Freya and Malachi used to be inseparable. They were best friends for over nine years, growing up side by side through primary school and everything after. But somewhere along the way, things fell apart badly, and now, in Year 11, they act like strangers. Malachi became popular without even trying. Girls are always around him, but he is not the player everyone assumes he is losing her hit him harder than anyone thinks too. Freya, on the other hand, changed completely after losing him. She became quiet, anxious, and withdrawn, carrying more pain than anyone realised. Her dad, her only living parent, died. And Malachi had no idea.

New country. New house. New Romances. Freya Skye thought her life was over after moving from England to Virginia. Until she meets the boy next door, Malachi Barton. He sweeps her off her feet, and where she expected to find friendship, she unexpectedly finds love.

Everything after tour became messy. One second me and Malachi were fine, and the next we weren't speaking anymore. Then the pictures of him and Malia came out and suddenly the whole internet had opinions about something I still didn't fully understand myself. Now I'm back for Zombies 5. Back with the cast. Back with the cameras. And back with Malachi Barton. The boy I'm supposed to act in love with. Again. Only this time, everything's different. Because maybe the feelings never actually left. And maybe seeing him move on hurts more than I want to admit

When 17-year-old aspiring actress Freya Skye lands the role of a lifetime in Zombies 4: Dawn of the Vampires, it feels like her dreams are coming true-until she discovers who her on-screen love interest is: Malachi Barton, the arrogant, overconfident actor who made her year in acting school a living hell. Forced to fake passion for the cameras, their on-screen chemistry slowly turns into something real, and soon Freya can't tell if the sparks between them are part of the script...or something neither of them expected Malachi HATES Freya... or does he? Will he confess that the so-called "hatred" he's had for her all this time has really just been love in disguise? As tension builds between the two on and off set, Malachi fights holding back this secret he has kept for all this time, worrying she doesn't feel the same. -An enemies to lovers story full of drama, love, friendships, secrets, tension, and heartbreak.

Freya thought college was supposed to be a fresh start. New campus. New friends. New life. The only thing she didn't expect was being assigned the same dorm room as the one person she couldn't stand. Malachi. Her high school rival. The boy who challenged her in every class, stole her spotlight whenever he could, and somehow always knew exactly how to get under her skin. Now they're forced to share a tiny dorm room for an entire year. Between late-night arguments, competitive study sessions, and constant bickering, Freya is counting down the days until she can escape him. There's just one problem. The more time Malachi spends with Freya, the harder it becomes to ignore the way his heart races whenever she's around. And when other guys start showing interest in her, he realizes he's feeling something far more dangerous than rivalry. Jealousy. Meanwhile, Freya finds herself questioning whether she really hates him as much as she claims. With MK and Kylie determined to play matchmaker and Malia, Josh, and Dara desperately trying to stop them before things get awkward, college life quickly turns into chaos. Because sometimes the line between love and hate is thinner than anyone realizes. And sometimes your biggest rival becomes the one person you can't imagine living without.

𝐈𝐍 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐇, Freya Skye Jones is a pro at playing the "perfect lead," but she wasn't prepared for the way Malachi's apology would feel like an invitation to burn her world down all over again. 𝐎𝐑 𝐈𝐍 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐇, Malachi Barton plays a dangerous game, trying to win back the girl who was his entire world before he realized that some bridges don't just burn-they turn to ash.

Before the scandal. Before everything - there was a tour. The Descendants/Zombies Words Collide Tour gave the world something it didn't know it needed: Malachi Barton and Freya Skye sharing a stage, a spotlight, and something that looked dangerously like more. Fans lost their minds. Fralachi trended for weeks. Everyone was certain. Then the tour ended - and so did everything else. No more liked posts. No more late-night stories. Just silence, and the kind of distance that only means one thing. The rumors filled in the gaps fast. Malachi and Kylie Cantrall had been together since the start of the tour, apparently. A secret relationship, confirmed by someone who should have kept quiet. And the reason it ended? Malachi had been caught - with Malia Baker, Kylie's best friend, of all people. The photos made it real. The internet made it permanent. Freya never said a word. She didn't have to. Her EP, Stardust, said everything - at least that's what her fans believed. Golden Boy. Silent Treatment. Two tracks, one very obvious story. People moved on. Accepted Malachi and Malia. Let Fralachi become a what-if, a almost, a footnote. Until the Zombies 5 trailer dropped. There they were again - same orbit, same undeniable pull. But something had shifted. The easy chemistry was gone, replaced by something heavier, something unresolved. What really happened on that tour? And why does it still feel unfinished?

𝐅𝐑𝐄𝐘𝐀 𝐒𝐊𝐘𝐄 has always been used to running alone. Volleyball captain, track star, and the kind of girl everyone admires from afar, she thrives on control-both on the court and on the track. But at home, her parents' wealth can't mask the cold, suffocating cruelty that defines her every day. She's learned early that no one will show up for her... and that's exactly how she likes it. 𝐌𝐀𝐋𝐀𝐂𝐇𝐈 𝐁𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐎𝐍 has the opposite problem: everyone shows up. Football star, track sprinter, and all-around golden boy, he's surrounded by friends, family, and a little sister who worships him. He's used to support, praise, and having people rely on him. Life has always been... easier. They're both popular, in the same tight-knit friend group, and everyone expects them to get along. But Freya and Malachi don't. They clash at every practice, tease each other relentlessly, and can't seem to sit still in the same room without tension sparking between them. What happens when the girl who's learned to survive on her own meets the boy who can't stop trying to protect her? When rivalry becomes something more, and shared spaces-late-night practices, team hangouts, and races that leave them both breathless-force them to confront what they're really running toward... and from? A slow-burn, rivals-to-lovers story about resilience, family, and the courage it takes to finally let someone in. #1 field (08/02/26) #4 freyaskye (08/02/26)

They said loving him would be loud. Chaotic. Impossible. They were wrong. Loving Malachi Daniel Barton was quiet- the kind that happened in empty hallways, late-night conversations, and moments the world never saw. Freya Skye Jones never asked for spotlights or headlines. She only wanted a life that felt like hers. But when a global star learns to breathe in the silence she brings, and a girl who avoids attention becomes the center of it, something has to give. Because when love is real, it doesn't need an audience. That's so true.
