Will he be able to make new friends? Or will he be left alone again?
This is a story about the struggles of not fitting into the social norms but also a story about finding people like yourself and how much joy not feeling alone gives someone.

Hidden Roses
Pax is a fifteen year old (rising junior) with no sense of self love and also with a shitty family. He grew up in a world where he hadn't heard a lot of things even existed, like anything in the LGBT spectrum, and he'd grown up in churches that exiled the word "gay". In sixth grade, everything finally clicked. He was transgender. Just because he realized it, though, didn't mean his entire life would become perfect. From the time he was twelve on, he was sick and confused and altogether terrified of what he's become. After he came out to all of friends, most of them ditched him until his only friends were the school's gay power couple and a nonbinary internet friend he'd never even talked to in real life, and only them to help him and figure out everything that needs figuring out. In this coming-out story, I delve basically into what was my young teenage years - so I included quite a lot of things I went through. Some triggers this might include are: -transphobia -homophobia -vague references to self harm -suicidal thoughts & actions -SPOILER: Pax is kicked out at some point; I'd suggest that you don't read it if you're not comfortable with that because that's the climax. 600 reads?? 100 votes???

Aurelia Potente ✓ [Unedited]
Completed ✓✓✓✓ Started: Wednesday 9th February 2022 Completed: Friday 22nd July 2022 Let me introduce you to a different kind of Mafia Book Aurelia Farfalla Potente. Born and raised in the Potente Family, she's not the most people person out there. She's not heartless, If anything, she cares too much. she's not anything a mafia member should be. But there's a reason to why Aurelia is not one of the heirs to her parents mafia, To why she's the hidden daughter of the Potente family, To why she's been hidden away from the Mafia world, The world she lives in, without knowing it even exists The Reasoning? An Autistic, ADHD child could never be a part of a mafia. Never become an heir. she would be seen as a weak spot. An easy target. wouldn't she? --------------------------------------- welcome to my new book. as an autistic/ADHD person myself, I notice a distinct lack of books and films with autistic people in them, and when there is an autistic person featured, it's almost always a straight white man with savant syndrome and they are usually a massively stereotypical version. and I'm not saying that that version is wrong, but not all of us are that stereotyped you see on the television. and then there's the other side they show on the media, the young autistic boys with high sensory needs, who can't talk, or do much for themselves I am not saying that that is wrong. there are real people out there who struggle with that. there are a load of us Autistic people who aren't represented at all by any sort of media so I wanted to write a book just like any other on wattpad. but with a non stereotypical MC #1 Autistic - 15/02/22 #1 lgbtauthor - 16/02/22 #1 autisticwriter - 16/02/22 #1 Writtenwithlove - 16/02/22 #1 Heavythemes - 26/02/22 #1 Specialinterests - 25/03/22 #1 Norwegian - 21/04/22 #2 Youngwriters - 4/08/22 #1 representation - 20/07/23 #1 Norway - 08/08/22 #1 Butterfly - 09/09/22Complete

Olly, Olly
Aria never imagined that she would see Oliver again, it had been many years since she had last seen Ollie. He was her best friends brother, and he was off limits, not that he ever noticed her. They had grown up together, attented the same schools, played playground games after school, and hung out at each other's homes. Suddenly right around middle school Aria started to get shy, and awkward whenever Ollie was present, and it got worse the older they got. She'd steal glimpses of him whenever possible, and yet, never admitted it to anyone, let alone Ollie. Then life happened, and they grew up, and they all went there separate ways. One day, Aria spots Ollie in the distance, and she immediately becomes entranced at the sight of him. Oliver was older now, but she quickly recognized him. She would know, as she had stolen many moments staring, studying his face, and she could definitely spot those eyes anywhere. They are suddenly forced to face each other, and she realizes that she quickly becomes that awkward shy school girl all over again. He is familiar to her, but yet, still different, as he is a soldier who hasn't quite left the battlefield. Standing so close to him, she can't help but try to steal a closer look at him, but she quickly realizes that this time- he is staring back at her, and he isn't even trying to hide it. His eyes are immediately locked on her at the first sight.Complete

Not even a glance
"I walk down the school hallway, "don't make eye contact" I keep repeating in my head. The sweet smell of cologne and perfume fills the halls. I keep walking trying not to get noticed. I see the doors of the school getting closer and closer. I speed up trying to make it in time. I reach out to grab the door handle, and right as I'm about to take my step to freedom, I hear my name being called. And I know exactly who it is. The person who makes my life miserable. The person that makes me want to die more and more each day. The one person who knows my only weaknesses. The school bully." Jessica is a 15 year old at Marino High school. She's a straight A student and she lives a normal life. Or at least she did. It all started when she was 7th grade. Her mom became MIA (missing in action). Her dad became an angry man. He thought the whole reason why Jessica's mom left, was because of Jessica. He beats her every day. And to top it all off, she gets bullied at school. Will her life ever become normal again? Or will it just keep falling apart.Complete
Maybe
An internal voice whispered, "Call him." But I chose not to. I dismissed it once more, saying, "He never liked me anyway." Yet the dilemma lingered. "But maybe he does. The way he looks at you... it's different." Out of nowhere, he glanced my way. My heartbeat quickened, sending shivers down my spine. I averted my gaze, pretending to look around. "Has he noticed me? No, wait-oh my god." --- After switching high schools, Nina discovered a new way of life. She fell in love, made wonderful friends, and everything seemed perfect. But Ethan-a popular boy who never focused on anyone but her-was the object of her hatred. He was always there, always keeping her safe. He used to annoy her endlessly. She hated him deeply. Until she didn't. For a while, she was content with her high school experience. That is, until something mysterious turned her world upside down. Forced to move to a new city, Nina had to cut ties with everyone she once knew. Eight years later, fate brings her face-to-face with him again. "Ethan..." He's the key to everything-the truths she never knew. When she was lost in the dark, he always held the light. But now, things are different. She despises him. He's colder than ever. Or perhaps she fears him. Fears that he'll leave her again. Will their lives ever return to normal after everything they've endured? "Maybe?" "Maybe yes. Maybe no?" --- Started: 8 November 2021 Ended: 19 December 2022 Rewritten: December 2024 --- ### Rankings Goals So Far: #1 Adolescente #1 given up #1 blinddates #1 pretend #10 twistedromance #50 high school romance --- ### Notice: This is my first published story, and it contains numerous grammatical errors and bad editing.
