Sarah has lived most of her life feeling invisible-like a shadow moving through the lives of those around her. To the world, she's just an average girl with average looks and a quiet presence, someone who blends into the background without making waves. Even her closest friends and family treat her as an afterthought, the one who can always be overlooked. Sarah's voice is drowned out by louder, brighter people, and her desires remain locked away behind a mask of normalcy.
              	
But beneath that mask lies a deep yearning: to be seen for who she truly is, to matter just once, and to be relied on. As the years pass, the ache to break free from invisibility grows stronger. Then, in a moment fueled by frustration and hope, Sarah decides to step out of the shadows and demand the recognition she's long been denied.
 
What follows is a journey of self-discovery, confrontation, and fragile courage. Yet, being seen isn't always what it seems - it comes with challenges and consequences Sarah never expected. As her world shifts and the lines between acceptance and isolation blur, she must face the question: is the price of being noticed worth paying? And what does it really mean to be seen?All Rights Reserved

The Girl Behind The Mask ✔ by Midnight_Love

I have always been the invisible one. No one knows I am there. I try to fit in with everyone, but the students end up ignoring me. When I speak, no words escape my mouth. I have always known that there was another part of me, that wants to shine, but is too scared to show her face. It is as if we have been hiding behind the same mask and no one sees us. We put on a different mask to try to be like everyone else, but we're really covering up our true personality. As if I am a nerd, that everyone can just walk all over. However, I am not that type of person. It is as if, the only way you would be able to get attention, is if you become a "bad boy," or you wear clothes that show too much skin. I am not like that; I do not know how to act "bad". I have always been a good girl and I do not know how to dress like that. I mean I do have some type of fashion sense. When I say I'm a good girl I mean that I am one of those good girls who gets what she want most of the time, but doesn't talk to her parents about her social life, or when she gets a new boyfriend. I keep to myself and they keep to themselves. I mean they still talk to me when they think I need something, and they respect my privacy. I just do not know what to do with my life anymore. I have hidden and gotten ignored, from the world a little too long. I bet if I just disappeared right now, that no one would even know I am gone, let alone miss me. This life of invisibility has to stop. * * * * * * Living a life of invisibility isn't always a good thing. Everyone needs a little attention every now-and-then. So why can't Khalia Bright get a break from her schoolmates? She does everything right, doesn't she? Well, she'll soon find the answers to her problem when a very handsome young man steps into the picture. Will she be able to uncover her true self, or continue to hide behind the mask?

INSIDE AND OUT by forevereliana023

They say a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. But what if that step is taken in the dark, guided only by the fragile, flickering light of your own fear? This is not just a story of a journey; it is the map of a soul. Inside and Out is a piercingly intimate exploration of a life built-and almost broken-by its own walls. It begins in the quiet turmoil of self-doubt, where the reflection in the mirror is a stranger and the concept of beauty feels like a weapon. Here, in the shadows of uncertainty, a spark of determination is born-not a roar, but a whisper, a stubborn refusal to be defined by the cracks within. This is a story of peeling back the layers. It's about the terrifying, exhilarating work of growth, of looking your deepest fears in the eye and choosing to move forward anyway. It's about clawing your way toward self-respect, not as a destination, but as a daily practice of choosing yourself, piece by broken piece. And then, just when you think the path is one you must walk alone, another soul intersects yours. This is where the narrative deepens, transforming into a profound meditation on true love. But this is not a fairy tale. This love is a mirror, reflecting back not only your light but also every unhealed scar. It is a love that demands courage, that asks the most terrifying question of all: Can I be truly seen, inside and out, and still be chosen? Inside and Out is a breath held before a confession, the ache of a healing wound, the fierce, quiet triumph of a spirit refusing to be subdued. It is for anyone who has ever fought to find the beauty in their own chaos and dared to believe that the most important jo journey we ever take is the one that leads us back to ourselves-and, in doing so, opens us to a love that is as relentless as it is real. Prepare to feel the story unfold within you. Your journey begins here.

Not Sick But Not Well. by La_marquise732

This day wasn't an exception. I cried over and over until I could no longer, I wiped my tears and took the packages in my arms after opening the door. In the house, nothing new. They were still talking, so I had time to drop off the packages, and without even opening one, I headed to the showers, cleaned my face with water, and went to my room. This is roughly how my days as a child went. I know that it cannot be described as an ideal childhood, but it would certainly be the most beautiful period of my life. Despite family conflicts, school conflicts, loneliness, and fear, I was happy. I was happy because they were all there, happy because they always remained, despite my faults, and happy. After all, I knew that I had not yet experienced the worst. Happy because I knew, that sooner or later everything would end. So yes, I was as cowardly and useless as they all claimed and even more naive than they would have believed, but this vision that I had at that age kept me going. Although the truth was hard to accept, I was given no choice. So I accepted life as it came; I accepted myself and my truth, my weaknesses, and the fact that I had to get used to the idea that I would always be the first actor to die in films.

Nobody's girl by lovlylair46_2287

Iris is seventeen. She's quiet, she's tired, and she's used to being invisible. At school, the bullying never stops. At home, her mother barely notices she exists-unless it's to criticize her. There's no one to lean on, no safe place to land. And the pain she carries? It's not just in her mind. It's carved into her skin, buried under skipped meals, and hidden behind fake smiles. Every day, Iris wonders how much longer she can keep going. Then he shows up. Loud. Reckless. The kind of boy who doesn't care what anyone thinks. He's everything she isn't until, somehow, he notices her. Really sees her. But when your whole world has taught you you're nothing, what do you do with someone who suddenly wants to know everything?

Just Grey: In a Black & White World by itskateelizabeth

"But just look at the world around you, Love. There's messes everywhere with unclear answers. Don't give up yet." She told me gently. "I know, but I just wish that this was less confusing." "Well, things are gonna get confusing after a while, but you can't just stop trying. You've got to search harder for the answer; maybe it's somewhere you haven't looked yet. Someday you'll trip over a rock that's harder than this, and bandaids won't just stare you in the face. You won't know what to do. So prepare yourself for that day, baby." "I'm gonna trip over a rock?" I asked, eyes widening with worry. She shook her head, the bubbly symphony of her laughs echoing in the room. "No. I mean you're going to be in trouble one day and you won't know how to get out of it. Like this, but tougher." "You mean I'll have to go through this again? But even harder? Ugh, I won't make it." I sighed heavily. "No. I know you will. It just won't be so black and white. It'll be....in between the two." "So it'll be just grey?" She revealed her big, beautiful smile to me as if I had understood all that is right and wrong in the world. Kissing the top of my head, she whispered, "Exactly." {full synopsis inside} Rankings- #16 in juveniles #94 in newkid #241 in multimedia FULLY EDITED VERSION NOW AVAILABLE ON AMAZON KINDLE!!

The Shadow of Comparison by AGR2808

"Growing up in someone else's shadow taught me one thing: finding myself was the hardest-and most beautiful-journey of all." School was supposed to be easy-a place to learn, laugh, and grow. But for her, it quickly became anything but simple. 🌿 Everyone around her seemed brighter, bolder, better. Every whispered compliment, every small success she didn't have, made her question herself. Slowly, the shadow of comparison began to follow her everywhere. Then college arrived-bigger, more dazzling, and full of surprises she never saw coming. Friendships that challenged her, choices that tested her, and moments that made her heart ache in ways she didn't expect. Could she navigate this new world without losing herself? From quiet school corridors to late-night reflections, from self-doubt to self-discovery, this story is about growing up, facing unexpected twists, and finding the courage to step out of the shadows. If you loved "The Goodbye We Never Said," you'll recognize the familiar struggles and heartfelt moments-and maybe even find yourself rooting for her as she learns to shine in her own light.

Childhood Sweethearts by LaurenJ22

#1 Teen Fiction | #1 Young Adult | #1 Romance "We all need someone to drive us mad." - The Wombats. He stared arrogantly down at me, a smirk plastered across his face. I sneered up at him with distaste, wanting to wrap my fingers around his neck and strangle that smirk off of him. He brushed my golden hair from my face, his long, slender fingers sparking electricity in my skin, making my knees wobble together. "Will you ever, forgive me?" he whispered huskily, his eyes intently staring into mine. His face was only mere inches from me. I just needed to reach out a little further to kiss him... "Yeah. Over my dead body." I snapped, before throwing my arms out forcefully, shoving my hands into his chest, pushing him from me. -*-*-*- He, is Carter Williams. I, am Lacey Adams. We were once, inseparable. The 'Golden Couple'. The unbreakable best friends, that everybody envied. Nothing could get between us. A part from being tighter than white on rice, we updated our status from friends to being in a relationship, frequently. We were neighbours, which meant our families were all close and even co-owned houses around our town. This, all is, until the day of my sixteenth birthday. Everything changed. The loving relationship we shared, was severed and torn apart. I couldn't hardly stand to look at him any more, without spitting fire that is. Every day is torture being around him. He was in all my classes at school and the window in my room was even directly aligned with his. So, what happens? My mother's mum gets sick, so dad and her fly out. Just them. Leaving me to stay with Carter and his parents, who are never home. We would be alone. In one house. Under the same roof. If I was insane before, I have no idea what I am now. © 2016 by LaurenJ22.
