And maybe, just maybe, he'll learn that there are some pros to counter the cons of being outed. ---- -Kind of similar to Love, Simon. [April 1st - April 29th]

Thirty-one days by MelodyScarlet18

"It's beautiful" I sigh. "Yes it is" Blaze whispers next to me. I looked at him and saw he was just staring at me. "Why are you staring?" "Because it's a beautiful view" I lightly hit him and laugh. "I think I'm psychic" he blurts out. "Why?" I laugh at the randomness. "Because I can see you in my future" he laughs with me. "Is this a cheesiness competition?" I raise my eyebrow. "It wouldn't be a competition if I already won" "Cocky much?" "You love me though" "Nah" I laugh. "Let's start!" "Roses are red violets are blue, I can't rhyme but can I date you?" "No, but that was good" I admit and start thinking."Are you a magician? Because whenever I look at you everyone else disappears," I grin proudly. "Was your dad king for a day?" he starts. "No, why?" "He must have been to make a princess like you," he winks and I roll my eyes with a smile. I pretended to receive a call and he frowns at me. I put the phone down and pretend look worried. "Who was it?" he asks. "The cops, there was a theft" I say. "What? By who?" he looks really worried that I almost feel guilty. "I told them you stole my heart" I laugh and he just stares at me. "You got me but you know what? I'd never play hide and seek with you because someone like you is impossible to find" he smirks. "Fine, you won" I groan. "Teach me your ways, Sensei" -*- What if you only have 31 days to live? What would you do? Sulk and be contented of the short-lived life? Catherine Walsh is a normal girl with an abnormal situation. She was diagnosed with "Cooley's Anemia" and had her life on a string. She plans her Bucket List. She does it with Blaze Weston.

It just... happened? (boyxboy) by leaa4500

Before I knew it my shirt was torn away from my torso and tossed on the floor, Charlie's doing the same. Our kiss intensified and I felt him groan against my lips. I swear to god, this boy is making out with me like his life depends on it! And that's when reality punched me in the gut... the words 'this boy' kept running through my head over and over again until it got through the thick fog of vodlka and whatever else was in those stupid drinks. I, Ace Loughty, was kissing a guy. A fucking guy. A fucking straight guy named Charlie Simmons who of course had to be one of the most popular dickheads in Meadow Ridge High. I am so unbelievably fucked. ----- 17 year old Ace Loughty was never one longing to be in the spotlight. In fact, he craved the exact opposite: being left alone. When Ace was 13, the tragic death of his younger sister Eleanor caused him to rapidly gain popularity and pitiful looks. He hated the attention. All of a sudden everyone wanted to be friends with the dead girls brother, they'd promise Ace he would never be alone that they would always be there for him, which he of course knew was untrue, they're all just hungry for attention. Sometime later the school moved onto other drama and gossip, things started to die down and people finally left Ace alone. He moved on with his life, convincing himself he was over Eleanor's death and as quick as the whole thing started, he returned to being lonely, weird, quiet nobody Ace. Just how he liked it. That is until 4 years later when he found himself sprawled out on a bed. With Charlie Simmons hovering over him. Charlie Simmons who was kissing Ace like he would die if he ever dared to stop. Which was all too true. Without kissing Ace, Charlie was as good as dead. *WARNING*: This story will contain themes of severe depression, suicide, abuse and somewhat graphic depiction of self harm. If any of these things may trigger you please rethink reading this story!! Started: January 21st 2020

Love only knows broken ends by cynthia8358

"Look at my boobs, Xhey." She commanded. I just couldn't. I honestly couldn't. I was quite turned on. She raised my chin up to look at her. I opened my eyes slowly and spotted her nipples. They were hard. "Are you a lesbian, Kiana?" I finally spoke. ************** It's too hard to know your sexual orientation when you've never fallen for a girl before. Same with Xhey, but does she end up with Yosef or Kiana? Who knows.... During her struggle of getting to know her sexual orientation, lies, depression, drug addiction will be attached to characters, but mostly Xhey. As you approach to the climax of the book, characters refuse to behave, each of them seeking to be the protagonist instead of accepting their role as side characters. *this is mature content. If you're not comfortable reading something with drugs and how it makes one react, then I suggest you find another cup of tea. Started: April 13th, 2020. Completed: August 7th, 2020.

Blood-Moon by SJD_0922

This is a story I am writing on Webnovel, but most people have been complaining about my story because either it is unrealistic or they just don't understand that I do this for fun. So I am going to start reuploading the story here because I have read enough on Wattpad to know my story will go right along well here. A boy who lost his family, and the trust of his town, is finally introduced into a world he had only researched. His life change after he goes down to get a pack of cigars, and he meets a family on this summer day.
