What do you do if your new best friend is mankind's worst enemy? Panic, probably.

That's definitely Josiah Tarrant's first and preferred option. Raised on a backwater dustball and taught from an early age how to run the family business, he's about to find out why most of what  he 'knows' isn't true. 

He's got a new uniform (tight in all the wrong places), a celebration of his cresting manhood and his parents' funeral to attend. They're not dead but it's a tradition thing, so best not to ask. On top of all this, he's still got to meet Bixby. Genteel servant, loyal friend and mathematical genius; Bixby is the reason the family even has a business. It's just a shame his very existence is illegal. 

Josiah Tarrant is about to have the busiest, most eye-opening day of his life. Will he face it with the courage of his ancestors? Unlikely. Will he rise to the challenge with fortitude, determination and a hitherto undiscovered inner strength? Probably not. Will he emerge from the mess of his own creation a new, enlightened, all-around better man? Frankly, it's not looking good...

But most importantly, if he tries his absolute hardest, can he just once remember not to automatically reply with 'Josiah' when someone asks his name?

To All the Sins You Couldn't Commit by whoscountinganyway

"If I could pick anyone in the entire world, in the entire world, Will, I'd still choose you." *** William Nile has always felt a lack of control in his life. His head's clustered and the past likes to eat at his thoughts. Isolation is a synonym for safety and staying neutral is a key ingredient for survival. He's always felt more put together when he was a mess; always felt like the world was clearer in the dark. He can't help it, this is just how it's always been. Then comes along a new foster family who throws him for a loop. They're exactly who they say they are, exactly who they act to be. With that comes a goofy boy named Clement and his best friends, annoying twins who laugh loudly- -good luck telling Jude and Demi apart- -and a girl named Minnie who has a god complex. Will knew from the day he arrived that he needs to focus on acting the way his foster moms want, on getting good grades, at playing soccer well and making sure that for once, he doesn't mess up. He knows he doesn't want to lose these friends, knows he wants to feel wanted and needed and understood. Because here, there is more focus on his mental health than there is on if he's acting the 'right' way. Here, there is room for growth and change past a foster parent's ideal child. Here, there's no room for entertaining the idea of him with a pretty boy who has a witty smile and a loud laugh. On that last note, he has no idea what to do (and Will is someone who likes to plan ahead). *** A coming of age story.

hell of a summer by jlovess2read

"Do you hate me, Travis?" I whisper, so quietly that it's almost completely inaudible, with a voice so full of suppressed emotion that it slightly cracks. "Yes," he whispers back, so breathless and honestly that it makes my heart drop. I open my mouth to speak, unsure of what I was even going to say. But, before I can, he grabs the back of my neck, and smashes our lips together. ------------------------- Travis Hart has never considered himself an angry person, but something about Jonah Davids lit a spark in him. And before you get the wrong idea, that was not a good thing. Jonah Davids was Travis' annoying next door neighbor, aka, his little sister's best friend since childhood, aka, his little sister's biggest crush. Oh, and on top of that, his lifelong, sworn enemy due to a ten second, miscommunication that happened when they were only eight years old. Ever since then, Travis has spent ten years hating Jonah Davids. But, when Jonah has to move in with the Hart family for the summer due to family reasons, will that change? Tension builds throughout the Hart family's household as the two get closer, swearing to each other that it's only temporary. But the thing is, there is a fine line between enemies and lovers; but the one thing they both have in common, is that neither of these groups can get each other out of their heads.

First Glance (Kellic) by renegade_hearts

Kellin's a normal college student with friends that drink way too much and party way too loud. But that never mattered. He's comfortable with it. Sure, things are unexpected but that's life. But the one thing he never accounted on was a guy- a cute guy to come up to him. TW: death, blood, violence, guns, language, abuse, alcohol Please don't read if any of this triggers you!

Class Freak by wxnderland_addict

Mutants have existed long enough to be properly integrated into society, but not long enough for everyone to have accepted them. Outside of the United States, a hub for mutant immigrants fleeing the oppressive laws of their own countries, fear of mutant syndrome bleeds through the cracks in mysterious deaths, obnoxious court rulings, and social isolation. It isn't all sunshine and rainbows in America, either ⸻ some states are more progressive than others, and it's a constant battle over who has what rights and where. But there is one class of mutants that nearly everyone can agree on avoiding: Class F. The Freaks. For awkwardly tall and perpetually oblivious homeschooler Noah Kirby, all that exists is his house and the little graveyard on his street in North Carolina. When the opportunity comes along to enroll as a first-year at F Class Academy, an up-and-coming school for the most dangerous mutants of the generation, it means opening his eyes to an entirely new world, one where mutant life isn't as easy as he thought it was. Noah has three goals to ensure his start at FCA goes smoothly: 1. Befriend his moody Ability Management partner Amaris, so that they don't both risk failing the class, 2. Get to the bottom of why he keeps waking up surrounded by dissected corpses, and 3. Make it through the year without getting killed by one of his classmates' disastrous accidents. It may sound impossible, but with a dash of optimism and the help of a lot of new friends, he's confident he can make it work. FCA is nothing like he's ever seen before, but it can't be so scary. At the end of the day, mutant highschoolers are just like any other highschoolers... right? [ This story is unabashedly inspired by franchises I liked when I was a kid. I'm mostly writing it just for fun and for my friends to read, but if you also liked stuff like the X-Men, Percy Jackson, and Ever After High, you might have a fun time too! ]

The Art of Being a Gentleman by __JAG__

David has a huge, life-ruining, crush on Alyssa Harvard (who is only about one billion times out of his league). As if that wasn't enough of a problem, her parents want her to date a "gentleman" (a trait which composes about 1% of David's DNA). Being assisted by a random guy he literally just met (like seriously, where did this Ricky guy come from?), and all the while being hindered by his ridiculous friends, family drama that refuses to stay buried, and the chaos that is life in general... the chances of David getting the girl seem slim to none. But the day that Ricky Santos fails at something, is the day that pigs sprout wings and fly, so whether the world likes it or not... David is GETTING that date. David's life is about to get a whole lot classier. (Prepare yourself for mayhem.)

At the age of fourteen, she decided she will be married before she was thirty. Her life seemed perfect. Her parents were happily married. She has a wonderful brother who looks out for her. The only thing she hates about it is Travis Cross, her brother's annoying best friend, a.k.a. the boy who sleeps in the guest room and her worst enemy. Her life took a sudden three-sixty, with a tragedy that made her lose everything she held dear in her perfect life. But amidst all that, Travis swore that he will protect Brianne for the rest of his life. Soon, their hate relationship turned into an unbreakable bond of brotherly love and friendship. But their dependent and comfortable friendship will always be complicated because although Travis promised to protect her at all times, at all costs, there's a beast inside him that craves for Brianne like a drug. And Brianne isn't always immune to Travis's charms. But she already lost so much and Travis has become the most important thing she couldn't afford to gamble with.

A relationship so beautiful, they're afraid to risk it for anything... not even for love itself.

Unbroken (#3 in the 'Outcast' series) by TheWalkingDaryl

Andy's been in California for a while - no more than a few months at the most. The friends he's got will never replace the friends he had. School break is only about a week away, and Andy's made the decision to leave California for a few weeks to spend it with his friends and Juliet back home. Andy's predicament though, is only about to get worse. He's always had a slight problem when it comes down to his parents, and now is no different; being sent back down to California due to only 'getting in the way' wasn't exactly the way he planned on spending break. Ending up with more problems arising than he had to begin with, will Andy manage to keep it together just that bit longer, or will he just get shot down again and just break? ***Takes place directly after 'Moved'***
