She never wanted to be here. Forced to leave her sunny life in California for the cold, gritty streets of Stohess Bay, she's trying to keep her head down and survive high school without getting caught in drama. But when she crosses paths with two boys who are as different as night and day, her carefully laid plans go up in flames. One is the brooding, smooth-talking bad boy with a penchant for chaos. The other? The quiet, intense type who's hiding more than just his demons. They couldn't be more opposite, but the sparks between them and her are undeniable when their worlds collide, lines are crossed, alliances are tested, and everything gets messy. Now she's tangled in a game of tension, lust, and the kind of attraction that makes everything feel too dangerous to handle. But as the clash intensifies, will she be able to choose a side, or will she get burned in the process?... CLASH: Some people are just meant to collide... Started: 12/3/2025

[Jean Kirstein x Reader] College AU ╔══ ❀•°❀°•❀ ══╗ For twelve long years, she has fought against Jean Kirstein, the brilliant, insufferable academic rival who seems to always be one step ahead. Their rivalry is a quiet storm, the kind that brews in classrooms and library corners, sharp words and silent glances exchanged across chalkboards. She has never needed anyone, least of all him, until now. Desperate to pass Calculus, a subject she has long avoided, she swallows her pride and turns to him for help. It's not easy, surrendering to a man who knows her every weakness, her every flaw, and yet, as they spend late nights in the glow of desk lamps, something shifts between them. In the space between lessons and equations, an unexpected friendship is born-fragile at first, like the delicate curve of an unsolved formula. But as the days pass, it grows, complicated and tender, until the lines between competition and affection blur. [Caution] Drugs, smoking, cursing, ect
