When Logan Kim moves from Manhattan to the streets of L.A., he expects a quiet reset. Instead, he's caught between two worlds-one built on friendship, honesty, and healing... and another defined by survival, secrets, and scars.

At school, he finds a crew of outsiders who welcome him with open arms and open wounds. And then there's Valentina-sharp, magnetic, and wrapped in more walls than he knows how to climb. She says he doesn't belong. But she keeps showing up anyway.

Through journal entries, shifting friendships, and moments that hurt as much as they heal, Logan begins to uncover what it means to speak for yourself-even when the world wants you silent.

A coming-of-age story for fans of The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Freedom Writers, and anyone who's ever felt like they didn't fit in-but tried anyway.All Rights Reserved

Focus - Logicality by warrior_grape

It's hard enough being the new gay junior at a hole-in-the-wall homophobic high school, and Logan doesn't need such illogical things as love, friendship, or even feelings to muck up the one thing he has left: his meticulously-crafted master plan for the future, set to lead him without a hitch to the carefully-crafted dream he has had for himself since early childhood. But after a tangle with fate leaves Logan breathless, he seems to be stuck with the breathtaking Patton Foster-a boy so gentle, selfless, charismatic and endearingly childish that he seems to be akin to a golden retriever puppy: stubbornly persistent, ridiculously energetic, breathtakingly adorable, fiercely loyal, and worst of all, virtually impossible to shut out once a bond is formed. Logan learns quickly that both Patton and the universe may have spectacular plans for him-and he doesn't approve of any of them. ~*~ Hi! This is a Logicality high school AU with some Prinxiety. See first chapter for trigger warnings and a quick but relatively important a/n before reading. Liberal amounts of fluff and angst, but I don't do heartbreaking endings, so if you're into that, then I'm sorry, but it is angsty. I can guarantee you that.

Infinitely Bounded by Simpseriiii

Just a few teens who struggle to find their place in the world. A girl who lost her brother. A boy who lost a friend and an aunt. Just two teens who push through the pain in the world to break from their shell. Every story has an ending, but this one shall be infinite. I do not own 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower'. I only own my character's. Everything else belongs to Stephen Chbosky! ⚠️ This story may contain some sensitive subjects such as: Mention of Suicide, alcohol and drug use, SA, and many others. Please don't read if these subjects trigger you. ⚠️ I hope you enjoy reading as much as I enjoyed writing it! Cover made by: ady1an on Pinterest!
