Completed • First Draft - not edited. || "You gonna sit there all night?" Luka glances at me, smirking. I glare back. "I was enjoying the last few seconds of peace before having to spend an evening pretending to like you." "That's funny," he says, unbuckling his seatbelt. "Why?" I snap. "Because I was thinking the same thing." || The rules? Easy enough. 1. Pretend to be the perfect couple. 2. Keep it professional. 3. And whatever you do, don't. catch. feelings. Simple, right? Sofia Calloway never planned on going viral for throwing a drink in Luka Mikhaylov's face. But one video, one pissed-off hockey star, and one furious university later... she's suddenly stuck in a fake relationship with the guy she can't stand. He needs to clean up his image before the NHL draft. She needs the free tuition that comes with the deal. All they have to do is smile for the cameras, hold hands at the games, and act like they don't want to strangle each other. Then come the late-night arguments that last too long. The stolen glances that feel too dangerous. The moment where "pretend" starts looking way too real. Because when you break the rules, someone's bound to lose. And this time, it might be both of them.

Es tut weh, wenn man die Person, die man am meisten liebt, mit einer anderen Person sieht. Es tut weh, zu wissen, dass man für diese Person niemals das gleiche sein wird, wie sie für einen selbst ist. Man sagt immer, es würde einfacher werden. Gefühle würden über die Zeit verblassen, irgendwann würden sie komplett verschwinden, man könnte sich endlich neu aufraffen und etwas neues starten. Man sagt immer, jeder hatte seinen Deckel. Seinen Seelenverwandten, sein Licht in der Dunkelheit. Jeder, würde sein Glück, wenn er es lange genug suchen würde, finden. Doch stimmt das? Konnte ich, ich, der das Gefühl hatte in meinen Gefühlen zu ersticken, wirklich los lassen und mein Glück finden, würde ich es vielleicht doch, irgendwie, wenn ich es nur lange genug versuchen würde, wirklich schaffen mich auf jemanden einzulassen, auf jemanden der nicht ER ist? Würde ICH mein Glück finden? Start: 06.12.2024 Uploads: Alle zwei Tage ♥

Emery Ashford had a smart mouth. She was known for it. As an outgoing teenager Emery was always hanging out with friends and with a lack of filter she always said what was on her mind. Especially if it had to do with that irritative jock. She hated him with every fiber in her body. She hated his charming nature, his arrogance, his lack of care, and the way he got on her nerves. But the thing she hated most, although she'd never admit it, is that she would stick up for him. Not like he ever needed it. She wanted nothing more than to get away from him. But it's completely impossible. He lived right across the street. Everything about senior year had been going smoothly until, Bang. Jackson Riley had a pretty mouth. Pretty face too. As the school's football captain he's always been the talk. For years he's been entertained by the smartass that is Emery Ashford. She was a pain in his ass, but he knew he'd be bored without her. When he ends up giving Emery another concussion, he's determined to make the last two months of her senior year hell. That's if he hasn't been doing that already. There's only one thing in his way. Concussion or not Emery isn't going down without a fight. It seems the more she doesn't want him around, the more he happens to be. She thinks her life is spiraling into the ground...but maybe she has it all wrong. With an offer she can't refuse and a heat of the moment bet, it's time for the both of them to realize that there's a thin line between love and hate. And with an injury like this, that line is surely to blur. #1 in annoying [12/30/22] #1 in brothersbestfriend [1/6/23] #1 in hate [1/15/23] #1 in teens [1/28/23] #1 in tension [3/18/23] #1 in summer [5/8/23] #1 in player [5/13/23] Started [Oct 2022] Finished [May 2023]

I have found an ideal life. I have a loving husband, no work and no danger. This is exactly what I wanted when I ran away and changed my identity.

Melanie Van Doren Fifteen-year-old Melanie Van Doren knows better than to get attached. With her father's military career uprooting her family every few years, she's learned to stay quiet, keep her head down, and avoid getting too close to anyone. When her family moves to Thrilstone, a charming small town surrounded by endless woods, Melanie expects it to be just another stop on their never-ending journey. But then she meets Blake Fielder, a boy with a guarded expression and a quiet intensity that she can't ignore. Blake Fielder Sixteen-year-old Blake Fielder didn't expect his family to move to Thrilstone, but after his dad's new job demanded a fresh start, here he is. For Blake, the move was supposed to be a chance to leave behind the memories of his old life, memories he'd rather not talk about. He spends his time keeping his distance and trying to stay out of trouble-until Melanie Van Doren walks into his life. There's something about the way she looks at the world, quiet and watchful, that makes Blake feel seen in a way he hasn't for a long time. As two newcomers to a town filled with lifelong connections, Melanie and Blake find an unexpected bond in their shared sense of being outsiders. But as their worlds begin to intertwine, they'll have to decide if trusting each other is worth risking the walls they've built to protect themselves.

"See how much he wants to kill me because of you? Well, I'll tell you a secret..." I let out a soft breath, something between a sigh and a moan, as his hands slid up my sides, holding me tighter against him. "You'll be the one to kill me, Nova," he whispered, his breath hot against my ear, his lips barely grazing my skin. "You and no one else." 𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 𓆟 𓆝 What would you do if your boyfriend broke up with you for someone else? Even worse. She is that girl. Popular, shallow and horribly perfect. The one who makes all of your insecurities stand out. So I decided to hit him harder. The only thing that would piss him off more than seeing me with another guy would be seeing me with this guy. Because no one likes it when the enemy takes away something that used to be ours, not even when we left it behind as if it wasn't worth a penny. He hates him and it would be the perfect revenge. It really would if I didn't hate him even more. Growing up with the person you hate most in the world just because he's your brother's best friend is hard enough. Then imagine asking him to fake date you in order to make another guy jealous... Hopeless, huh? Well, consider me a hopeless cause because now, is the time for my revenge. 𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 𓆟 𓆝 This story contains mature themes and inappropriate language, not suitable for all audiences.

Wer hätte gedacht, dass ein einfacher Kuss bei Wahrheit oder Pflicht Vanessas Leben komplett auf den Kopf stellen würde? Adrien ist heiß, kann wahnsinnig gut küssen und ist rundum der perfekte Mann - aber Vanessa weiß, sie sollte lieber ihre Finger von ihm lassen. *** In Vanessas Leben läuft alles routiniert ab: Sie geht zur Schule, liebt ihr regelmäßiges Tanztraining und hat noch immer ihren besten Freund aus der Kindheit an ihrer Seite. Das ändert sich jedoch plötzlich, als sie auf einer Party bei Wahrheit oder Pflicht einen fremden Jungen küsst. Adrien stellt ihr Leben von da an auf den Kopf und Vanessa würde am liebsten jede freie Minute mit ihm verbringen. Sie weiß, dass er es nicht ernst mit ihr meint und sie selbst will zuerst nichts Wirkliches von ihm, so lässt sie sich deshalb nur auf eine lockere, aber leidenschaftliche Affäre mit ihm ein, von der niemand weiß. Doch je mehr Zeit sie mit ihm verbringt, umso klarer wird ihr: So ganz kann sie Gefühle nicht aus der Sache raushalten. Ganz besonders unangenehm ist das, weil sie genau weiß, dass er sie nicht genauso will wie sie ihn... Aber da ist es schon zu spät: Er und seine Geschwister haben sich in ihr Herz geschlichen und Vanessa tut sich zunehmend schwer, ihre Finger von ihm zu lassen. Cover Design by SPIRITEDAMAY
