A story set in the 1980s, following the life of a teen. Maxim had a rough life and was then welcomed by the warmth of aunt Jenna's arms, his mother's single sister, who took custody over him in court. He was knows for being a closed off and really quiet kid, which peaked Mandy's interest into making fun of him, one of them especially, has been quite dedicated for years.
He'll learn to open up and let himself be vulnerable, to let himself experience what it feels like to be deeply loved, even if it wasn't from someone he had expected...which will make it harder to crack open.

What sounds like a teenage sap drama, his story is actually written to inspire and comfort the others alike, and maybe it could open someone's eyes.

A Teenage Dream by roohkealfaaz
22 parts Ongoing
PROGLOG Hyda never believed in soft love. Loud, messy, dramatic - that was her way of feeling everything. She's the troublemaker with a sharp tongue, a loyal heart, and a habit of crashing into things - bikes, friendships, people, and sometimes, her own reflection. Kabir is the kind of boy who watches more than he speaks. Head boy. Topper. Good on paper, hard to read in person. He doesn't chase noise. But when Hyda stumbles into his orbit - all fire, sarcasm, and bruised tenderness - something inside him shifts. They aren't meant to fit. But the silence between them? It starts to sound a lot like home. In a school full of secrets, pressure, and whispered reputations, Hyda and Kabir navigate glances that last too long, feelings they won't name, and a connection too intense to ignore. As friendships break, families interfere, and futures loom close, they'll have to decide what kind of love they believe in - the kind that stays hidden, or the kind that changes everything

On the Fritz by dianastratton
37 parts Complete
Fritz Reiter used to be so good at being obnoxious. Throughout the first few years of high school, Fritz got famous for two things - being hot, and always being a few steps ahead of Rafael Peretz. Why? Because Rafael is annoying, he has no friends, and he's gay. If Rafael isn't good at anything else - and he isn't - then at least he's good at getting bullied. But as they get older, Fritz develops some mysteriously affectionate feelings for Rafael, and Rafael becomes desperate for someone to hook up with. Just like that, the perfect storm is set in motion. But, while Fritz is determined to have a perfectly normal relationship with his new lover, Rafael is fighting hard to keep them a secret. And, if the two boys are stuck in a viciously emotional tug of war, there's only one way to find a winner. Somebody's going down. On the Fritz is an angsty, slow burn story, with a lot of internalized homophobia, bad flirting, and overall feral behavior. While the first part of the story is told from Rafael's perspective, the second half is Fritz's to tell. 16+ warning for some under 18 drinking/drug use scenes, and sexual references. Full story (about 70,000 words) is complete, so sit back and enjoy the ride! Votes and comments are really appreciated.

PERFECT LIFE. PERFECT BOYFRIEND. All it took was his best friend transferring back to turn her world upside down. Maya has everything she's ever wanted-a devoted boyfriend, a steady future, a love story that's supposed to last. Liam is safe, familiar, right. Then Nathan shows up. Liam's best friend. Cold, sharp, impossible to ignore. From the start, he gets under her skin, challenging her, frustrating her-tempting her in ways she refuses to acknowledge. She hates him. He doesn't like her either. At least, that's what they keep telling themselves. But tension has a way of unraveling, and some lines-once crossed-can never be undone. "We shouldn't," he breathes against my lips. But he doesn't move away. "I don't care," I whisper back... 🔥 Mature Content | Slow-Burn | Enemies to Forbidden Lovers 🔥
