Change is inevitable. Even when you expect it, or when you least expect it... it turns your world upside down.

 *** 

Sasha Li. Senior in high school, isolating herself as she tries to adapt to her parents' divorce, while protecting her little brother, studying hard to get into the top universities in Canada, and battling a dilemma on whether she was to work back towards her old dream, or finally find it in her to let it go and find a new one. 

Theo Atkinson. The high school's senior year class president and aspiring film director. Chivalrous, compassionate and radiating positivity wherever he went -- even as he desperately searches for someone to help him with his script for the annual film festival, where emerging as the winner would make his dream come true.  

One jaded, the other hopeful. Nonetheless, they put their differences aside to work together to reach a common goal -- to transfer the real-life story of their senior Hiransh Shrestha, a dancer who had lost his vision, to the screen. 

However, the more Theo spends time with Sasha, the more Sasha realises that he too, is fighting battles no one knows about. Together, perhaps, they may be able to learn how to dance in the dark.All Rights Reserved

Only to Feel This Fully [Completed] by ewwwdavid

Charlie Holloway has great friends, good grades, a steady part-time job he actually likes, and athletic ability that makes him a star in two sports, but recently it's all felt rather hollow. However, when childhood friend Theo Broussard comes back into his life, Charlie is shaken out of a years-long daze that has left him coasting through his teenage years. Theo just happening to be the star player for his school's biggest rival and his first crush only complicates matters further. When things get difficult, Charlie finds himself forced to choose between his current life following the path of least resistance or a harder but possibly more fulfilling one. "Only to feel this fully, this entire, the way snow touched bare skin & is suddenly, no longer snow" -Ocean Vuong, "Devotion" from Night Sky with Exit Wounds [Re-edited 4/18/20]

Hope and Destiny (and everything in between). by whyismae_soannoying

"Whoever coined the term 'love' as a sign of endearment was an absolute idiot, and I mean that in the most polite way possible." Julia, like most seniors, is somewhat ready to face the final year of high school before she plans on achieving one of her two goals; to pursue her dreams in the field of journalism. The other dream, you ask? The one she's dead set on crumbling up and throwing aside? To experience romance worth the songs, the stories, and the sonnets. So, transferring to a new high school a year before passing out seems too short to want to live and love, but, unfortunately, fate has other plans in store. And the plan involves one sun-eyed boy with hopes bigger and beyond the world, and every intention to crash into a certain eager, future journalism student's life and break her walls. "Nobody focuses on the story anymore. It's always the beginning and the conclusion. The depth is all in the middle - the body, the 'long-ass narratives'." "Is it, now? Oh please, pray tell?" "Sure, you have your hope and destiny, but what about everything else in between?" "Like these small moments where I tell you how much reading helps me fall asleep? Or the moments where you punch my arm in return?"

He Was A Skaterboy | COMPLETE by farahanwrites

If there is someone who you would call Little Miss Perfect, it would be Kiara Moussa. The Pakistani girl with the fair skin, dark hair and eyes who has been voted 'The Sweetheart' two years in a row for the yearbook. With her Bambi like eyes, cheeky laughter, and perpetually sunny disposition, it is easy to believe that she leads a charmed life. She puts on a show of living life as a musical prodigy so effortlessly that no one sees the work she puts in every spare moment that she has or how far she is pushed to achieve perfection. Emre Ersoy had always admired Kiara from afar. Yes, even though he would never admit it out loud, he knew he was crushing on her hard when he picked up the guitar and she smiled her brilliant smile at him. He was 11 and she was 10. He'd wanted to be around her more than he ever let on but they'd both moved into different friend groups and had different interests. It was compliments from her that Emre realised that he really liked music and wanted to pursue it, regardless of what his Turkish parents thought. They are paired together for their History project and all those years of secret looks are not secret anymore. And it finally looks like Emre has a chance to get close to this girl that he'd admired all this time. But he quickly realises that the girl in school isn't really the same person at home as he gets to know her better. They tease, they flirt; but there are those who are unhappy with the two of them get closer. The closer they get, the more difficult things get for them. Will circumstances push them closer together or pull them apart? *Avril Lavigne Ska8er Boi x slow burn teen romance*

You Are the Shell to My Tortoise | ✓ by LotteStarburst

Nolan, an unapproachable guy who ignores the existence of all his schoolmates, sleeps in all of his classes. Normally, this wouldn't be Chelsea Arnold's problem--she does her best to pay attention in class and attends gym like a good, normal student. Unfortunately, she just so happens to be his assigned desk partner in many classes. She's frequently forced to wake him in English class and ends up earning the unofficial title of Nolan's Wake-up Alarm--a title that nobody in the entire school covets. The last thing she wants is to interact with him more than she absolutely has to. One day, their gym teacher sends her to bring him back to class, which he always skips for some reason. When she accidentally shines her flashlight in his sleeping face, it triggers a chain of events that gradually intertwines their lives together. It's hard to be a normal student when you start befriending the school oddball. It doesn't help that he has more secrets than the Big Ben has stairs. ----- Complete.

Ribbons In Her Blonde Hair by dearpacificday

Two months into the rough whirlwind of high school, Adam Winters is already used to being the favorite target of fists and mockeries. Not everyone seems to be bugged by his quiet, eccentric nature, save for the 'pretty' ones. The ones with a comfortable background. The ones at the top. When the evidently attractive transfer becomes his seat neighbour for the rest of the semester, Adam is naturally wary---partly because of her brawny sibling in senior year, and partly because she meets all his criteria for people to avoid the most: pretty, rich, and popular. With an angelic smile, twinkling sapphire eyes and ribbons in her blonde hair, her persona screams perfection. A level he won't be able to achieve even in his quirkiest of daydreams---not like he'd ever want to. After all, despite her peculiar choice of friends and her persistent efforts to win his trust, isn't she just another potential bully? ••• (Word count per chapter: 2,300-3,000)

When a school project forces Lena and Ethan to collaborate, their clashing worlds are set on a collision course. Lena sees Ethan as the embodiment of everything wrong with the high school hierarchy, while Ethan views Lena as an irrelevant distraction.
