The Badboy Got Out Of Wattpad
Editing to be published in paperback [Featured on @TeenFiction @StoriesUndiscovered @BadassReads] Have you ever thought of hacking Wattpad to get more reads and votes? Badboy stories are the famed sensation on Wattpad, with million readers and votes. But when Hazel looked at the first chapter which she published two weeks ago, only 10 reads and 1 vote. Of course, that 1 vote is her own. Even if she wrote her dreams, her mind, her time, her everything in this book, it isn't worth it. There was only one thing left to do. Impetuous, Hazel Everster hacked wattpad that night with the help of her bestfriend Lia Darkley, and got an ample amount of reads and votes on her book, but that wasn't all. She accidentally also brought to real life the sex-on-stick protagonist of her story. The badboy.

After one of the best evenings of her life, at the junior high school ball, a young girl experiences her first and only kiss. During the awkward moment, something goes terribly wrong and her life is turned upside down, severing her from the usual humdrum of a teenage girl and hurling her into the world of the paranormal. Who can she trust, where can she turn? And what is it with this 'other girl' that has befriended her in this foreign place? Why is this impostor leading her to places she does not want to go and pretending to be someone that she is not? As the young girl drifts unknown paths, she begins to unravel the mysteries, learns of new threats she could not predict and finds herself in situations that cannot be controlled. She discovers these unpredictable threats can cross both lines, creating havoc wherever they appear. Will she find all the answers and pick up the pieces, or will she be lost in this oblivion forever? **N.B.

The Spirit Inside My Room
Welcome to my LONGEST STORY UP TO DATE!!!!!! \(^o^)/ Short synopsis: "A teenage girl shares the story of her strange life. How at one particular moment, things changed when she heard odd noises coming from out of her wardrobe. Even after years of experiencing the same thing at night over and over again, she still wasn't able to figure out why she was being haunted by the entity in her closet since the day she turned eleven. She eventually decided not to ponder about it anymore and get used to the situation. But then, a couple of days before her seventeenth birthday, she starts to discover a very dark past that has way more to do with herself than she could have ever imagined." I can't believe my longest story is written in English (since that isn't my native language), but it is and I'm... kinda... PROUD of it! It literally has exactly 15.750 words in total. 8) Hopefully, you'll like it. If you do, please give the story some love, follow me and I would LOVE it if you told others about my work too. And I already have more stories than just this one, so please check those one out as well. They take a long time to write! :v I'm not lying. Writing this story took me hours and hours, days and days, WEEKSSSSSS (and maybe even months, but I honestly forgot... I wrote it, in fact, back in 2020)... The story isn't that great or whatsoever, but I DID MY BEST, OKAY?! XD HAVE FUN READING MY STORY.Complete
