Four years ago, Valentina Coppola was erased from the life she used to know. Accused of pushing her twin sister down the stairs of their home, she was sent to a boarding school for ill mannered ladies in Stockholm. An academy shaped like a prison. Years after the fall, she is brought back to Italy so that amends can be made. Older. Sharper. And still helplessly hurt by what happened years ago, Valentina must learn to navigate life with the brothers that didn't believe her, a father who shipped her away, and a twin sister who hides behind a fabricated lie. This time, Valentina has secrets of her own.

We're not in love. Our past is a dumpster fire. The best we are is friends with benefits... without the friends' part. Jake Harrison, USC's star quarterback, goes through girls faster than jock straps. If that's not disgusting enough, he's my best friend's brother and my prime motivation for celibacy. Transferring to UCLA means finally getting out of my dad's house. All I want is to stay under the social radar, make Dad proud by earning my paralegal certification, and get out of Los Angeles. When Jake learns I'm nearby, the cocky jerk will stop at nothing to rekindle what didn't work before. He thinks he's grown and matured past the boy who crushed my teenage heart. I think he's taken too many tackles into the turf, but when he proposes a stress management agreement during his season... I can't help but see his point. His seven-and-a-half-inch point. The last time we indulged, we got sloppy. Not the good kind-soul-crushing feelings-sloppy. My brain knows cutting ties was for the best, but the rest of my body still hates me. But I won't be made a fool again. This time, I have rules: No attachment. No cuddles. And no falling in love. Yet, when treacherous feelings resurface, I do the worst thing possible-Break my own rules. This time, whoever falls first isn't getting back up. Story is complete.

Maggie Biggs is nothing like her two older siblings. Not like Hughie, who despite all the drama going on in his life, is always confident and willing to batter anyone who looks sideways at the people he loves. And she's definitely not like Claire, who's so full of sunshine that if the sun went away Claire could replace it.

I had never needed anyone. I didn't know what it was like to need a person until I met him. I needed him. He looked at me as if there was something inside me worth looking at. I hated him for it. Why? Because I could see myself loving him. If only things had happened differently.

She sees the pain behind his sharp edges, and he finds comfort in her soft presence. But Joey doesn't know the truth - that Vivienne isn't the rich girl he thinks she is.

b i l l y h a r g r o v e "That's cute. Two lifeguards drowning in a pool of love." Based off stranger things 3 with my own twist. Number one in Billy Hargrove Fan Fiction

Ophelia's worst fear was being alone, turns out her and Billy Hargrove had that in common. Her broken demeanor, quiet nature, makes Billy infatuated with her. Trying to stray from her past, she has no room for another boy in her life. That is, until she realizes how that boy makes her feel. Billy Hargrove Fanfic Based on Stanger Things 2 & 3 © californialust 2022 EXTENDED SUMMARY: Ophelia Whitmore, the new girl. She had been okay with the title, especially if it meant she would be free of the burden her past had on her. She was a kind, sweet, and caring young girl, and she never deserved the treatment she got from her peers. It was soley based on one little mistake she had made on a night she thought was going to be the best day of her life. Losing all of her friends to the spread of the exaggerated rumor, left her all alone. One thing Ophelia feared the most, was being completely, and utterly alone. Since the death of her mother, she had always found herself with attachment issues. She always put others feelings before her own, unable to ever say no. When she meets Billy Hargrove, he's just another person that she can't say no to. His bad boy persona was the complete opposite of Ophelia, and that's what drew her to him. His constant sense for adventure, and getting her to do new things starts to bring her out of her shell, and she starts to feel like her old self again, maybe even a better version.
