"Sometimes, the hardest thing is stepping away from the familiar... and discovering who you are on your own terms."

October Reid has always preferred the sidelines. Safe spaces, quiet places, and a few trusted friends have been her world. But this year, something stirs within her-a question she can't ignore: What if there's more out there for me?

"You know we've got your back, October."
"I know. But this time... I think I want to try."

In the chaos of high school events, bustling hallways, and new clubs full of eager faces, October faces choices she's never made before. With each step forward, she feels the thrill-and fear-of challenging her own limits. And as she dives into new experiences, she realizes that stepping outside her comfort zone might lead her to the one person she's yet to truly know: herself.

A moving story about finding the courage to explore, the power of friendship, and discovering that sometimes, the greatest adventure is figuring out who you really want to be.All Rights Reserved

Riley agrees to befriend Emily so that Allison can rest easy once she leaves for college. But things get complicated when she finds herself falling for her. Will she be able to resolve her own struggles while drawing Emily out of her shell? And how long can she keep her growing feelings hidden? Told from alternating points of view, Can I Have That in Writing? explores teenage struggles with identity, self-acceptance, and emotions that one might not be able to express through words alone.

She Belongs To The King | ✓ by crystal5466

"She's hot." "Yeah, I know. I'm kinda jealous..." "I'm gonna ask her out." "Are you crazy? You're asking for a death wish." "What's so wrong with me asking her out?" "Everything! You just can't." "Why!?" "Because she belongs to the king." - Mia White was just an ordinary girl that walked the face of earth. She was who people looked up to. She had good grades, was the kindest person you'd ever meet, and was breathtakingly beautiful. Everyone in ClearHills Academy loved her. But, there were also some who feared and despised her. Some people hated Mia because she was known as 'little miss perfect' and because she was claimed by the one who practically owned everything. Besides her best friend, Sarah, not many people approached her. Most people feared that if they were to do something wrong, it would anger him. And that was the last thing people wanted. Ace King was someone not to mess with. His father owns a powerful company that he would soon take over. He was what parents told their kids not become. He was the bad boy of ClearHills Academy. Ever since Ace first laid eyes on her as kids, she was what he wanted most. Mia was the only person who he'd drop on his knees and bow down to, she was the only person he cared not to be feared by. She was the only who could tame him. - "What is it dear? Do you want something else?" his mother asked, looking down to see his attention focused on something. Or rather, someone. "Her," he said, pointing at a girl, sitting on a small wooden stool with a book in her hands. "I want her." - ❝Everyone knows she belongs to him.❞ - WARNING [ contains mature language ] Highest Ranking #1 - 01/27/18 | Billionaire #1 - 02/01/18 | Romance STARTED on November 7, 2017

Lukas is trouble, Isabella way too good to be his type, but still they can't stay away from each other. ❄️ "Lukas, are you hugging me? Is coldhearted Lukas hugging a girl?" My drunk tongue blurted out. "Shut up, I'm just keeping you from falling face down in the toilet." He whispered in my ear and I felt his breath against my skin. "Yeah right. You are soooo hugging me." I teased him knowing he was indeed hugging me, but he was too stubborn to admit it. "No, I'm not." He said, pulling me even closer to him before curving his lips against the skin behind my ear. He's such a goner... ❄️ NOTE: 👀 please ignore the way the first ten chapters are written. First book ever and that's noticeable. It gets so much better after those I promise.

Long Story Short, The Condom Broke ✔️ by prinses1010

There's a story behind every person. There's a reason why they're the way they are. They aren't just like that because they want to.

She's stepping into a new phase of her life with just her older sister to care for her. Life can get a little bit tricky if you just got kicked out of the house. Why? Just keep on reading my dear reader. Liam Wells has a cliché story. He's rich, school's bad boy, leader of the D&D's ( Devils Deciple ) and he's got the looks of course. But no cliché boy has a story like his. It all starts with a chicken nugget. It's amazing what a chicken nugget can do. Follow the rollercoaster that's waiting for the both of them. Drama, loss and humor all combined in one adventure. This is : Long Story Short, The Condom Broke By: prinses1010 Word count (108,000 words) Currently being edited!!!

Growing Pains by actuallyitsmonica

In the day-to-day trenches of high school, it is almost the default-setting to believe we are the main character of our own coming-of-age story. This is not wrong. It's just ours isn't the only story there is. The jocks, the nerds, the cheerleaders, the losers, the stoners, the fangirls, the skaters. Everyone's the realest most important person in existence, all of them, at the same time, first-person narrators to their own stories, stumbling into each other's plot lines, defying the status-quo, catalysts to ups and downs. A deconstruction of all the high school tropes and cliches written over the years, a deep-dive into the psyche of students trying to finish high school while going through irrevocable self-discovery, the most improbable of connections, and the insufferable pains of growing up.

Nothings Ever As Perfect As It Seems by Olivia_Martin1

Jack Reid thought he had all the time in the world to figure things out like how to win over Mia Sinclair, the girl he's been hopelessly in love with since freshman year. But senior year is flying by, and Mia still looks at him like he's nothing more than a punchline. All his grand gestures, cheesy jokes, and late-night confessions have gotten him nowhere. It's fine, though. Jack's always had Quinn Stephens, his best friend since forever. She's the one who knows him better than anyone, the one who calls him out on his ridiculous plans, and the one who's always there to pick up the pieces when things with Mia inevitably fall apart. But lately, Jack's started to notice things about Quinn he never did before the way her laughter lingers in his head, how her eyes catch the light just right, and the way her voice feels like home. For the first time, Jack begins to question everything he thought he wanted. Maybe Mia isn't the girl of his dreams. Maybe it's Quinn. Maybe she's been the one all along. But just as Jack starts to imagine what life could be like if he took the risk, time seems to run out faster than he ever expected. Because some moments can't be undone. Some chances only come once. And some love stories don't get the ending you think they will. Nothings Ever As Perfect As It Seems is a bittersweet, unforgettable tale about love, loss, and realizing what matters most before it's too late. For readers who believe in love stories that break your heart and put it back together in the most unexpected ways.

Mia met Trevor, Liam and Sebastian in 5th grade. At the time she thought they were sore losers, but they soon turned into her bestie boys. Mia is adored and loved by her boys through the years. They are there for every moment and memory. College is approaching and her boys have secrets they need to share. Will these secrets tear their friendship apart or will Mia decide she can't live without her bestie boys? ***** Mia My dad used to tell me stories of princesses and knights in shining armor. It's one of the only memories I have of him. I'm thankful for those stories because I was able to recognize a real knight when I saw one. I met three on a kickball field in 5th grade. They were sweaty, dusty and clad in athletic clothing instead of armor, but they were real knights. Not the fairy tale kind from books and fables, but the kind of knights that support your dreams and encourage your growth. This is just the start of the story for this princess and her knights. ***** Bestie Boys is a full length novel and can be read as a stand alone, but suggested reading order is: #1 Cassidy and Carter #2 Bestie Boys #3 Sentinel Boys Bestie boys is a reverse harem #whychoose romance. Mia will not have to chose between her love interests. This book does contain sexual content and is made for viewers over the age of 18. Stand alone, multiple POV, 59,000 words with a HEA🖤
