I had an assignment in English to rewrite a scene from The Great Gatsby in another character's point of view, and this is what I came up with.
Edit: This assignment is personally significant to me and that's why I had to share it with my Wattpad family. It was the first short story I've written, and it was the piece that unintentionally made me realize how amazing writing could be. Because of this story, I started writing and found something that would continue to be the greatest thing in my life.
Edit 2: Since this is the first short story I've ever written, there are several mistakes in here (mostly just switching from past to present tense). I don't want to change/edit anything, because I love to read this rewrite and think about how far I have come in the past seven years since I've written this. I just wanted my readers to know that this will contain mistakes, but they are just as special to me as the story itself. However, these mistakes won't show up in any other works of mine.

She's The Girl Next Door (MAJOR EDITING)
'Bad Boys Ain't Good But Good Boys Ain't No Fun.' "Don't look, but it's the king of being horny behind you." I automatically looked behind me, making Autumn scoff at me. She shook her head. "Ace Ford." Autumn's face retorted in disgust. "Every girl's 'dream guy'." Her fingers made quotation marks. "Let me just tell you Jane, that boy is disgusting." Ace leaned against the railing of the bleachers. He pushed his dark brown hair back and smirked as he talked to one of the blonde cheerleaders. "How so?" I questioned, turning back towards her. She raised an eyebrow. "Just look at the guy, doesn't he just scream 'I won't have sex with you and immediately ditch you unless you have dubble D's and the IQ of a goldfish?'" "He can't be that bad." I said, causing her to snort. ___________ Warning: Very Mild cursing. That's why I'm making it PG13 guys. Read at own risk. Hope you guys like the story. ____________ 2k16 edit: Howdy, how are you doing this godawful day? Burning in hell for your sins? Same! Great. Now that the formalities are out the window I'd just like to say... WHY AM I SUCH A DISGRACE TO MANKIND. What is this writing /-~-\ oh goodness gracious. How does this doodoo have 6k reads *siiiiiiiigh* My writing has improved at ton (I am assuming) and this was my first book so please, pretty pretty please don't hate me for all the mistakes and plot holes. I- I am very ashamed myself. And Engelesh is NOT my first language either so haaaaa, life. Mistakes were made so don't kill me. Okay, that's all for me. I still hope you somehow enjoy the story nonetheless and have a GREAT existence! ______ 2020 update So, I started writing this when I was 11. I am 18 now and haven't edited this since I was 15. I hope that says enough. Try to ignore the spelling and grammar mistakes!Complete
Ishimondo Oneshots
-Little Update before description! My writing has improved a lot since I started this book, this is nearly two years old, if you don't care for bad writing read it all, if you do an want genuine good oneshots, I'd say start from around the one titled 'The Wrong Right One' from there my writing is alright and even then you can see improvements considering that one is a year old now, just keep how old this is in mind while you read (realistically speaking I'd say from the last oneshot but I'm overly critical of myself so don't take my word for it 💀) So yeahh It's just a bunch of Ishimondo oneshots Fluff angst erm... Au's? Random shit? Basically anything but smut cuz I'm wholesome here and also a sex repulsed asexual so that means I also headcanon most characters to be ace as well so don't complain about the No smut cuz otherwise you're not welcome here /j And I'll have in the title what the oneshot will be like angst or fluff in brackets, however if there is nothing in brackets it either means theres nothing in particular that it is, I don't know what it is myself or its kind of both in a way Yeah hope you enjoy :)Complete
Her Favorite Book(Rewrite)
This is a redone, more realistic, more detailed, more writing experienced version of "Her Favorite Book" I wrote that story in 2021, I'm pretty sure, and I was less experienced than I was compared to now. Looking back at the story, I realized I could have offended certain people with my depictions of the abuse in the Rosa household, as well as her relationship with Charlie, and how she seems to not care as much about him as an older sibling, especially a protective one, would act. All of these problems are going to be fixed and all the chapters will be edited. I would also like to make it clear, I might change a couple things in the book itself, like, for example, I'm changing Alex(Ryder's younger brother) into a little girl who only speaks Spanish, and her name is Allie. Also, Ryders household life before Stella(Why his mom works so much, why his dad isn't in his life, etc) will be written in more detail than before. If I offended anyone in the original version of this story, I deeply apologize. Now, to those certain people that like the original story, I won't be taking it down, as it was and still is a big growing opportunity for my writing career as of now.Complete

Flowing Feelings (Version 2)
Hi all! This is just going to be a different take on Flowing Feelings! I know I still have the original story up, but I feel less satisfied in that one. And there are some arcs, storylines I don't want to keep much involved with (like a toxic friend of mine who betrayed me) and I just want to have a fresh start on writing this. So, I'm going to more or less "re-write" Flowing Feelings in a better liking to my thoughts, as I've learned so much about writing, and so many introspectives, that my writing style has definitely changed, and become deeper over the past year. And I wanted to try that with this trope. So here we go, Flowing Feelings, Version 2! (c 2022 by The Green One)
