18+ | 2026 WATTYS SHORTLISTER | First Draft | Not edited. |"You gonna sit there all night?" Luka glances at me, smirking. I glare back. "I was enjoying the last few seconds of peace before having to spend an evening pretending to like you." "That's funny," he says, unbuckling his seatbelt. "Why?" I snap. "Because I was thinking the same thing." | The rules? Easy enough. 1. Pretend to be the perfect couple. 2. Keep it professional. 3. And whatever you do, don't. catch. feelings. Simple, right? Sofia Calloway never planned on going viral for throwing a drink in Luka Mikhaylov's face. But one video, one pissed-off hockey star, and one furious university later... she's suddenly stuck in a fake relationship with the guy she can't stand. He needs to clean up his image before the NHL draft. She needs the free tuition that comes with the deal. All they have to do is smile for the cameras, hold hands at the games, and act like they don't want to strangle each other. Then come the late-night arguments that last too long. The stolen glances that feel too dangerous. The moment where "pretend" starts looking way too real. Because when you break the rules, someone's bound to lose. And this time, it might be both of them.

Francesca's quiet life is thrown into chaos when her estranged half-sister Bella moves back to Forks, reopening old family tensions and changing everything she thought she knew. As secrets about the Cullens begin to surface, Francesca finds herself pulled deeper into a complicated relationship with her longtime friend Jacob Black. Hiiii I'm back with another story, this time for all the Team Jacob fans out there (aka me lol). Set in an alternate Twilight universe, Bella Swan has a younger sister who grew up in Forks with Charlie-and unlike Bella, she's never been a fan of the Cullens. This is a fanfiction story. I do not own these characters or the original Twilight plot. All credit and love goes to Stephenie Meyer, the original creator of Twilight, who built such a wonderful fanbase and inspired countless stories, spin-offs, and fanfictions (iykyk).
