"Do you ever get scared of being happy?" He asked softly, also pretty tired. I kept my eyes closed as I answered, my fingers softly drawing circles on his chest. "All the time. I used to a lot more, but, the downfalls seem a lot less daunting now that I have someone to free-fall with," I replied, and I looked up to see him smile a little at that, "We're just dancing in the rain these days.. there's no need to be afraid of the inevitable clouds that are gonna pop up." • • • College.

What happens when we put together two workaholics with their hearts closed to love? Eleanor, a clumsy twenty-two-year-old, had everything in her life planned out and was focused only on her career and everything was going smoothly until she tried to walk into the same elevator as Sebastian Crain. After that, she thought she would not meet him face to face again, until she started working at his company and he made her an outrageous request. At twenty-six, Sebastian had just replaced his father as CEO of Crain enterprises. Not only was his professional life in total chaos, but the media had also depicted him as having an extremely active romantic life when, in fact, it was inexistent. But everything changed when he received his sister's wedding invitation and was told that he needed to attend with a date. To him, Eleanor looked perfect for the part. They only had to pretend to be a couple and attend a wedding. But what will happen once they realize that what they have is a lot more than a fake relationship?

Sometimes, the closest rival is the one who sees you the most. At Seattle College of Business and Economics, Sera Westbrook has only ever known life through the lens of pressure. The pressure to succeed. The pressure to prove herself. The pressure to make up for the sister she lost and the father who reminds her daily that she was never what he wanted. Across the aisle - both in class and in life - sits Gray Bennett. Brilliant, confident, effortlessly admired, and her closest competitor in everything that counts. Their silent rivalry has spanned years, measured not just in grades and rankings, but in sarcasm, unspoken glances, and the war between who cares more and who dares less. But beneath Sera's flawless academic record lies a girl quietly unraveling. And behind Gray's easy charm is someone who's seen her - really seen her - from the very beginning. As graduation nears, one announcement changes everything. Applause echoes. Expectations crack. And in a moment of public silence, someone finally speaks up for the girl who was never allowed to speak for herself. Then they part ways. No confessions. No promises. Just the memory of what almost was - and the weight of all that wasn't said. Years later, fate brings them back together in a world far beyond the classroom, where success is louder, reputations sharper, and feelings... harder to ignore. But some distances can't be measured by numbers. And sometimes, the deepest connection begins with the smallest difference. "Half a Mark" is a deeply emotional, slow-burning story of quiet strength, unspoken love, and the lifelong impact of being almost enough - until someone shows you you've always been more than that.
