After enduring the past year with heartache and unrelenting guilt, Andrea Devitto hopes the next one will be better. She decides to take up the offer of attending Rivera Arts, a notorious performing arts university located in the heart of Los Angeles. Ditching the hefty winds of Chicago for the sunny rays of California, Andrea thinks that—along with her collection of booze—immersing herself in her music will be the thing that helps her forget. 

Except, she has a hard time doing so with Darien Emek, an uprising singer and part-time womanizer. He keeps poking his nose in her business, especially in places where it doesn’t belong. With a choice of either loving him or punching him, Andrea finds herself particularly fond of the latter.All Rights Reserved

The Unspoken Vows by writersspirit22

This story revolves around Arjun who is pressured by his family and political advisors to get married to improve his public image. A girl Meera, from a modest background, is chosen because of her 'simple' reputation, believed to be the perfect quiet political wife. Neither of them is thrilled, but both agree for their families sake. The wedding is grand but devoid of emotion. But love has a way of creeping in, even in the coldest places. As they navigate a life built on unspoken expectations, they find themselves caught in a storm of high emotions. Meera, who was meant to be a shadow, refuses to disappear. Arjun, who was never meant to care, finds himself drawn to the fire in her eyes. Together, they endure the relentless storms of politics, personal battles, and the pain of a love that neither of them dares to name. There are no grand confessions, no promises spoken aloud. But in the spaces between anger and understanding, between distance and longing, something fragile yet unbreakable begins to grow. This is not a love story of easy romance-it is a love forged in suffering, in resilience, in the quiet strength of standing beside each other through every heartbreak. It is a story of unsaid words, of love that is felt rather than spoken. It is the story of their unspoken vows.

The Scholarship Cinderella by CookieZhai

Lana Cruz, a small-town girl with dreams of becoming an architect, earns a full scholarship to the prestigious Weston University. Known for her striking beauty, Lana unintentionally becomes the center of attention on campus. Despite her humble background, she's thrust into a world of wealth, privilege, and drama, where everyone assumes her looks are her ticket to success. Lana's determination to keep a low profile backfires hilariously. From accidentally winning a beauty pageant she entered to get free snacks, to becoming the muse for a pretentious art major who insists on painting her during every public event, Lana finds herself in ridiculous situations. Her unfiltered honesty and quick wit only make her more popular, much to her embarrassment. Her charm attracts the attention of the aloof heir to a billion-dollar fortune, Ryan Ashford, and his snobby, elitist friends. While he seems genuinely drawn to her authenticity, his circle sees her as nothing more than a gold digger. To prove her worth, Lana must navigate jealousy, sabotage, and misunderstandings-all while maintaining her grades and working odd jobs to make ends meet.

Isolation (modified) by maynardhigh

**an improved version of Isolation - the same story but rewritten to be more mature, and a better read** Megan Hayes and Logan Brooks are your typical, rebellious teenagers that spend more time in the school isolation room than an actual classroom. Well, that's Logan anyway, who's so close to expulsion that even getting a bad score on a class quiz could get him thrown out. They both attend a private school in the small town which consists of rules stricter than a prison, and a bunch of stuck up pupils with IQ's higher than Albert Einstein's. When Megan ends up falling to sleep in class because of the previous late night she had watching 'Keeping up with the Kardashians' until 1am with her Mum, she gets dropped in an after school detention faster than you can say "oops". But who knew that sitting through a detention, and later in an isolated room with Logan could quite possibly make the school she despises actually worth going to. And who knew that in the 5 years of going to the school, the only person she actually becomes close with (and I mean really close) is the guy shooting paper spitballs at the teacher.

Painted in Love by Harmony5891

Sariah's first year at Clark University is supposed to be about new beginnings, independence, and finding her path. But as she steps into the unknown, she finds herself caught between the expectations of who she *should* be and the person she's beginning to uncover beneath the surface. Her journey of self-discovery takes an unexpected turn when she meets Mercedes, her eclectic, Afrocentric, crystal-loving roommate who introduces Sariah to a side of her culture she's never fully explored. Mercedes' unapologetic embrace of her black roots and spiritual practices forces Sariah to confront the parts of her identity she's kept hidden or ignored, opening her eyes to a deeper connection to her culture. At the same time, Sariah finds herself paired with Drew, a mysterious and artistic classmate, for a challenging art project. Initially, Drew seems like just another classmate-but as their collaboration deepens, Sariah begins to see him in a different light. With Drew, she finds herself questioning more than just her art; she begins to wonder if she's ready to open her heart and take a leap into something more than just a creative partnership. Sariah navigates the messy, beautiful, and transformative process of learning who she really is, embracing her culture, and discovering that sometimes, the path to self-awareness is more about the people we meet than the answers we seek. A tale of friendship, love, and self-empowerment, this coming-of-age story is a celebration of what it means to find your roots while forging your own identity.
