"I'm here until I finish high school." A phrase that two eighteen-year-old nerds in East Riastell share. Oliver Murphy and Amelia Hofstedder are nerds at best. While both have their own worlds and journeys ahead of them, fate allows the two to meet as students of East Riastell High.

Oliver, an above-average student, is about to meet the end of his ever-searching journey in High School. Meanwhile, Amelia along with her parents are new to town. She is facing the same situation but has to deal with the burden of having to leave and transfer to different schools each year due to her father's business. All she ever wanted was for them to settle down, but knowing that their stay in East Riastell is temporary, she doesn't feel at home at all.

Along with his friends, Oliver plans on getting through the whole year to find better opportunities outside East Riastell. All goes well when all of a sudden, he meets Amelia, an exchange student and a new personality to East Riastell High. Amelia, struggling to keep herself from falling apart, faces new challenges that would test her strength. With her mother being in a coma, she desperately begs for a miracle. The two, being close by the end of the semester, tries to help each other throughout the whole school year. Little did they know, both of them will make a huge change in each other's lives. Changes that would lead to life-altering choices and would determine what their life will be like in the future, with or without the other person.All Rights Reserved

As she spends time with her new friend outside of his job, she starts realizing that her feelings are evolving. After being abused for over a year, Jessie is terrified she's falling in love. What's even more terrifying is that he might be, too. She isn't ready for love. Not yet. She makes up her mind that if he is falling, and if he does love her, he'll wait for her to be ready, and if she loves him, she won't let herself hurt him. Can the words that used to cage her in really be the key to her freedom? --- Featured On: @NA: Take a seat and let it be | Mature Content and 18+ reading list @NA: You deserve the world | Mental Health reading list Ambys Top Picks New Adult 2023

Inspire: Book One (bxb) ✔️ by PsychoSunbaenim

Book One of Five in the New Beginnings Series. **You do NOT have to read Inhale, Exhale, & Breathe to enjoy these stories** #1 in bxb tag: 09/21/2024 #4 in friendstolovers tag: 9/21/2024 CYRUS PIERCE: I'm content in my almost soundless world. I prefer to live through the romance stories I weave and post online. Hardly anyone reads my books, even if they're free, but I do have one fan, and he's supported me since I started writing two years ago. Except, my writing started to take a depressing dive when I realized that you simply couldn't prevent nor protect your heart from falling for someone. For him. For the one who had no interest in me. When I fell in love with him, I thought we had a chance. It was an accident. Turned out, I couldn't be more wrong. He doesn't want me, and I wasn't supposed to have him. It didn't matter if he showed up in the bookstore every day, talking to everyone else except me. Nor did it matter at all because he didn't know sign language. He couldn't learn. We couldn't communicate. But after I go on a date and it ends in putrid disaster, he makes his appearance known, and he's angry. Then he's doing things for me that confuse me. My stories are filling up with pages of content, dreams that I want to come true, and my mystery commenter encourages me to continue-to reach my happiness. To take what I want. But the activities planned start sparking familiarity-like I lived it before, or maybe dreamed it. Or maybe, just maybe, I'd written it before? My mind is spiraling, but I can't stop myself from getting closer and closer to him. I'm not supposed to have him, but my heart craves him. Sage Monroe, I'm in love with you, and I'm scared now because I have a feeling that you've been communicating with me in more ways than one.

Unraveling Chris by addywritesxxx

Amelia Ray McKenna is an outgoing teenager, thriving in the social landscape of high school. With a tight-knit group of friends, a supportive family, and a life that seems perfectly in place, she feels as though everything is as it should be. That is, until Christopher Nicholson moves into her neighborhood. Amelia is instantly intrigued by the arrival of the Nicholson family, especially since it's not every day that a childhood friend returns home. After the death of Mark Nicholson, beloved father and wife to the Nicholson family, at the age of nine, Christopher and his family had uprooted and left abruptly. Amelia hadn't heard from the family-not even her mother, who was friends with Christopher's mother, Charlotte, could either. After seven years of silence, the family moves back in, and Amelia is determined to reconnect. But the boy she once knew is gone. The cheerful, easygoing friend she remembered has been replaced by a distant, brooding stranger. Known for her energetic personality and outgoing nature, it only makes sense that she would want to catch up with Christopher. However, the boy she once knew is no longer the same. The carefree, smiley friend from her childhood has been replaced by a distant, detached young man. He barely speaks to her and shows little to no emotion outwardly to anyone else either. Amelia is shocked by the transformation, struggling to understand what has happened to the boy who was once so full of life. As she watches him, Amelia begins to wonder just how much his father's death- and the years that followed- have shaped him. Was the grief of losing his father the only thing that changed him, or is there more to the story than she ever imagined? One thing is clear though: Amelia, ever the optimist, is determined to break through the walls Christopher has built around himself- she had gotten her hands on a very grumpy Chris, and this time she wasn't letting him go.
