"I can't" I said as he slid his hands up my waist over my tank top, "I made a deal". He didn't listen and I felt my self control slip. I closed my eyes and lost myself in his heat and smell of salt and cologne. What would Jill say? I wondered.
After a senior year filled with goodbyes, Norah decides that her annual summer trip with her best friend, Jill, and family should be just them. No guys. No 'meaningless' hookups. Jill and Norah make a deal that it should just be them, enjoying their last full time together as they're both about to head to college. But, will Norah be able to keep her promise?

An Unexpected Moment
... that changes everything Sarah was starting her junior year of high school. Looking at herself in the mirror, she saw a pretty average blonde haired, blue eyed, teenager. She was neither in the popular group, nor one of the many cliched outsiders. Sarah was a nobody. She liked to blend in and lay low. It was her way out of not only this town, but her house. No one knew it, but her father was a high functioning alcoholic that often took his anger out on his family. With her older sister now in college, it had turned to her more often. Laying low in general was a good strategy. Across town, Ryan was prepping for his final year in high school. While he wasn't the stereotypical quarterback of the football team, he did fit into the popular crowd. His sports of choice included basketball and soccer, either of which might line him up for a scholarship next year. Ryan had a group of close friends and a lot of adoring acquaintances. It wasn't easy juggling his athletics and keeping the grades up, but he was just that good. The supporting parents didn't hurt either. It might be a cliché romance, but it will be fun to see what the year and beyond holds. ------------------------------------------ This is a story I wrote years ago, or at least partially wrote. As I transcribe it here, I have tried to update it a bit and give the characters/story more depth than what I had when I was younger. Hopefully it all gets pulled together!Complete
These things take time
Fern meets Cooper, they have a great time together. But Cooper has a secret, he's not out and has a girlfriend. Will Cooper choose freedom with Fern? ... "So what is an angel like you doing at a party like this" Cooper muttered looking directly into my eyes. "What do you mean" I asked him in confusion. "I mean, you don't strike me as the type to attend parties this wild. You look like you belong anywhere but here, maybe in the clouds even" Cooper chucked. "But I'm here with you" I sarcastically rolled my eyes. "Let me take you to the clouds then" Cooper objected. His eyes told me that everything was okay and that he wanted me as much as I wanted him. He tasted like watermelon and I wanted to juice him, ready to drown in him. Each second, I grew hungrier for him despite his lips being on mine. I had met him four hours ago but it felt like I had found exactly what I had been missing my whole life. ••• Disclaimers: •This is a bxb/mxm story! •This is my first book on Wattpad *respectful* constructive criticism is welcome🤍 Cover art: Created on Canva, the reference image is from - https://i.pinimg.com/originals/00/a4/ff/00a4ff75350d8405a148fb5c5572399e.jpg -https://pin.it/3X9QoC5 Started: Aug, 29 2023 Completed: -

"I didn't call you over here," she told him calmly. "I know but you were staring so hard I figured you needed something," he told her with his infuriating smirk. She smiled sweetly in return, "Now, what could I possibly want from you?" His eyes roamed over her face for a minute before his arm shot out and wrapped around her waist. She let out a surprised gasp as she suddenly found herself pressed up against him. She shivered involuntarily as she felt his breath fan her face and stiffened again as she realized how close his face was to her own. •••••••• A story about a group of friends going after the boys they've been secretly in love with for all of high school.

Instead of him
Leena Nur was wrapping up her senior year at Leading Senior High this summer and with that, her domestic duties were also coming to their end. High school was nothing to miss for Leena. Instead, it was the bridge between childhood and adulthood. For the entirety of her life, she had been stuck there, forbidden to cross. Leena was neither young and never close to being old enough for anything. She considered it the curse of being the youngest and only daughter of a traditional East African family. As the sole daughter of her doting parents, Leena was their pride, their joy and also...their live-in maid. She was the youngest sibling of four brothers and as if being surrounded by them every living moment was not enough, her relentless neighbor, and brother's best friend made sure to loiter around to make her life worse. It was fine, she told herself, since she was determined to move out soon because of it. She knew she was close to the freedom she had been stealing tiny licks of since forever. She was graduating and that meant something so, so important. College. New Friends. And most irrevocably exciting, boys. If her father had heard that, let alone her brothers, Leena would have been locked deep inside her closet-sized room. However, she was determined they never would because by that time, she'd already be far away in America with her potential soul-mate, sipping hot cocoa and wrapped in lovely scarves she knitted. All she desired now, was to get through the rest of her high school career quieter than a mouse and receive that acceptance letter from UCLA. She could do it. Right? If she could just evade that annoying neighbor of hers.

These tears I cried at 15
"Ethan, we've known each other for years! Now you want to talk to me?" I rolled my eyes. "What do you want? Is this a dare? Who's putting you up to this?" I questioned insecurely. He gave me an amused smile and chuckled. "Trust me if I want to talk to you Maia I'm going to talk you not just because someone told me to..." My throat went dry at this and my mouth opened ajar but I quickly closed it feeling my throat tighten and a blush rise to my cheeks. ____________________________ 15, little number huge meaning!

Bully stepbrother
BOOK 1 in the Drowning/Bully Standalone Series. WARNING: This book contains intense bullying, explicit scenes, triggering language, violence, and psychological content. I told Caden to cancel his stupid party. He told me, with that infuriating smirk, "Why? Planning to be my snack tonight?" Caden has made my life hell for four years, ever since our parents got married. He's gorgeous, arrogant, and the kind of boy Stanford girls trip over themselves for. Me? I'm the only one who sees right through him. He's a blatant bully, the devil who turned me into a surreptitious one. And now we're stuck sharing the same off-campus apartment for our entire freshman year. Living together means new rules, no boundaries... and a tension I never expected. The closer we get, the harder it becomes to remember why we ever hated each other in the first place- and nothing threatens our pride more than that. *** Step into an adventure of passion, forgiveness, and second chances. This is Caden and Madison's story.Complete
