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

Just Hold On
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.Complete

The Best Kept Secret!
They say what's in the past keep it in the past but I wanted to know all about my past. It was things that I didn't know and that I wanted and needed to know! But my life turned upside down when my past is exactly what I should have left alone. Now if you ask me how it all began, I don't exactly remember but I know it started when I moved in with my grandma who I haven't met in all my twenty years of living. I have been in and out of foster homes since I can remember, living with families I knew nothing about. Being the outcast and them constantly asking me what's wrong because I simply did not speak. The only thing that kept me sane was my good grades throughout school. I got the satisfaction of doing the one thing that people kept telling me over and over I couldn't do. I stayed to myself and graduated high school with honors, getting a full-ride scholarship to any college of my choice. Of course, by having this accomplishment, it didn't make it any easier for me between my foster families. To them, I became the girl who was better than them. But I didn't care because when I turned twenty I finally got to start making my own choices. This is where I wonder if the first choice I made was the right one. The first choice I made was to go live off-campus with my grandmother during my first semester in college. I ask myself how could I be so stupid? But you will see just how stupid I was. Or was I?Complete
The Boy Next Door
His faint laugh stopped me in my tracks, my body turning sightly to look at him again. "That was cute. Really, I loved it, but you know I can't just stay away." He said while using air quotations for the last part of his sentence. My narrowed eyes continued to shoot daggers at him, "and why is that, Grayson? Huh?" I asked in a mocking tone. He rubbed along his jaw while pulling in on his bottom lip, his head lightly shaking from side to side. "What?" I said louder, my patience long gone. "I live right next door," he deadpanned, "I'm not going anywhere. As far as I'm concerned we're gonna be seeing each other practically every day, so this whole thing about staying away just isn't going to work for you. I don't let things I love go so easily." A chill went down my spine as I watched him walk up the stairs of his porch, "sweet dreams, Cam." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Eighteen year old, Cameron Woods, is ready to start her senior year alongside her friends and boyfriend, Damon Valero.

The Best Kind of Betrayal
It's the first day of June's senior year and everything is already going wrong. Her first boyfriend and supposedly love of her life dumps her for someone else, her heart is broken and feels like it won't ever heal again and her best friend makes her join the most unnecessary club on earth to help her find new friends she most definitely does not need. Still. New chances are for new beginnings, right? Instead of falling into a deep dark pit of self pity (however tempting that may sound), all of this betrayal ends up leading her to the best friends she's ever had and the most exciting school year of her life. Oh - and a whole new fake boyfriend, to get some revenge on that idiot who dumped her. And who knows. Maybe even more.
Tired of Lies
*(COMPLETED) "The worst thing about being lied to is knowing you weren't worth the truth." He bit his lip. "I wanted to te-" His eyes began to water and as a single tear fell he looked at me and said "but what if you've been lying for so long you don't know how to tell the truth?" "I have and so will you." He shook his head, shut his eyes, and leaned his forehead against the glass. "And here I was thinking you would admit that you don't tell the truth either." I gripped the telephone as my knuckles turned white. "What do you mean?" "Come on Zoey I've seen you sneaking around acting like you're busy. You're hiding something and you won't tell me." All Zoey Campbell ever wanted to do was keep her head down and get through high school. Too bad it isn't that easy. Zoey is tired of everything and everyone. She is tired of being pushed around and tired of watching in the shadows. She is tired of pretending to like that girl that doesn't even know her name. Tired of pretending that she is ok when she isn't. She is constantly hoping for a better way out thinking she should just disappear. All she wants to do is scream but no matter how loud she screams no one can hear her. Don't worry things just get worse. Everyone thinks she's a "sick" girl and just another suicide case waiting to happen. I mean what kind of girl sits by herself everyday right?

Everyone thinks she really is sick but she knows she's not. But what if she is? Maybe all it takes is that one thing to make her snap. As her life gets thrown into chaos and deep dark secrets she can't help but try to figure out the truth. Will she find a way to let her new friends save her or will she just end up as another suicide case? *Disclaimer wrote this in 2017 when I was 14.Complete
My Double Life
"-what’s your name?" My heart stopped. I shouldn't tell him my real name, because then he’ll want to know where I live and then what if he wants to meet up with me and take me into his white van?!
