I'm Izzie - Izadora, actually - but just Izzie. I'm 15 and in the 10th grade. In high school, everyone struggles to fit in. But where I'm from, girls will do anything to be an athlete's side piece, while his girlfriend has no clue. You don't sit at the wrong table or associate with the wrong crowd, or you'll get mistakenly claimed as one of them.

At school, it's easy to spot the fakes, but it's harder at home. My parents' divorce taught me that. Smiling faces can still lie to you, and people you trust can walk away like it's nothing. That's why I watch people closely now, especially Ginger. She's my best friend, but sometimes she has this way of knowing things she shouldn't and showing up where she doesn't belong. It's like she's always one step ahead, and not always in a good way.

Kissing by the lockers and exaggerated Valentine's Day gifts have never been my thing, but Ginger's experienced it all. She knows how to work people - boys, teachers, even me sometimes. I used to think she had it all, but now I'm starting to wonder if she just knows how to make it look that way.All Rights Reserved

The Seven Deadly Sins (girlxgirl) by Spencer_Lorenzi

"Sometimes the hardest thing in life is accepting that no matter what you do, you can't plan for everything to end accordantly. Sometimes, it's the mere fact of trying that causes things to unfold in the most unexpected ways. And sometimes, allowing one small change in your daily life can cause the biggest ripple effect. For me, the change in my daily routine came in form of a girl with purple eyes and black wings. Our first encounter, whether an answer to one of my many forgotten prayer, alternate my view of reality. Unbeknownst to me, Alexandra McCartney was a walking sin waiting to be forgiven, and I was the answer to her silent prayers." Fixtured with routines and habits, Skylar Charms has only even known one thing; nothing is permanent and everything is subject to change. It was a lesson she learned early on in life and because of it, she was contempt with finding familiarity in the inconsequential routines she established. For Skylar, she was okay with being simple because with simplicity comes a sense of innocence, something she couldn't find anywhere else in her new home town. What was meant to be a routine school year for Skylar toppled when she met Alexandra McCartney, who unlike her, found familiarity in the chaos of things. All it took, however, was one insignificant answer for a saint to meet a forgivable sinner. (Cover model - Candice Swanepoel) Update: Currently being edited with small detail changes and added information. All chapters until "Abnormal" have been improved upon.

One night was all it took: Story one by brandon61386

Lacey Martin has built her life around the familiarity of the local bar she manages...a home for her. Independent, headstrong, and content, she keeps her heart tucked away, aside from a few one-night stands. She stays around her close-knit crew, a family of regulars and friends. Her normal routine, however, is shattered by one night that changes everything. When an old friend returns to town, Derek, with a group of friends, everything shifts dramatically in Lacey's world. Among his friends is Natalia, Derek's ex and a woman who will date men or women but finds herself drawn to Lacey. In one evening, both women are caught in an unexpected and powerful connection. This sparks an emotional and intense sensual escapade that forces Lacey to confront her feelings she didn't know existed. As the aftershocks of the intimate encounter ripple into the following days, Lacey finds herself torn between her known life and the magnetic allure of a new, uncharted love. The intense bond with Natalia challenges everything Lacey once believed about herself, including her stance on relationships and her guarded view on love, forcing her to check boxes she's never known. For Natalia, the collision of her past, connected to the fame, fortune, and work she's put in, it's time for her to confront future possibilities. As old wounds and unresolved histories stir within their friend groups, loyalties are tested, and the support network of the bar becomes both a sanctuary and a mirror reflecting the complexities of love, desire, and self-acceptance. "One Night Was All It Took" isn't just romance...it's an exploration of identity, the courage to defy preconceived limits, and that life can change in an instant. Witness the transformative power of one chance meeting that upends expectations and challenges the heart to live more fully and fearlessly. Every moment builds toward a future where love is less about definition, and instead of what we desire. And this is just book one. There are seven.

Different Universes (Complete ✔️) by HolyTri

★"What are you up to tomorrow?" He asked. "Tomorrow's winter holiday, so nothing?" "Then be ready tomorrow at early morning, I'll have you from morning till bedtime and maybe till winter holiday is over if your mom doesn't bug us." He said parking the car and we started walking to school. "Really? Hard to believe!" "What is?" "Well, a boy who wears a rolex watch," I said pointing at his right hand. "Who has a big mansion and goes to a different country every spring holiday and has a summer house and is so hot that every girl's dream is to be asked out by him, would rather spend the holiday with me than do anything else in the entire world! What would people say?" I asked looking down at my shoes. Pete said nothing for about half the way. "They fell in love." He said and I looked up at him, he's smiling, I stopped walking and he did too staring right into my eyes, he took a strand of hair and placed it behind my ear. "They'll start asking how, but they'll realize it's not impossible, that love has no conditions, that no wealth matters as long as I'm with you, no rolex watch can replace you, nothing matters but you." ...★ *** Rich hot badboy and the good daughter of an ex actress, not a chance together right? Watch out, because they're challenging the universe by giving it a try, would it work out or does the universe have another plan for them? P.S. I love this story and I hope you do too :)

Running from the gang by lovely-scorpio

Circumstances change, events occur, and life as we know it is altered forever.

But that all changed one night, as I was walking home at night. I witnessed a man murder someone he claimed was a snitch, something to do with a gang deal gone wrong.

In Love With Blindfolds On by cjacks1124

I gave the best of myself to someone who didn't have anything to lose. I didn't know how to avoid my lover's toxic and abusive flames. My lover's twisted words were like a maze inside of my head that I couldn't escape. Sadly, my lover's actions hypnotized my thoughts and paralyzed my thinking. I learned the hard way that love isn't leaning in for a kiss, and a fist meets you halfway. Love isn't being a punching bag because someone decided they wanted to beat on you today. Love isn't saying I love you just because someone wants to keep you to themselves. I tried to be there for my lover, but I learned it is impossible to fix the broken pieces when the glass has shattered. There will always be pieces that are not repairable. However, I kept going right back to the person who I needed to walk away from. I was afraid, and I wasn't brave enough to wake up from this nightmare! I made the choice to suffer when life is meant to be lived and enjoyed. Will I find the courage to know my worth and know that I deserve better than the distasteful lies that are whispered in my ears? Will I have the strength to fight my insecurities? Will, I set myself free, or will I let my love be the death of me?
