Eli Vargas has everything; speed, charm, and a one way ticket out of his small town on a track scholarship. But behind the spotlight, he's hiding a truth that could cost him everything. Micah Lane is the quiet new kid, fresh out of homeschooling and just trying to survive public school without drawing attention. When Eli is forced to help Micah pass gym class, neither of them expect the slow, awkward friendship that forms or how it starts to feel like more. As feelings grow and secrets threaten to surface, they'll have to decide what matters most: who the world wants them to be, or who they really are together.

Decisions
The hero, Takuro, is supposed to stop the villain, Akuto. But every encounter between them feels less like a mission and more like a game - one they both secretly want to win against each other. The more they clash, the more Takuro begins to question everything: the fight, the cause... and himself. What happens when a hero starts to feel something for the very chaos he's meant to destroy? Is it still worth it - fighting alongside heroes he barely trusts, under orders from a headquarters he's starting to doubt?
Growing Pains
In the day-to-day trenches of high school, it is almost the default-setting to believe we are the main character of our own coming-of-age story. This is not wrong. It's just ours isn't the only story there is. The jocks, the nerds, the cheerleaders, the losers, the stoners, the fangirls, the skaters. Everyone's the realest most important person in existence, all of them, at the same time, first-person narrators to their own stories, stumbling into each other's plot lines, defying the status-quo, catalysts to ups and downs. A deconstruction of all the high school tropes and cliches written over the years, a deep-dive into the psyche of students trying to finish high school while going through irrevocable self-discovery, the most improbable of connections, and the insufferable pains of growing up.Complete
THE LILIES YOU TORE
Fifteen. That was how old I was when I noticed Malik Hayden Jafar. Sixteen. That was how old I was when I fell inlove with him. They say loyalty comes before love. But what happens when love burns hotter than loyalty? ** Saffy never thought high school would feel this heavy between late-night secrets, best friends who mean too much, and enemies who look at her like they see right through her soul. Ty has always been her safe place, the boy who held her hand through laughter and grief. But Malik, with his dangerous edge and unreadable eyes, lingers like a storm she can't escape. When whispers in the hallway spark fights, when friendship blurs into something more, and when promises hang on fragile Fridays, Saffy is forced to face a truth she isn't ready for: love can heal, love can break, and sometimes the lines between the two are paper-thin. How do you hold on to the people you love most... when letting go might be the only way to survive? *** NB: Not your regular teen romance *** PS: Darker, spicier and best served with a cup of latte and a box of tissue

β Saturday Hearts
Ι΄α΄α΄‘ α΄Κα΄α΄α΄α΄Κκ± α΄α΄ α΄ΚΚα΄ α΄Κ It was just another Saturday detention at Shermer High School-until he walked in. Aiden Walker is the new kid with a quiet charm, sharp eyes, and secrets stitched behind every calm breath. Assigned detention for standing up to a teacher, Aiden never expected to find something-or someone-worth the trouble. Enter John Bender, the bad boy with a smart mouth, a tragic past, and a chip on his shoulder big enough to block the sun. When their worlds collide in that dusty library, sparks fly-not the angry kind, but the kind that slowly burn everything you've ever known about yourself. As the hours tick on, the connection between them deepens, tangled with stolen glances, sarcasm turned softness, and a slow-blooming tenderness neither of them thought they deserved. But Saturday ends. And in the harsh light of Monday morning, can something that started in silence survive the noise of real life?Complete
You Talk Too Much
Nicolas didn't want friends. Didn't want attention. Definitely didn't want her. But then Lina sat next to him. Every. Single. Day. She talked through the awkward silences, laughed at her own jokes, and asked questions he never answered. She was chaos in sneakers and bubblegum lip gloss - and he wanted nothing to do with her. ...Until he did. Because somehow, her noise started drowning out the thoughts he didn't know how to escape. And her voice became the only thing that made the silence bearable. This isn't a love story. Not at first. This is a story about a boy who lost his spark... And the girl who wouldn't let him disappear quietly. β Nicolas β Lina β "You Talk Too Much" β High school setting β Healing + chaos + slow-burn (Btw I forgot to add that there will be no smut of any kind in this story. Maybe an innocent kiss or something but nothing else)![Rebound, But Newfound [boyxboy]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/1257791-256-k219277.jpg)
