*(COMPLETED) "The worst thing about being lied to is knowing you weren't worth the truth." He bit his lip. "I wanted to te-" His eyes began to water and as a single tear fell he looked at me and said "but what if you've been lying for so long you don't know how to tell the truth?" "I have and so will you." He shook his head, shut his eyes, and leaned his forehead against the glass. "And here I was thinking you would admit that you don't tell the truth either." I gripped the telephone as my knuckles turned white. "What do you mean?" "Come on Zoey I've seen you sneaking around acting like you're busy. You're hiding something and you won't tell me." All Zoey Campbell ever wanted to do was keep her head down and get through high school. Too bad it isn't that easy. Zoey is tired of everything and everyone. She is tired of being pushed around and tired of watching in the shadows. She is tired of pretending to like that girl that doesn't even know her name. Tired of pretending that she is ok when she isn't. She is constantly hoping for a better way out thinking she should just disappear. All she wants to do is scream but no matter how loud she screams no one can hear her. Don't worry things just get worse. Everyone thinks she's a "sick" girl and just another suicide case waiting to happen. I mean what kind of girl sits by herself everyday right? Zoey is running out of time and she thinks no one has tried to help her until her "special" speech in class. No one really cares about what she really thinks anyway. It just that feeling of pity. Everyone thinks she really is sick but she knows she's not. But what if she is? Maybe all it takes is that one thing to make her snap. As her life gets thrown into chaos and deep dark secrets she can't help but try to figure out the truth. Will she find a way to let her new friends save her or will she just end up as another suicide case? *Disclaimer wrote this in 2017 when I was 14.
TERA BHI KATEGA/ YOU TOO WILL GET DUMPED (FLASH FICTIONS) by sapphireruby1918
27 parts Complete
Teenage boys and girls get many chances to fall in love over and over again. They fall in love and overcome from that love very easily. In this phase of life break-up does not hurt much. Friends become happier when someone gets dumped rather than when they get their love. Love rivalry is also very common between classmates and friends. When someone starts feeling for someone, friends become happy. They expect to see a failure. They encourage them but also warn them saying, "Tera Bhi Katega," or "You Too Will Get Dumped." I take the name of this series from a very common phrase of teenagers. In this series I will share some unsuccessful love stories. Don't expect happy ending and don't be sad. These stories are short and crisp just like potato chips. Take these stories lightly as there is nothing wrong in getting dumped or rejected by your crush. These life experiences make the young generation world ready. This series is mainly for BL flash fictions. These stories are unrelated to each other. For my convenient I used seven main characters in this series but they may or may not be the same persons in different stories. There would be no character description as the character of a teenager would change with each passing year or after each failure in love. Enjoy them as they are. If you like these stories please vote and comment. I would reply if you ask questions related to any story or character. These stories are totally fictional; I just took a few references from my daughter's random blabbering about her day at school. Do not match them to any real incident; I may not have any idea of that incident anyway.

In which two ex-step-siblings reconnect after just about blowing up their family the first time around... Three years ago, Maddie fell hard for Jacob Isaacs, the smartest boy in her school. The only problem was this: Her dad had quite literally gotten engaged to his mother. The two tried to dampen the flames of their burgeoning attraction for each other but not before they got caught and were the talk of the town for months. After the fall out, Maddie moved away to try and start her life over and not be known as the girl who got caught doing it with her 'brother' at prom. She hasn't seen her family in ages and intends to keep things that way. Jacob, on the other hand, has worked hard to accomplish everything he's ever dreamed of. He's stayed close to home, done exceptionally well at school, and is adored by just about everyone who meets him. There's only one problem: There's a Maddie-shaped hole where his heart used to be. But no matter how hard he tries to reach out and find her, he can't. She won't let him. He let her down and gave up on them when she needed him most. And she's not ready to forgive and forget. But then Maddie's dad passes and she's forced to come home for his funeral. It should be a quick visit. She intends to make it one. But Jacob has other plans. He let his girl slip through his fingers once and he won't let that happen again. So now he has to convince her to give him one more chance. After all, they're not related to each other anymore.

(This is my second time ever writing a book description, so please just bear with me on this one) Dean Silvers, a 16-year-old boy, abused by his father and suffering from a severe case of suicidal depression, feels no more hope in his life. Rhys Dawn, a 17-year-old boy, supposed to never be stressed or insecure or struggling, actually carries some doubt, fear, and self-consciousness, while hiding it all with his intelligent and hard-working personality. What happens when two childhood friends and supposed opposites fall in love and shit hits the fan? (Some of this doesn't actually work with the semi-improvised plot and storyline, and it truly isn't my best work, so I apologize for the crappy description) Thanks! Enjoy my first non-fanfiction story! WARNING: This story contains elements of suicide, severe depression, sexual harassment, and sexual scenes. Please view with caution, and viewer discretion is advised.
