adventure comingofage drama friendship highschool humor love murder weneeddiversity

When Lucky Grant moves from toxic Foster homes to live at Cambridge Institute - a boarding school for talented teens in Santa Monica - it's supposed to be the light at the end of the tunnel.  He would finally be able to kick back and carry out the rest of his high school years with more simplicity than he'd ever had in his entire life.
    
    Or at least he thought so until he meets Cassie Wells; the best ballet dancer in Santa Monica and Cambridge's mysterious It Girl. 
    
    Together, they go on adventures and take on the mysteries of life - but forget sometimes you can be your own worst enemy.
    
    ----
    
    Pretty much a coming-of-age story with a huge twist that I am desperately trying not to give away in the summary.

The Art of Being Lost by vv6424

His breath was warm against my skin, and for a moment, everything else faded, just his presence, his closeness, the tension thick in the air. "Are you always this difficult?" he murmured, his voice low, teasing. I swallowed, my heart pounding. "I'm not difficult," I whispered back, though my voice betrayed me. His gaze softened, his lips almost touching mine. "Then stop pushing me away, Cassie." Before I could think, his lips brushed against mine, and everything shifted. ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ In The Art of Being Lost, Cassie, a reclusive girl who hides her tender heart behind solitude, spends her days wandering the quiet aisles of her favorite bookstore. She's long dismissed the idea of connection, until one fateful Wednesday. Aiden, a charming and carefree stranger, collides with her world amidst a cascade of books. Their first encounter is brief, but undeniable sparks fly. As Aiden's humor and optimism chip away at her defenses, Cassie finds herself questioning whether her isolation is a refuge or a prison.

Edison by tabrison

Fourteen-year-old Edison Green may be a genius, but he doesn't have a clue about what to do on his first day of high school. After being homeschooled until age 9 and then starting college courses, Edison doesn't have any experience with kids his own age. His parents believe he has a rare gift and they don't want him to be distracted by the menial problems of teenagers; instead, they want him to focus on his research project, which could be the next big breakthrough in physics. Edison loves physics more than anything, but loneliness and curiosity about life outside his world cause him to rebel. He goes on strike, refusing to continue his studies until his parents agree to let him go to high school for one year. Edison isn't worried about high school being hard--after all, he's been invited to join Mensa International--an exclusive club for the top 2% of the world's smartest people. But he finds out quickly that it takes more than a high IQ to traverse the social events and activities at Southton High School. During an unfortunate encounter with the school's most popular athlete, Edison meets Christina Blakely, who saves him from getting pummeled on his first day of school. She is the exact opposite of him in every way. Christina is a soccer phenom who doesn't have time to be friends with lowly freshmen. She's got problems of her own, including a low GPA, which could prevent her from getting a college scholarship. Can Christina achieve the impossible-the highest GPA she's ever had--and earn her scholarship? And can Edison prove to his parents and everyone else-including Ashley Murray, the most beautiful girl he's ever seen-that he can do more than solve difficult math problems? Can he really change the world with his research project, win Ashley's heart and survive high school?

The Child From Tomorrow by Valerie246679

When I came home, a little girl was waiting for me in my apartment. I was sure I locked the door. I was sure I lived alone. Yet, there she stood-nine years old, with dark eyes just like mine. And then she said something that sent chills down my spine. 'Mommy, I finally found you.' I don't have a daughter. I don't even have a boyfriend. So who is this child... and why does she look exactly like me? ____ Nythea Moire is a cold, intelligent, and untouchable high school senior admired by many but feared by all. Born into a wealthy yet loveless family, she has grown distant and alone, dedicating herself to academics to prove her worth. Her life is predictable until one fateful day. When she returns to her apartment after school, she finds an unfamiliar little girl waiting for her. The child, Cassie, boldly claims to be her daughter from the future. Confused and skeptical, Thea wants nothing more than to kick the kid out, except there's one problem. The apartment was locked. The security showed no break-in. And the child... looks exactly like her. As Thea struggles to uncover the truth behind Cassie's sudden appearance, she gets drawn into a tangled web of fate, unexpected emotions, and a certain quiet but warm-hearted boy named Alexander Sandoval, the only person who seems to believe and understand her. But why is Cassie here? What does she want to change? Why doesn't she say anything about herself? ____ If you're looking for romance, I'm sorry to disappoint you. This story is more focus on family problem, parental issues and main character struggles and development. It's inspired by people who have family problems and how they grow. English is not my first language but it's my second's. But still, don't expect the perfect writing. I planed this story almost two years ago, but I just wrote it now. Don't judge me!
