⚠️MEGA SLOWBURN⚠️ Everyone knows their names. Kylie Cantrall is the girl with the voice, the stage lights, and the world watching her every move. Malia Baker is the girl who disappeared from the spotlight, choosing quiet moments in Vancouver over a life constantly lived online. They couldn't be more different. One lives under the LA lights. The other escapes them whenever she can. When their paths keep crossing, the internet is quick to create a rivalry neither of them asked for. Comparisons turn into rumours, rumours turn into assumptions, and suddenly everyone has an opinion on two girls who barely know each other. But behind the headlines, the cameras, and the carefully chosen Instagram posts, there are two people who might have more in common than they realise. Because sometimes the person you think you know the least is the person who understands you the most. #1 - maliabaker 07/08/26 #1 - kylia 07/08/26

Kylie Cantrall (22) - The youngest professor the university has ever hired. Smart, composed, but lonely. She hides behind confidence and professionalism, terrified of making mistakes in a place where everyone's waiting for her to fail. Malia Baker (19) - Star student. Bright, witty, loved by classmates, and deeply curious. She's the kind of student who notices too much, especially when it comes to her professor.

For four years, they were inseparable. Now, they can barely bring themselves to look at each other. Between red carpets, interviews, and smiles meant for the cameras, they each hide the same truth: they never really stopped looking for one another. Because sometimes, it isn't hatred that drives two people apart. It's the love they never found the courage to name. *This work is a piece of fiction inspired by public figures. The events, dialogue, and relationships portrayed are entirely fictional.

Malia's the girl who keeps it all together - for her sister, for her family, for everyone but herself. Kylie's the girl who stopped caring what people think - at least, that's what she tells herself. When their paths cross, neither expects to see themselves reflected in the other. But some connections are impossible to ignore... even when you're not ready to be seen. Neither of them are stable.

Malia and Kylie are in love - or at least they're trying to be. After years of heartbreak, Malia finally finds herself in the arms of someone who truly cares for her. Kylie is gentle, patient, and willing to love Malia through all the broken pieces. But no matter how close they grow, Malia's mind keeps drifting back to the one person who broke her - her ex. Her past relationship wasn't love. It was manipulation, control, and emotional scars she still carries. Every touch with Kylie feels like it carries the weight of those old wounds. Malia wants to give Kylie her whole heart, but she's terrified of opening herself up again, scared of fully undressing emotionally - afraid that vulnerability will only lead to pain, like it did before. As Kylie tries to break through the walls Malia has carefully built, Malia must confront the painful question: Can you truly love someone new when your heart is still learning how to trust again?

idk js some cute little story's with Kylia!

Malia Baker and Kylie Cantrall have been inseparable ever since they first met during auditions for Descendants: Rise of Red. Over the years, their on-screen partnership grew into an off-screen friendship that fans can't get enough of. Social media overflows with #Kylia edits, theories, and hopes that there's something more between them-but the girls always laugh it off, insisting they're just best friends. What no one knows is that Kylie's been keeping a secret. She's been in love with Malia for a long time. But after Malia once said their bond felt more like family, Kylie buried her feelings, afraid of losing the one person she can't imagine life without. Now, as the Descendants & Zombies: Worlds Collide Tour kicks off, Malia and Kylie are about to spend two months side by side-traveling the country, performing for sold-out crowds, and singing one of the most emotional duets of their careers. The closer they get, the harder it becomes to separate friendship from something more-and the whole world is watching. Is this the summer their story changes forever? Or will Kylie's secret stay hidden in the shadows of the spotlight?

At twenty-four, Malia has everything she once thought she wanted. Fame. Red carpets. A sold-out world tour. A husband the world adores. Married to rising music star Malachi, she's part of a golden celebrity couple everyone envies. The cameras love them. The interviews sparkle. The ring on her finger shines like proof that she "won." But behind closed doors, when the lights are off and the music stops, the truth is quieter. Darker. Malachi drinks too much. His temper shifts without warning. The man the world sees isn't the man she lives with. And every night, as she lies awake beside him, Malia realizes something devastating: The worst mistake she ever made wasn't marrying him. It was losing Kylie. Once her best friend. Once her safe place. Once the only person who ever really saw her. The once inseparable cast - Malia, Kylie, Malachi, Freya, Dara, MK, and Josh - they were chaotic, young. And then one choice shattered everything. Malia chose Malachi. Kylie walked away. Now, trapped in a life that looks perfect but feels like a prison, Malia wishes for one impossible thing: What if I could go back? And then she does. She wakes up in her eighteen-year-old body - back on that tour bus, before the wedding, before the betrayal, before she let the love of her life slip through her fingers. This time, she knows how the story ends. This time, she knows who truly mattered. And this time, she's not choosing him. She's choosing Kylie. A second chance. A buried love. A friendship that was always more. Because sometimes the greatest love story isn't about finding someone new- It's about going back and choosing the person you should've chosen all along.
