Darling by Julia_B_Ambrose

Bound by anonymous notes and a shared vulnerability, two teens, Elena and Nick, one recovering from a bad romance and the other hidden by shyness, unknowingly fall for each other, but their chance at happiness hinges on whether they can shed their pen names and embrace the messy reality of love. __________________________________________ Elena Ahlgrim, still reeling from the wreckage of a toxic relationship, was quietly trying to piece together her fractured sense of self when her melodies drifted into the ears of Nick Huang. Nick, a boy more comfortable behind the curtain of his mother's high school theater program than in the spotlight, was captivated by the unseen voice. Drawn to the music emanating from a theater dressing room, he stumbled upon a forgotten notebook and, on a whim, penned an encouraging message, signing it simply "from your admirer". When Elena nervously retrieved her notebook and found the enigmatic note, she responded in kind, crafting her own message as "mystery siren," unknowingly answering the unspoken question of Nick's heart. Through the pages of the notebook, a connection began to form, fueled by honest words and genuine emotions, yet cloaked in anonymity. As both Nick and Elena find themselves falling for the unseen writer, the question looms large: could these shy souls bridge the gap between pen and person, navigating their own insecurities and the shadows of past loves to find a real-life romance, or would the mystery remain, forever a beautiful song left unsung between them? __________________________________________ ---Book 2 of the Generations series--- ATTENTION! This series could be stand-alone books if you really want them to be ;) Written and Made by: Julia B. Ambrose

The Guy in My Spanish class by molliepollie2

This time, I can't help but flinch as he touches me and pulls the other strap down .. baring my other shoulder to his eyes. "Anthony .. you can't say those things. We .. we're supposed to be best friends." As I try to reason with him, he begins to kiss my shoulder .. making the words come out so much more weaker than intended. Anthony stays quiet after what I say, or rather he ignores me, instead using his other hand to play with the skin on my stomach exposed from the top. "I know .." He trails off. I hold my breath, anxious as I wait to hear what he's going to say next. "But I genuinely don't know if that's enough for me anymore .." Anthony moves my hair to side, and the words he speaks are paired with a slow kiss to the nape of my neck. Beatrix thought she'd never trust another guy again. After having her heart broken and being bullied out of her high school, when an opportunity to leave takes the form of a scholarship to a private university, she packs up and accepts happily. Everything was supposed to start over that year, all she had to do was lay low and maintain a focus on her studies to graduate. Until she meets a guy in her Spanish class. Beatrix's world is turned upside down as she explores new friendships and begins to open back up to the world. She begins to navigate her new life on campus, filled with arduous exams, study sessions, hard decisions and of course .. a little drama and excitement to make things entertaining. This is a slow burn!!!

Knife's Edge by TinyZebraThing

With a drug lord for a father and an addict for a mother, Jade Taylor has been dealt a pretty shabby hand in life. Her childhood was spent in a constant state of fear, her only solace being her two half-sisters, Charlotte and Bailey, who were forced to live the nightmare alongside her. Her father finally got caught when she was seven and for a fleeting, white-hot second, it seemed that things were going to be okay. She should've known better. She should've known that her mother would jump ship, choose the drugs and not the daughter. Suddenly left abandoned, navigating the murky waters of life in care, it took a little while longer for Jade to find her place in the world. Now, finally, she has. At the age of eighteen, Jade is counting down the days before her exams are over, excited to spend the summer with her two best friends and boyfriend. Unfortunately, things don't always go according to plan... not in a town like Greencliff. Upon meeting the Coleman's - a family that fits so perfectly into the 'gang' culture she so desperately wants to avoid - Jade finds herself teetering on the edge of a blade, carefully balanced between the life she wants and the life she wants to escape. The question is... which way will she fall? (This description is a work in progress and may be subject to change!)

"the way back to us" by xoxoluvwrites

They met as kids-classmates until the fourth grade-where he had a quiet crush on her before she transferred schools. Years later, fate brought them back together in high school. What started as friendship quickly turned into something deeper, and for four years, they were inseparable. They had plans, dreams, and a love that felt unshakable. Until the day she broke up with him and disappeared from his life without a single explanation. Years passed, but the unanswered questions never left him. Neither did the feelings. He tried to move on, to forget, but no one ever came close to being what she was to him. And just when he thought he'd finally buried the past, she came back-this time, as his fiancée in a marriage neither of them chose. She tells herself it's just duty. He tells himself he's over it. But the past lingers between them, unspoken and unresolved. The tension simmers, the familiarity remains, and despite everything, so does the pull between them. He fell first. And even after all these years, he never truly stopped. She thought walking away once was hard-she never imagined falling again would be even harder.
