Short Story RomCom:

Brianna Davis is not the girl who sings in front of crowds. She's not the girl who flirts in hallways, or catches football players' eyes at lunch, or falls in love at first glance... but apparently, she is the girl who keeps locking eyes with the quiet, ridiculously cute new guy on the basketball team.

Bryan Kirk doesn't talk to anyone outside his teammates, but for some reason? He always sees her. On the field. In the hallway. From across the cafeteria. And every time, it feels like they're in a staring contest that Brianna is definitely losing.

Now, between softball season chaos, group chats full of unhinged best friends, and surprise talent show performances that threaten to expose Brianna's biggest secret, she's starting to realize: 

Some things you can't plan. 
Some boys you can't ignore.
And some glances? Mean everything.All Rights Reserved

Save Me by imani148dr

Erika Kingsley fits the stereotype: blonde hair, blue eyes, rich dad. In definition: the spoiled blonde brat. But she isn't. The real her wants to be accepted, but can she in a very judgemental, ignorant world? Her family is portrayed as perfect in the media, but behind the camera, Erika is a completely different story. She's grown up in the facade of perfection and happiness. She may seem happy, but she yearns for something to save her from the battle she has with herself in her own mind. Lucas Perry fits the other stereotype: invisible, loner, smart, middle-class. In definition: the dejected loser of the social ladder. However, there is more to this new kid and why he puts on a 'I'm smarter than all of you' façade. As they say, a lack of confidence and happiness can manifest itself into arrogance and some serious irritation. As the stereotype goes, two worlds collide. But soon after, they find the other to be the same. Two people who need someone; someone to pull them away from the inner demons that hold them hostage. They both needed to be saved from their most challenging force: themselves. *TRIGGER WARNING:READ AT YOUR OWN RISK* This book contains serious topics such as anxiety, panic attacks, disability, addictive substances, depression, mental illness, self-harm, and suicide.

Maybe Too Protective by _MidnightSparks

We reached the hospital and Ryder, still being gentle, jumped out of the car. Zach opened the doors for him and they rushed inside the emergency room. "We need a little help." Max asked the nurse at the table. SHe seemed a little bit annoyed. "Sir this is the trauma center. If you have an emergency that can wait...Oh my gosh." She spoke once she looked at me. "Dr!" She looked at a blonde woman walking by. "Yes?" The woman walked over with a smile on her face. The nurse pointed at me. "Over here." She lead the guys to a hospital bed that they laid me down. "If it means anything, she has panic attacks." Ryder explained. "Page Shepard." She told someone. "What's her name?" "Lucy." Ryder told them. Then, light people around me became blurs, than darkness. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Maybe you had some high school bullies, but I hope they weren't like Lucy Smith's bullies.
