family falls for a girl in a rehabilitation facility accused of murdering her best friend? In a world of mansions, expensive prep schools, and elite colleges, where money means favors and the right price will buy a ticket into or out of just about any situation, Trent Moreau is living easy. Drugs, parties, breaking and entering, traffic violations, property damage . . . it's nothing for Trent's father to swoop in and buy his son's way out of trouble. Only this time, he and his brother have gone too far. After ruining one of his father's executive gatherings, Crewe is sent to rehab, and Trent is forced to live on campus (and on a budget) under the watchful eye of a roommate who reports back to (and is likely getting paid by) Trent's father. When he's caught tampering with files at Crewe's facility, Trent is assigned (more) community service hours to be fulfilled by spending time with seventeen-year-old Summer Evans, resident psychopath. The previous year, Summer's best friend was found dead in her backyard swimming pool. Summer, the only known witness, remembers nothing about that night. Because foul play was suspected and she was a minor, Summer and her family agreed to rehab in lieu of a prison sentence. But the more time Trent spends with Summer, and the more he learns about the events surrounding her friend's mysterious death, the less sense it all makes. What if Summer isn't guilty at all? What if she's innocent, and he can prove it? As Trent quietly falls for the extraordinary artist, his investigation is going to take a dramatic turn, sending him spiraling deeper into the egotism and entitlement edging his own privileged lifestyle.
