A poem dedicated to my best friend that struggles with internalized homophobia and parents that don't understand any of what she goes through. They recently pulled her out of school when they found out she had a girlfriend, cut her off from all types of communication, and I haven't seen or heard of her since. I just hope that she stays the positive, bright person I've always known, and is strong enough not to listen to anyone who tells her that she is not supposed to love who she loves. For anyone in a bad situation, remember that these years as a teenager is a small part of your life. The problems that feel insurmountable now, will not seem that way in the end. You will be able to get away one day, and not feel like you are being controlled. You will be your own person who makes decisions for your own life. Please don't erase the possibility for a happy future when your life hasn't even started yet.

The Other Guy (BoyxBoy) ✔️
"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.

Deception (Lesbian Story)
--- "I was forced to master the Art of Deception in order to save my brother's ass. I was just supposed to do what I had do and disappear like I didn't even fucking exist. Forget everyone; forget I had met you. But I found myself realizing that it was impossible to do that after meeting you... because you consumed my every thought, I realized that every breath that I take was an action I had to do so that I could be with you and I forgot that I was supposed to pretend to be someone I'm not when I'm with you" --- --- "Before I met you, I was just supposed to worry of the things High School had to offer and then you came into my life and everything became more complex. Before you, I knew I was straight. I was sure I was straight; I had boyfriends, tons of them. And then you march into my life and sweep me off of my feet without even realizing you were doing it.

Scholar
[COMPLETED] [Warning: Strong language used throughout the book.] He put his hand over my notebook and the other over mine. I glared up at him, his golden brown eyes catching my attention. "I can't write like this," I pointed out. "Is this all you care about?" Ryan asked. I shrugged. "Not this specifically, but yeah, I care about my grades." Ryan smirked. I swallowed nervously but refused to break my stoic expression. He leaned closer to me, my heart pounding so hard against my chest it felt like it might break out and fall on the table between us. His mouth was right by my ear, and I could feel his warm breath when he spoke which sent shivers down my spine. "Well, aren't you a little a scholar?" *** The only things Alex Moris ever cared about were his grades and his sister. However, when the boy his sister likes, Ryan Smithe, makes things complicated and causes him to feel things he's never felt before, Alex realizes that, maybe, there's more important things in life than grades and scholarships.
