Presley Qiaodi is a reserved 17-year-old boy of Asian descent and his best friend and now roommate Mitchum Charles who is African American since the first day of high school moved to attend college in H.I.D.C.A city. Including being the name of the city and College, HIDCA has a darker meaning in slang by the locals which the two only realize the hard way.

So though the college itself is a technological advancement and a known safe place for students human problems still exist. The city isn't all fun and games and precautions need to be taken. The underside of crimes that happen every day is easily overlooked by others but mixed in with teen drama wouldn't blend well. Even though Presley seeks to avoid getting involved, he may find it harder to do so because of those around him and the direct linkage to those at his school which is supposed to be their safe space.

How Presley copes with city life through his experiences he never talks about may be just what it takes for him and his friend to survive their college experience.All Rights Reserved

The Truth ✔ by Karenj128

Kaleb Knightly, Briarwood High School's own bad boy. But he's not your typical 'bad boy.' He makes straight A's, he doesn't sleep around, and he cares about people and isn't afraid to show that he cares. Since bumping into Layla Davis, the school's loner, freshman year, he's been intrigued by her. She's a mystery that he wants to solve. With the help of his cousin and friends, he hopes to become friends with her. But Layla doesn't want that. She wants to stay invisible. She wants nothing to do with him or anyone. But Kaleb and his friends just can't take no for an answer. As Kaleb and his friends try to break down her walls and someone from her past reappears, will she let her wall fall or build them up higher and stronger? ***Amazing cover made by @faithfulness254*** Like I say with all my stories... I'm not great at writing a summary for them. Please give the story a try, though. You might just like it. I will also try writing a better summary once I write more of the story. My stories always seem to go differently than I originally planned. 😊 #3 in YoungAdults 12/01/2022

Two Introverts ✔ by w_ierd_o

When Samuel finds himself lost and incapable of facing his problems and the whole lot of insecurities he'd built up from childhood, he comes to realize that he can't fix all of it all by himself -- and that it's okay to ask for help. It's okay to be miserable, and it's okay to feel things he's never felt before, such as having a crush on a boy. With June, his best friend, and Charles, the guy who's been crushing on him since the start of the year, Samuel courses through life, slowly coming to find some worth in himself and opening up to the people around him. . . .

Weigh Out Way-In by JASaak

There is an unexpected turn in the story that drastically changes the course of events and, in the long run, even the lives of those involved. Magpie, the first to be involved, suddenly finds himself in the world so unlike his own. Will he find his place there or will he be at least able to go back home? He seems to find his way back from this new world of giga-dimensions but something unwanted happens, and things go worse. The cultural differences, together with a challenging personality traits of another involved in the events, suck Magpie and his friends into a downward spiral. The story challenges you to see the world differently from the perspective you are perhaps too used to and narrowed by. Life can be an adventure if you don't narrow it with a bigotry that forces you to be rooted in your trenches and behind your dividing walls. This doesn't mean you have to accept others' views without standing your ground. However, to be able to share our lives in this one and only world we need to make compromises, on both sides. Are you the first brave one to set this positive trend in motion? So read on and let the foundation of the story be laid. From the end of episode 1 on, the story really picks up, finally reaching its climax at the end of episode 3 with quite a surprising finish. Your participation in solving this shared challenge of coexistence and cooperation is highly appreciated. Remember those who cooperate make more progress than those who don't! The ideal audience for my first book is actually between 12 and 16, but anybody older and interested in adventures, cultures and in getting more understanding into our multifaceted world is sure to enjoy the story. (The whole story has now been published, the only thing I'll still add is the final epilogue but the story is already available in its entirety.)

Human by IndigoJewel

Normal? What was normal even Adrian? High school is the time to take it easy before life really hits. Or that's the theory... If he were human. Not only does he have to deal with being the successor of his family's pack, but he's also got to search for his very own soul mate. If that wasn't tough, apparently there's been a series of disappearances that's forcing them to take action. Moving their entire community was one thing, but meeting Aria Kham was another. Intelligent, sassy, and a little bit self-loathing - what's a guy gotta do to make sure she doesn't hate him? And as much as he wants her to be part of his life, what's the price to pay if he tells her?

Broken Souls by jayceewyatt

Sebastian is a nineteen year old, who tries to hide his bisexuality from everyone, but everything changes for him after a certain party and a boy named Nicholas. Sometime after that and finally coming out, he becomes confident and a total pain in the ass to his friends. He becomes the type of person that doesn't believe in love or relationships and likes to drink and party a lot. It's a story about Sebastian and his friends (although he has a hard time to admit that they are his friends), who deal with some tough choices and make unreasonable decisions. It's a story about pain and loss and mental issues, but also about love and understanding and support. It's a story about a group of broken people, who find comfort in each other eventually and deal with whatever life throws at them together, one step at a time.

Kaleidoscope by MistryCusp

"The colors mix more and more, and what I wanted to be a beautiful kaleidoscope is slowly turning into black" When Faye Wilson's one and only prized possession got torn apart by a bully, she lost her temper and arrived home with bloody hands. Her terrorist parents decided to move to her cousin's house, giving Faye a ticket to a new start. A mysteriously rich neighborhood it is, and an even more majestic house that makes Faye's previous home look like nothing. A perfectionistic college student called Luke acts as the guardian in the house, taking care of his rather troublesome siblings Seth and Yuna, Faye's cheerful cousin Cam, and his dramatic sister Sana. As events occurred, truths became uncovered and Faye gets closer and closer to the house members, she experiences new feelings and learns one thing that seems so important yet tends to be forgotten: The importance of being yourself.

It All Started With A Dare by Rachelle470

"So here I am, bawling my eyes out on my bed. I've got mascara streaming down my face, my eyes are red and puffy, I can't breathe, and it feels like my heart is physically breaking inside. I'm looking at sad, crush quotes and, if you couldn't tell by that clue, this is all over a boy: a dumb, horrible, most caring, sweet, funny, and lovely boy. A guy who I am absolutely infatuated with but will never like me back. He hates me, and it all started because of a stupid dare," ------------------------------ Lanabeth Valentine has never been one to turn down a dare, even if that means leaving a not so stellar first impression on the new guy at school. Entirely embarrassed, she plans to never speak about the event and avoid the new kid, Caleb Hunter, at all cost, which isn't easy when he's her next door neighbor and their families have weekly Friday night dinners together. Caleb Hunter has never been one to follow the rules, and after Lanabeth leaves a very lasting first impression, Caleb has made it his mission in life to drive Lanabeth Valentine insane. But as horrible as Caleb Hunter is, he may be exactly what Lanabeth needs at the moment. *this book is published on Amazon under It All Started with a Dare by Rachelle Díaz Valle This book is a sample of the completed novel available for sale

{18+ COLLEGE ROMANCE COMPLETED} What sucks more than being rejected by the girl of your dreams? Finding out afterward that she's moving in with you. **** The night that Beau Martin spends with Collins Bryant is the best one of his life. He wants to repeat it. Over and over and over again.

But cutting ties becomes impossible when Beau and his friend, Nessa, are looking for one more roommate in their three-bedroom off-campus apartment. And Nessa-oblivious to their history-suggests the one person that Beau knows will kill him to live with: Collins Bryant. He should say no. He really should. But even with knowing she doesn't want him, Beau would do just about anything for Collins. Including giving her the open room in his apartment-because he knows she isn't going to find another one, not this close to the start of the college semester. But as Collins moves in and unpacks all her art supplies, all her secrets, Beau starts to wonder if maybe...maybe she wants him after all. And maybe getting the chance to be with her is enough to risk everything. Enough to tip the hidden scales, the ones he's been keeping underwraps.
