"Where do you think you are going?" Locaine's lips are mere inches from my ear. A shiver traveling from the base of my spine to the strait of my neck at his hypnotic voice.

"I don't want to play this type of game with you," my voice falters briefly, thoughts raking through my mind at the many possibilities to the outcome of succumbing to him.

Locaine backs off me more or less, only to toss me around, pushing my back up against the door. His sculpted chest presses against mine as he flashes me a coy smile, "I haven't even explained the game yet and you already want to leave."

Seeing Shane Gray ✓

| a true story about a boy who hides his pain behind his smile and a girl determined to see it |

- FREE story with paid Exclusive Chapters and Writer Reveals - Twice Featured -

Taylor Ming is trying to cope with the aftermath of her twin brother's suicide, and her depressed mother and avoidant father aren't really helping. With one of her friends' self-harming while another deals with a chronically ill boyfriend, being diagnosed with Diabetes and forced to use insulin thrice a day is Taylor's worst nightmare.

When she catches the school's golden boy Shane Gray popping pills in a bathroom, then, Taylor is sure she's in a living hell. Is he depressed? Is he using drugs? She's afraid of losing more people and strikes a deal with Shane. He'll tell her if he ever has the urge to hurt himself and she'll keep his secret.

What neither of them knows, however, is that he's already hurting himself without knowing it. And Shane's life is falling apart quicker than Taylor's.

Because life isn't black and white and, sometimes, seeing gray can make all the difference.

Warning: The story talks about suicide, self-harm, drug use, and mental health problems which may be triggering for some readers.


It's Not What It Looks Like

In which the popular boy attempts to use an exchange student to make his ex girlfriend jealous, but his ex ends up (fake) dating the exchange student instead.

-

After nearly three years of breaking and making up with her ex-boyfriend, all that Silena Valentine wants is some peace and quiet. Instead, she gets Mena Skelin- a handful of a temporary roommate, whose otherwise extensive vocabulary doesn't seem to include either of those words. Soon enough, Silena finds herself volunteering to do things she never would have even imagined: like kissing someone in front of the entire school, and catching very real feelings for her very fake girlfriend.

And the latter kind of sucks, since she's pretty certain that Mena is only doing this in order to get revenge at the boy she actually likes.

But then again, everything isn't always what it looks like.

The Art of Defiance | ✔

Lady Eleanor Cantwell, daughter of the Marquess of Salford, is a proper young lady. With her golden complexion, raven-black hair, and manners befitting a princess, Lady Eleanor has always been deemed a belle. There is just one problem.

Lady Eleanor Cantwell is Indian.

Having been adopted from India when Lady Salford found herself unable to bear a child, Lady Eleanor is shunned by society, including her mother, on account of her true heritage. The ladies turn their noses at her and the gentlemen only wish for her virtue which she clings to dearly. They certainly have no wish to wed an Indian girl, no matter how pretty she is!

Which is why the entire ton is incredulous when a young man - a duke, no less! - offers his hand in marriage to the young daughter of the Marquess of Salford. Lady Eleanor finds it quite hard to believe that any gentleman would wish to marry her and instead of feeling grateful, all she feels is remorse and anger. A husband would only bring with him a mountain of restrictions that were detrimental to her plans of travelling the world - the land of her ancestors, in particular.

So, when her parents sell her off to the duke, she realises that she no longer cares for society, her beloved father, or her reputation. And when the duke makes her an enticing offer, she realises she would have to abandon all sense of propriety, manners, and rules to do what he asks of her.

She would have to defy.

The terms were simple- or maybe just simple in theory. They each get three lifelines. A hookup whenever they needed no questions asked.

Ender Lockwood-King did not expect his newest fuck buddy to be UCLA's golden boy. Ender could not stand golden boys. In fact, he despised them. They represented everything he was meant to be, but wasn't.

They arrive at an agreement to be friends with benefits, but it becomes more complicated as their relationship reveals truths about themselves. Ender must confront his inability to form emotional connections, while Saint must decide if this relationship is worth leaving the closet for.

"Why were you mad at him?" she inquired, trailing behind me.

"Why? Because I don't share, Strega," I responded, my tone laced with possessiveness. "I would tear apart anyone who dares to come near you," I added, my voice seething with anger.

"Why? I mean, it's not like we have something going on," she muttered, clearly taken aback.

"I don't care. I simply do not share what belongs to me," I declared, my fury intensifying.

"I'm not an object or a possession, Gio. I will-"

"Enough! You are mine, and that is final," I growled, cutting her off abruptly.

Gracie & Gray

This isn't a story for the faint of heart.

This is a story about a girl who loved a boy.

A boy who couldn't love her back.

This is a story about the bitter, the sweet, betrayals, second chances, and redemption.

If your heart doesn't hurt by the end of this wreckage, then I haven't done my job properly.


Nobody But You

To Adriana, her last year in college couldn't get any better - she was in the top of her class, her school radio show was ranked the college's most listened student-ran show, and she was already getting offers for jobs. Her life was stress-free, especially since she had one thing NOT to worry about - a boyfriend.

Unlike most girls, Adriana never expressed feelings for wanting a boyfriend. She actually never planned to date. And after a few bad experiences, she knew why. To her, guys were just immature and never knew what they wanted until the one they felt they needed was already gone, and she didn't have time for the drama.

But, after one great moment with Samuel Davis, University of Southern California's hottest male student, and their star basketball player, she thinks she may have a change of heart. What will happen after these two have a few interactions? Will Adri give LOVE a chance, or will she remain the same?

"No. I can't." I say. My eyes wander down towards his chest. I just now notice that he isn't wearing a shirt. I refocus my eyes back to his face, my cheeks getting hot.

"We live in California. How do you not know how to swim? There are beaches everywhere."
___________________________________________

It was the last summer before college. For Rae, this meant making memories with her best friends and vacationing till she forgot the last four miserable years of high school. After taking school too seriously and planning all the right steps for college, Rae takes advantage of the time off.

For Grayson, this last summer meant deciding if he really wants to spend the next four years being a star-athlete swimmer in college to please his overbearing father, or pursue his true passion of wildlife and spend the next year traveling the world. He takes a vacation with his friends to get away from it all, hoping he will get lay back and relax.

When a boat ride and a crazy storm leave the two stranded on a deserted island, everything takes a turn for the worst. Rae and Grayson must adapt to the island around them and depend on each other for survival. Rae and Grayson always knew of each other, being friends of each other's friends, but never about each other. With Rae's panic and paranoia and Grayson's laid back outlook they might seem like an unlikely pairing, but the blazing sun and time away from the outside world just may bring them closer together.

The Summer of Grey

"I think, as friends, it's important to tell each other where we've been," he said, grabbing a towel and wiping off the wet paint that smeared my cheeks.

My breath hitched at the touch. Being this close to him, I couldn't breathe, think. He smiled a genuine smile.

"W-we're not friends," I managed to say once he washed the towel out.

"We could be," he said.

I shook my head.

"Ashley-"

He scoffed before eyeing me, his tall build towering over me. His bright blue eyes glistened as they stared into my brown ones.

"Forget her. She doesn't matter to me."

And before I knew it, his lips were crashing onto mine.

A betrayal lures her out of refuge and into her journey home, where she must unmask her enemies before they unmask her. The theurgy that she has had to keep hidden for many years can be her greatest ally or her most lethal foil.

Only her wits can guide her through the dangerous politics of the Surikh court. But amidst the plots and schemes bubbling around her, she uncovers something far more sinister than the identity of her enemies. Something that can change her entire life; indeed, entire kingdoms.

The only question he had for his father was; What Will It Take?

She shouted. She was annoyed at how mean he was toward her.

❝Sometimes you don't have to be Superman or Spiderman to save a soul. You just have to dress as a guy.❞

Parents and troubled looks are always a bad combination.

Just like how getting bankrupt and asking to dress as a guy are a bad combination.

Mission objectives:

1. Befriend unfriendly, cold, rich loner.

2. Make him social.

3. Get the hell out of this all boys school.

But some things go unplanned just like how the mission gets altered a 'teeny' bit.

Like, for e.g.,

1. Make friends.

2. Become one of the boys.

3. Make her roommate 'life of the party.'

4. Have the time of her life.

5. And maybe, just maybe... fall in love.

The Price Of Humanity (TMOE #3)

Is unconditional adoration really too much to ask?

Lucius sold his soul to change the world for the better. Of course, the definition of 'better' may have twisted over the years, but how is that his fault? After being torn away from the (one and ONLY, by the way) love of his life, some retaliation should be expected if not strictly required, and after finding the corpse of his dead friend walking around, shouldn't some crowbar-related maiming be forgiven? Oh, and after housing a parasitic vein infestation in his chest, shouldn't at least one tiny, horribly unethical blood ritual or two be justified?

Apparently some would disagree, which seems strange to Lucius and the second Lucius inside Lucius' head.

Never & Forever

She was a singer. He was a painter. Both were artists...

Elle.

That was the name the world knew her by. But that was not really her name, and no one knew who she really was, except for the fact that she was a well known singer and songwriter.

At twenty, Michelle left the small town she knew, wanting more for herself and to explore more outside of the small town of Maven she grew up in. By twenty one, she was known as the new and upcoming R&B artist from her first self-released debut.

Over the years she traveled from place to place for all her performances. By the time she was able to take a break from her overwhelming life as a musician, she realized that she was able to keep her past behind her. But, it was now four years since she left Maven, Virginia, and an unexpected text from her mother changed that all.

She found out her sister was getting married and that she needed to be there. Going back to her hometown four years later she was sure to get an earful from her family for her abrupt disappearance.

But, that wouldn't be all she'd have to explain...
