Autumn Sommers wants to forget what happened on the bus. It was three years ago, but avoiding Alex Wolf has become standard, especially since everyone knows about his secret sketchbook-and the drawings of her inside. The incident followed them from junior-high and now, in their sophomore year, the two have been paired on a project.

Autumn just wants to get through it. She needs to maintain her grades to keep her terrible Aunt Milly from moving back in, but working with Alex might be impossible since they have to pretend to be a couple for their assignment. Forced to put their past on hold, the two focus on their fictitious relationship until the lines between real and fake get blurred, and they discover there might be some truth to the façade. But things have changed since seventh grade. Alex has a secret, and it could mean the end of their new friendship...and more.

After everything they've been through, Autumn isn't sure she can go back to the way it was. With their project-and her heart-on the line, she'll need to prepare for whatever happens, even if it means a return to silence with the boy she wants the most.All Rights Reserved

Is it possible? by The0neAnd0nlyy

Alicia's senior year got a surprise twist when Vincent, her childhood enemy, enrolls at her high school. It all started with a problem - Alicia was having a tough time with physics, a subject that just didn't make sense to her. Her grades were dropping, and she was getting worried. Then, something unexpected happened: their physics teacher asked Vincent to help Alicia out as a tutor. Even though they'd never been friends, Vincent was actually quite skilled at physics and he stepped up to help her. But, there's another twist. Vincent wanted something in return. He wanted Alicia to pretend to be his girlfriend. Alicia was surprised by this proposal, feeling a mix of uncertainty and nervousness. Deciding what to do wasn't easy, and she wasn't sure how it might change her last year in high school. As they navigate their pretend romance, Alicia discovers a side of Vincent she never knew existed. In a story of transformation and unexpected romance, Alicia and Vincent learn that people can change, and even old enemies can evolve into something more. As senior year unfolds, they must confront their past, embrace the present, and decide if the emotions they've developed are authentic.
