Luke Lenoir is without a doubt a likable person. Of course, not a soul would say they were intimidated by him, nor would anyone utter anything hawkish toward him. And yet, he always finds himself sad and lonely. He doesn't understand. Everyone's nice to him, everyone seems to like him, so then why doesn't he have any real friends? What's holding him back?

This book is all about relationships. From romantic to platonic, family to friends, spiritual, to, well, homosexual. 

To be clear, this is being written as a supporter of the LGBTQ+ community and also as a Christian. This series will go through many topics of which I'm still exploring my opinions on. 

"Where the Light Shines Brightest" takes place in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, the height of Amish country. For an LGBTQ+ youth, it can be a scary place to grow up, but one can always find allies if one knows where to look.

I hope you enjoy!!Tous Droits Réservés

The Boys in the Band, écrit par Elsie_Moorhouse

Pride and Prejudice meets My So Called Life when the closure of an exclusive arts academy forces new students to enroll in a conservative rural public high school during the height of the grunge era. Publishing weekly on Sundays. ******* Whether she's playing her upright bass with the school band or listening to her favorite albums, 16-year-old Jess Dunn lives for music. Unfortunately there's only one other person in the tiny working class town of Grenville, California, who shares her enthusiasm: Chris , the world's most uptight drummer and one of Jess' least-favorite people. That changes when an exclusive art school closes suddenly, forcing a group of former art students to enroll in Grenville's conservative rural public school, and sparking a major culture class. Among the transfer students are two new music students: Eric, a talented pianist who quickly becomes one of Jess' closest friends, and Josh, a seriously cute guitarist with an enticing punk rock edge. Before long, a music class project has Jess teaming up with her oldest rival, her newest friend, and the hottest guy she's ever seen in real life. Now the group has just a few weeks to complete their assignment and prepare an audition that will earn them a spot in the school's fall showcase. They might even have what it takes to form a real band---if their tangled relationships don't get in the way.

Stranger Not So Danger, écrit par rosegolden_

"When I first met you, you were a complete stranger. But through time, I thought I really started to get to know you. To know the way you react to things, the way you look to the side when you're nervous, and ultimately, the way you feel about me. But, right now, after all that you've said, you feel more like a stranger to me than you ever did before." I can't believe those words just came out of my mouth. I was hurt, and my heart was shattered like a hammer colliding with a mirror. Broken, by one of the only people I trusted would never break me. ~~~~~ Lindsey Grey was regretting going to the basketball game in the first place.

Pappus and Sonder, écrit par LukePMoore

A first-person erotica romance novel. Early in the story, the narrator Luke mulls, Memory tattoos our yearnings under our skin. From there, they will ripple back. The text is layered like the skeins of paint through Jackson Pollock's masterpiece, Lavender Mist. It spreads wide through friendship, love and romance; and then converges as a unity of thought in a bedroom. So as the text unfolds memory in a non-chronological way, recalling key life incidents of selfishness, lost opportunities, and passion, these, in turn, trigger a memory of other life incidents. Yet, the tangents all hold because they are framed within a more significant memory frame. So, no incident is left behind; they keep building and informing the reveals when they occur. The pivotal point where the reader goes, ah, I knew this because it was always there. Bubbling memories, blue and uplifting echo through the text in places, names, colours, objects, plays on words, and metaphors, already enriching the text read in previous scenes. The adult scenes sizzle because they have a passion context within current or past yearning. Enjoy the sexual complexities of the characters as pleasure ignited by pleasures ignition is a pleasure for two or three! The novel's themes include friendship, passion, selfishness, contrition, resilience, cheating and love, all unfolded on a splattered action painting canvas of our, at times, messy lives where the world and its tragedies can also invade unannounced. The text will reward the booklover who hovers in and recalls previous nuances of the text, like their own recall of the sweetest friendship, love and romance moments in their lives.

Red Converse, Piano Keys, and Love Stories, écrit par Yogurt98a

This is a story I wrote when I was in my first year of college. It's not the best writing and there are most likely some grammar errors, but I thought it might be fun to post anyway. I remember having a good time writing it, and the friends who read it said they enjoyed it. I hope you can have some fun reading it too! Synopsis: Kinsley Slater is a high school senior who resides in the small town of Brookings, Oregon. She was born with quite a special gift-- she can see soulmates. On this Earth, each person born has a soulmate. Soulmates are determined by the shape of one's heart, and some women can see that shape. Although Kinsely is one of these woman, she is a cynical girl who doesn't believe in love. (most likely because she doesn't have a soulmate herself.) But what will happen when the new boy at school catches her eye? And what will she decide to do with her life after high school? Will she work as a Seer or will she pursue something she is more passionate about?

Twisted Deception, écrit par StarrySky_23

[Book #1 of Twisted Deception] "You people don't know a damn thing about us, don't even speak." **** Everyone knows that high school is always something to dread. GPA, friends, enemies, prom, graduation, everything that you think would make high school good and bad for the future. Now scratch off friends, GPA, prom, and graduation. Why would you scratch them off? Because everything else will be the only thing that's important when you get to this high school. Saint Johnathan Pier is the one high school in the city where everything happens and normally, stuff you wish you didn't see. Everyone warned people about the dangers of the students going there but did they ever mention the people already broken by it? They were dubbed "the rainbow colors of society" just because they were different from other students in this school. But there's a slight differential between them: four of these students are popular while the other four are normal. While the four populars are seen as "superior, hot, and intimidating", the four normals are seen as "weirdos, weaklings, and irreverent bystanders". Being different from the other kids has always been a struggle for all of them since grade school, but they try to keep that out of mind. But with their dark history following them at every corner, making new friends can't be on their list. Matter of fact, it isn't an option. Especially when their attitudes are what drive people away rather than in. Not like they're complaining though. When these eight students get paired up for an end of the year assignment, they encounter a lot of drama that will test their relationships to the max. What will happen to them? Can they grow comfortable with each other? Can these troubled teens even be friends in the first place? Come along on the journey as these eight try to survive their last year of high school. ⚠️TRIGGER WARNING ⚠️: This contains strong language, mentions of rape, bullying, etc.

By Your Side (Preview), écrit par LiAWake

Sometimes the biggest threats are family. James, a soon-to-be high school graduate and ranking member of the locally known outcasts, is about to take the next step in his life. Reflecting on his past leading up to this, he regretted not doing what every other high schooler seemed to do, from constant partying and experimenting with drugs, but what he deemed most important-having a relationship. Watching his childhood crush, Hannah, who he was once inseparable with, becoming the most popular girl in school and leaving him in her rearview mirror. Fighting with his emotions and wondering how he'd ever rise above the seemingly more qualified fish in the sea resulted in James being consumed by his internal darkness. The only thing able to pull him out of it is his best friend, Clare-Hannah's outcast cousin. With everyone going their separate ways, it presented one final chance. James is forced to decide if Hannah's worth chasing after and keeping his darkness at bay. Or letting her go and fully giving in to his self-destructive ways.

I Hate Football Players 2 (under editing), écrit par still_just_me

Finding relationships is easy... Keeping them is the real game. That's what I'm learning in my first one. It's not easy. Our rival schools are an hour apart, my best friend's turning secretive, my parents are controlling, and my brother's still an ass, gearing toward winning the state championship, and still doesn't like my boyfriend, Logan. I get it, they're rivals, and I kinda feel like Logan's team might be better but this season will decide. Being the star rival quarterback's girlfriend brings big rumors and big drama, especially when elements of our pasts resurface - his jaded ex whatevers, and the secrets I thought I'd buried and moved beyond. All of this while I just want to figure out where to go for college and what for. Some relationships will always stand the test of time and distance, while others crumble by the time the high school dust settles. I hope Logan and I are in the former because I'm falling hard for him. Really hard. Forever love hard. Story is ongoing with frequent updates. Please add it to your reading list!

A Thin Line Between Love & Hate (Love Conquers All series) ORIGINAL VERSION, écrit par AMS1971

NOTE: This is the ORIGINAL version. The revised version, which includes multiple added scenes and extended storylines, will be published on amazon as two separate books (A Thin Line Between Love & Hate / A Short Distance Between Heaven & Hell). The revised versions may or may not be uploaded onto wattpad, I haven't yet decided if I will be doing that. **The extremist group in this story is based on the Westboro Baptist Church located in Topeka, Kansas. ________________________________ Josh Waylon is a prisoner in his own home, his own mind. Part of an extreme religious group who has targeted homosexuals, Josh is forced to live the hate that the leader--his father--has poisoned them with. But Josh has a secret of his own, one which would bring him extreme pain and punishment within the group and alienate him from everyone he knows. When the group moves to a new town, a community which is predominantly LGBTQ, and Josh starts at the new school, he feels like a sheep amidst wolves as the many gay kids within the school know exactly who he is and what his family does. Josh feels no security with his two older brothers, who expect him to suck it up and accept the persecution as a servant of God. Brandon Nichols immediately detects the difference between Josh and his brothers, seeing deeper within the young man and the truth he is hiding, desperate not to be found out. Brandon believes his calling is to help bridge the gap between the gays and Christians in his school, but he has his work cut out for him with Josh Waylon and the extremist group that has him locked down--emotionally, spiritually...and sexually.
