sunlightwrites | 2025 ​For freshman Miu Natsha, life at university was supposed to be about quiet philosophy books and blending into the background. That plan utterly failed the day she tripped and spilled cocoa, landing her directly in the path of Lena Schuett. ​Lena is everything Miu is not: a brilliant, focused senior with an easy smile and eyes the color of melted caramel. For Miu, the crush is instant, intense, and deeply inconvenient. ​This isn't a dramatic love story-it's a series of heart-stopping near-misses, awkward interactions, and silent staring across the library. From a life-saving black pen to a high-stakes printer emergency, Miu finds herself accidentally inching closer to the coolest girl on campus. ​Miu is terrified she's just an embarrassing distraction, but the way Lena remembers her name and smiles makes her wonder: maybe the distance between a nervous freshman and an unattainable senior isn't as vast as it seems.

After not seeing each other for nearly eight years, Justin and Laila are suddenly forced to spend the entire summer together. Now if that's not bad enough, Justin and Laila couldn't be more opposite from each other. At first it's plainly clear to everyone that they're just not going to get along at all. But the more Justin and Laila actually get to know each other - and when they aren't fighting over something stupid - the two slowly realize that maybe there are things in life they'll need each other to figure out. If Justin is arrogant, snarky, and just a bit too handsome for his own good, then Laila may just end up going insane. And if Laila's clever, quick-witted, and beyond pretty, then God help Justin. So the same thought on both of their minds? Is this going to be the summer of a life time or what?
