Three Teenagers. One assignment. A truth none of them were ready to face. 


In the heart of Riverpoint - a housing project where silence keeps you safe and secrets keep you alive - three high school seniors are thrown together for a classroom project called The Truth Assignment. The goal: uncover what connects them. The result: everything unravels.

Mateo Cruz is the oldest son of undocumented immigrants, balancing school, work, and the weight of keeping his family together if ICE knocks at their door. Riley Porter, a military kid newly dumped into Riverpoint, wants nothing to do with anyone - until she falls for the one boy she was never supposed to love. And Jay Harris, loud, wild, and broken, hides bruises with jokes and plans his escape before the neighborhood swallows him whole.

A raw, unflinching story about love, identity, and what it costs to speak the truth - especially when the world wants you to stay quiet.All Rights Reserved

Don't Fall Not Yet by ScarlettMoon25

Moving from Mexico to the wealthy, perfect suburbs of New York, María Hernandez's plan was simple: finish high school, keep her head down, and blend into the background. That plan lasted until she met Marcus Whitmore. Marcus is the town's golden boy-the star quarterback, popular, and untouchable. But the easy smile is a lie. His eyes hold a constant, dangerous storm, his home is full of secrets, and he has sworn off feeling anything real for anyone. The moment their worlds collide, they don't just fall; they break open. María is the calm he never knew he needed, and he's the dangerous chaos she should have run from the second she saw him. This is Don't Fall, Not Yet. Told in dual POV, this story is about the fight for identity, the ugly price of loyalty, and the devastating violence of secrets. It's about the impossible choice between protecting the people you love... and destroying them completely. Mature Audience Warning: 18+ Although María and Marcus's journey begins in high school, it will follow them into adulthood. Expect explicit content, strong language, messy emotions, and raw moments that don't shy away from the real challenges of growing up. I'm doing my best to reflect the richness and challenges of both Mexican and Anglo-American Elite experiences with honesty and care. If I ever miss the mark, please (gently) let me know-I'm always open to learning and doing better. Please read, share, vote, follow, and leave a comment. I'd love to hear your thoughts as you join María and Marcus on this unforgettable journey. © Scarlett Moon, 2025 This is a work of fiction. All rights reserved.

✨ FOUND ✨ by ann_reigns

Stephanie Rivers has always been invisible. At school, she is the quiet girl in the corner-the one no one notices, no one sits with, no one truly knows. She has learned to live in her silence, hiding behind books and empty hallways, convinced that belonging is for everyone else but her. Then there's Tavion Cole. Steady, confident, the kind of boy everyone seems to know. He's not the loudest in the room, but he's always seen. And for reasons Stephanie can't explain, he starts to notice her-the girl who has spent years trying not to exist. A casual "hey." A seat taken at her lonely table. Small ripples that begin to change everything. But the closer Tavion gets, the more Stephanie's walls begin to crack. And with attention comes whispers, with friendship comes vulnerability, and with love comes the terrifying possibility of being hurt. In a world where she's always been overlooked, Stephanie must decide: can she trust someone enough to finally be seen, or will she let fear keep her invisible forever?
