Sometimes, love takes a little time.

Tina had lost her way. Become cynical and insular, avoiding other people at all costs. Life had carried her along on a never-ending wave of apathy and she couldn't work out how to hold her head above the water.

Entering college had become her last, fruitless chance to make something of her life, but she doesn't know what she wants from the institution. If she wants anything at all.

When her English tutor becomes ill, she meets Dawn, a substitute teacher and in a few, short, weeks, Dawn shows Tina something she can believe in. Something that can catch her mind, while Dawn catches her heart.

As their lives take them both in very different directions, Tina and Dawn come into contact over and over again as the years pass by. But will they ever find a time where their journeys bring them together permanently in a romance over the course of decades?

Mature due to language and themes. NOT SMUT!

However, that's all in the past. She has her own business, works hard and all-in-all, she's happy. For the most part, that is. As long as she still has her seclusion for which she has worked hard and values above all else, then she will be fine. If people would just stay away... Leah has been blind her entire life but never let it hold her back as she embraced it with open arms. She hasn't ever known any differently and life is great. Or at least, it could be with these new changes. Moving to a new town, Leah is excited to begin a new life, but her family isn't exactly shy about their protectiveness of her. If only she could be somewhere, anywhere where people would treat her just as they would anyone else. As their paths cross, Leah and Trinity's lives are forever changed, some changes for the better and others still up for debate.

Outcasts by oceanshadowss
24 parts Complete Mature
Two girls. At school they're total opposites. The cheer captain and the loaner geek. But at home, life isn't all as it's seems. And one teacher, and their relentless assignments, bring them closer together. *** "You missed me?" I ask as if it's such a shock because to me it is. I'm a nobody. "Hm." She hums with a nod, "I didn't really know how to ask you if you wanted to hang out again, and well, thanks to my fucked up life, here we are, I found an excuse." "You do realise you can just ask me?" I'm a hypocrite, I couldn't do it either. "I know, but honestly, you kind of intimidate me and I just kinda thought maybe just a small part of you thought it was just about the projects."

Taylor Ferguson & Darko Ulyanov, two closeted best friends with unrequited feelings for each other, decide to come clean before high school ends. With problems in either person's lives, will coming out be as easy as they think? ▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃ ♫ A Wattpad Featured Story (2018) ♫ The Wattys™ Longlisted (2018) ♫ Winner of 14 awards--more details inside! ♫ #3 in #Love out of 1.8 million stories (9/4/2019) ♫ #1 in #GayLove out of 25.3 thousand stories (9/1/2020) ♫ Featured on 'Best of Wattpad Outreach Ambassadors' reading list ♫ Book 1 of the True Colours Collection ♫ CW: Family death, homophobia, racism, dementia ▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃ [Longer Blurb] Taylor and Darko, Darko and Taylor: Two lifelong best friends. The two have their differences - Taylor's a musical geek, a natural talent with the piano, and Darko's a gifted dirt-bike enthusiast - but they both share a life-changing secret. Taylor's bisexual, Darko's gay, and they are both secretly in love with each other. Over the years, the two have suppressed their feelings, cruising through high school. While it's been easy presenting as macho straight dudes, both boys are sick of the façade, each toying with the idea of coming out in their own unique ways. It's never that easy, though. They're both entangled in two complicated webs--one filled with grief and guilt and another filled with lies--and both have got to navigate through them before either can find the true happiness they seek. Sometimes, however, the silky threads of the web are more comforting than the unknown abyss below. Will they come clean about their feelings? Or will they keep a straight face until the very end? ▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃ This story is exclusive to my Wattpad and Patreon pages.
