Silvercharles Bay, Washington is a quiet, wet town. It's mostly known for supporting in its population 83.7% US Navy members and veterans. Silvercharles Bay School District is also one of the three districts in Washington state that still has the Junior High system, meaning that 6th graders stay at the elementary school and junior high is grades seven through freshman, and high school is sophomore to senior.

Sofia Keller, Morgan Rainer, Brook Warner and Annalise Hopkins are your average horse obsessed seventh grade girls. They all are neighbors, sort of, Sofia living with Morgan and Brook on each side, Brook between Sofia and Annalise and Annalise between Morgan and Brook.

They ride on their horses on usually Morgan or Annalise's property, sometimes on Brook's but Sofia's parents won't let them ride on her property. They talk- most of the time about the newest most popular thing- boys. Particularly the hot ninth graders in their P.E. class.

Nolan Whaffe, Elliot Jarnold, Alexander Kase and Matthew Parkyr aren't your average boys-mostly because they aren't boys. But we'll get into that later.

But they are for the most part your average good-looking popular ninth graders. They've dated, Nolan has a girlfriend, actually, plenty of girls, but they're not players.

The four best friends do almost everything together. They live under the same roof, play the same sports, take as many of the same classes as they can. They're on-the-top seers, judge-a-book-by-its-coverers. Would they ever notice four nobody girls two years younger then themselves?

Well for now, it's just complicated.All Rights Reserved

This is Where we Fall by Calyp50

They thought junior year would be easier - the calm after the storm. After everything they'd been through, the group from Adventure Bay High was finally finding their rhythm again. But sometimes the cracks you can't see are the ones that hurt the most. When a new student arrives, everything changes. He smiles easily, says all the right things, but behind his charm is something fragile, something broken - and before anyone can see the signs, their world collapses in a single, unimaginable moment. Now the halls are silent. The laughter that once filled them is gone, replaced by whispers and empty desks. Chase tries to keep everyone together, Skye refuses to talk about what she saw, Rocky hides his pain behind anger, and Ella keeps searching for a way to make sense of the chaos. They all survived that day - but surviving is not the same as living. In the aftermath, friendships fracture, guilt festers, and grief takes on a life of its own. But even in the darkest corners of Adventure Bay High, there are flickers of light - the quiet promise that healing, though impossible at first, might still be within reach. Because sometimes falling apart is the only way to learn how to stand again.

FOCUS [BXB] by augustsuns14

Like a bolt of lightning, this stupid boy appeared in my life. First day of summer break between first and second grade, he just appeared- standing on my porch like he was born there. Straight brown hair, wide dark eyes and a fresh sunburn across his cheeks. He was already talking before I even opened the door. I don't know how it happened but it's been ten years. And he's still here. Talking, whether or not I'm listening. Laughing, even if no one else is. He's still too quick- racing around the world like he's scared he's going to miss it. He's gotten taller...much taller. His hair is a little longer, a little wavier, but under the light it still looks the same golden brown it did when we were nine. And now, finally, he was a high school graduate. We both were. Like a bolt of lightning he appeared and like the sun he refused to disappear. _____________________________________________ I fell asleep with my chin pointed at him, the outline of his face being the last thing I saw. How was I supposed to do this? It had always been difficult, hiding this secret, keeping him close. But now, my focus was starting to slip. I couldn't see anything but his lips, his hands, his smile. I couldn't hear anything but my name in his mouth, his jagged breaths and that loud laugh. How am I supposed to be okay with this? How am I supposed to focus on anything other than him? #1- slowburn- 11.10.25🥇 #1- friends to lovers- 11.01.25🥇 #1- fluffandsmut- 11.02.25🥇 #1- college- 11.06.25🥇 #1- best friends- 11.12.25🥇 #1- teammates- 12.04.25 🥇 #1- college roommates- 12.30.25🥇 #1- mental health- 01.02.2026 🥇 #1- gay love- 01.02.2026 🥇 #2- roommates- 12.18.25🥈 #3- bxblove- 11.30.25🥉 #4- boyxboy- 11.01.25 #4- lgbt- 11.15.25 #14- boyxboyromance- 12.15.25 #22- basketball- 12.15.25

The Hockey Star and the Ice Princess (Complete) by ShellyWritesBooks

For Rachel Beckett the Olympics was a huge defining moment in her life, something she had been working tirelessly towards since she was five years old. Winning that gold medal meant everything to her and when she finally got there and choked, her life was turned upside down. What do you do when everything you've worked for your whole life is gone and you instantly go from being America's Sweetheart to a laughing stock? Well I can tell you what Rachel did. She ran. She moved to Texas, changed her hair color, started going by her middle name and tried to forget she ever did figure skating. When she finally went back to her hometown three years later to visit her family, she ran into her old figure skating coach and he convinced her that she could have a second chance to make her dream of Olympic gold happen. Falling in love with the new hockey coach wasn't part of the plan. Making her comeback ended up being a lot harder than she thought it would be, especially when family turmoil, anxiety, tragedy and love get in the way, but maybe a second chance and someone to believe in her is all she needs to make it happen. **** Very mature themes & sexual content - 18+ only!

I Hate Football Players by still_just_me

Football players are assholes. I know - my brother is their king. Older and annoyingly overprotective, he's the star quarterback at Santa Cruz High School. I love him, but everyone worships the air he breathes and it's suffocating. After a traumatic experience with a quarterback three years ago, I want nothing to do with boys and dating. All that matters is getting into college, so I ace my classes and sign up for my school's student ambassador program to boost my applications. Thankfully, I have my best friend, Harper, to get me through high school being overshadowed by my brother. My plans for a quiet, low-key senior year are destroyed when my brother's cocky, arrogant rival keeps butting into my life. Logan Hightower is a total player who expects me to drool at his feet while he uses me to burn my brother's game. If he thinks I'll fall for his gorgeous looks and shallow charms, he's totally mistaken. He'll never succeed because I hate football players. Note: Some of the chapters have mature content, as marked. Swearing is blatantly rampant and sensitive chapters are marked with the associated trigger warnings. highest rankings: #1 lovestory, youngadult, quarterback, goodgirl, cute, texting, sports, slowburn, series, & California, highschool, teenager, teenfic, series, completed #2 romance This story is complete, edited, and totally revamped in 2023! -me

Something Happened... by Meher764

"Please.." she couldn't say anything more. Her sobs didn't let her. Roman looked at her with an evil smile, not showing any sign of mercy. "I am not letting you run away like you did that night. Trust me, I'll make sure your life is miserable. I want you to feel the same pain as I am feeling right now." He roughly let go of her and Bailey lost control in her legs. She was about to fall but he held her by her arm leaving her dangling and spoke, "Accept your crime and rot in jail. If I see you roaming around freely in the city as if you haven't done nothing wrong, I will kill you! And destroy everyone and everything around you. Mark my words." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Name, Fame, Money, Power...... Those who have it, they still want more. The endless greed of having everything what they desire, never satisfy them. Roman Carter is not just a business mogul and a billionaire; he is a tower of success. He converted his father's business into an empire and still works hard to maintain it. His success was everything he ever wanted but he paid a price. A price which broke him inside and turned him into someone he never wanted to become; someone like his father. Bailey Adams didn't have a big bank balance or power or fame, but still her life was perfect. Her sweet mother, loving boyfriend and a little bakery business were enough to make her life complete. She could live this life forever and would do anything for those who she loves. But life isn't that fair or so easy. Bailey was never a player in the game of power and money but somehow her life got trapped in this web. She became a part of Roman's life; an unwanted part, which he wanted to remove and forget. He hates her, he wants to hurt her, and he wants her to feel the same pain he felt because SOMETHING HAPPENED, that changed their lives forever. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Something Happened~ A Love Story......... (The story is unedited, so please ignore the grammatical mistakes.)

Games We Play by Radhavi

Victore Academy boarding school is a lot of things. To the outside world, it's the heaven of schools. For some students, it's an experience they'll never forget. For others, it's the place to start their careers. And maybe for a few, it's the peak of their lives and really as good as it's going to get for them. And for me... well, I'll need a bit more than this to talk about that. But before you step in, here's a few things that everyone makes note of: 1. The students have secrets. And money. It's hard to tell what more of, honestly. 2. Don't get a room on the West Side of the girl's dorms. The birds around that private property lake house downside from campus don't stop chirping at 5AM. It's unpleasant, to say the least. 3. Avoid Mr. Labadee's classroom at all costs outside of lessons, especially past fifth period. It's better off if you're left in the dark with this one. 4. That asshole from Spain that terrorizes all the young freshmen is not hot. However, girls do make note of the fact that he works out post seventh period and right before first, near the track field. 5. The Victor's Tournament happens every year for all the senior year students. It's a pretty big deal. 6. And I think Armin Rivers is probably going to kill someone before he wins it (and it's probably gonna be that Spanish asshole). cover by soundthealarm

Familiar Strangers by JordanRowland

Emmie Brookes is just your typical teenage girl, she lives a normal life, in a normal house with normal friends, there’s just one tiny detail I forgot to mention. She’s an angel. After living on Earth for 6 years where the most exciting thing to happen in your day is a power cut, Emmie had forgotten what it felt like to live life on the edge. But all of a sudden people start turning up, claiming to know her. There’s just one problem, she can’t remember who they are, just that familiar sensation you get when you know you’ve met someone before. Knowing who you can trust can be hard, especially when your decision could end your life. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Forbidden/214384898645942?sk=info

In The Shadows (Teen Wolf) (Shadow Series #1) by JustMe52

All my life I've moved from one town to another, leaving all of the friends I make behind. I've said the words, "Hi, I'm Clara Argent." one too many times. After a while, I've learned not to become attached to anyone when I transfer to a new school. Everything hurts too much when I leave. My twin sister, Allison, and I have been inseparable ever since we were kids. When we are the new kids at school, we stick close to each other, not too quick to make new friends. Beacon Hills High School is different. Strange things have been happening that shouldn't exist; things like shape-shifters, hunters, werewolves. Not to mention a guy that seems to be the cause of all the trouble known as Derek Hale that seems to have taken an interest in me. Secrets are hidden in this town and I can't help, but want to discover what all of them are. cover by: @sighstiles

Thanks to the Whelms Family by TaylorAnnGunterman

(I am about to undergo major edits on the entire story soon. I wrote this when I was 13, and since it is my first story, I owe it the proper creation it deserves. Thank you for your patience, and I hope you will enjoy!) Samantha, Sam, Peers - a 13 year old girl who grew up with an abusive father who hits her every time she talked or laughed. So Sam just stopped saying anything, but when she accidentally bumped into her father he her beat again. Now Sam flinches at every sudden move, waits until everyone is out of the class room to leave for her next class, she walks so she doesn't have to sit next to anybody on the bus, and if you say her name she puts her hands over head in attempt to block out the world. So when she comes to school for the fifth time looking all beat up with a swollen lip and a bruised cheek the principal calls the authorities. Sam's father gets put into jail while she has to stay at the police station until they can figure out what to do with her. Because of how she was treated Sam can't stay at a foster home and because she is so scared of people she can't go through the adoption process. But when a lawyer hears of her situation from a friend who's police officer he wants to help this young girl realize that not every person is like her father and that its ok to have fun and be a kid. So him and his family take Sam in to show her that she doesn't have to hide her voice or lock herself away from the world. And with the help of his wife and four sons they just might get her to open up to them. Sam might think that if she makes any noise or even one mistake she'll get punished but the Whelms family is here to prove her wrong.
