Jess wears all black, finds herself in a constant state of anxiety, and hopes to continue living invisibly in her second year of high school. She lacks confidence, so finds it in the characters of her stories. Jess has been denied emotional support all her life, so obviously finds it most comforting to depend on herself and be independent. This is until she meets Brian, a boy in her English class. Though she claims to have never seen him, he has indeed met her. Deprived of friendships for so long, Jess is unfamiliar in meeting a person who genuinely cares for her needs. The story takes you through the life of a depressed teenager, who finds someone to get her past the brutal high school years.All Rights Reserved

When He Walked In by TVDkitty

Hazel James is just trying to make it through high school with her heart still intact. Ever since the tragic car accident that took her older brother Josh, life hasn't felt the same. Struggling with anxiety and haunted by the memory of that night, Hazel avoids driving and often relies on the bus or her parents to get around. Josh wasn't just her brother-he was her best friend, her protector, her anchor. Then Isaac Rivera walks into her classroom. He's everything Hazel isn't: confident, rebellious, unpredictable. With piercings, street clothes, and a permanent smirk, Isaac fits the mold of the classic bad boy. But when Hazel catches glimpses of his sketchbook filled with lyrics and sees him quietly playing electric guitar during lunch, she realizes there's much more to him than meets the eye. Something about Isaac feels familiar-almost too familiar. From the way he tilts his head when he laughs to the music he listens to, Isaac reminds Hazel of Josh in ways she can't explain. She starts to believe, deep down, that maybe her brother sent Isaac to her-as a second chance to heal. Determined to get close to him, Hazel pushes past her fears and reaches out, As walls come down and secrets unfold, Hazel and Isaac begin to change each other's lives in quiet, powerful ways. But healing isn't linear, and love isn't easy.

SKINTIGHT (Part 1) by frangipanii

Violet Ferrari is at breaking point. Moving out of home was supposed to fix her problems, not exacerbate them. All the shit she tried to escape, came right along with her - the grief, the guy, the pain. It won't go away. She's spiralling. One misstep, and it's over for her. Rio Valenti has fought his whole life to make it to this point. The start of his professional basketball career is just around the corner. He can't lose focus now, not with his criminal ties hanging over his head. He's on the edge. One misstep, and it's over for him. The rainy college town should have been their safe haven - the wetlands surrounding it a moat separating them from their pasts. The two meet in their freshmen year, with little in common but their social circles. Violet spends her days numb - hiding from the pain in any way she can. Rio runs from his. He's out from dawn to dusk, if not on the court, then scrounging up money for food or finding somewhere to sleep other than his car. What divides them most... is hope. Rio has it. Violet doesn't.

FOR TROUBLED KIDS. by Mya2tact

"Do you think we're soul mates?" She asked, lifting her head in order to lock eyes with him. It took him a moment, mustering up his answer. Thinking about how they were so alike, but so different. How they had been through similar things and had the same outlooks on certain perspectives in life. The connection that they shared. It was like she was made specifically for him. No one would ever be able to hold a candle to her and the way she made him feel. She was his person, and he was hers. "To be honest...yeah." He replied, wrapping his arm around her. --- Knucks is a misunderstood teenage girl, deemed as destructive to the society with her reoccurring outbursts and rebellious behavior. Anger fuels her defiant spirit but beneath her exterior, lies a vulnerable girl searching high and low for someone to help her through a time of crisis. Bones quiet and reserved, has nothing but a hard exterior looking from the outside in, when in reality he is just an innocent boy. He's fighting to keep his head above the water also known as life, that is trying its hardest to submerge and break him down mentally. When the two teenagers find themselves in an environment far away from home with others just like them, it leaves both of them separately hopeless about the outcomes of their future lives. One night upon meeting each other, one felt as if they had nothing to live for anymore, while the other felt the same way only holding a different meaning a sense.The night bringing them closer than ever eventually has to come to an end.

His eyes of euphoria by thatweird_bitch

* TRIGGER WARNING* there may or may not be parts of this book that people may find upsetting. It talks about mental illness. Also it talks about religion so if any of these things may trigger you then I recommenced not reading this. However feel free to talk to me because I'm hear to support y'all. 16-year-old Matthew is on the lengthy journey of self-acceptance and discovery. How will he cope with a rising taste for a blonde boy who managed the earth on his fingertips like crushed berries. Will he learn to love himself? Or will he allow his doubt to control him and his sprouting relationship? "Taste me in crimson so that when we taste no more, when age will turn our buds sour and memories hazy, that I have hope to scour my letterbox and find you wrapped pristine silk, next to an image of June. Within your eyes, euphoric." Acknowledgements 1# slice of life 15/01/21 23# closeted 15/01/21
