Alex Dyar has been jumping from foster home to foster home for three years. Why? None of your fucking business! She ends up in yet another house, next to Calum Hood. The two instantly hate each other, but Calum can tell she has more than she lets out. He soon learns that she's talented, funny, and has a bright personality. Then why does she push people away? Why has she been moving from foster house to foster house? Alex wants to learn more about Calum as well. Why is everyone so obsessed with him? What's so important? But, when Alex develops a crush on Michael, Calum's best mate, what's going to happen to the two who swear they'll never be friends, let alone a couple. Never in a million years.                            ***                                                                           A/N: Hey anyone who's actually reading this. So I know in a lot of fanfics they only focus on the girl and the boy and how they fall in love. I want you to know that what I'm writing is so much more than a fanfic to me. This is about Alex's character development as well as Calum's. There are going to be some chapters that only has Calum in one part out of the three it's divided in. If you want a cheesy, straight to the point, unrealistic fanfic this isn't for you. But if you want a real, cheesy, uplifting, and inspiring story about how a girl overcomes what's been holding her down for so long and finally finds true love, this is what you're looking for. This is all purely fictional, and I'm saddened to say this, but I know most of you can relate to Alex in different ways. I hope those of you who can relate to Alex will take back what she learns in this story and apply in to real life because we all deserve to feel happy and loved.All Rights Reserved

She knows what she doing is wrong, and she shouldn't do that, but she is not in control of her emotions, and it is quite the opposite. She feels she needs to see him and to talk to him. And while she waits, all kinds of thoughts are going through her head: "I have a feeling he is seeing someone. I don't want to think about what I'm gonna do to him!" and shortly after: "Maybe I should just leave before he sees me? No! I can't. When you are rolling off a cliff you just can't stop. I guess you need to feel the bottom. The only problem - you don't know where that bottom is." And she is trying to analyze how is it that she got attached to him so quickly and so strongly: "What has he done to me? Is it some kind of a spell? How could I get so attached to him so soon? Is this how true love is supposed to feel? Losing yourself in someone, completely? Or is that just the stupid me?"

Rule Two// c.h by Justeen_96

"We're in your dorms Calum!" I exclaimed as he lifted me up onto his low dresser and started kissing down my neck. "What about your roommate?" I asked pushing him back. "Oh come on, you saw me put an X on the whiteboard on the door." He said with a smirk running his hands up my thighs and to my hips. "Yeah I noticed and what I also know is if my brother ever sees an X on that whiteboard that he didn't write, then he's going to kill you." Calum huffed and moved away, stopping his assault on my neck. I gave him a knowing look, crossing my arms. "Fine, I'll erase it." He grumbled. "But God when we get back to the car Kitten, you better be prepared." I rolled my eyes as he opened his bedroom door. Having a boyfriend in college came with a lot of benefits like parties and alcohol. The only downside, he was rooming with my big brother.

Highschool Sweethearts by K-good

Katelyn has been in and out of the foster system since her mother died when she was young. After her father gets put in jail again, she gets sent to live with the Thomas family. The Thomas's are a very well-off family with four boys. Their house is usually the main hangout for the boys and their friends. Kate hasn't ever lived with siblings before, let alone this many boys, so it's a big change for her. Daniel is your typical high school football player; he's got the looks, the muscles, talent, and even the overbearing dad who wants him to go pro. Daniel, however, really couldn't care less about a career in football, he loves the game, but it's his dad's dream for him to go pro, not his own. At least not anymore. He spends most of his free time away from his house and hanging out at either the Thomas or the Copperfield house. He can't wait to go off to college with his friends and get away from his dad and the stupid little town he grew up in. How will things change for them over the next year? This will be a series of 4, but the other books will be spin-offs and can be read as stand-alone books. They will, however, be published in chronological order. Full warning, this book is much shorter than I intend on making the spin-offs. I was planning on writing book two as the first in the series but found myself needing more of a prequel to all three other books, and so I chose to write something from their high school years. Bonus points for giving Daniel a love interest that was more than just a name.

A Home for Jane by sarahabenitez

I'm not here to write a romance with a happy ending, I'm writing to prove life isn't always perfect, in most cases it never is, especially when it comes to love. This is to prove that no matter how hard life gets, don't give up, don't push people away, stand up and show whoever or what ever it is that you aren't going to let them or it hinder who you are. Life is precious and we need to live it as we want to be, not as other people want us to be. Jane has been an outcast her entire life, she was orphaned at a young age and grew up without a family. When she turned 11, the Mavery's adopted her, for the past 6 years of her life she's been stuck living in their attic. They don't treat her like part of the family. Her stuck up step-mother Ana only ever points out her flaws, and Neal her step-father doesn't stop her. You'd think that would be enough to drive anyone over the edge, but now add the little 'brats' that torment her constantly. Cortlyn and Oscar. Cortlyn has always been jealous of Jane and her friendship with Adam, the boy next door. Oscar actually likes having another sister, but he always sides with his twin, he'd never admit to it. And Adam? He loves Jane, like loves, loves Jane, but of course she's completely clueless, after all it is her best friend...her only friend. But the real trouble starts when Jane finally stands up for her self, what's this crazy family going to do to her next? Like I said before life isn't perfect, you never know what's going to be thrown your way, neither does Jane.

❝Do you realize how messed up we are, hiding our honest feelings just because we wanted to be stereotypically normal? It's bullshit. ❞ ***** Kirlia Hemmings is normal and she makes sure that she reminds herself of that fact, at least once every day. However, despite all her attempts, the entire universe makes her feel like an outcast for being brought up by a gay couple. Her dads are her life but since the arrival of puberty, the only thing she had ever acquired was a jar full of insecurities that made her vulnerable about her very awesome dads. Peter Hemmings and Noah Benedict, soon realise how their daughter was suffering because of their decision of being together and go against the societal norms. Infuriated and dejected, they collectively decide to go make her switch schools. Pride High School. A school was established for homosexuals and people who had been discriminated against based on their gender preferences. Kirlia, however, had a minute issue. She was straight and straights were despised in Pride High. Caught up in a mix of 'heterophobes', it's almost hard to dodge them without getting involved with 'The Scandalous Six', now seven, a gang of those who don't care about people more than baseless prejudices. Being scandalous and friendly, she gets a gang of weirdos who become her beam of sanity. But soon the fury of attraction and prejudices collide, making it almost impossible to run away from reality. How far would Kirlia go to get her piece of love? Or will she be restricted by the prevailing stereotypes? ***** ©sarcastic-mess/2022 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐝 :: June 2022 𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐝 :: ???

Rule Four // c.h by Justeen_96

Final Installment in the Rules Series "Look at me!" I shout at Calum. Slowly, he lifts his eyes. "I have never been so disappointed in you than I am right now!" "Lily, please.." "No! Listen to me Calum Hood and listen well." I stormed towards him. "If you ever do something like that to me or our son ever again I will leave you and you'll never see either of us ever again."

♡In Your Dreams♡ (Jamilton) by Artzee_Dorito

When the quiet college student Alexander Hamilton arrives at Kings College, he automatically feels like something was gonna go completely wrong. Similar to most things in the young boy's life. Unfortunately, his suspicions were correct. He found out he had to share a dorm with none other than his enemy from high school, Thomas Jefferson. Thomas had bullied Alex countless times during their senior year of high school, (when Alex transferred,) and Alex hadn't gotten over it when he saw him again. I mean, who would be all cool with their roomie that made them cut themselves? But anyways, over time, Alex notices that Thomas isn't the basic bully that he seems, and there's a lot more to him that what he previously saw. And the more of Thomas he saw, the more he started to love him. Would Thomas return those feelings? Or would he make Alex's life a living hell for confessing his feelings? (DISCLAIMER!! I was 11 or 12 when I wrote this and had no grasp on the proper language and behavior for fanfic. I said a lot of inappropriate stuff in this book, and I have altered what I could in light of becoming older and recovering from the really awful experience that made me act out the way I did. Some parts are important to the story, so I can't erase them. But I will put trigger warnings for almost smut and self-h*rm. And maybe some stereotypes and insensitive language, as I was uneducated about lgbtq and how it can be appropriately represented by a straight woman. To anyone I've made uneasy in any way, I'm sorry. I was a real annoying and inappropriate writer. I've been a lot more friendly about my books since this, and my family and friends have helped me see how mentally messed up I was when I was writing this. I feel sick to my stomach thinking I once wrote like this and conducted myself in this manner. Please forgive me. I've learned a lot in the four years since I wrote this. Ily all, and happy reading <3)

I Heart You Brother!!! <3 by skippyNot

-Azalea- "Ohh... There he is! Azalea, meet your brother, Calum!" I followed Glenda's hand that is now pointing to a man standing at the entrance way of the dining room. He's wearing a NASA shirt and a pair of jeans with a hole at his knees. "Shit! CALUM-FUCKING-HOOD IS MY BROTHER?!" I try to manage not to shout but I cant help it. Calum Hood is my brother?! It's no big deal. It's BIG, BIG DEAL! "No fucking, sweetie. Just Calum Hood." Glenda corrected that made her chuckle ablittle bit. Knowing that I have to move here in Australia really excites the hell ofbme but knowing that Calum Hood is my brother really freaks me out. "Ohh, hi. I'm Calum, so you're the long lost daughter huh?" he extend his hands to shake mine but I didn't move. I can't move. Deym. Oh God. Maybe he thinks that I'm a weirdo. Come on, Azalea you've been waiting for this. Well not in a situation like this but still...you need to say a word except 'fuck'. "Can I touch you?" I said still in my shocked state. But then he nodded. I know I'm weird. But at least it's way better than cussing. And as my fingers touched him, I knew it. It's real. He's real. Calum Hood is in front of me and he's my brother. Well adopted brother but still he's my brother... unfortunately.
