I looked down at my phone: 
 'Cameron: Alright amanda :)'  

God, I hate being called by that name. Every time he calls me that, it puts me back into reality. That I'm not really Amanda... 

 'me: Hey, could I ask you for a favor?'  

'Cameron: That depends what KIND of favor ;)'  

'me: Ew. Not what I meant, Cam. Could you not call me Amanda? I want a nickname.'  

Cameron: lol sure, what do you want to be called then? 

me: I dont know, anything. Anything except Amanda. 

Cameron: hmm... How about jelly bean? You obsessive Jelly Bean eater.. 

me: that's perfect."   

I'm Hope Forbes, and I have a confession to make… something I never told anybody.
I made some Internet friends through a social networking site one day. What I didn't know is that those people would turn out to be my best friends for almost two years now.
Who knew that even behind a computer screen, they might just be the best people I've ever came across? Who knew you could fall in love with someone online?
But a love triangle is the least of my problems. 
This is my problem: I lied to them about my identity. To them, I'm not Hope. I'm "Amanda". I told them my name was Amanda, who's actually this queen bee at my high school. I got so carried away faking my identity that I used HER picture as my profile picture on the social networking site. I lied because I took advantage of the site to pretend to be someone I'm not. To escape from my life as a daughter of a single mother and a sibling of a spoiled older sister.   

I thought they were just "some Internet friends", but they proved me wrong. They're my best friends.   

What if they find out my life? Will they still forgive me?  What if the real Amanda at my school finds out that I've been using her picture to catfish? Will I ever meet them in person? I have to do something before the real Amanda finds out

They know everything about me… Everything except my True Identities

Gaydar by HoeyJoeyy
20 parts Complete
How do you tell if someone is gay? Well some people have the special ability to use what is called a gaydar, which can pinpoint signs or mannerisms that can determine if another is in fact gay. My name is Mason Lux, and I'm the 'gay best friend' of the queen bee of high school, Gabriella Grace, aka Gabby. Along with our other best friend Emily, we are called the GEM(s), the s is silent. Rulers of the school through gossip and drama, we are either adored and hated, there is no in between. While being popular is fun and all, there's something that it doesn't bring you, love - at least for me. Gabby on the other hand could get a boyfriend with the snap of her fingers, and the same goes for Emily. My love life is as dry as the Sahara, and I'm a little bitter about it. Until one day, Caspian Rose, the most attractive jock in this whole damn school, comes up to me. Never did I think the day would come where I'd talk to him, is this one of my dreams or fantasies? My heart beating fast, my face as red as a tomato. In his raspy voice he asks me - 'could you help me get Gabby to date me?' Oh how wonderful, finally my dream starts happening only for me to be pulled down to reality once again. After all, I'm the gay best friend, and the closest to Gabby (sorry Emily). What do I do? Tell him off and say I'm not a charity - haha as if! He's too perfect to turn down, looks like I'm in for quite the job. In exchange for helping Caspian date Gabby, he promises to get me a boyfriend. Claiming he has a 'gaydar' despite being a straight boy, which I highly doubt, especially since I don't have one. I can't tell who's gay and who isn't unless they're open about it. At this point I'll do whatever to find a boyfriend. Welcome to my crazy and desperate life!
Pretty, Popular and Partnered by FallenStar22

“Every girl wants to be pretty, popular and partnered.” I, Poppy Lake, need help. I seem incapable of functioning like a normal teenage girl; I’m not pretty, popular and I’ve never so much as held a boy’s hand let alone had a boyfriend. Wherever girls learn how to do this stuff, I need to find out. Do they have some secret society or something where they discover these skills? I’m thirteen and I hardly know how make friends. Funnily enough, that’s almost the least of my worries. My hair has not grown at all in the last two months and the little hair I have is frizzy and dull. I can’t wake up without it looking like a puffball and my attempts to grow it out have failed. The flakes of dry skin on my legs were bugging me so I tried to scrap them off but they were everywhere and rubbing my hand up and down my shin only revealed I needed to shave my legs. At some point, my thighs and tummy had expanded without me noticing (although how I missed that I don’t know) and now I looked like an elephant. Unfortunately, my ears support this look by being perpendicular to my head. I pulled my trousers back down and caught sight of at least another ten spots emerging on my forehead, chin and neck. I’ve tried squeezing them, putting toothpaste on them and even skipping chocolate for two weeks, but spots remain stubbornly there whatever I do. Why does my body feel the need to punish me so much? I threw myself on my bed so I wouldn’t have to look at my horrible, imperfect face in the mirror any more. “Urgh,” I moaned into the covers. There was a lot going wrong in my life: 1. My face is hideous; 2. I’m fat; 3. None of the clothes I own are remotely stylish; 4. I have never been asked out; 5. The most popular girl at school hates me; 6. And I fancy her boyfriend. ---- Based off How To Be Popular by Meg Cabot, the story follows Poppy, a young girl in a situation similar to Steph's who gets personal advice from the mentor herself.
Mr. Bad And I by RoyalInspiration

By sensing my presence, he sits up and faces me while that girl covers herself with sheets, and he asks with a smirk, "You want to join? We can do a threesome," looking up and down. I was frozen in my spot; he made his way slowly towards me, and I watched each of his moves carefully. He is so handsome. Blue eyes, they are so beautiful. Shaking the thought, I open my mouth, but no words come out. I shake my head as if to say no, and then I clear my throat and whisper, "N-No." He smirks, "Are you sure we can have double fun, kitten?" I shake my head with shock and mumble, "Y-Yes......." "Then why are you here, to watch me?" he asked rudely. "N-No...A-Actually I'm l-looking for a w-washroom." I stutter in fear and slowly take a step back. "Oh..." With sadness, he closes his eyes and exhales sharply. "Exiting the room and walking straight, it's on the right side." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi, I'm Kataline Layla River. My loved ones call me Kat. A nerd and good girl of the University of New York City. Teachers love me, and students hate me for that. Yeah, I hate attention; that's why my motive is to always blend in with the crowd without getting noticed. I'm basically from Florida City, and here I live with my three best friends in an apartment near the college campus. My life changes when my friends force me into a bet, and then my path crosses with college bad boy Ryan Carter, and everything changes. Hi, I'm Ryan Drew Carter. Captain of my college football team. People fear me; they love to call me Bad Boy. I love to hang out with my three buddies; they are like brothers to me. Nobody has the guts to mess up with me and my friend. People call our group dangerous. And then my path crosses with college nerd Kataline River. They say that everything changes at a time, and boom, my life also takes a turn. When they challenge me, I can't stop myself from making that bet. A wrong bet can change your life and you as well.

Being a teenager is easy? Huh, who said that? People say their high school years were the best years of their life, but for me they've been the worst. Finding out about my mom having cancer, my brother dating the biggest bitch in school, the one big mistake from my past following me everywhere I go and someone stalking every move I make is driving me insane. Sometimes I don't even know what's good anymore or who I can and can't trust. By the way, my name is Nessa Stone and I'm a junior at Skyland High, where I have two best friends, crazy teachers and a whole lot of adventures and issues coming in my way. I pretend to be strong and positive on the outside but on the inside I'm just a scared girl trying to get through life the best I can. Will I be able to be happy someday? To find love and be able to trust again? I don't know, but I hope so. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A BRIEF SCENE FROM JHO: I hear my phone making a noise and I walk towards it, maybe it's one of my friends needing something. I click on my messages and it's an anonymous text, 'Wouldn't you like to take revenge on your brother's girlfriend?' the message reads. I look outside my window to see if someone's there but I don't see anyone. 'Who is this?' I text back. 'Isn't it obvious?' The message appears after a few seconds. I dial the anonymous number to find out who's doing this but I go directly to voice mail. What the hell? I close my window's curtains just in case someone is indeed out there and I sit down in front of my desk for a couple of minutes. Who could possibly send me this? Maybe the same guy who send the photos to Derek. But I won't ask him today, he's already upset enough by what happened.
