Everyone knows the common English phrase "to be honest" or just "tbh" on the Internet. Hailee Desmond is an Internet addict. She has an account on almost every social website, including ask.fm, where the phrase is used most often.
Every day, Hailee checks her profile to see if she has any new questions or likes...or maybe she'll drop in by her friend's account and ask her an extremely personal question. Or maybe just to pull a funny prank.
One day, however, Hailee gets a "to be honest" from an anonymous user. Out of curiosity, she begins trying to figure who this user is. After many messages, the two finally begin to trust each other. But when identities are revealed, promises are broken and everything goes downhill from there.
Will time heal, just like everyone says?

His face hovered over mine, much closer than I was used to. His gaze didn't leave mine as he spoke. "It would have been different if I had told him from the start. You wanted me to lie for you. You started this. If we tell him what really happened, he would be pissed at me for lying to him." "Stormie, you got a phone call!" Mason yelled up the stairs. The closeness between Avery and me started to make my legs feel like Jell-O, and I couldn't make sense of it. Our breathing became heavier. His eyes trapped mine. "Answer him," Avery murmured. "Uh," I stammered. I cleared my throat. "Be down in a minute!" My voice came out higher than usual. My gaze still couldn't escape Avery's. My heart raced wildly as his chest rose and fell against mine. Avery's gaze flickered to my lips. What's happening? My gaze fell to his mouth, which was moving closer to mine.

No Regrets {COMPLETED}
Tapping my pencil on my desk, I wondered what it'd be like to become Reema for a day. Despite the fact that she's being abused by both herself and her parents to add on, but how it's be to be loved by Harry. Even though that Harry didn't ACTUALLY love her, but even being lied to my face being told that he loves me would be amazing. Don't get me wrong, but I kind of think it's pathetic at how she's saying she'll harm herself to death because of depression if he breaks up with her or even admits that he stays up all night just to text me. Why is she so addicted to Harry when it comes to him having female friends? I just wonder... **THIS STORY IS NOT STOLEN. IF IT IS TO BE USED, MENTION ME IN COPYRIGHT.** By the way, I bring all the boys of One Direction in very slowly, so keep an eye out for the description of your favorite ;)Complete

Like most things, it all started with hello. Desmond Florence, a junior at Myrefalls Private Highschool, has crushed on his neighbor and fellow classmate, Lauren Everoad, since the beginning of freshman year. But he had never found the courage to say anything to her, despite his seemingly easy going personality. Until one day when he stumbled across her phone number. After months of mulling it over, Desmond sent an anonymous text message which changed everything. Lauren, Hi, this is probably very weird- scratch that, this is really creepy now that I think about it- but I've had a crush on you for a while now. I guess you could say I'm your secret admirer! Anyways, I found your phone number a while back (on your desk- I'm not a stalker or anything!) and wanted to get to know you without being face to face (when I'm nervous I say really stupid things so I couldn't risk it haha...) I get it if you don't respond or even read this, it is creepy now that I'm thinking about it... but I can prove that I'm a good guy if you'll give me a chance :) Sincerely, FriendComplete
