anxiety choir cute depression drama early2000s fantasy firstperson magic merfolk mermaid merman romance sad singing spells ya youngadult

Penny Springfield lives inside her mind. She's shy, and other students bully her at school. Even her best friend doesn't do much to help; she's seeing Penny's secret crush. But things are about to change in a big way, and it starts with an audition for the choir solo.

(I've worked on this for a long time, off and on, and originally started writing it before 2010, so it roughly takes place around 2003/4. A lot of this is inspired by my high school experience and my issues of being bullied and having friends who were not bullied, but didn't exactly do much to help.)All Rights Reserved

The Invisible Tide (Rewritten) by ViviDreams

Aria Morales is a girl of secrets. At school, she's invisible by choice-quiet, guarded, and perfectly forgettable. After hours, she's a vlogger with a secret side no one knows. And underneath it all? She's something more: a mermaid with elemental powers tied to her emotions-and one mistake away from being exposed. She's spent years keeping those versions of herself separate. But when a class project forces her to work with Jack Carter-the school's golden quarterback with a reputation for breaking hearts-everything starts to slip. One accidental touch. One water spill. One breath too deep. And suddenly, Aria's carefully controlled world is threatening to unravel. Staying invisible was the plan. But the more time she spends around Jack, the harder it gets to hide who she really is. One project. One secret. And a boy who could ruin everything without even trying. ᴄᴏᴘʏʀɪɢʜᴛ © 2025 ʙʏ ᴠɪᴠɪ ᴀʟʟ ʀɪɢʜᴛꜱ ʀᴇꜱᴇʀᴠᴇᴅ. ᴛʜɪꜱ ʙᴏᴏᴋ ᴏʀ ᴀɴʏ ᴘᴏʀᴛɪᴏɴ ᴛʜᴇʀᴇᴏꜰ ᴍᴀʏ ɴᴏᴛ ʙᴇ ʀᴇᴘʀᴏᴅᴜᴄᴇᴅ ᴏʀ ᴜꜱᴇᴅ ɪɴ ᴀɴʏ ᴍᴀɴɴᴇʀ ᴡʜᴀᴛꜱᴏᴇᴠᴇʀ ᴡɪᴛʜᴏᴜᴛ ᴛʜᴇ ᴇxᴘʀᴇꜱꜱ ᴡʀɪᴛᴛᴇɴ ᴘᴇʀᴍɪꜱꜱɪᴏɴ ᴏꜰ ᴛʜᴇ ᴡʀɪᴛᴇʀ ᴇxᴄᴇᴘᴛ ꜰᴏʀ ᴛʜᴇ ᴜꜱᴇ ᴏꜰ ʙʀɪᴇꜰ Qᴜᴏᴛᴀᴛɪᴏɴꜱ ɪɴ ᴀ ʙᴏᴏᴋ ʀᴇᴠɪᴇᴡ. © ᴀʟʟ ʀɪɢʜᴛꜱ ʀᴇꜱᴇʀᴠᴇᴅ.

Emotionless Boy by Miyugihcdc

In order to keep her from crying, I pretended to be normal and recovered from my illness. I became friends with my classmates, and when we went to karaoke, they disappeared, leaving me and girl behind. I saw the girl being made fun of in the classroom, and for the first time, I took an interest in people. I tried to get involved with the girl myself. My childhood friend, who had been making fun of me behind my back, stopped me. "Hey, don't turn into what you used to be!" "--I'm a convenient childhood friend who pays the bills. You said you didn't like me because I was annoying. Then stay the hell away from me." A coming-of-age love story about a sober girl who's a hidden novelist, and a guy who loves nothing more than drawing pictures, both of whom are trying to become manga artists!
