I'm Carmen and I am 15 years old.Â
I have no friends, and I don't plan to.Â
I don't want friends because it draws me closer to the big secret I've been hiding since I was 12.Â
I'm usually picked on and I always keep to myself.Â
But when one day, a unknown boy, appears at the front of the classroom of science and Mrs. Becker introduces him.Â
"I'm Cameron" he says.Â
"Sit next to Carmen over there" she says.Â
I hung my head and then lifted it to drown myself in useless knowledge they teach here at King High School.Â
I feel a nudge and ignore it.Â
"Carmen.."
Who said that?Â
Who would know my name?
I whip my head to the sound of the voice and I see Cameron smiling at me.Â
I frown and look away.Â
Cameron has dark brown windswept hair. He has blue eyes and clear skin.Â
"Psst! Carmen.."
I rolled my eyes to myself and kept ignoring him.Â
I wasn't letting him talk to me.Â
Talking would lead to conversations, which would lead to friendship, which would lead to either a relationship or my secret slipping.Â
My secret can't be told.Â
Not to anyone.Â
Ever.Â

Charlie
Theres a reason why I go by my middle name Charlianna aka Charlie than my original..terrifying first name. I am the wrong girl with the wrong personality to be named Christie, soooo I forced people to call me Charlie instead. Now that we got that out of the way, I personally believe I'm a mature young adult with the same goal that any other senior in high school would have. Leaving. I have a goal to leave the pit that is known as.... Red Heights High School, but the only way I can do that is to be accepted into Georgetown University. My life was going right on track until Nathan Logans, someone in school who is somewhat well known (not really) because he can play soccer (big whoop), began to ruin my life. As well as befriending his best friend and his probable ex aka stepsister (yeah, just let that sink in), befoore learning some...interesting news that will literally ruin my life. You could think this will lead to a good happy ending, well...hell I wish that too.Complete

Hearts In The Shadows (Completed)
Unable to resist any longer, I closed the distance, pressing my lips gently against his. Our pace was slow at first, but then he lost control, and his kiss became rougher, more urgent. He pulled me onto his lap, straddling him. "Has anyone touched you here before?" Blake broke the kiss, his voice impossibly low as he lightly brushed his thumb across my hardened nipple. Ripples of pleasure coursed through me, and my groin began to throb, my underwear soaked with desire. My breath hitched from his touch, and I shook my head. He let out a light growl and pinched my nipple harder. "Has anyone touched these before?" he repeated. I whimpered, "No... no one but you." Blake let out a deep growl and kissed me roughly again. I was consumed by him. I tore my lips from his to suck in a much-needed breath. I could feel his arousal straining against my leg, his breathing heavy. _______________________________________________________ My name is Elara Whittingham.

Baby, Don't Cry
I'm Mariana Torres, and I'm 15 years old. Not that it matters anyway. Most people wouldn't even take the time to hear my name, I guess I'm just not important. Well, that's what my mom says anyway. I wouldn't call my life the best. If you count being abused daily at home and at school the best, then maybe it is. I'm always bullied at school, even though I don't physically or mentally hurt anyone, they just love to mess with me. Some kids say I'm better off dead, and sometimes, I believe it. I guess you'll hear more about later, that is if you care enough. I could always use someone to listen, better yet... a friend. *Trigger Warning*Complete
I hate that I love you
"What do you want?" I snap, slamming my locker shut. His casual smirk, messy dark hair, tan skin, strong arms, eerie storm-grey eyes... the list could go on of things I notice- that I shouldn't notice- about him. "Oh, I want a lot of things." He inspects a speck of dirt on his arm. "I'm sure you've heard the news?" His eyes flicker back up to meet mine. Does he know? No. He can't. So I roll my eyes. He can't know that I know, that I would do anything to be the first one he tells. "You'll have to be more specific." I mutter, trying to look casual as I inspect my nails. "Well, it involves a certain title of the swim team," He offers. I shrug. "So you got captain. That's cool. And what do I have to do with that?" He narrows his eyes, trying to read my expression. Unfortunately for him, I have mastered the art of hiding my emotions. "This is what I wanted to talk to you about. During English," He fiddles with his sweater sleeve. "I recall you trying to talk to me," I frown. "Well, I..." He swallows, seeming... nervous? "I'm not doing too great... subject wise. And if I don't pick up my ass soon, I might be forced to quit." He rubbed the back of his neck, making his shirtsleeve slide up his arm to reveal a strong bicep. Not that I notice. I narrow my eyes. "And what do I get back in return?" I cross my arms. I'm going to be late for the bus if we don't hurry. He studies my face. "Name your price." He mirrored my position. I sigh. Money... but I don't need it. Popularity... but I don't want it. I meet his gaze steadily. He lifts his chin, the tiniest bit, but it doesn't intimidate me. I square my shoulders and stand up straight. He's only just taller than me. "Stop pretending to be perfect." All rights reserved. Cover art by me :) but will probably be redone soon

If Only You Knew
"Why can't you just tell me what's wrong" he whispered, getting quieter than before and cupped my face in his hands. With every passing day we grow closer and closer. I feel like I'm leading him on but how could I just tell him? It's not that simple to just share my secret. I can't. Not to him, not to anyone. ** Bianca, the quietest girl in the class yet probably the nicest. The most afraid yet the most brave. The girl that is continuously served with things, that she could never in a million years deserve. Cameron, in her eyes, he's the most amazing guy ever. Cute smile, a freckled face and dimples, he had everything that she'd want in a guy. Of course that's just because it was he who had those qualities in the first place. He's been her only crush for quite some time, but he hasn't ever shown the slightest interest in her until now. When she was being continuously punched on the ground, he'd just stood there with his so-called girlfriend; laughing, because he had a 'reputation to uphold'. It didn't matter though, because she loved it when he laughed. Now they are chosen to work on a project together, in the process he learns more about her and becomes somewhat attracted to her. Could the last person on this earth you'd ever expect to, ironically fall deeply in love with Bianca? What's going to happen if he finds out about her big secret? And his supposed girlfriend?
