College life Everyone says it's supposed to be the best years of your life-the time to chase dreams, discover yourself, and meet people who will change your world. But no one ever warns you about the things you don't expect to feel. The way your heart can trip over itself at the sight of someone. The way you can't control it, no matter how much you tell yourself not to. What if, one day, you find yourself falling for someone you know you shouldn't love? And what if-just when you're trying to hide those feelings-someone else steps into your life, someone who looks at you like you're more than ordinary, someone who makes you feel special in a way you've never felt before? College isn't just about lectures, exams, and late-night study sessions. It's about the people you meet, the moments you never expect, and the feelings you can't always explain. This is where it all begins. ------------------ Warning: ⚠️ this story I'm making has a 🔞

She's the type who walks into a room and silences it with a glare-CEO, perfectionist, easily angered and impossible to impress. Life, for her, is a checklist of wins and control. Then she met her. Soft-spoken, unfailingly kind, and stubborn in the gentlest way. A quiet force of nature with a smile that disarms, and a secret buried deep in her skull-an aneurysm that could rupture at any moment. They were opposites. One ran from vulnerability. The other lived with its shadow every day. What began as a clash of personalities slowly unraveled into late-night confessions, stolen glances, and love that neither of them saw coming. But with time quite literally ticking inside her head, every shared moment is a fight-not just against fear, but for something worth staying alive for.
