My Summer of Firsts by jms777

Summers in Arizona can be brutal. So can finding love in a small town when you aren't straight. At twenty-years-old, Steven has just about given up on the prospect. Instead, he saves his money, dreaming of the day when he can ditch his small town life for something more exciting. Preferably somewhere with guys who would actually be interested in dating him. But everything changes when a handsome new guy arrives in town and starts flirting with Steven. Being woefully inexperienced, Steven is excited-and equally nervous-by the opportunity to finally check some firsts off his list. Perhaps the one first he wasn't counting on will end up being the best of all.

No More Wasting Time by Creative_Writer407

Diego Santiago was not your average teenager. He had a loving mother, a great best friend, a beautiful friend, an ex-boyfriend that gave him a traumatic experience, a soon-to-be stepbrother that helped along in that traumatic experience, a friend turned enemy, and finally, a messy slight crush. It's a handful. He was no longer a nobody but somebody with a bad name and a target on his head. He messed with the school's king, and he needed to face the consequences, or so they say and believe. Despite all these things that are making his life one big roller coaster, he still wants one thing in life, for his mother and friends to be happy. Caden Mitchell had a hectic life of his own as well. He was the enemy at first and is trying his best to become a true brother and a true lover. He knew he needed to change, but his old habits keep crawling back. He needed to learn and grow as a person, and for the sake of his mental health, he needed to change fast. Caden was on a mission, a mission to get back his soon-to-be stepbrother and his lover that meant more to him than he could express in words. He was growing desperate and was ready to do just about anything. Even if that meant leaving behind Victor, who he once saw was the closest thing to a brother he'd ever get.

His World. by euphoricfeels

Growing up, Julian Rivera always knew he was different. Instead of wanting toy cars, he wanted Barbie dolls. Instead of liking girls, he liked boys. And now a teenager in highschool, instead of wanting to wear male attire, he'd rather wear crop tops and booty shorts. Most of his childhood he has been bullied and made fun of because of the way he is but either way, he ignores the hate and continues doing whatever he wants. Sophomore year had just arrived and Julian couldn't be any less excited to go back to the constant tormenting and hazing. Although having his close brother, Jamie and his best friend, Jaliea at his side, high school's still a tough place. Constantly getting played by boys, Julian's over even trying for love until one certain boy named Andre Santos catches his eye. Being the most hated in school and Andre being on the football, track, and basketball team and at that, also being a Junior, it seems nothing but a far fetched dream but when Andre starts showing slight interest back, Julian is confused if he's being genuine or not. With down low ex boyfriends, envious sibling girlfriends, and other new conflicts constantly popping up in Julian's world, how will he ever make it through? Especially when his deepest secret of all is spread rumor across the school and he's faced with the choice to chose between 3 different boys.
