angst betrayal comingofage friendsforever friendship love roadtrip teen teenager teendrama teenfiction teenfriendship teens travel travelling upsanddowns young youngadult

Growing up I felt as though the world didn't want me, especially in this town. However, with my friends, I feel a part of a family. we lived several whole different lives, just the six of us, the most important aspects of each other's lives
"Let's go on a road trip."
"Where would we go?" Avery asked the group. We all remained silent for a moment after that question.
"Anywhere and everywhere," Niko answered Avery. We all look at him with admiration for his ambitious attitude. I smile. I smile because I know this is going to change our lives forever. I smile because I know this is going to be one hell of a road trip. I smile because I know this is going to be a story to tell, a coming-of-age for all of us.
So yes, this is our cheesy coming-of-age story. And I am willing to tell it exactly how it is, how it was. No side plots, no filler words, or extra non-existent characters. Just us and the road.
And here we are sitting together, basking in our last moments of being a teenager...All Rights Reserved

Settling Slowly by AbigailGranger

2015 rolled in with a bang, and it did not have the grace to gift me with a social life that everyone in a one hundred year radius would be jealous of or that is even just the talk of the town. Instead I got myself into a complicated relationship which wasn't much talked about, a relationship that I didn't get into is talked about all the time and university is around the figurative corner. That is where you can factor in people I suppose I should call 'fans', the fascination that comes in with cutlery, pots, pans and other formerly boring things. But let us not forget that my parents are finally getting married and Mum can't shop for lace without me wanting to kill her, add in a dose of sleepless nights, invigorating kisses - which have nothing to do with the sleepless nights and a lot to do with nightmares - Harriet not knowing the meaning of the words "you're done" and Ice Ice Baby is still a thing. We're all growing up (except Dad who will still make inappropriate jokes at every inappropriate moment, some to do with what cannot be done when you're wearing a plaster cast) and holidays are being planned though some are less holiday and more a mad dash to find somewhere to live out in the big wide world without our parents. Life might be moving on, but I still go to McDonald's late at night with my friends. Some things at least don't change. Sequel to: Falling Fast Complete

Dejected (Short Story) by KainatKhattak2

"Let me tell you something, Baron!" I spatted with all the resentment I could muster at that time because I can never hate him, not even if I want to. He kept his hard stare on me. "A relationship without trust is like having a phone with no service! All you can do is play games" I continued. "You never trusted me, did you? You believed him for what he told you about me when you know me better than anyone!" I said through gritted teeth, letting the tears cascade my face. "We were bound to fall apart!" I closed my eyes before wiping my tears away. "I hate you! I am now singularly focused on your impending suffering" His words hit me like bullets and without sparing a glance at me, he left. He left me there in misery. He became my first and broke me. The feeling I was having right now in my stomach, it's like all the butterflies died and he was the killer!

"Carry on and I'll bite it," I shove him with my shoulder. He looks at me with surprise in his eyes as if I've just said something taboo. "What?" My eyes widen as I recall what I just said, did I just? "Yeah, never thought I'd hear something like that slip out of your mouth!" "You'll be surprised what I can slip in," I immediately cover my mouth with my hand.

Everything seemed perfect in her life, until she meets Jackson. With friendships on the line, a new life a head and a new guy in the mix, how will Ava cope with it all?

Finally Free by lulustoriesss

"I need you to be the put together one because I'm so fucked up. You've saved me." He whispers. "Carter, we saved each other." I mutter looking at him through my eyelashes. I lean into him, our lips not even an inch apart. "Sophia we shouldn't..." He looks hesitant. "Please, I need you." I almost started crying. "Please." I mutter one more time, my eyes begging for him. My body needing him. Sophia Carrington. She just moved from New York to California in search of a new life. When her life took a dark turn she's forced to leave everything behind. She just wants to finish her final year of high school, numb to the world, while learning to cope with the trauma she's endured. Carter Marquez. Newly single after being dumped by his girlfriend of two years. After losing his dad in a car accident he's fallen apart. The list of people he trusts is short, he hates letting people in. He's constantly trying to make up for his mistakes of the past, trying to find a new purpose in life. When the two of them collided, they instantly took a mutual disliking to each other. Misunderstandings and a dash of alcohol set a flame between them. Sophia hates the snarky remarks and stupid nicknames that leave his mouth. Carter thinks Sophia is just another trust fund brat. Soon their rivalry begins to dissolve and they learn that sharing the pain of their past can form connections they never thought to be possible.

Cynical Souls by DramaQueenforreal

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.

Then he came along by Kuchi_m_s04

My life could be described in three words. Loving but unloved. I knew my whole family cared less about me and many who were close to us knew it. It was an undeniable fact.Some would say I was ungrateful because my parents gave me everything- everything except their love. At times I prayed to God to give me another family but I knew better than that. He always has reasons for doing all things. I was raised in a home with 9 other siblings so at first I thought it was due to that fact. But it wasn't. They loved, cared and spoilt all my siblings. It stung each time I saw how happy they were even without me. It was like I never even existed. However, I existed just as the Hunts little secret and as the family black sheep. They thought I had some mental problem but I didn't. On another hand, I remained hopeful that my family would come to love me for who I was. I remained hopeful that my parents would shower me with the same love they did my siblings. But then he came along and changed everything.

Holding Back [COMPLETED] by joymoment

"I love how this book is turning out!😍 Not cliche at all!" - i_hatecliche "We might live next door to each other," Haley said, "but we don't live in the same world." Hooking her fingers around her backpack straps, she walked away from Jace. She had barely gone a few steps before he was at her side again. "What makes you believe we don't live in the same world?" he asked. "As far as I can tell, we do." "No, we don't. I'm...me and you're Jace Cortez. The dream of every girl. The friend to every guy. The star of the school. Girls. Sports. You're the ultimate player." "It sounds like you have a preconceived notion of who I am." "And it's one that has yet to be proven wrong." From books and a lifetime of sitting on the sidelines, Haley is convinced she knows how the world works, specifically high school. Everyone has a label and a box they fit in. This knowledge, paired with parents who are fighting, a brother leaving soon for college and a best friend who moved away has made her decide to never get involved. It will take being forced to work with her fellow juniors on a project, a boy next door with a infectious smile, a star gazer with an adorable puppy, and an unlikely pair of fangirls to make her see how truly wrong she was about everything. "IT'S NOT CLICHÉ!!!" - Moria987 "This is the reason y I keep coming back to this book...It's simply a breathtaking journey" - mariyamsajorawala "I don't usually comment but this is one of the best books I've read here. I love the fact that it's realistic and focuses on things that really hinder human interaction, perceptions and stereotypes." - yurfavegal "just gets better and better. How are all your characters 3D! Like this writing is so beautiful" - CrazyStarChick "Reading it for the second time, and the book still brings a smile to my face 😆" - grumpymood "She's practically Carter's twin 😂😂" - Guardian_21 #1 Breakingcliches #1 Arrogant #6 in Teen Romance

The Group Chat by CEQueens

This story is based off of actual conversations my friends and I have in our group chat. It all started with a simple crush. Maybe this all would have been avoided if said crush wasn't sitting at the same table as me and all the friends I wanted to talk to about him. Then Avery came up with the perfect solution: just make a group chat with everyone at the table except him! Brilliant... right? Follow the wonderful (and sad) story of my friends and I as we have GIF wars, see kidnappers, and tp houses. This story is based off of the group chat conversation, but NOT ALL OF THIS STUFF ACTUALLY HAPPENED. You'll understand why I want to make this abundantly clear soon.
