Five years at the same school, and she's never met him. Never had a conversation, and barely even looks his away. 

The eccentric girl doesn't have many constants. Scout Iris never thought she would find someone who she could trust and would accept her.

The lonely boy keeps mostly to himself. He's the type that no one understands and he likes it that way. Derek Holden does see one person he'd like to understand him, if he just didn't have to explain.

"But your mine." He pleads. 
"Your place is with me." Continuing to crush my heart. 

"I just can't." I say softly. 
"Thank you for being my Latchboy." I kiss him for what might be the last time. Then try to get in my car. 

"Wait if I said I would marry you right now?" He says placing his hand against the car door. 

"You don't mean it." I can't look at him. 

"But if I did?" He meets my eyes. 

"Derek, please stop. You're just making it harder on both of us." The tears are here. 

"Stay. One more night?" His last attempt.All Rights Reserved

The Return of Love (Editing) by wanderlustwritr

Life for me has always been easy. Hang out with friends, do my homework, eat and sleep. That was a typical day in the life of Cassandra Matthews. That was until I hit high school. It's my last year and I still haven't had my first boyfriend, nor do I want one. My friends are more interested in getting me involved in a love life than I am, and will do anything to make it happen. This involves taking the side of Derek, a player and flirt in my school. The only way to avoid him is to tell him I'm already seeing someone. Who better to say then my first crush, Ashton? He moved away years ago and I could just tell him it was long distance right? Wrong. What am I going to do once I find out Ashton's on his way back and I have to convince Derek we're dating? It was just a little crush and we were best friends, I'm sure he'll go through with it... Right?

rachel by RMOSHER

I stare at Matt's face as he looks down, concentrating on the game. I can tell he's so angry. He's holding it in his jaw, he's clenching his teeth. He's up in his head and I don't know what's going on up there but I just know it's not good. Even if I get him back out now, I know that he's going to overthink everything later tonight. "Matty, it's ok." I whisper. He immediately looks up and finds my eyes. His blue eyes are bluer than normal. Impossibly blue. Not even a gray blue. But a pure, brilliant blue. "It's not ok, Rach. I fucking hate him." His swear catches me off guard a bit. But my eye contact doesn't waver. "Thank you." "You're welcome." My favorite color immediately changes to blue. --------------- Two childhood friends have spent a lifetime battling demons. Will life ever give them a break? Can Matty and Rachel find an ending that is even remotely happy? --------------- DISCLAIMER: This book contains: Adult language: LOTS of Profanity Mental Health topics (anxiety and depression, PTSD) Adult situations: sex, drugs, alcohol, sexual assault Please be aware that: THIS BOOK COULD BE TRIGGERING.

I try not to stare most of the time, but for some reason, tonight, I just couldn't look away. I've seen many pretty girls before in so many different places; Including the light rail, but for some reason tonight, she was just so much lovelier than any other girl I've ever seen. Why am I even getting worked up over her anyways? It's not like I'll ever see her again. Well, that's a perfect excuse to keep looking! I'll never see her again, so why does it matter if I continue to look. Well then, that settles it. I'll continue to look... He was right. Normally, when I see a cute girl, I'm like eh, but because she's just so pretty, and also because I don't have much time left, I might as well. "I mean, come on dude, You might as well." What a perfect sign. I just said it, and now he just said it. Definitely means I gotta do it. I wanted to text him back to let him know I was going to. Even though he probably thinks ill chicken out at the last second. "Your right. I might as well."

Split by NaruhodoAWrighto

[Every story has many sides, this one here is Split in two.] Introducing Henry Simmons, teenage student just like any other, surviving the harsh highschool ambient everyone goes through. Henry's sour life turns into a confusing mess when his best friend's twin brother shows up, the way he acts towards him makes him confused, he tries to figure out what he did wrong. He has truly no idea. //TW: Mention and portrayal of Mental health issues and conditions, which may not be accurate.// - - • • • - - ["I feel like I'm dying." Henry confessed, his guts hurt, his head was spinning, his heart was pumping and his mind was screaming, he wished to sleep and rest for at least a moment. "You're not dying, you're just wasted out of your shit." Nick said. Henry looked at Nick, and he looked down, at the floor. "Holden is a piece of shit, but you have a certain thing that intrigues me." Nick confessed.] "Me?" Henry asked. "You, Henry Simmons, not Holden Simmons." The staring contest became a contest of curiosity, a sort of attraction like a magnet, pulling and pulling, but never strong enough to force the motion.] - - • • • - -

Desire (Completed) by Bee90s

"If you were really my best friend, you'd see that you were the only person I've ever wanted to be with. You've been dating everyone else while I'm just sitting around waiting for you to open your damn eyes!" I yelled at him as tears streamed down my cheeks. He looked at me with wide eyes, clearly confused. He then held a sympathetic look on his face when he saw how passionate I was about this entire situation. I can't believe he didn't realize all these years that he was the one I wanted to be with all along. "How was I supposed to know Riley? You didn't tell me shit!" He yelled back at me but still held his same sympathetic look. I shook my head at him, wiping my face as I backed away from him, stepping into a pile of snow in the process. There was already snow on ground but more snow had just started to fall from the sky. "Look, I have to go. My mom wants me home for dinner." I said turning on my heels and walking away towards my house. I didn't even bother looking back but I knew he was still standing there. I wondered if he'd run after me or if he'd sweep me off my feet like I always imagined but no, nothing. Just broken dreams and maybe even a broken friendship. *For hopeless romantics

It all seemed perfect to me, but there was something else deep down inside this stranger. "Why are you here?" I stood on my toes and tried to look taller compared to him. He rose an eyebrow. "My sister, she's here." He paused, "Somewhere." "Oh," I frowned and look to my shoes. "Why are you here?" I felt his breath on my forehead. "Me?" I placed my finger on my chest. I nodded and looked up to meet his gaze. It was hard not to get lost in his eyes. Beautiful. "I need space," I began, but I didn't know how to finish, I sighed. "To find myself."

Heavenly Sin (EDITING) by IMAWRITESSS

"I could kill you," he grins holding the gun to my temple. "I wouldn't be scared," I reminded him. He trails the gun under my chin lifting it, allowing me to look him in the eyes. "No one would know you were murdered by me," he continues making me smile. "I think I might have a gun kink;" I tell him while holding eye contact. "Fuck," he mutters as he smashes his lip onto mine, •••• The crimson colour pools beneath me as I let him twist the dagger that had been living in my heart since the day we had met. Sometimes we settle for the love we think we deserve only because are parents didn't portray it better therefore we think the bare minimum is over the top. ••••
