Unwritten Hearts by TheSnowbunnyLibrary

Anna never expected the quiet, thoughtful Sean to notice her, let alone smile at her like she meant something. With every little moment they share.

He believes in Anna. He defends her. And the more he does, the harder Anna falls... and the more she begins to wonder: Could he really feel the same?

Chase & Adrienne by 13xinator

It's the age old story. Boy meets girl. Boy and girl become best friends. Everyone around said boy and girl want them to be together. Boy and girl are aggressively oblivious to their own feelings. Naturally, the brutal reality that is high school drama causes problems between boy and girl. Long story short, this story has a very cliché premise. Read it anyway. Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated. Enjoy!

Nobody's girl by lovlylair46_2287

Iris is seventeen. She's quiet, she's tired, and she's used to being invisible. At school, the bullying never stops. At home, her mother barely notices she exists-unless it's to criticize her. There's no one to lean on, no safe place to land. And the pain she carries? It's not just in her mind. It's carved into her skin, buried under skipped meals, and hidden behind fake smiles. Every day, Iris wonders how much longer she can keep going. Then he shows up. Loud. Reckless. The kind of boy who doesn't care what anyone thinks. He's everything she isn't until, somehow, he notices her. Really sees her. But when your whole world has taught you you're nothing, what do you do with someone who suddenly wants to know everything?
