Paradox (n.) \'per-ə-ˌdäks, ˈpa-rə-\

: something (such as a situation) that is made up of two opposite things and that seems impossible but is actually true or possible

We are all people in this world. We are similar in countless ways, yet we are different in thousands of other ways. We have different thoughts, mannerisms, beliefs and personalities.  No two people are exactly alike, and yet, sometimes it is our differences that brings us together.

In the busy streets of London lives Sapphire, a girl who made the wrong choice, who gave her trust to the wrong person. In the crowded city of Manila, she meets Brett, a boy who stays in the background, willing himself not to be seen. They're polar opposites, Sapphire being an unbelievably positive and outgoing person, while Brett is rather silent and painfully shy. Some might think that two people like them aren't supposed to get along, but they do. 

They thought they were too different, impossible. But it was possible.Because they were a paradoxAll Rights Reserved

Engineering Love Malfunction by laydeeshannon

Park, a no-nonsense, by-the-book Engineering student, has always kept his head down, focusing on blueprints, equations, and the occasional workshop banter. He has no time for distractions-especially ones that come in the form of Beam, the infamous Medical Casanova of the university. Beam, on the other hand, is charming, flirtatious, and effortlessly glides through life with a dazzling smile and a trail of admirers behind him. Their worlds collide-quite literally-when Park's friend lands in the university hospital after a late-night hazing incident. That's where he meets Beam, the effortlessly charismatic medical student who seems to have a witty remark for everything. From the moment they cross paths, it's a clash of oil and water: Park finds Beam annoyingly smug, while Beam is far too entertained by how easily Park gets riled up. What starts as irritation soon turns into an unavoidable series of encounters. Whether it's at the hospital, in the cafeteria, or even during inter-faculty events, Park finds Beam inexplicably everywhere. Beam, for his part, is intrigued-Park isn't like the people he usually flirts with. He's sharp, serious, and completely immune to his usual charms. So naturally, Beam makes it his mission to break through Park's walls, just for the fun of it. But when an accidental moment of vulnerability exposes a side of Beam no one usually sees, Park is forced to confront the possibility that there's more to the university's famed Casanova than just a smooth-talking flirt. And as they continue to butt heads, Park realizes that maybe, just maybe, sparks aren't always a bad thing. After all, opposites may clash, but sometimes, they combust into something unexpectedly bright.

Anomalies ✔ by whoscountinganyway

"I am the textbook definition of in love with you." *** Castor Rex: He's snarky, quiet and mysterious. A secret keeper. He doesn't like his life to be on display. People avoid him, even if they respect him. Jasper Red: He's polite, nice and helpful. A open book. He likes filling his life with other people and their love. People love him, they can't help it. Because of his quiet nature, snarky smirks and sarcastic words Castor has always had a hard time when it came to making friends -and keeping them. Something Jazz doesn't struggle with. With Jazz's protective nature, shyness and many friends he doesn't need someone else to fill a spot in his life -at least, that's what he thought. Then they met. And that empty part in Jazz's heart felt a little bit bigger because he started to realize Cas could fill it. Cas sees him as a grinning, happy dork he has no chance with. Jazz sees him as a adorable, grumpy jock that now, is his. Castor wants to get through the school year as quietly as possible but with how loud Jazz loves, neither of them know if it's possible, and to make matters worse they're roommates for the rest of the year. It's only a matter of time before they come together or fall apart. *** As a private person, someone who doesn't share myself with others, I can say that learning how to interact with others is difficult. It's like baking, almost, you have to mix the right ingredients together, and if you add the wrong ones things can taste hideous even if they look good. It's a lot like our words. But I've mastered how to tell someone just a little about myself but doing it in a way that makes the person in front of me think they know a lot. Jasper, somehow, sees through this every fucking time and it's absolutely infuriating. He's never satisfied with just a little of me, with my hidden truth, and it's the most annoying thing I've ever experienced. *** @STESLARA made the second POV in her book 'Jasper Red's Anomaly'

A New Beginning by Incrediblefangirl1

Introverts, I call out to you: This book is about Athena, the nerdiest of introverts. However, like everyone she was hit by the curse of falling in love. Unable to manage her feelings, she can't hold it anymore. What to do? She fell in love with her best friend, James but...her rival is only perfection itself. How to beat a perfect extrovert magnificent person? Not a single flaw compared to us, introverts. Bree is perfect. Who in the world would choose a flawed but unique introvert rather than a goddess, a princess who is just perfection? This is the first book of an amazing sequel. It will bring you back to the reality of how hard life as an introvert is. Hard but breathtaking at the same time.Each and every introvert is unique in their own way, not all of us react or act the same way but we're not as cold-hearted as people think we are. We have feelings too... Athena is exactly like a secondary character in movies or books. The kind of character we despise or that we don't pay much attention to. Bree and James are usually the protagonists. The lead character, the prince and the gay friend, who apparently has no other life than be devoted to the lead! A typical classic combination often found in romantic movies and books. This case is different, it's from a different perspective, from the point of view which is an outsider of this original combination. The feelings of this secondary character, her events, her point of views. I hope that you'll be able to allow Athena and sometimes James to express themselves. Worth a try, don't you think?

Minor Changes by sun_flower_strong

They've lived together; they've lived apart. Turns out you can miss someone terribly, even if they're just across the room. * * a/n: Most of the story takes place in 2020/21, and while I strove to stay true to real-life events/ timelines, there may be instances where creative license presides. Comments and feedback are more than welcome. Enjoy!

You Like Me?! | ✓ by stillclo

"So, let me get this straight," I looked at him weirdly, raising my hands slightly in exclamation. "You like me?!" I asked him in disbelief. "Like or like-like?" I really can't get my head to process his words at the moment. "Is it weird that I don't." He simply replied, his voice sounded calm but serious at the same time. "And for your question, I do. I do like-like you. Like, I really like you. To the point that you're the only thing that's on my mind everyday and I can't seem to get you off it." I was literally standing there like an idiot, slowing blinking my eyes in a slow pace, still can't believe what's actually happening in front of me. ______________________________ ( Partially Edited.)

The Bad Boy Saved Me by Pentatonix21

Do you ever wonder what life would be like if it were a movie? Or some sappy romance novel that you wish your life could be like but it's not? Sometimes you may even get to caught up in the fictional world that you don't realise it IS fictional. Then when you do realise life isn't what you convinced yourself it would be, there is only one possible outcome. Depression. Which may lead to anxiety, self-harm, low self esteem, and worst of all, losing the people you love. Life works in weird ways. Not just for you but for others too. Take Cassidy Rivers for example. Her life is far from perfect. No parents, over protective big brother, few friends, and Asher Norman, the bad boy who won't stop picking on her. Could life get any worse for Cassidy?

Four Little Words | ONC2020 by OnceUponASonder

"The roses are dead, The violets are too, Don't mention romance, You'll make me spew." Francesca Burton knows all there is to know about love and romance. She knows that love is for the naïve and romance is for the delusional. Her parents taught her that. So, there is absolutely no chance that some (admittedly) good-looking, (vaguely) charming, (annoyingly) lopsided-grinning, golden boy is going to convince her otherwise. End of story. Except it isn't. Because they have to do a school project together. And the golden boy just said four little words that are going to change everything - irrevocably and forever... "I have an idea."
