Experience Me by KeajaT

Life is all about experiences. Experiencing situations, experiencing different places, things and most importantly, experiencing people. We experience different people every day whether you're passing someone on the street or having lunch with a coworker. Each experience is unique in design, some more than others. This is the beauty in life. We get the opportunity to experience these people and learn different lessons. Some of these lessons may be difficult and some may be enriching. Regardless, each one is worth the ride whether you want to believe it or not. I believe romantic experiences are the ones that teach us the most about ourselves whilst family and friends teach us important life lessons. You attempt to prepare yourself for the rush of emotions, try to gain some control, but your efforts are fruitless. Just enjoy a ride on the wave of unpredictability and experience each person with an open heart. Ariah Miller, a 25-year-old graphic designer, is a strong and determined African American woman set on accomplishing her goals and isn't looking for any emotional attachments. However, tall, dark, and gorgeous Silas Wilson becomes an investor at Ariah's job and he is used to working hard for something he wants and Ariah just so happens to be on his to-do list. Get ready for intense romance and untethered desire.

Somebody Like You by LethalDreamer01

Step one: graduate. Step two: accidentally sleep with your best friend. Step three: get trapped working summer camp together because your other best friend has no sense of boundaries. Now Enya and Maddie are sharing a cabin, pretending nothing happened, and doing a terrible job at it. It's hot. It's messy. It's gay. * * * The summer before college was supposed to be chill; sunburns, iced lattes, maybe a mild existential crisis. But when Skylar signs everyone up to be counselors at a middle school camp, Enya and Maddie find themselves trapped in a mosquito-infested nightmare... together. One small problem: They may or may not have ACCIDENTALLY hooked up after graduation. And Maddie is convinced Enya planned the whole thing. Between canoe races gone wrong, s'mores that end in arguments, and bunkhouse confessions they swore would never happen again, both girls are about to learn that feelings aren't something you can logic your way out of-or yell your way past. Because sometimes the person who drives you craziest... is the one who feels like home.

To: The Framing Nook, 47 Pine Crescent by Annika_Dane

This story is written and owned by Annika Dane (also posting on Royal Road) He was supposed to leave. She wasn't supposed to matter this much. Falling in love wasn't part of the plan. Brian's ready to disappear. Burned out, restless, and convinced he's wasting his life, he's already packed his escape plan. No attachments, no mess. Then there's Rebecca. Quiet, stubborn, and impossible to ignore. What starts as a distraction turns into late-night talks, shared playlists, and a connection Brian never expected. But opening up isn't easy when doubts and fears get in the way. Between misunderstandings, old insecurities, and the weight of everything left unsaid, they'll have to figure out how much of themselves they're willing to risk. He reads people easily but struggles to read himself. She keeps her feelings tucked away where no one can reach. And somehow, in the middle of all that, something real begins to take shape. A slow-burn college romance about messy feelings, unexpected connection, and the terrifying risk of letting someone truly see you.

The Deconstruction of Eliz by Rossy1eliz

When you see someone act outside of what you consider normal, do you judge or help them? How does a grown-up who grew up in a world not conditioned for her behave? How does bullying affect adulthood? This story is for introverts. If your life is rosy and optimistic, you should leave; you won't be able to handle it. Eliz struggles with anxiety and feels disconnected from others. Consequently, she imagines a fantasy world that parallels her own, where she has everything she cannot attain in real life. Her lack of experience is leaving her with doubts about neurodiversity, depression, her sexuality, and the loneliness that comes from her introversion. She struggles to find the strength to face a world where people do not see her as human and project their insecurities onto her, clinging to her "antidotes" as she calls them: a furbaby named Sky, music, chocolate, and Netflix. Without a support system around her, she uses all the stories she sees on the screens as a compass in her life and hopes to get the same result. Because if it works on TV, why not for her? She expresses what she can't convey through words in her mind by using analogies of TV characters or songs. Eliz ponders whether there's a place for her, viewing life through the lens of a mother who had to raise her alone and a sister who resembles a model from a magazine. A friend who is more of a friend when both are doing badly and a job she got because of dropping out of college. Add being monosyllabic, withdrawn, and a boss she doesn't know how to talk to because she "thinks" she's interested in him, but what does she do with that? Come in and look at the mess in her head, hidden behind a desk answering phones. Eliz is repetitive and full of insecurities. She is afraid of her shadow, kind of crazy, but with a good heart. © Registered in SAFE CREATIVE 2304104018014©All rights reserved.

Because Of You ✔️ by letiiciaa331

❝ I don't have time to waste thinking about a boy who will only destroy my future,❞ I say getting closer to him with every word, maybe a little too close. I feel his breath fanning my face. He licks his lip as a sneaky smirk slips onto them, his greenish-gray eyes shift between my lips and eyes, making my traitorous breath hitch. ❝ You saying you think about me, Torres? ❞ ~ Mariana Torres is the first in her family to go to college. Being the first in a Latinx family comes with more pressure and stress than usual, something Mariana is used to. She wants nothing but to make her family proud, even if it means pursuing something she's not interested in. Now heading off to UCLA on a full-ride with her best friend, she's finally getting the chance to get a strong education and become a successful doctor. But every perfect plan has bumps in the road, and this one just happens to be a beautiful one. Aiden Grey lives life like he's dying. He parties, drinks, smokes, burns through his money, and sleeps around with every girl at UCLA.

Pages Unfolding by the_river_1n_egypt

Raegan, or should we say, River Silvia, is not the type of person to socialize or be around people in general. She doesn't even eat in her own school's cafeteria. Instead, she spends that entire hour in her school's library, where she finds solace and quiet. Which is how she met Willow. Willow Presley is the complete opposite of River. She enjoys being around people, especially those who she loves. Although, she realizes that being in big circles is so noisy, and eventually finds that being around one singular person is sometimes the only person you need to be around. The only downfall is that River is struggling with self-discovery. She believes she can't love someone if she doesn't even realize who she is yet. But Willow thinks otherwise, and makes it a promise to stick with River throughout this identity crisis. While the library is full of stories to read, Willow and River are basically a story themselves being unfolded in the middle of the room.
