I started considering the general life of a protagonist. If I am going to have to write a story at the end of this, I want it to feel genuine. I wanted to draw from my own daring adventures and experiences but the thing was, I didn't technically have any- 

Wait. 
 
That was it. That was exactly what I needed to understand. 
 
I needed to collect experiences. Things I haven't done, or should have done long ago. A pact to live out the life a main character would have. Minus the swoon-worthy romance, I'm guessing. And the background. But I've got the future and there are endless possibilities on what to do with that. I'm not sure what the specifics of these endeavors are going to be but all I know is that I've got the perfect way to end my junior year and score an A in Ms. Koshi's class. 
 
I smile to myself for a brief moment and set my pencil down. 
 
The protagonist is... 
 
This'll be fun to answer in a couple weeks.

Lisa Reed is entering her junior year of high school and her isolated bubble is more comfortable than ever... 

Until her English teacher starts a new unit off with a semester long project about protagonists, main characters, heroes. She's not exactly excited as this story requires real-life inspiration and Lisa's life has never been very main character worthy. (Not bad but not exciting, ya know?) 

So, what does Lisa do? 

She makes a plan to experience new things, to have memories that are main-character worthy. Toss in a new, wary student who's not so adjusted to life in town but the perfect partner in crime and you've got The Protagonist Project.All Rights Reserved

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.

The Makeover Project by krsdnlslta

Ellie Reed is not just your average teenage girl. She is popular because of her twin brother, Elliot. Also, the fact that she is almost friends with the guys in the campus because she acts more of a guy than a girl, she loves to play different kind of sport same as his brother, prefers to hang out with guys rather than girls but she still has a handful of gal friends, and she does not really like make up or even any girly things like skirt. It made guys feel comfortable with her that made it impossible to even treat her like a girl. It does not really bother her at first, because she was happy but what makes her upset about being herself was when she had a crush on Matt Cross. He is the captain of the basketball team, smart and any girl would wish to have. She wanted to change but sometimes, she let her positivity kick in that someday, she would be noticed by him and they might go out on a date one day. Austin Prince, Elliot's bestfriend and Ellie's enemy is the most popular guy in their school. Every girl in the school is attracted to him and would want to get their hands on him. He's the football captain, a ladies' man and holds the reputation of being the bad boy because he always spends his time in detention. Austin and Ellie has always on the verge of ripping each other's teeth off, they were enemies since they first met and it was because of Austin's childish acts and childish bickers that made Ellie think that he was her number one enemy. It does not really bother Ellie of how Austin acts but one day, she had enough of what Austin thinks about her look that gave her the motivation to change. With the help of Ellie's gal friends, they started the makeover project. A love story that if full of humor, fights, hormonal teenagers, love, teen drama that would make you laugh and cry in the same time. Warning: The story may have some scenes and languages that are not suited for young audiences. Read at your own risk ;)

The Other Guy (BoyxBoy) ✔️ by geekiechicforall13

"I walked over to where Aaron was sitting on the ground, kneeling so that I was face-to-face with him. He was wearing a blank expression on his face so I guess he didn't really care if I kissed him or not. I took in a deep breath before taking his face in both of my hands and swooping down to kiss him. At first, I was so nervous I didn't realize that we were already kissing but after a few moments, I realized how soft his lips felt on my own. Before I can register it I felt him moving against me. I would have gotten off of him but I realize that he wasn't moving to get away from me. No, He was moving his lips against mine." °°°°° Aiden Moore isn't extraordinary. He has average looks, he is OK with sports, and his only strong point is that he is smart (although that doesn't mean much to his fellow classmates). And, of course, his virgin ass has never had a girlfriend, let alone a crush. It seemed as if he would never find someone. That was until he met her, Scarlett Hale. She was the most beautiful girl you will ever meet. Kind, sweet, and one of the few people with a higher GPA then him, she was amazing and Aiden imagined that she would be all his. Once Aiden gets rid of her boyfriend, Aaron Tyler. The most annoying guy you will ever meet, Aiden gags just thinking about him. The man is smoking hot and makes Aiden's dreams of getting the girl to seem very impossible. So what would happen if Aiden gets involved with the wrong person? Will Aiden get the girl? Will he fall short? Or will he fall into the arms of a guy who is in love with the girl he loves? _______________________________________ WARNING: First book EVER! The best part about this book is that it has some funny bits and introduces you to characters I use for a while. But, if you don't like the writing, please consider one of my newer works 😊 Started: May 10, 2016 Completed: September 2016

Cynical Souls by DramaQueenforreal

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.

Tenth Grade was Fun! by ThatPinnalPonnu

But romance isn't the only difficult aspect of life now, is it? - - - - I beg y'all to point out any grammar mistakes 'cause I would love an extra pair of eyes that could point out the mistakes. - - - - 31 / 01 / 2023 : Featured in Wattpad Outreach's "💎 Featured Stories - Best of Outreach Hidden Gems". 20 / 03 / 2023 : Second Place in Young Adult Romance category of Sapphire Awards.

Tired of Lies by MissYanxiet

*(COMPLETED) "The worst thing about being lied to is knowing you weren't worth the truth." He bit his lip. "I wanted to te-" His eyes began to water and as a single tear fell he looked at me and said "but what if you've been lying for so long you don't know how to tell the truth?" "I have and so will you." He shook his head, shut his eyes, and leaned his forehead against the glass. "And here I was thinking you would admit that you don't tell the truth either." I gripped the telephone as my knuckles turned white. "What do you mean?" "Come on Zoey I've seen you sneaking around acting like you're busy. You're hiding something and you won't tell me." All Zoey Campbell ever wanted to do was keep her head down and get through high school. Too bad it isn't that easy. Zoey is tired of everything and everyone. She is tired of being pushed around and tired of watching in the shadows. She is tired of pretending to like that girl that doesn't even know her name. Tired of pretending that she is ok when she isn't. She is constantly hoping for a better way out thinking she should just disappear. All she wants to do is scream but no matter how loud she screams no one can hear her. Don't worry things just get worse. Everyone thinks she's a "sick" girl and just another suicide case waiting to happen. I mean what kind of girl sits by herself everyday right? Zoey is running out of time and she thinks no one has tried to help her until her "special" speech in class. No one really cares about what she really thinks anyway. It just that feeling of pity. Everyone thinks she really is sick but she knows she's not. But what if she is? Maybe all it takes is that one thing to make her snap. As her life gets thrown into chaos and deep dark secrets she can't help but try to figure out the truth. Will she find a way to let her new friends save her or will she just end up as another suicide case? *Disclaimer wrote this in 2017 when I was 14.

Is He A She?! by Mistalee_

Going back to my old title 'Is He A She?!' instead of the Tapas one 'Testoster-zone.' _______ ❝Sometimes you don't have to be Superman or Spiderman to save a soul. You just have to dress as a guy.❞ _______ Parents and troubled looks are always a bad combination. Just like how getting bankrupt and asking to dress as a guy are a bad combination. Mission objectives: 1. Befriend unfriendly, cold, rich loner. 2. Make him social. 3. Get the hell out of this all boys school. But some things go unplanned just like how the mission gets altered a 'teeny' bit. Like, for e.g., 1. Make friends. 2. Become one of the boys. 3. Make her roommate 'life of the party.' 4. Have the time of her life. 5. And maybe, just maybe... fall in love. ________________ Dedicated to my sister/mentor/inspiration @Litdark ________________ r e a d e r ' s o p i n i o n "Your story has dripping sarcasm and drool worthy attitude of girls, and the amazing romance - I kid you not, no one wants to miss an amazing sarcasm dripping hilarious fiction." "That girl is da bomb. Period." "The feels and bromance is too real. Help!" "Short. But hilarious and downright funny. Good job." ________________ #1 [ humour ] # 32 [ teen fiction ] Cover credit: me Image credit to owner Trailer credit: yours truly _________________ © copyright 2015-2016 Please do not copy.
