The thing is Mercy has a passion, a passion that could not be put out  through bullying.  She aspires to be a dancer, but is afraid to fail. That is until during sophomore year her friends and a handsome new boy show her the endless possibilities of what she can do, and that she should not be afraid to speak. {Unedited}

The Unnoticed, Noticed by that_one_escapist

Also Available On Inkitt "Can I ask you something?" She asked softly. "Sure," he smiled. She looked up at him. "Why did you want to be my friend? I mean, there were so many people to choose from. Why me? I'm not even worth it." "You looked so lonely. So sad, so hidden. You looked like you were so used to being silent. But I knew there was more to it than what meets the eye. I wanted to decode the mystery." He looked deep into her eyes. "So what do you want?" She held his gaze, even though she hated eye contact. He smiled softly and sang, "All I wanna be, all I ever wanna be, is somebody to you." ________________________________________________ Darkness and shadows were all she ever saw. She lived in silence, her whole world a monochromatic display that only she could see. Her red rimmed glasses only made clearer her strife and the elastic band on her left wrist reminded her of her long lived sorrow. She hid from the world, going unnoticed by everyone, slowly crumbling to dust on her own. That was all until one faithful day when someone did the unthinkable and decided that she was worth noticing. She was the girl in the grey hoodie. And he was someone who cared. Take your mind on a journey of two unique souls, sprinkle in a little friendship, a teaspoon of tears, a spoon of laughter and fun and maybe a pinch of violence and love with a hint of secrets. And while you wait for that delicious cake to bake, a good sing along won't hurt.

Mercy[BEING REWRITTEN] by Rubygirl28

*In the process of being rewritten so sorry if there is some inconsistency in the quality* Mercy Willows never knew what was coming. She never knew that her dad was suicidal her whole life. And most importantly, she didn't know her sister blamed her for it. But Mercy was too late. And the world came crashing down on her. For the past 2 years she put up with it, kept her mouth shut in front of everyone. Made sure she seemed like the quiet and shy kid. Made sure she was never the centre of attention. She let people bully and tease her relentlessly for her name and looks. She let everyone treat her as if she was nothing. She was all by herself and the one most important thing was that no one could be her friend except herself. Except everyone has a breaking point. So Mercy runs away. And little did she know the events to come.

Our note by dancecatman

"Ry Ry pls wear your shirt on the bus - xx your secret admirer" Jessie read her not aloud "Jessie, he'll probably just laugh." Clara said "I'm still going to do it. Like you said shoot for the stars!" I said pointing to the school roof "Wait, she's never said that." Tyler said confused as usual "Whatever" I rolled my eyes ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Jessie likes Ryan, the most popular boy in school. But rainee is good enough, the class nerd but she isn't smart. She's awkward and is always hanging out with her two friends, they're infamous for that. Her two friends have famous boyfriends but she's a no one. So Jessie thought she would have a very normal high school experience until tragedy broke (Now a Clara Mae and timothee chalamet fic!) (Very extremely cliche,) (social media and dialogue) This book is satire LOL Complete

Quarterback (NEWLY UPDATED) by unknow900

"Because you're smart and I know you wouldn't tell anyone." He gulped. No, he knew because I didn't have anyone to tell. "What's in it for me?" I ask. He thinks for a second. Did he think I would just agree to this? "I can make you popular." He suggests. I chuckle and shake my head. I don't want any attention. "We can act like we are dating?" He suggests again and I laugh so hard. "What's so funny? You don't want to date me?" He looks hurt. ~ Noah Knox Noah. He plays Quarterback on the football team, he's smoking hot, and has a lot of friends. No one says no to him. He has everything anyone could ask for. What else could he want?

Cynical Souls by DramaQueenforreal

COMPLETED✅ Two high school teenagers finding themselves, analyzing this ever changing world, and building love. This is the type of love you wish you found in high school but probably know way too well that it only exists as fiction. Today I'm turning my fiction to reality. ❣️•••❣️ Excerpt: Just as I was about to seek shelter under some building's roof, the tires of a car come to a halt, I wonder who might pity the lonely girl walking in the rain. The passenger window rolls down, and I spot the most unexpected person seated behind the wheel. "Get in" comes out his voice, and I must've stood there agape for a few moments because next comes his rhetorical question. "Are you getting in or continuing walking in the rain?" Eyebrows raised expectantly. He sounds annoyed, like he regrets his decision to ever stop and help me. ❣️•••❣️ #5 in cynical #2 in loveandfriendship #1 in opinionated #4 in ihatelife #10 in nerdgirl #10 in HighschoolRomance #26 in GoodGirlBadBoy *contains mature themes. *contains cursing.
