He never meant to blackmail her. He just didn't know how else to make her see him. Justin's invisible at school: it's online he spends his nights gaming with people who actually get him. Zelda's the opposite: a flawless and admired cheerleader, but it's all an act. When Justin stumbles across her secret - that the perfect girl everyone worships is actually a geeky gamer -, he does something stupid. Now, he's determined to prove he isn't the bad guy she thinks he is. But getting close to Zelda means pulling her deeper into the world she's tried so hard to hide... A slow-burn YA romance about secrets, loneliness, and the people we become when we finally let our guards down. UPDATED EVERY WEDNESDAY, FRIDAY AND SUNDAY

Damian DeGuia's your average 16 year old kid - just trying to keep his grades up, navigate through the motions of high school, and maintain the friend group he cherishes. From maintaining the growth he's gained from his past of constant temper to hiding his crush from everyone he knows, his life is a similar path most may have followed before. But underneath his stoic demeanour lies a web of feelings, struggles, and a goal to prove that he's not the angry little kid he was. Combined with the impending sense of doom and the recent increase of UFO sightings growing around Damian's oh-so regular life, will he be capable of holding it all together? Or will it all collapse and crumble to dust? ACCOMPLISHMENTS: 1,000 READS: NOV 15, 2025 #2 IN ORIGINALSTORY WE UP

┏━✦❘༻༺❘✦━━┓ 𝐁𝐨𝐫𝐧 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫. 𝑷𝒓𝒐𝒎𝒊𝒔𝒆𝒅 𝐭𝐨 𝐚 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫. ┗━✦❘༻༺❘✦━━┛ She was born a Castellano. But she refuses to die one. Lisa Castellano is done being a pawn in her family's twisted Mafia game. She's ready to run, to disappear, to finally breathe on her own terms. But freedom has a price. And his name is Lorenzo Romano-cold, calculating, and lethal enough to offer her a deal she can't refuse: his protection, in exchange for something far more dangerous than loyalty. Her heart. He never meant to fall. She never meant to be caught. But in a world of blood debts and broken vows, love might be the most dangerous game of all.

She's the chaos. He's the steady one. Amy never planned on falling for Zahn; the quiet, disciplined boy who somehow became her unofficial babysitter. He wakes her up for classes, steals her junk food, nags about grades, and lectures her like a mom... yet somehow ends up being the only place she feels safe. She's lazy, reckless, dramatic, and far too spoiled, her favorite daily routine is pushing his buttons. He's grumpy, easily exasperated, always rolling his eyes... but secretly, a total softie. Together, they're messy, heartfelt, and inseparable, even when life (and their own mistakes) try to tear them apart. Because love isn't always soft edges and fairytales. It's laughter, heartbreak, healing... and holding on anyway. (Cover drawn by me)
