Truth be Told ✔️ by nataliasmithss

The rivalry between high schools is fierce. But the rivalry between Baylor High School and Brentwood High School was fiercer. When people come to these schools, they learn two very important things quickly. 1. Every competition between these schools matters. If you lose, you are shamed. 2. Absolutely NO contact with anyone from the other school Alexa Baker had to live and die by these rules because her brother Seth promised that if she didn't, he would make the rest of her junior and senior year hell even when he was at college. He was the reigning senior state quarterback. He couldn't have his little sister of all people break these rules. So even with all of her curiosity towards the mysterious people of Brentwood High School, she stayed away and stuck with her friend group. Until a run in with a mysterious stranger at a sold out movie makes her rethink everything she thought she wanted. A conversation she overhead drags her into a secret bigger than the rivalry that shaped her childhood. And Homecoming...well, Alexa's life would never truly be the same. For good or for bad. ***Completed August 22, 2018***

My One Regret (BoyxBoy) by asphericity

"Remember this - don't fuck up my life more than you already have, pretty boy. You're gonna regret it." Even while knowing that he felt nothing towards me other than hatred, that was the first time I really acknowledged the small things about Blake Brooks, something I never thought about before. His face was like a drug I couldn't get enough of. -- Theo Wright is a quiet, and intelligent nerd, who's academically oriented. He comes from a family with a prestigious and wealthy background. He's usually left alone, ignored, and overlooked, but not at his new High School. Not at Redsen High. With his parents firing half of the town's shop owners to make room for more chain restaurants and stores, the town of Redcliff is enraged at the Wrights' actions. Especially Blake Brooks, a popular and obnoxious jock, who just so happens to live next to the Wright mansion, and coincidentally, goes to the same school as Theo. When Blake finds out the news about his parents' unjustified unemployment, he's angry and provoked. And what better way to get back at the Wrights', than to find his way into their business secrets? But to achieve this, he first needs to find his way into Theo Wright's heart.

While we sat at our table eating lunch. A few of the queen bee's minions crossed by, sending death glares towards us which is getting old by now. Aubrey had been staring at a certain table for a long time. The table belonged to the nerds. But not any nerd. She was staring at Nathan Lockwood. I wondered why she would stare at him, and got an idea. "A Bet." She and I said in sync. I wondered if we had the same thought as usual. She watched me wonder. "The one who gets the good boy to fall in love wins," I said. "The one who gets Nathan Lockwood to fall in love wins," She said, clarifying my words with a smile. We sat staring at each other, thinking about how to make this bet interesting. "The loser pays for our first-semester apartment rent at college," She said and now she caught my attention. Something about this bet seemed too easy. That's why I agreed to it. "Deal". -- What happens when you bump into a familiar stranger, but can't place where you have seen them.

Hidden Truths|✓ by PinkPreppyPerfect

When Olivia Parker is found dead at a high school party gone wrong, it seems obvious who her killer was. Wesley Owens was found next to her covered in blood. Obviously, he did it. The question was why. With the entire senior class attending the end of the year bash, it shouldn't have been that simple to get away with the crime. There had to be witnesses and alibis, especially in the tight-knit friend group found at the scene. Now, with the eyes of everyone on them, the group has to pick up their broken pieces and figure out what actually happened that night before one of them gets falsely accused. With each step closer to the truth, the friends start to get more and more hesitant to reveal the truth and start to realize no one seems to be innocent. (Featured on Wattpad Picks twice!) (Shortlisted for the 2018 Wattys!) In the process of a rewrite!
