Seventh grade aspiring writer Ella Fletcher desperately wants to write a romance novel, but when her friends talk her into dating a boy as real-life "research", the middle school drama that ensues turns out to be more than she'd bargained for.

This goofy idea sprang into my brain one day, just begging to be written. I hope you all have as much fun reading it as I did writing it!

Middle School Miniature by Diamondgirl_ema
27 parts Ongoing
I stand up slowly and look up into the huge, sad, green eyes of my friend. I still remember my life when it was normal, average, plain. Nothing of any importance ever happened. "Don't go!" he pleads softly. I look down as my heart squeezes. "I have to," I say, "I can't let anyone else get hurt." Silently, I sob. "I'm sorry." I say and slowly turn to jump off the edge into a dark oblivion. ◆◆◆ Middle School Miniature brings to you the life of a confused 13 year old girl in middle school who finds herself on the small side of the coin as she and an acquaintance flee from those who would capture her. I like to try and focus on the descriptions to bring you, the reader, into the tiny shoes of Amelia as much as I can. I have always found these stories to twist my insides and really have me wishing to see that perspective for real. If you enjoy this kind of story, please consider reading. Copyright is mine.

Luna by anya_jayvyn
47 parts Complete
A bullied girl meets the popular new student. ***** "Still saying that you're perfectly okay?" Max whispers. I'm surprised to hear that his voice is shaking. "I'm going to find who did this to you." ***** One time, I was the most popular girl in school. All the students in Royal Heights, the school of the richest, knew me as the pretty Luna Klein, daughter of a famous superstar and a well-known billionaire. But the next thing I know, I'm an outcast. Just because of a complicated thing called love, everything turns 180 degrees. Now, I'm the girl that everyone hates. I've lost all my friends. I've lost my best friend. And I've lost the guy that I adore. All I can do now is to ignore the bullies and to survive each day quietly, hoping that I don't attract too much attention like before. Everyone in my school starts to call me loony Luna. Or lunatic, their favorite nickname. Then he suddenly arrives. Max Cooper, the new student who just got here from Australia. Insanely good-looking and smart, topped with his impressive family background, Max easily becomes everybody's favorite, especially the girls'. Disastrously, of all the other things he can pick, Max sets his eyes on the most forbidden and despised thing in Royal Heights. Me. Even though the whole school hates that idea. But pushing Max away is like trying to tame a wild lion that has just been released from its cage. Max is unstoppable. My mother once said that if a guy is really into you, he will pursue you no matter what. I think I know now how it feels. I just don't know how to handle my heart. Because every time his piercing eyes land on me, I feel like my heart is going to burst out of my chest. © 2021 Anya Jayvyn. All Rights Reserved.
Dear Intruder | (Completed) by vineethereader
38 parts Complete
Could you fall in love with someone you never met, saw or spoke to? Sounds unlikely? *** Ella is an overworked college student whose only plan is to complete her degree swiftly & proficiently. Sounds simple enough- but when she comes across a personal diary that sparks her curiosity, it is suddenly proven a little more than a speed bump. Ella is intrigued, maybe even enamored.... But definitely in denial. Hooked by the writer's endearing charm, sharp wit & beautiful penmanship, she begins an anonymous correspondence and with every confession, every single quip and joke, he wins her heart little by little while she loses herself in those letters. Even though she has a pile of college assignments demanding her time, Ella makes it her mission to search for the unknown writer. She defenestrates her logical plans & tortures herself by indulging in a nail-biting & probably a tad bit unhealthy mystery as she sets out on an expedition that would only come to an end when she finds the enigmatic scribbler. And that just might be the most terrifying project she has ever taken on. (FULL SYNOPSIS INSIDE) *************** Highest Ranks: #Prose, #Humor, #Letters,#Anonymous, #Poetic I will be honest, this book is a masterpiece. -Reader The best book of the year! -Reader Cutest book ever! Great depth to the characters. -Reader The storyline is so different from other romance novels. This book is going to stick with me and has become really close to my heart! Thanks a million❤ -Reader Oh my goodness I can't believe I have reached the end already, this was an absolutely amazing book, loved each and every chapter, it had me captivated from the very beginning till the very end and I can't come to terms with the fact that I have already finished it❤️✨- Reader.
MY HIDDEN THERAPY by HARSHITARAMCHANDANI
19 parts Ongoing
Heyy guys! Here I am composing a love story. I love writing and the reason why I started writing this story is because I wanted to create a world of my imagination. This story consists of the people of my imagination. Although I have imagined the male lead while the female lead resembles me. This story is a sweet high school romance between two top students. An egoistic male lead who falls for an easily irritated girl who suffers from self-doubt. Let's see how they meet and bind in a beautiful relationship of love and friendship and how they become each other's unpaid hidden therapy. I hope to give life to my imagination through this story. I hope you'll enjoy reading.
Puppy Love ~Little Nightmares 2 x Reader~ by TheNastyPatty

I've had this idea for awhile and I finally decided to write it <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> "This story is about a person named y/n just living life, trying to escape the school. But when encountering some certain protagonists and helping each other out of the school, some puppy crushes develop. Which would end better if y/n wasn't a teenager, who has no interest in dating children, and who is twice the size of them. Poor Mono, poor Six, poor poor y/n. Their kindness goes a long way in the eyes of young and impressionable children." <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> ⚠️!!!Warnings!!!⚠️ TW: mentioning of sewerslide, death, abuse, beating, gore, being in pain, and anything you would expect in the LN series 🤎!!!Credits!!!💛 The cover is from Google when I searched "little nightmares 2 official art" so I'm pretty sure it's owned by Tarsier Studios, correct me if I'm wrong I don't own anything except this story, the characters aren't mine and neither is y/n technically, so just the story :) I added the text, but otherwise this is official gameplay! LN is made by Tarsier Studios, so they own the whole game and concept as far as I know! <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> 🌱Started: Sometime in March 2021 🪷Temporarily discontinued: August 5 2022 🌿Finished: being rewritten, it will be labeled under completed 🪻In the process of being rewritten on my Tumblr account!!!

Her Younger Mate (Old Version) by agguerra

The edited version of this book is being updated under the name "That's Inappropriate, Mr. King." Twenty-two-year-old Anna wonders if she will ever find her mate. After her brother suggests that she should go to her original pack and try her luck, she decides to move there and gets her first job as a high school teacher. She had dreamed about her mate for very long time, but when she finds him, he is nothing like she expected... ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* "Mr. King, what can I help you with?" "Mate..." He growled... A conflicted look in his eyes. "I knew this would happen, but I told you, we have to wait-" He scoffed, interrupting me. "I Caleb King, re-" Now, I interrupted him... with a kiss. I know I should not be doing this, but I have been looking for him for so long and I just needed to do this... At least once. A real kiss with my mate. I expected him to pull away but he put his hands on my lower back and pulled me closer to him. I could feel sparks and a happiness and tranquility invaded my body. It just felt right and I wanted more, but I knew how this would end. I felt the tears running down my cheeks. I stepped back, interrupting the kiss. He whimpered a little bit and for a second I saw adoration in his eyes, but he pushed it back, giving me a blank stare. "I am sorry. I needed to do this. You can reject me now." He looked a little taken aback. "You were going to reject me. I just thought we both needed to experience this only once. You are the future Alpha, so I should not be the one to break the bond. Please do it now!" I do not why, but I wanted him to do it. After all, he was going to do it before and I did not want a kiss to change his mind. "I Caleb King, reject you Anna Amores as my mate." I think I could hear my heart break in that second. "I Anna Amores, accept your rejection, Alpha, and I wish the best for you, always." I gave him an honest smile... And he left, without looking back... ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
