Can you imagine being the most beloved and popular guy at your school that everyone wanted to be, or everyone wanted to date to being a "freak of nature."
Darrell Lancastyer was a champion swimmer, and the most beloved guy at Mayden highschool. Now, he is an social outcast, who is picked on by everyone and is referred to as "fish boy". Darrell suffers from constant nightmares and screams of the event that has ruined his life.
Can he move on with his life and not let his trauma define him, and the words people say about him?
Can he also find the love and strength to step into the water again, or will he drown in his own fear?
Author Foot note: I wanted to make something different, and focus on a different point of view. I asked myself what if a guy suffered from lack of popularity, and bullying what would happen, and how would his story end.

To be exact, the three most famous boys in the whole school. Let's introduce them. Kyle Cruise: He's the Vultures golden boy. Star football quarterback. Blond hair and blue eyes. With his giant grin girls might actually kiss the ground he walks on. Next is Jaxon Smith: All those pranksters you've heard about put them all together and times it by six, and outcomes Jaxon Smith. With his curly blond hair and stormy grey eyes, girls love him. It doesn't help that his cocky smile is so big and goofy you just can't help but smile at him. Last but not least is West Reid. Even his name sounds bad. Every book has to have a bad boy, and this just happens to be the baddest boy is Pacifico Vultures.

The question is simple, really. But it's hard at the same time. Which one will win her heart? ~*~ Unedited and written in seventh grade as a fair warning!Complete
Roommates | Cashton
Calum Hood was the stereotypical jock in high school. He was the star of the football team and basketball team. The majority of his old classmates loved him, envied him, or wanted to be him. Now that he was at the University of Melbourne on a football scholarship, he was hoping to reach that status yet again. He wasn't going to university for the classes and academics; he was going to pursue his career in football. He wasn't a lame geek that was going to spend his weekends studying and doing boring homework that wouldn't benefit him. He wasn't going to let those nerds annoy him with their smarts either like he did in high school. Not to mention that he was a full-blooded frat boy. Classes and grades and nerds weren't about to get in his way of that. Ashton Irwin was considered a nerdy hipster. He was more into the arts and academics of things, his strong suit being English and art history. Not only that, but he had a passion for music as well. He was a talented singer that helped get him a full ride scholarship to the University of Melbourne, along with his exceptional knowledge in English. Though, he wasn't at all popular in high school. He was quite the opposite and he was okay with it. He didn't want to be popular and have his every move analyzed. It also meant that he would've had to hangout with the jocks, who he didn't like at all. Now, due to his uni class schedule, he would be free of the majority of the jocks and hopefully frat boys. They were bullies and he didn't want to have to be associated with any of them. He would make sure of that. But, despite what Ashton and Calum think, life isn't fair sometimes and you have to live with the hand you're dealt. Literally. ---- Copyright 2016 to Brianna (@1D_HarryStyles_1D)Complete
