Skeletons
As a kid, Raphael was a homophobic bully. Now, at age 23, he's grown out of the bully act. His homophobia? Still there, but it doesn't show often―after all, there are no gay people around him. Just his mom, ex-girlfriend, and daughter, Mia. Or so he thinks, until a phone call one morning comes with news that puts him face-to-face with his prejudice. But shaking prejudice is hard when your ashamed family, some hungry reporters, and a stubborn gay activist are breathing down your neck. Changing is hard, especially when you've buried skeletons.Complete

The Class Clown And The Class President
Rory never intended to form any close friendships in his final year of high school; it was meant to be just like any of his previous years.

And what happens when Josh Gallagher, a seemingly heterosexual 16-year-old, can't fathom the idea of what his sudden interest towards the ignorant class president could actually mean?

Spring
Sage Gibson wasn't prepared for his whole existence to be uprooted and moved away. He didn't love his life, but that didn't mean he wouldn't miss it. Now he's in a small town where he pretends not to notice the looks some people give him. Maybe it's the painted finger nails? He doesn't care all that much. He's too busy trying to figure himself out and how much of his past is affecting him. With his family to worry about and his own personal puzzle that is his mind, he doesn't have time to care about what people at school think of him. He's happy enough with his one new friend and gawking at her hot brother. (He will never admit that last part out loud.) That's all he needs. And if said hot brother wants to become friends too? Well, he won't complain. Marc Yamasaki is normally a quiet guy. He doesn't like to talk too much and everyone has just accepted that. He doesn't have much to say, so why try? He's too tired of trying to get people to care. When a new boy shows up, suddenly his interest is piqued. The freckled face boy is good at basketball and he's a little cute. Sure, he likes to talk a lot, but Marc finds it oddly adorable. The only slight problem is his hesitation to join the team, and the fact that he might be flirting with Aria, Marc's sister. He can't tell if he wants to hate or like this guy. Then he finds out he's gay? Cherry on top. So, what happens when the two boys get closer while playing basketball? Their friendship gets to feeling a little... odd. What will they become when a new tension starts to settle over them?Complete
Texting A Popstar
Based on my short story titled 'Famous?' I wanted to make it a little longer and more detailed. Happy reading! ** Jack Summers is just a normal teenage boy in a decently normal high school in a decently normal town. See, I say "decently normal" because it is normal, except that the town is known for giving 'life' to the All-Around Star Boy Danny Knox. He is a young but famous singer and male model in all the popular magazines. He went to Lee County High School just like Jack and all of his classmates. He's a legend for being a perfect student and an overall perfect person. Jack likes Danny's music and no doubt does he think he's handsome, but he does not believe that Danny is a perfect person. Only because he knows that nobody is perfect. He has nothing against the pop star. In fact, he may or may not have a small celebrity crush on him. But so does over half of the world so how is he different? ** There's an added bonus scene (chapter 13). It is mature content so if you're uncomfortable with that then you don't have to read it. You won't be missing any details if you skip it.Complete![The Stars That Night [boyxboy]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/155854338-256-k80735.jpg)
