Growing Pains by actuallyitsmonica

In the day-to-day trenches of high school, it is almost the default-setting to believe we are the main character of our own coming-of-age story. This is not wrong. It's just ours isn't the only story there is. The jocks, the nerds, the cheerleaders, the losers, the stoners, the fangirls, the skaters. Everyone's the realest most important person in existence, all of them, at the same time, first-person narrators to their own stories, stumbling into each other's plot lines, defying the status-quo, catalysts to ups and downs. A deconstruction of all the high school tropes and cliches written over the years, a deep-dive into the psyche of students trying to finish high school while going through irrevocable self-discovery, the most improbable of connections, and the insufferable pains of growing up.

By Your Side (Preview) by LiAWake

Sometimes the biggest threats are family. James, a soon-to-be high school graduate and ranking member of the locally known outcasts, is about to take the next step in his life. Reflecting on his past leading up to this, he regretted not doing what every other high schooler seemed to do, from constant partying and experimenting with drugs, but what he deemed most important-having a relationship. Watching his childhood crush, Hannah, who he was once inseparable with, becoming the most popular girl in school and leaving him in her rearview mirror. Fighting with his emotions and wondering how he'd ever rise above the seemingly more qualified fish in the sea resulted in James being consumed by his internal darkness. The only thing able to pull him out of it is his best friend, Clare-Hannah's outcast cousin. With everyone going their separate ways, it presented one final chance. James is forced to decide if Hannah's worth chasing after and keeping his darkness at bay. Or letting her go and fully giving in to his self-destructive ways.

COMPLETED✅ Two high school teenagers finding themselves, analyzing this ever changing world, and building love. This is the type of love you wish you found in high school but probably know way too well that it only exists as fiction. Today I'm turning my fiction to reality. ❣️•••❣️ Excerpt: Just as I was about to seek shelter under some building's roof, the tires of a car come to a halt, I wonder who might pity the lonely girl walking in the rain. The passenger window rolls down, and I spot the most unexpected person seated behind the wheel. "Get in" comes out his voice, and I must've stood there agape for a few moments because next comes his rhetorical question. "Are you getting in or continuing walking in the rain?" Eyebrows raised expectantly. He sounds annoyed, like he regrets his decision to ever stop and help me. ❣️•••❣️ #5 in cynical #2 in loveandfriendship #1 in opinionated #4 in ihatelife #10 in nerdgirl #10 in HighschoolRomance #26 in GoodGirlBadBoy *contains mature themes. *contains cursing.

i can't remember by mishidt

Danielle is a 16 year old girl who is not happy with her life and is thinking about ending it. One day, she gets hit by a car causing her to lose her memory. When her best friend, Gwen, finds out she forgot everything, devastated by the thought of her best friend not knowing her anymore, she does everything to help her remember, but nothing works. This book is also about how Gwen tries to survive without her best friend, it's about insecurities, it's about how people deal with them, it's about life and how unexpected and unfair it can be. Warnings: this story is sad. It does not contain anything mature, like violence or drugs. It only mentions self-harm and suicide, but it doesn't describe it or anything which I hope is not a problem for anyone. Started: May 28 2024 Finished: August 17 2024 The main idea is based on real life events, but this book is a work of my imagination and none of these characters are real. Any similarity to real life is just a coincidence. Please don't copy my work, I work hard in writing. Thnx for reading babe ♡

Eye Of The Deep by ElodieDB

Are you a fan of fantasy? Unreal things, adventure, unrealistic persons? If yes, this story is the perfect one for you. Turn on your imagination and enjoy the ride of the young girl called Amanda. Be part of her weird and wondrous life, yet stressful and hard. Be prepared to smile, laugh, drop a few tears and feel character's emotions. Amanda went on summer holiday with her family after the death of her best friend Oliver. She's having a great time along her friends, seaside, carnival... She meets a boy and immediately falls in love. It seems like her life is perfect and fun, but there's always a big twist in every story. She gets hurt, and it affects and changes her entire life. She needs to lie, and to go deep into the sea to find her escape and cure. That leads to the fact - Who to trust? Are the closest persons, such as family and friends, always the honest ones? Is Oliver really dead? Will she survive? Despite that, her mind is all up to finding the only thing that could save her. Will she find it? Or will she leave her old life far behind and never come back? How will the plot develop after she meets a lot of new friends and enemies? Keep up with development, adventures and let me know what do you like and opposite. I'm open for any thoughts. You can check out the trailer :) Enjoy!
