Young Lather by edgynoir

1) NAKED - "'Free' is the word. It's like, imagine you're born in jail, so you're used to it - you've never known anything else. You feel sort of not perfect, but it's life, so... But then one day you get let out - you get freed. And you go out of the prison gates and, wow, there's the world, and you feel a feeling that you've never felt before. Never even dreamed of feeling, really. A brand new feeling - feeling free. Well, that's what naked in the woods feels like, so think about it." --------------------------- Join six 16 year-old high school friends in a summer of discovery. They grew close by swimming together in a forest stream, but now adventures with sex, booze, relationships and identity threaten to split them up.

Bliss by MissLaughALot_

Two weeks. Two weeks of sun, sand and stress-free fun. At least that's the package Lizzie was sold. Little does she know, the package was a dream. A sweetly wrapped lie fed to her by those she trusts the most. There will be sand, sure. And sun, lots of it. But stress-free? Well, with Isaac in tow, that's pretty much impossible. Convinced he's still bad news, Lizzie is determined to enjoy every single second of her vacation without him. Just because he's next door doesn't mean they'll cross paths...right?

The Summer of Absolutely Nothing by Sttrre

It's summer - the end of my first year of college. And I am home again, more than a little worse for the wear. College hadn't gone how I had expected it to go. After two years of the grind to get in, I thought I would find the kind of magic I saw in American high school movies, which I had been denied of in school - late nights, parties, wild adventures with whacky best friends, romance.... everything one is told is supposed to happen in one's teenage years. After two years of watching my classmates grow up and enter this world, I thought it was my turn, now. I thought my college life would be like a coming-of-age movie. But in reality? It wouldn't make a good story, of any kind - not even a sad one. The only thing I found were shiftless friends, stifling academic pressure and heartbreak. So now I was home - a little bruised, a little broken. A few dreams in shards around my feet. Turns out, I needn't have worried. The summer that followed changed my life. The summer of - after a hectic, stressful year - nothing at all. Nothing, and yet - everything.

A Normal School Day..? by jellerly

Imagine you're Jello and watch as you go through a school day that will leave you confused, a day that has so many twists and turns that you might as well call it a roller coaster. you ultimately make a new friend, but could possibly turn into something more? who knows? read it and find out! *warning* some minor swearing

Where They Go by morgey_orgey04

One day in the beginning of June, a moving van pulled into the driveway next to Erin Lewis' house. A young girl, around the same age as Erin, exited the van. Erin is rather introverted and all she wants is to make a friend. With the opportunity of a new friend right in front of her, she introduces herself to the girl. An entire Summer Break lies ahead of them, no one knows where they'll go. ****************************************************** -I do not own any forms of media referenced in this story.

Ribbons In Her Blonde Hair by dearpacificday

Two months into the rough whirlwind of high school, Adam Winters is already used to being the favorite target of fists and mockeries. Not everyone seems to be bugged by his quiet, eccentric nature, save for the 'pretty' ones. The ones with a comfortable background. The ones at the top. When the evidently attractive transfer becomes his seat neighbour for the rest of the semester, Adam is naturally wary---partly because of her brawny sibling in senior year, and partly because she meets all his criteria for people to avoid the most: pretty, rich, and popular. With an angelic smile, twinkling sapphire eyes and ribbons in her blonde hair, her persona screams perfection. A level he won't be able to achieve even in his quirkiest of daydreams---not like he'd ever want to. After all, despite her peculiar choice of friends and her persistent efforts to win his trust, isn't she just another potential bully? ••• (Word count per chapter: 2,300-3,000)

The Valley by BohEdgar

The uncharted territory of adolescence in the mid 2000's. The last summer of high school. The birth of social media. Nights at the roller rink. Heart break. New friends. Death. Life. Sex. Milkshakes.

Resilient by evantate

Let the hurt, hurt. If you don't, you'll never be able to move past it.

Chasing Sunsets by TellaAlvarez

(Complete) When popular Indie Adams gets paired with a boy she's never looked twice at for a photography project, she begins to see herself and her surroundings from a different lens. Although her life looks picture perfect from the outside, there's more than meets the eye. A story about love, healing, but most importantly about friendships- and the irrevocable bond that comes with being best friends. "an amazing story, you've captured the emotional and beautiful journey of loss and love" -@rynstadoll "I can't express how well written and executed this whole story was" -@jungkook_musclebunny
