Blues and Yellows by Lukeland13

🟦🟦🟨🟨 When Wren Summers confessed their love to Silas Wright on a fateful November afternoon, they thought they'd receive a straightforward answer; a yes, or a no. It was so simple, right? Now that they were met with an ambiguous state with the boy they once loved, they now begin to be coincidentally yet constantly forced to interact with one another and learn things they never knew about each other before. As Wren slowly falls for the boy for a second time, they're left in agony and frustration as they wonder whether the red on Silas' face was a daydream or a reality. Will they? Won't they? It's hard to say, but when the golden leaves came, Wren knew their golden nightmares were at play. TW: Violence [NEW CHAPTER EVERYDAY 5:00PM UTC+8]

Outcasts by KatJWarren

Cassidy lives like most other under 21s - she follows the law. She knows that if she doesn't, she risks being taken away. Rebellious behaviour cannot be tolerated under any circumstances, especially with her parents watching her every move. The rules have been in place for a long time - the Democrats have beaten the Republicans in the New Elections for the past 60 years, with their names being the only recognisable aspects of their parties when comparing to the past. Anyone that chooses not to follow the rules can drop out and become what's known as an Outcast, but then you risk being imprisoned. While America seems to be running perfectly under these laws, a rebellion is stirring among the professionals. With secrets and lies in government and families alike to change the future of America forever, Cassidy finds herself caught up in the middle of the all out war that is about to break out. What she thought she knew about her world is about to change forever, bringing everyone she knows down with her. DISCLAIMER 2016/2017: This book is a few years old at this point, and due to the political uproar in American in 2016 I feel the need to make this abundantly clear. Outcasts takes place in a dystopian world in an undetermined year in the future, and the political parties depicted in this story - the Republicans and the Democrats - are in no way, shape or form a commentary on their real-life counterparts. I had very little knowledge of American politics when I wrote this story, and if I could go back and change their names I would. Throughout the story you will read of absurd flaws in both party agendas, and in no way did I ever intend to shame or defame the real life Republican and Democratic parties of America. See them as purely fictitious - that's what they are, after all.

MINE by DreamJunky

"Now that I know what makes you tick.." He said walking over to me. "I know how to make you listen to me." He brushed my hair behind my ears. Damn it. This is what I was afraid of. Showing too much emotion has caused him to see my weakness. "Don't touch me" I slapped his hand away. "You're gonna need to learn how to control that attitude of yours princess." Cole smiled turning around and going into the bathroom. ----------- With the tragic passing of her mother, Emily was sent away into the foster care system. She lives every day wanting an escape. She wants to make memories that can shadow over the old ones. All she hopes for is a good life, filled with good memories, good company, and something to be remembered by. Little does she know that there is someone else who wants that for her too. Just remember that not everything is what it seems.

Desired by EllieCage

(Book 2- COMPLETED) Sequel to Untouched. This story will make more sense if you read Untouched first. Kit and Zach are determined to put as much distance between them and their settlements as possible. Kit is running from her captors. Zach is running from rejection. The only problem is sometimes you can't escape your previous life, no matter how far you run. What happens when Kit and Zach venture off into a world that has been destroyed by a pandemic? A lot. Side note: - References to sex but no sex scenes (there's lots of other stories on Wattpad to get that fix from- I know from personal experience ;) ) - References to abuse (this story is going to be a bit darker than my previous one)
