YoungWealthGeneration 💚 by Frizzylondon

Early Life and Challenges Larnell Sillah was born on March 19, 1997, in the vibrant and gritty streets of the Bronx, New York. His childhood was marked by both struggle and resilience. Growing up without his father in the home, Larnell sought guidance from the male figures around him. His two uncles became his greatest influences, teaching him life lessons that shaped his character. Despite the challenges of his upbringing, he carried a deep-seated ambition-he often expressed his desire to be "well off" and provide a better life for himself and those he cared about. A New Friendship In 2006 or 2007, I met Larnell under unique circumstances. I had just moved from the Bronx to Grayson, Georgia, where our grandmothers were close friends that helped bridge the gap between us. We found ourselves attending the same middle school, where our bond quickly grew into something that felt more like brotherhood than simple friendship.Larnell and I were inseparable. He became a part of my family almost instantly, and we spent countless hours together, navigating the unfamiliar world of Georgia while finding solace in each other's company. Though we weren't related by blood, our connection felt as strong as any family tie. This marked the beginning of a period of distance between us. Life's circumstances and the move created a gap that neither of us had foreseen. Middle School Challenges As time went on, our friendship was tested in ways we couldn't have anticipated. One pivotal moment came during our time at McConnell Middle School. Larnell and I were faced with adversity when an older bully on the bus targeted us. We stood up for ourselves, but the situation escalated, leading to disciplinary consequences. Compounded by the fact that I didn't live in the school district, I was expelled and eventually transferred to Snellville Middle School.

His Greatest Sanctity by lote003

"Breathe." He dipped his head down so that his lips were right at my ear, his strong arm wrapped securely around my waist, molding my body into his. "If you're going to fall apart,." He starts, teeth gritted. "Now's the time. I'll be here to put you back together when it's over." I squeezed my eyes shut again, and I did just that. I fell apart. ******* Secrets. Lies. Deception. Murder. I'd seen and done it all. And not willingly. So I left. I sacrificed my freedom to save myself, and the only way to ensure my own safety was to start over. Clean slate. New people. New me. But the last thing I expected when I arrived at Manonwell Prep Academy was to be bombarded by a boy-no, a man who held some unknown vendetta against me. Call it obsession, infatuation, hatred. To me it was all one in the same. He was everywhere I turned, like a shadow. Watching me. Taunting me. Haunting me. And it was all because of something I did to him a long time ago. It was something so bad that he couldn't stand me, that he wanted me dead, and the idea of making my life a living hell was something that he took pride in. But I didn't remember. I had no clue what I could've done to him in the past, but he was hellbent on pushing me until I did. My plans on starting over were shattered the minute I stepped inside that school. He was the type of person that demanded your attention without having to speak. He was untamed and wild and unhinged. But what he didn't know was that the Winter Travers that he knew in past, the one I didn't remember, was no longer alive. I was different. She was gone and I was here. And he was everything I should've been afraid of. Sinister, quiet, manipulative, but I knew it would be a cold day in hell before I let him win. Ronan was like gasoline waiting to be doused on the fire that inside me, and if he was ready to burn, then so was I.

A Home For You by rommpa

A boy, a student, a baseball player, a provocateur, a shop-lifter, a kleptomaniac.. all words Matt would use to describe Aiden Harper. Due to unfortunate circumstances, Matthew Cooper, a junior football athlete and proficient troublemaker, is forced to open his home to Aiden Harper, somewhat of a popular kid from a much fancier school, but even so, he still comes with just as much trouble. Thanks to their fathers' arrangement, Matt must learn to share his space with another. But can he ever get used to the presence of someone so unusual like Aiden? What Matt doesn't realize yet is that Aiden Harper comes with his own story, hidden intentions, and a quiet thirst for revenge. • • • Matt's face was reddening every moment that passed. He clicked his tongue, "Had I known we'd be welcoming in a thief into our home in the first place, I would've beat the shit out of you in that damned waiting room." Aiden lifted his head, locking eyes with Matt's dark, unflinching stare. "I'm not a damn thief," he snapped, his tone biting. He shoved Matt back, his stare as cold as his. "Don't act like you're any better. We both ended up in that same place after all." ⚠️ This story may contain themes of: - Violence - Blood - Mental Disorders - Homophobia - Intimacy

And when love and affection actually start reaching out to him for the first time in his life, he is snatched far away and thrown into a pit of darkness.

If Looks Could Kill by ReedWriter15

All of the men holding up the serial killer somehow manage to shove him into a police car. They lock the door behind him and Barrett lets out a sigh of relief. The police have got it covered from here. He takes his hand out of his pocket, letting go of his gun and zips up his jacket. With that, he turns and quietly makes his way out of the crowd of people. Everyone pretty much ignores him, still trying to get a look at what's going on in their usually still neighborhood. The streets get darker and darker the farther Barrett walks away from the police lights. Every other street in this town is still fast asleep, with no idea of what could have happened just a block away from them. But it had been prevented. All thanks to him. Barrett finally comes upon his car, and slips inside. It's already way warmer than the outside air, so he lets out a small sigh of relief. This mission is over and done with. Now onto the next psychopath.
