**Edited in 2018 and new chapters coming soon...**
After her mother left her over ten years ago, seventeen year old Lana has been sailing around the word with her dad. She may have been homeschooled but she knows everything she needs to know about the ocean. Not only on boats but on a surfboard too.
Never staying in one place very long, Lana never had time to make friends or live a stable life as they try to cope with minimum income.
But a month after her dad leaves to go on a sailing race, she gets a call that her father is missing and is forced to live with the mother she hasn't spoken to in years. The mother who happens to own one of the biggest beach resorts in Hawaii.
Lana must learn how to survive in this knew life where she will have to deal with snobby rich people, old childhood friends, the non-existent relationship with her mother and the worry of having no idea what happened to her father.
But how long will she have this new life before she goes back to her old one?

Teammates With Benefits
[boyxboy] Cameron Patterson and Aaron Williams have hated each other for as long as either of them can remember. Because they play positions that counter each other, it was easy for them to hate each other. When one of them is playing well, the other is playing badly. On multiple occasions, their confrontations have become physical, some of them becoming full on fights. One night following a game, their hatred erupts in a way neither of them saw coming. WARNING: There is a massive amount of smut in this book. If you do not want to read smut, do not read this book, because there is a hell of a lot of smut. Chapters with smut will be labeled with an (M) on them, showing that they are mature. If you don't want to read smut, please just skip those chapters. IMPORTANT: The characters start out 18, but there are clear inconsistencies. I started writing this before the Wattpad Purge, and I didn't want to go through the entire story and change their age to 18. There will be a couple chapters near the end of the book where they both turn 18, and obviously that's just stupid. I just don't want to get banned, so I'm saying that these characters are already 18, but they also have their 18th birthdays near the end of the book. I'm just being lazy to be honest. It's not gonna affect the book that much, just ignore it when they say in the early chapters that they are already adults or already 18. That shit doesn't matter. The quality of my writing in this book is pretty mid by the way. I'm a teenage boy that listens to 21 Savage, I feel like expectations shouldn't be high. I don't have writing skills the way many other writers on this site do, so don't expect some Shakespeare type shit. The characters in this book are similar to each other too. It's easier I guess. #1 Sports 4/8/24 #1 Teen Love 6/24/24 #3 Friends With Benefits 3/31/24 #6 Football 3/27/24 #2 Jock 7/2/24 #6 Hate to Love 5/16/24 #4 Bisexual 6/10/24 #4 Pride 6/24/24 #3 Gay Love 6/27/24 #2 Teen Romance 7/26/24Complete
A Breath of Fresh Air
For 17-year-old high school senior Evan Brooks, life could be better. He's a social outcast at school, stuck in a rural Alabama small town he never wanted to move to, and he's got a secret he's desperately trying to keep: he's gay. When he embarks on a weekend vacation to the Florida panhandle with his hypermasculine brother, homophobic stepdad, and aloof mother, none of them can anticipate how much a simple 3-day trip will change their lives forever... **2025 Update: Hi! This was my very first attempt at crafting an entire story from scratch all the way back in 2020, and I'd like to think my writing has since improved. I've started working on a big rewrite project, so stay tuned for a newly enhanced story! Please visit the last chapter (2025 Rewrite Info/Updates) for more details. In the meantime, the original story will remain here in full - just know that I know some parts of it are cringe lol. I hope you still enjoy it though! :) Some details have changed between this story and Road to Rockdale in anticipation of the rewrite, so please excuse some inconsistencies if you're coming from that story. I promise everything will line up eventually! CONTENT WARNING/TRIGGERS: Please note that this story contains very strong language at times and some mature themes. Some characters face emotional abuse. There is also a small amount of physical abuse, but it is mostly implied apart from one scene which is not extremely graphic. Some characters are homophobic, and a slur is used a handful of times.Complete
Ride the Waves (Author's Edit)
(I've decided to edit and re-publish one of my most successful books here on this platform, now as a mature writer. Ride the Waves is a book I began writing at 17 years old-now 10 years later it has amassed many fans and many reads. Also in the space of 10 years, I have grown a lot as a person and as a literary writer and decided to re-write my most famous book. Obviously the original Ride the Waves has my heart-that's my baby!-but looking at it now, from a mature lens, I could really do the story more justice by reimagining it. This is exactly what this is. Ride the Waves: author's edit. Same story line, same loved characters, but better writing. Hope you enjoy) Blurb: Ride the waves; It's a surfing term. Surfers paddle out to catch waves. They wait for a really good, high, strong wave, then they surf it into shore. When you ride a wave, it's not your power propelling you, it's the strength of the natural phenomenon. So to ride a wave metaphorically is to go with something already happening. For seventeen-year-old Nina, surviving has never felt like riding a wave. After losing her best friend and nearly losing herself, she's just trying to stay afloat. As she navigates the turbulent waters of grief, first love, and senior year, Nina begins to find her rhythm again. But some waves carry secrets beneath their surface. And when the truth finally crashes over her, everything she thought she knew will be swept away.![[Remaking/Not Completed] Abandoned (Boy×Boy)](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/142828076-256-k284841.jpg)

Scholar
[COMPLETED] [Warning: Strong language used throughout the book.] He put his hand over my notebook and the other over mine. I glared up at him, his golden brown eyes catching my attention. "I can't write like this," I pointed out. "Is this all you care about?" Ryan asked. I shrugged. "Not this specifically, but yeah, I care about my grades." Ryan smirked. I swallowed nervously but refused to break my stoic expression. He leaned closer to me, my heart pounding so hard against my chest it felt like it might break out and fall on the table between us. His mouth was right by my ear, and I could feel his warm breath when he spoke which sent shivers down my spine. "Well, aren't you a little a scholar?" *** The only things Alex Moris ever cared about were his grades and his sister. However, when the boy his sister likes, Ryan Smithe, makes things complicated and causes him to feel things he's never felt before, Alex realizes that, maybe, there's more important things in life than grades and scholarships.
