  But when she accidentally gets closer to Cathy, it slowly gets tougher to keep quiet about the bullying she witnesses each day. Cathy seems to be pulling further away from everyone and has no desire to bring a teacher into her mess and make things complicated. But Eva is finding it harder to keep quiet with all the guilt building up around her and when she finds out the creator of the website is much closer to her than she thought, doing the right thing seems almost impossible. 
  
  With her 'friends' telling her to keep quiet, Cathy falling away and her own guilt pulling at her, Eva has to decide if speaking out is really worth it or if she should just listen to everyone and stay a simple bystander.All Rights Reserved

Finding True North by InsaneUniverse

Ethan Parker is just starting his senior year of high school, a time that's supposed to be filled with excitement, anticipation, and a little bit of chaos. But for Ethan, this year is different-it's a year of self-discovery and hidden struggles. Growing up in a small, close-knit town where everyone knows each other, Ethan has always felt the pressure to conform and meet everyone's expectations. But deep down, he's grappling with a secret he's not ready to share with the world: his confusion about his sexual identity. As rumors about Ethan and his new friend, Chris, begin to swirl around school, Ethan's world quickly turns upside down. Caught between the harsh judgments of his peers and his own internal battles, Ethan finds himself questioning who he is and where he fits in. His close-knit group of friends-Jenna Thompson, Liam Carter, Aiden Murphy, and Sophie Patel-stand by his side, offering unwavering support and encouragement. However, even their loyalty can't shield him from the pain of navigating high school while wrestling with his true self. Amid the taunts and gossip, Ethan must confront his feelings and decide whether to reveal his truth or keep hiding behind a mask of uncertainty. As the days turn into weeks and weeks into months, Ethan's journey becomes one of resilience, self-acceptance, and the struggle to embrace his identity in a world that doesn't always understand. Beneath the Surface is a poignant story about the fear of being different, the courage it takes to be yourself, and the power of friendship to help you find your way. In his final year of high school, Ethan must decide whether to let the waves of rumor and doubt pull him under or to rise above and be true to who he really is.

They Say Opposites Attract by Akari_Cyro

"They say opposites attract," but this is ridiculous! Sumiko Areko is a girl with a past. And not just any past. After having transferred to every school in the city at least once, she arrives at the school without a voice. And not in the way most people would think. In Sumiko's case, she has no voice. This was due to a surgical removing of her vocal cords after they were almost fatally damaged. After being bullied constantly for being mute, she meets some people. People who change the course of her life. For better. Or worse. (TW: Some topics mentioned in this story involve things that include, but are not limited to, suicide, self-harm, bullying, and other painful subjects.
