Playing with Fire
[Highest Rank: #328] Anna's a normal girl. Well, at least she wishes she was. She watched her parents die in front of her when she was eight years old. Ten years later, she's lived her life in ignorance, attempting to regain the childhood innocence that was once lost. She only wishes to live normally ... like any other teen girl. Of course, it's hard when people keep looking at her with those pitying eyes. The only thing she's retained from her trauma is a mild fear of congested social occasions and occasional nightmares. Otherwise, she's just your typical, straight-A, quirky girl who lives with her neighbors and crushes on her adoptive brother. Okay, maybe she ISN'T that normal. But one thing's for sure. Her life is flipped inside-out once she runs into the school's notorious troublemaker, who has just as much of a dark past as she does. She just wants to be friends. He just wants to avoid her.

Cynical Souls
COMPLETED✅ Two high school teenagers finding themselves, analyzing this ever changing world, and building love. This is the type of love you wish you found in high school but probably know way too well that it only exists as fiction. Today I'm turning my fiction to reality. ❣️•••❣️ Excerpt: Just as I was about to seek shelter under some building's roof, the tires of a car come to a halt, I wonder who might pity the lonely girl walking in the rain. The passenger window rolls down, and I spot the most unexpected person seated behind the wheel. "Get in" comes out his voice, and I must've stood there agape for a few moments because next comes his rhetorical question. "Are you getting in or continuing walking in the rain?" Eyebrows raised expectantly. He sounds annoyed, like he regrets his decision to ever stop and help me. ❣️•••❣️ #5 in cynical #2 in loveandfriendship #1 in opinionated #4 in ihatelife #10 in nerdgirl #10 in HighschoolRomance #26 in GoodGirlBadBoy *contains mature themes. *contains cursing.Complete
