𝗙𝗶𝗮𝗱𝗵 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗼𝗴𝘂𝗲 prefers not to interact with the 'popular' crowd. She has never wanted to befriend any of them. Fiadh confides in her one and only friend. Apart from being pessimistic Fiadh is fine in school. She's got good grades and behaves well. She also loves playing guitar. Music is her life. Her existence was simple and that was enough for her.
𝗟𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗲 𝗛𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗹𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵 has been shoved into a life she never wanted, forced to care about appearances and status. She never asked for any of it, but who was she to complain when others had it worse? Responsible for her younger brother Sean due to her emotionally absent mother, independence was all she knew. Lonnie had always tried her best to shield Sean from their mother's cruel words. Lonnie didn't need help, she was doing just fine on her own. She had been cooking, cleaning, and nurturing for ages. She had been mothering.
What happens when Lonnie moves to Fiadh's school? Lonnie had already known most of the people at St Joseph's since she had gone to school with them when they were kids.
Lonnie quickly gets sucked back into the popular group and unwillingly pulled into their gossip and drama. Fiadh considered Lonnie to be just another stuck-up popular girl.
Is there more to the Lonnie than she thought?

Ashes Of You And I (Completed) | ✔️
"Her troubled eyes held fire. The kind of fire that was capable of burning me to ash." ***** I grabbed her chin with my free hand, making her look at me. "I hate that I don't know you. I hate not being a part of your life, like I was before." I leaned a little closer, as her intoxicating scent filled my lungs. "Trust me, I can't hate you, no matter how hard I tried." "So you have... " It came out as more of a question than a statement from her as she looked at me with her big blue eyes. "What?" I frowned, dropping my hand from her chin and grabbing her hand, instead. "You have tried hating me then?" She asked, tilting her head to the side. This time it sounded more like a statement than a question. "I have." I sighed, dropping my head in shame. "And it made me lose the most important person in my life." ***** One night. What harm can one night do? It can change lives. Turn best friends into enemies. Turn someone's life upside down. Emily Waters and Ryder Green, were inseparable, joint to the hip, always had each others back and loved each other behind the best friend facade. But one night changed it all.

Pained
⚠️ Cringe Warning ⚠️ my story is literally a joke don't say i didn't warn you 💀 . . . I looked at the person who called me and my eyes immediately locked with an angry Sean. He stalked towards Sara, Nic and me. Sara quickly moved away, obviously frightened with this unknown side of him. He grabbed my arm and pulled me away from Nic. He pushed me behind him, his menacing eyes never leaves Nic's confused eyes. "Who. Are. You." He rudely asked. What's his problem? Nic raised his eyebrows, oh no. ••• Chess Brittney Aguilera A girl with a history. Hides it with her most beautiful smile. 5"2. Well you can say that she's quite innocent. Makes people want to protect her at all costs. Not that fond of guys, but definitely straight. Sean Alexander William 6"2. A kind hearted guy. Ruthless is NOT the word to describe him. Very considerate and loves to share. But well, when it comes to the love of his life, he will get super possessive. And yes, a very good looking gentleman for sure. *winks* What happen when these two, who had been neighbours for quite a lifetime, decides to finally cross each other's paths? Will Sean be able to help his love to survive the storms? Will Chess finally acknowledge Sean as more than a partner-in-crime? Can they fight the battle together? ×××× A/N : Sorry for my grammatical errors. English is not my first language. Also please do mind that I wrote this story when I was like 4 (lol jk but you get my point right), so the story line is a bit immature and messy. The story gets better everytime, I promise! I think. . . . most impressive ranking(s): #4 in wattysComplete
Maybe
An internal voice whispered, "Call him." But I chose not to. I dismissed it once more, saying, "He never liked me anyway." Yet the dilemma lingered. "But maybe he does. The way he looks at you... it's different." Out of nowhere, he glanced my way. My heartbeat quickened, sending shivers down my spine. I averted my gaze, pretending to look around. "Has he noticed me? No, wait-oh my god." --- After switching high schools, Nina discovered a new way of life. She fell in love, made wonderful friends, and everything seemed perfect. But Ethan-a popular boy who never focused on anyone but her-was the object of her hatred. He was always there, always keeping her safe. He used to annoy her endlessly. She hated him deeply. Until she didn't. For a while, she was content with her high school experience. That is, until something mysterious turned her world upside down. Forced to move to a new city, Nina had to cut ties with everyone she once knew. Eight years later, fate brings her face-to-face with him again. "Ethan..." He's the key to everything-the truths she never knew. When she was lost in the dark, he always held the light. But now, things are different. She despises him. He's colder than ever. Or perhaps she fears him. Fears that he'll leave her again. Will their lives ever return to normal after everything they've endured? "Maybe?" "Maybe yes. Maybe no?" --- Started: 8 November 2021 Ended: 19 December 2022 Rewritten: December 2024 --- ### Rankings Goals So Far: #1 Adolescente #1 given up #1 blinddates #1 pretend #10 twistedromance #50 high school romance --- ### Notice: This is my first published story, and it contains numerous grammatical errors and bad editing.

"Tell me. Why won't you tell me?" He asks and I look towards him slowly, "You didn't even talk to me until yesterday! I'm trying to make it so nobody notices me, Kingston. I don't need this."

An Unexpected Moment
... that changes everything Sarah was starting her junior year of high school. Looking at herself in the mirror, she saw a pretty average blonde haired, blue eyed, teenager. She was neither in the popular group, nor one of the many cliched outsiders. Sarah was a nobody. She liked to blend in and lay low. It was her way out of not only this town, but her house. No one knew it, but her father was a high functioning alcoholic that often took his anger out on his family. With her older sister now in college, it had turned to her more often. Laying low in general was a good strategy. Across town, Ryan was prepping for his final year in high school. While he wasn't the stereotypical quarterback of the football team, he did fit into the popular crowd. His sports of choice included basketball and soccer, either of which might line him up for a scholarship next year. Ryan had a group of close friends and a lot of adoring acquaintances. It wasn't easy juggling his athletics and keeping the grades up, but he was just that good. The supporting parents didn't hurt either. It might be a cliché romance, but it will be fun to see what the year and beyond holds. ------------------------------------------ This is a story I wrote years ago, or at least partially wrote. As I transcribe it here, I have tried to update it a bit and give the characters/story more depth than what I had when I was younger. Hopefully it all gets pulled together!Complete

His eyes narrow into slits, "Don't you dare-" "What do you call a fish wearing a bowtie?" Instantly, Sawyer frowns, an unimpressed expression on his face. I smile, grabbing his cheeks and squishing them, "Don't make that face!!! C'mon, you gotta ask!! What do you call a fish wearing a bowtie?" He glares at me, "We're not doing this shit, Mari-" "Yes, we are!!" I let go of his face, "You ready?!!" "No." "I'm gonna say it." "You better not-" "SoFISHticated." "You're a dumbass." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *Slow Burn, Lengthy Chapters, Long Story* This Story Takes Place in 2023-2024 Marianne Parker and Sawyer Cortez are complete opposites of each other. Marianne is a dad joke loving, talented musician who believes in finding the good in everything around her. Always smiling, laughing, kind to everyone, and an optimist. With a bubbly attitude and an outgoing personality, she's always looking to make a new friend. An all-around ray of sunshine. Sawyer, on the other hand, is a sarcastic, blunt, rude, and pessimistic bookworm. He doesn't believe there could be good in everything. He doesn't smile, doesn't laugh, and isn't interested in making new friends. Let alone, socializing. Hell, he BARELY tolerates his own friends. The total definition of a raincloud. Marianne's looking for a fresh start, and Sawyer wants a normal year of high school. When he meets Marianne, it becomes all too clear that there's something about her he can't ignore. From the way she walks, talks, laughs, and smiles, it's all distracting and unfamiliar to him. And, of course, he doesn't like that. In his efforts, he tries to ignore the feelings and avoid HER at all costs. But, that can be hard when the girl in question is EQUALLY interested in him too. Started August 2023 - ????
