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

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.

Blue Lavender. by ButteryHeart

*Insert dramatic music* Two best friends, normal right? Well not in this case. Love, wasn't a thing in neither of their lives. But when each other entered, it...was awkward..? A not so innocent blonde, and a very outgoing, annoying, brunette. Stuck between, just friends, or each other's love interests. What will they do? Will boys get in the way?, or were they always meant for each other... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Avery and I were walking the field, talking to each other, or should I say just her talking and me listening. We walk passed this tree then she stops. "Wait! Can we sit under this tree, it's kinda hot, and also I'm getting lazy." I smile at her. "Of course!" I say going under the tree and sitting down. She walks over as well, I pull my hand out to help her, she takes it and sits next to me. "Wow, such a gentleman" she mocks. I laugh at her joke. I love that she makes me smile.

Half of My Heart ✔️ by koolkenz

how far would you go . . . for someone you love? ♔ Levi steps forward, placing himself between me and Jack. Like he's protecting me from him. But I don't need protecting, certainly not from Jack. "Who do you think you are, dude?" Levi spits, getting in Jack's face. "Look, Scarlett was just helping me out with a proj-" "I'm not your dude," Jack bites, and I want to tear my hair out of my head. This is going downhill very fast. Jack turns to me. "Scar, we need to talk," he says lowly. Then loud enough for Levi to hear, "So can you please get this kid to leave." "Hey, you don't get to come in here and start ordering her around," Levi says harshly. "You don't control her." "And you think that you do?" Jack spits. ♔ When Scarlett moved off to college, she hoped to start anew and find her way in this world alone. Two problems. One: her older brother goes to the same college, and it seems like he's everywhere, keeping her from doing everything she hoped to do as a college freshman. Two: her brother's devastatingly handsome best friend also seems hell-bent on ruining her college experience . . . but in a different way. Their paths keep crossing, and Scarlett is reminded of the powerful attraction that they've both ignored for far too long. Not to mention, a new face begins to occupy everyday Scarlett's thoughts. When Scarlett is paired with an allusive, darkly handsome stranger for a film project, her world begins to open in ways she never thought possible. But as his mystery unravels into dark secrets, she wonders if she's falling a bit too hard. Before long, Scarlett is forced to realize that balancing the hearts of two boys at once just might result in the breaking of her own.

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!"

Altered by LuellaOpal

Have you ever met someone who alters the course of your life? For good or for bad, they've come in, given and taken, and then- BOOM! Your life was never the same. There's always a change, an altering of reality. When you meet those people, the reality that you've known your whole life is suddenly gone and a new one has taken its place. When those moments happen, there's no going back. You can try to return to the way things were but nothing, and I mean nothing, can take you back to exactly how it was. That's what happened to us. I think that's why we're still trying so desperately to get back to some sort of normalcy. Four years later and we're still on the ground, crawling, in search of the happiness that was lost that June. Summers will never be the same. Midnight walks through my neighborhood will never be the same. Field parties with bonfires and loud music will never be the same. I still don't know why you left and what lead you to the decision you made. What I do know is that we're here. We're alive and we're pushing forward to the future. A future that you're not a part of. But in some ways, I'm glad you're not a part of it. I just wish it wasn't like this. *** TRIGGER WARNING*** SA, abuse, suicide, substance abuse, and mental illness. This is a complete story that is much like life; fast, full of surprises, and not always how we want it to be. This has been a project of mine for over three years. It was self-published on Amazon, but after some issues in publication, I decided to just upload it on here. I hope you fall in love with these characters like I have. The friends in this story are trying to make names for themselves, figure out who they are, who they can trust, how to love, and how to separate themselves from a restrictive community. As in any coming of age story, they will experience growing pains... but will they survive them before its too late? PLEASE READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS.
