Youthful Wishes
High school is the period of your life where you feel older and independent. It's also the time where you're restricted and forced into a slim expectation by standards and norms. High school is the last bit of youth you have before you are let loose into the sticky web of life. Within your last years of schooling, your habits and behaviors are what determine if you are a fly or a spider (at least that's what some people say). Clare Carter and her new group of friends are kicking off the school year in a powerful way as they battle new conflicts and the process of becoming high school students and young adults. Each character has their own unique story and background that will represent how they take each situation that comes up. They must tackle drama that takes place at school and home, as well as survive the activities that Freshman get to experience (homecoming, clubs, heartbreaks/relationships, the stress of doing well in school and figuring out a plan after they graduate). This group of friends are scheduled for a wave of realization if they think they'll stick together throughout all four years of high school. This story is created with my OCs that I have fun drawing. This is not an attempt to be a grand author or writer. I am merely using this opportunity as experience for fleshing out my characters and their personalities and backgrounds. The maturity setting was set to ON because any mentions of depression, suicidality, anxiety, sexuality, etc.. were placed under the mature label. This statement serves as a trigger warning that the topics/themes mentioned above ARE present in this story.Complete

Always, Almost Everything
In the final year of high school, everything is supposed to make sense; your friends, your future, your place in the world. But for one girl, everything begins to unravel just when it should all be coming together. After a sudden breakup and growing distance from her friend group, she's forced to navigate heartbreak, pressure, and the kind of loneliness that no one sees from the outside. As she drifts further from who she used to be, she starts making choices that challenge her values and test the limits of her identity. But healing comes slowly-in quiet moments, new friendships, and unexpected clarity. Told with honesty, heart, and the soft ache of growing up, this is a story about falling apart and finding your way back. It's about the people who leave, the ones who stay, and the version of yourself that you fight to become.Complete
