    Basketball was in her blood, but LaMelo Ball made her want to set the whole damn court on fire. Theresa Young doesn't play games. She runs things quietly from the sidelines, calling shots behind the camera while the league watches her brother light up the court. Her situationship with Jalen Johnson? Chill. Uncomplicated. Safe. But when Charlotte's finest shows up with that cocky grin and too much swagger for one man, everything changes. LaMelo Ball is all attitude and bad timing. He gets under her skin-then under her guard. What starts as petty jabs and passive glances turns into something hotter, heavier, harder to ignore. Now Jalen's noticing. LaMelo's circling. And Theresa's stuck between the boy who never claimed her and the one who might just ruin her carefully built peace. The pressure's building. The season's heating up. And some fouls don't get called until it's too late. DISCLAIMER: This is a work of fiction.

    He starts walking toward me, rolling something between his fingers. A lock pick. Metal clicking softly as he toys with it. I back up instinctively, my shoulders hitting the wall behind me. There's nowhere else to go. My breath comes faster now, chest rising and falling uncontrollably. He stops inches away. Too close. He lifts a hand and drags the cool metal lightly along the side of my arm-not hard, not painful. Just enough to remind me how trapped I am. "You shouldn't be here," he says quietly. My voice shakes-but I force the words out anyway. "You neither." For a moment, he just looks at me. Then he laughs. Low. Brief. Almost impressed. "Fair." I swallow. "Let me go." He studies my face like he's deciding something. Then, slowly, he raises both hands in mock surrender and steps back. "You're free to go." --- Starting over sounds easy-until you're forced to do it in the same place where everything once fell apart. At seventeen, Ivory returns to Tennessee with a guarded heart, a family still healing, and a past she never fully made peace with. After heartbreak taught her that love isn't always gentle-and that promises don't always last-Ivory isn't looking for anything new. She just wants to survive her final years of high school unnoticed. But New York remembers her. Between a school that feels unfamiliar, old memories that refuse to stay buried, and the pressure of pretending she's okay, Ivory quickly learns that starting over doesn't erase who you used to be. And then there's him. Cold, infuriating, and impossible to ignore, he is everything Ivory doesn't want and everything she can't seem to escape. Their first interactions are sharp, tense, and anything but romantic. Yet the more they clash, the harder it becomes to pretend there's nothing beneath the anger. Some stories don't begin with love. They begin with resistance. And they burn slowly-until there's no turning back. A teen high school romance. Enemies to lovers. Slow burn. -

Because not every love story was written to have a happy ending - some were written to ruin you beautifully. ---

    Randomly updated, dont be suprised if i disappear for a month lmao 🤷 It's a teacher × student, Tom riddle story. be grateful Most impressive Rankings: #17 in Theodore Nott Anabella Weasley has always felt out of place-even in the magical world she was born into. Faces linger too long, glances carry unspoken recognition, and memories seem to echo across lifetimes. Returning to Hogwarts for another year, Ana is drawn into the familiar rhythms of school, but the quiet, strange moments tug at her mind: her mother's lingering looks, fleeting glances from people who seem to see more than just her, and the theory of being reborn that refuses to let go. In the library's hidden corners, Ana studies with her closest friends-Draco, Blaise, Pansy, Theodore, and Luna-surrounded by scattered books, whispered jokes, and playful debates. They tease, they speculate, and they comfort each other, but Ana's thoughts drift to patterns she can't explain. Past lives, recognition, and connections beyond time haunt her quietly, shaping the way she sees the world. Between algebra, magical theory, and whispered confessions, Ana begins to notice the subtle threads that tie people-and perhaps lives-together. In a place as familiar as Hogwarts, where magic is everywhere but truths are hidden, Ana must navigate friendship, discovery, and the unsettling pull of recognition. Echoes Between Lives is a story of memory, identity, and the invisible bonds that shape us across time.

    "Killing an Excuse of Virelia and Adrian" begins with a bombing-and everything that survives it. When Solstice War College is attacked, Adrian is forced to transfer to Arcanum, a place known for its silence, structure, and students who don't ask questions. Virelia has always been one of them. Sharp-edged and unreadable, she has no interest in the boy from a broken campus. But the war doesn't care about comfort zones, and neither does the truth. Thrown together by circumstance, Adrian and Virelia slowly circle each other-connected by rumors, duty, and the things they refuse to say. It's not a romance. Not at first. It's the quiet study of two people unlearning what they've been taught to hate-and the excuse that kept them from looking deeper.
