Anoush Manikas is a lot of things at once - a proud Greek-Armenian, a first-generation American, a rising high school senior, a dancer, a straight-A student, and a Juilliard hopeful. She also happens to be the second child and only daughter of legendary heavy metal guitarist Giannis Manikas. She doesn't let that get to her head, though. She's just Anoush, and she likes it that way. 

Anoush is in a weird phase of her life. She comes from a family of artists, writers, musicians, and athletes, and she doesn't want to be the only one without a claim to fame. But she wants to get it herself, not because of who her father is. Being 17 is hard enough without the existential crisis of being a celebrity's kid. How will she ever learn to stand out on her own two feet?

OUTCAST (Oli Sykes Fan Fic) COMPLETE by Joy_Syko

Imagine being the 'weird' boy that joins high-school mid-way through the year, who looks and sounds different to everyone else having transferred from another country... Imagine being the 'cool' girl every guy wants to be with and every girl wants to be, but knowing you're only popular because of your older brother's reputation as the coolest guy in school... They're both outcasts in their own way, but maybe together they can help each other grow. -------------------------------- This story contains adult content, language and sex scenes.

For the booksmart yet naïve 16-year-old Nicky, high school in her quaint little hometown island in the Philippines had always been predictable. Until that senior year. Nicky thought she got things all figured out. She'd be very good at school and be the valedictorian of the single-section class of 2010 of the highly looked-up science high school in their island. And then, she'd get a full scholarship to her dream university. All was fairly well except for a few things like grappling her feelings towards a long-time crush. Just when Nicky thought she could get through high school without too much boy-drama, a somewhat seemingly love life with a boy or two and suddenly, maybe even three was finally catching up with her during the last few months before high school graduation. She had never thought she could be wrong about a person. And that she could always be wrong about boys... ✨✨✨ Sidenote: I wrote this from November 2010 to April 2011, only a year ahead from the time set in the novel. This was fully uploaded on Wattpad in September 2013 for safekeeping. I hadn't gotten back to it in so many years nor find any means and time to promote it. This had long been completed but still needs edit. Enjoy reading! Cheers! P.S. This is not exactly a love story. And yet, it may read a lot like it.

His Spotlight by amiewxlker

Aaliyah is a regular eighteen-year-old girl. She lives in a small flower shop with an even smaller friend group. However, one thing that is not small, is her love for a boy. A boy who doesn't know of her or the heart flutters she feels for him. To him, she is just another ordinary girl who, like the rest of his fans, adores him dearly. Her room is crowded with his smiles and his movies are no exception. He is the perfect love interest behind a screen. That is until she comes face-to-face with her movie star Jackson Connor at his upcoming premiere. He has it all. The chocolate brown hair, the piercing green eyes, and the smirks that earn him the title of America's heartthrob. But, under his seemingly perfect visage of wealth and talent is insecurity and darkness just waiting to break free. When his eyes lay on hers, she is pulled into a movie that lives within his gaze. Her amazement, now seeming sweet, soon turns sour and leaves Aaliyah clawing her way out of it. Aaliyah should hate Jackson, and she does... but with more twists to uncover and their chemistry becoming harder to ignore, the two drastically different souls claim each other as their own. She hates attention. He craves it. He will do anything to shield her from the flashes and headlines even if it means leaving her in the dark and untangling her seemingly strong friendships. Will Aaliyah be able to handle his harsh past and merciless expectations or will she find herself straying away from the truth and her own personal movie star? • Book cover | Abbie_1412
