In a world where you are assigned a primary emotion at birth... judged your whole life. Ridiculed.
*
Anthony Tyson Atkins.
"I was assigned "Anxious."
I am constantly in a zombie apocalypse. Fight or flight mode. I have always had a preference for 'flight', because it makes me feel safe in a dog eat dog world.
I AM AFRAID.
Is that a second emotion? Yeah, we have emotions related to our primary. Terrifying. And being the only negative emotion in my family... I deserve a break. If I had a dime for every recessive gene that befell me, I could legally change my emotion. I'm not kidding."
Anthony, a cynical, sarcastic, and anxious sophmore struggles to cope with his identity. He was assigned 'anxious' at birth and constantly resides in fear, often isolating himself from the world and cursing to what he was born as. He must learn to accept his fate by interacting with his family, facing fears, meeting other conflicting emotions and face awkward day-to-day situations under his own discovery that maybe living life as a negative emotion isn't so terrible after all.

"And I am always correct, today proved it again. First love will always be the last." "Because you're either too damaged or too stuck," he smirked as he continued, "So which one is it?" Aquila Augustus Ashworth was the kind of person who had the pretty face, held the highest of honors in his academics, one of the best in poetry, an English rich family with Italian roots, with a not so pretty twists, a circle of friends enough to give him enough "street smarts" and most of all, perhaps his greatest gift, having a trustworthy person beside him, his childhood friend Kyleigh Frances "Kiwi" Winters, a beautiful mature girl with a height deficiency, complimenting her cute childlike face, a person adored and dreamed by many. But there was more to him hidden beneath his bright emerald eyes. He has that special talent to what people can describe or comparable to a psychologists`. But though he has that special talent, it misses one vital thing, he lacks to understand his. Soon he finds himself entrapped in the brink of falling a cliff leading to oblivion, between something perfect that can lead to Eden, or what can lead to its fall due to his ignorance to his own emotions. And with the tests of fate, the walls trapping him starts pushing him to the pit. The walls of his one new found ideal: "First love`s the last." Will he fall into the pit? I wonder.Complete
Taming the Cheerleaders...
Sam: 'Let's have a private chat and no one will come to know.' Aims: 'What do you mean?! :P' Sam: 'I mean you get me high and make me explode and no one has to know.' Aims: 'Okay.....let's start. Are you nude?' My life has been through........ Not really it has not been through anything dramatic except one accident that threw me out of my ex-school and sends me away to another town. So right now what am I doing? I am chatting with one of the present student of my ex-school, Sam. He is the guy I never got to know when I was in school; and now apparently I know a lot about him. He has a thing for sex but he actually is a virgin! You can say a desperate one. People say that there is one turn in everyone's life which changes everything. True! But not in my case; this is my story. With a lot of twist, turns, fights, kisses, slaps, dance, jealousy, drama, cat fights, parties and everything a teenage life has. But the only thing is, there were a lot of these emotions running around freely in the hallway, apparently I was the one to put them into correct lockers. Friends change everything in you. You can share anything with them, everything with them. My best friend changed me, made me see who I was (a total bitch) until now I was going back to her, to change her, to put her into her correct place; with me. Let's just say, it all started when my aunt came to me for a favor.......... Β© All Rights Reserved.Complete
You Are My Soulmate
You're ecstatic when you find out you have five soul indicators at midnight on the day of your twenty-first birthday, right before you start Officer Candidate School for the Navy in Rhode Island. OCS is so complex you can't devote time to searching for your soulmate. On graduating from Officer Candidate School, Naval Aviation Command School, and Aviation Maintenance School at the top of your class, you are given the primary selection of detachment and travel worldwide as an Aviation Maintenance Duty Officer. The excitement you felt on your twenty-first birthday has changed over the past seven years, and you're impatient to see who your soul is. After years of constant movement, it's a relief to learn you have been assigned to run maintenance on a squadron's planes out of Naval Air Station North Island. San Diego is sunny and gorgeous, an absolute dream after being stuck on an aircraft carrier in the middle of the ocean for the past six months. The Dagger Squad is a newly-permanent squadron based out of NAS North Island. Each member welcomed you to Miramar as a part of their maintenance crew with warmth and friendliness. Except for one pilot, callsign: Rooster. He's the most unpleasant pilot you've ever met. He's full of himself, cocky, arrogant, rude, and condescending. If only he didn't feel so familiar. If only you didn't feel so drawn to him. β Crossposted on AO3 and Tumblr! β
His Heart to Love
"Been about you, since I met you and imma keep it that way" You're special to me. You're the only one who I wouldn't mind losing sleep for, the only one who I can never get tired of talking to, and the only one who crosses my mind constantly throughout the day. You're the only one who can make me smile without trying, bring down my mood without the intention to and affect my emotions with every action of yours. I can't explain with just words how much you mean to me, but you're the only one I'm afraid of losing and the one I want to keep in my life. So, please don't leave me. ~April 18, 2021 ~July 21, 2021 Rankings: #4 in mentaldisorder 9/16/2021 #6 in highschoolsweethearts 9/16/2021 #38 in urban 9/16/2021 #14 in blacklove 9/16/2021 #5 in angerissues 9/16/2021 #12 in urbanromance 9/16/2021 #3 in bwbm 9/16/2021 #20 in contemporarylit 9/16/2021 #29 in urbanstory 9/16/2021 #2 in africanamerican 9/16/2021Complete

Life's Partner// Thales Series#3βοΈ
All I wanted to do was change, change for the better. I just wanted to be a non-murdering, non-gangleader, non-player teenager but no. I just had to do things the hard way. Now I'm stuck in the chamber with a second generation demigod, who by the way calls me chicken, facing the past in real definition. Would it be so difficult to believe I was sent here by a titan? By the Roman Titan of Life. Yep and if by some chance I survive this, I'll have another crazy god/goddess, who's name I don't know, that wants to kill me for whatever reason. Yes just my life. Why couldn't I just be a normal teenage? 1) Death's Partner 2)Love's Partner 3)Life's PartnerComplete
