They say your first love is never really your last.
It's the one that teaches you how much your heart can hold-and how easily it can break. It's the feeling you never expect but somehow always remember. It doesn't come wrapped in perfection. In fact, it's often messy. Loud. Complicated. Full of silent stares across classrooms and text messages that say "goodnight" when you really mean "don't leave."
This is not a love story with a fairytale ending.
This is a story about two teenagers who didn't know how to love yet-but tried anyway. About a girl who had just transferred to a new school, carrying quiet sadness in her eyes. About a boy who joked too much, talked too loud, and hid his softness under layers of laughter and chaos.
It's about the teasing. The almosts. The missed chances. The apologies that came too late. The good days that felt like forever-and the bad ones that felt like drowning.
Most of all, it's about that stage in your life when you love with everything, even when you don't know what love is yet.
This is the story of Adriana and Liam.
Of how they found each other.
How they lost each other.
And how sometimes, loving someone first... doesn't mean loving them forever.

Loving The Outcast Girl
She was the girl they left behind. Forgotten by the people who were supposed to love her most. Mia used to shine. She was top of her class-bright, focused, the girl everyone expected to succeed. Intelligent, dependable, always a step ahead. But when her father died and her mom left with her younger siblings, something in her dimmed. The spark that once made her stand out began to flicker beneath the weight of survival. She was sixteen, alone and broke. When Mia lost everything, her best friends, the very ones who once promised to stand by her no matter what, walked away without looking back. They didn't want to be dragged down with her. Her downfall was inconvenient, and their loyalty was never meant to survive the fall. And the final blow? One of them ended up with the boy Mia had quietly liked for years. She didn't just lose her family. She lost her place in the world. Mia faded into the background-unseen, unchosen, forgotten. Until a new student transferred to Suncrest Academy. Liam Alcaraz was handsome and hot. He was everything she wasn't: wealthy, magnetic, adored. But for reasons Mia couldn't explain, he only had eyes for her. Everyone in school remembered her name. Whispers started. Rumors followed. Jealousy brewed in quiet corners and loud hallways. For the first time in a long while, people looked her way-not with pity, but with curiosity, envy, and something sharper. But Mia didn't shrink. Not this time. Something inside her had shifted. She stood taller, spoke clearer, moved through the world as if it didn't owe her anything-and still, she would claim her place in it. Not for them. Not even for him. But for the girl she used to be-the one she almost forgot. And maybe... for a love she never thought she'd deserve.Complete
Worth the Risk
August & Colin | WRU series | book 1 We take risks. We make mistakes. We lie. We love. We hurt. We lose total control. I took a risk. I paid the price. I made a mistake. I felt the guilt. I lied. I lie. I loved. I try not to. I hurt. I still do. I lost control. I'm losing again. I try to stick to my plan, I try to follow my rules, I try to silence my heart, I try to keep control of the domino stones that represent my life. But one domino fell and the rest just followed. *** "We shouldn't do this," he whispers against my lips. I should applaud him for having the strength to act on that thought because I haven't been able to. At one point I wanted to, but his touches made the impulse to stop vanish. Now, the only thing I want to act on is the longing inside my chest as I think about demolishing the space between us. "Do you want to stop?" I can feel his frown against my forehead. He nudges my nose before placing a featherlight kiss on my mouth. His hands slide over my jawline, his thumbs slowly caressing my cheeks. He gives me another kiss. Slow and deliberately, as if he's still debating the answer to my question as he slicks his tongue over mine. He softly sucks on my bottom lip, dragging it with him when he pulls away. "I can't," he confesses before he presses his lips back on mine. *** All Rights Reserved (Do not copy this story, thank you :))Complete
