"You just have no idea." His voice was thick with restraint. "W-what," I breathed. His gaze flicked to my lips as his thumb stroked again. The calloused pad against my soft flesh sent goosebumps down my arms. His once warm eyes were dark as they lifted and bared into my soul. "What you do to... men." His husky whisper weakened my knees. I almost fell but his other hand settled on my hip, pulling me closer to him. "What you do to me," he added on a breath. The hand on my jaw shifted. His fingers left trails of tingles as he slipped them back slowly, under my earlobe and into my curls. *************************************************** As a young girl, Charlotte Avery's favourite pass time was daydreaming about her Prince Charming: Archer Johnson.

"Fuck Bambi, you're so perfect." "Do you hate me?" I ask, he grazed my cheek, his eyes looking back into mine as he lowered his head, his lips grazing mine. "You could kill me and I'd still crawl back to you, dead or not." "I don't know what love is, but fuck, if what we have is love than I want nothing else but it." ---- Ashform Reform Institute isn't a school-it's a sentence. A prison disguised as a second chance, where every student has blood on their hands, a crime on their record, and a secret they'd kill to keep buried. Elavenna Vale doesn't belong here. At least, that's what she tells herself. But survival at Ashform means playing by its rules-stay quiet, don't ask questions, and never trust the wrong person. Especially not Rook Elias Vaughn. He's chaos in human form. A fighter with bruised knuckles, secrets none knows, and a secret life. He has his own reasons for being here, and Venna should stay far, far away. Unfortunately, that seems impossible when they have to share a dorm. But when students start vanishing, and the school's walls close in like a noose, she realizes something horrifying-the worst monsters aren't locked outside. They're already here. And if Venna isn't careful, she'll be next. ---- #1 - Reform School

In which an eccentric college freshman keeps failing her driving test because a certain grumpy instructor doesn't seem like he wants her to pass. *** "Hey, don't make it obvious, but there are these guys behind us, and they've been checking us out for the last five minutes." Karla whispered, leaning over the table. "I don't care about guys!" I whined. "I'm more worried about my asshole instructor. Like what's his deal? If my parents find out I've been failing all these tests, I'll never get a license, let alone a decent car." Karla's eyes remained fixed on that table. "Um, I think one of them is motioning for us." Without bothering to look, I flipped my middle finger in the general direction of the table behind me. Karla gasped, quickly reaching over to pull my hand down as a burst of laughter erupted from behind. "Don't do that!" she hissed. "It's rude." I rolled my eyes and finally turned around to see what their deal was. My eyes widened, and I instantly whipped back around, my hand flying to cover my face. "Oh crap. I did not just curse him." "What...?" Karla raised a brow, confused by the sudden change in my demeanor. I gave her a mortified stare. "That's my instructor!" *** [a story inspired by a reel] Ranked 3 on #hefellfirst Ranked 2 on #grumpyxsunshine

Evelyn Sable liked order, she craved it. And, for all intents and purposes, she was good at maintaining it. At least, that was what she thought. When Tristan Montgomery first walked through the library doors, she hadn't known that he wouldn't just be walking into the library, but into her life. What she really didn't know that with his presence, he would steal any semblance of order she had. What she last expected, though, was that while stealing her order... he'd end up stealing her heart. ✧✧✧ She cleared her throat. "How about we settle on not today?" "Hmm?" he murmured, looking into her hazel eyes, which she hoped appeared as earnest as she felt in that moment. "Sometimes, you're just not ready to be open about something personal, and that's okay. So, instead, tell me someday, just not today," she said. "Not Today?" he said as if testing the words, before a smile settled upon his face. "I like that."

{ Previously known as Star Shopping} She fell too hard and he couldn't catch her. But when he was ready, she was already slipping away.

Romero, struggling to push through the day to day life of his world: court bills, money, family, money, the past, money, his own mind, and more money. Carmen has been pushing to become a lawyer her whole life; wanting to be taken seriously in a field dominated by men is not easy though, and if putting up a front to be taken seriously is what it takes, then so be it.

"I haven't even done anything to you and you're already crying." Xavier murmurs. I can only sob harder in response. "You're going to show everyone aren't you?" He grabs a lock of my hair, almost endearingly and tucks it behind my ear. "If I was going to show everyone, I would have done it already." "Then delete the video." I say, hating how wildly desperate I sound. "I'm begging you please, Xavier." Those last two words hang in the air between us in a way I don't fully understand. Xavier tilts his head slightly and there's a darkness that's filtering through his gaze. It makes my face burn under his scorching stare. ───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───── When Isa Carrow transfers from Oakbridge Highschool to Cedora Hills Private Highschool, with the help of her rich aunt, she believes that she is granted an opportunity at a fresh start, a way for her to redeem herself and prove that her past does not define her.

Will he go through with it and kill the annoying girl that's been plaguing his mind? ҉ "Why are you smiling all the fucking time?" "Because why would I frown and make someone's day worse, when I can smile and possibly make it better?" She looks up at me with her big eyes. Her eyebrows furrowing like she's deep in thought. "Why are you always frowning?" I shrug, pulling her closer by her hips, "Because why would I smile and have people think they should come up and talk to me, when I can frown and silently tell them to fuck off?" Only her. I think, she's the only one I want to come up and talk to me. ҉ Cover inspo: Bazookah ҉ 🥇Lace 08/27/23 🥇Innocent 10/21/23 🥇Lace 01/05/24 🥇Alcohol 01/09/24 🥇Tumor 06/06/24 🥇Alcoholism 01/14/24
