Zaria was just the ordinary, average, 17 year old. She was cruising through High School with stellar grades, and on the other hand was quite attractive, although she never craved the attention. Adam, her best friend since childhood, and her father were the only people she cared to have in her life, and she was perfectly content this way. Just her Dad, Adam, and she.
Everything in her life was perfect just the way it was, until what she thought would be just another ordinary day turned out to be the day that her whole life would crumble apart...

Love Me Like We Used To
They were inseparable - until they weren't. Now, they barely speak. Eighteen-year-old Amaria and Elias were childhood best friends. Late-night calls, secret handshakes, inside jokes - they knew each other better than anyone else. That is, until something happened in Year 13 that tore them apart. Whispers. Betrayal. Silence. Amaria is stepping into her first year of university-Year 14-with high hopes, a fresh start, and her best friend Zara by her side. She's ready to focus on her degree, leave the drama of secondary school behind, and grow into herself. But the past isn't done with her yet. Elias, the boy she ghosted after an emotional confession at the end of Year 13, is not only attending the same university-but he's in the same seminar group. What starts as stolen glances and awkward silences quickly reignites into tension, confusion, and the kind of chemistry that never really disappeared. Elias's older brother, Noah, is also on campus-more grounded and protective, offering occasional advice and support, especially when things between Elias and Amaria get messy. As Amaria balances her coursework, complicated emotions, and the realities of adulting, she's forced to reckon with the pain she left behind-and decide whether she's brave enough to stop running from it. Amaria's still guarded, still bruised by everything he didn't say back then. Elias? He acts like nothing happened, but there's guilt hiding behind his easy smile and that same look in his eyes whenever he's near her.

Lost In The Hallway
--- ✨ Story Description Sierra Vale has always been the quiet one-the girl who slips through crowded hallways with her sketchbook clutched tight and her head full of songs from TikTok trends she'll never dare to post. Her best friend, Zara Castell, is the opposite: bold, dramatic, and the kind of girl who believes life is too short not to take risks. But on the very first day of boarding school, Zara dashes off to call her long-distance boyfriend, leaving Sierra wandering the halls alone... and directly into Theo Frost. Literally. At first, Sierra mistakes him for a wall-until she looks up and finds herself face-to-face with the school's effortlessly confident heartthrob. Theo is charming, teasing, and far too good at making Sierra blush. She wants nothing more than to crawl into a hole and forget the whole thing ever happened. Except fate has other plans. From awkward run-ins to late-night study sessions, hoodie-sharing, and far too many dares pushed on by Zara, Sierra finds herself caught between wanting to disappear and realizing maybe-just maybe-someone like Theo sees her more clearly than she sees herself. A story about first crushes, growing confidence, and finding magic in the most embarrassing moments-The Way You Look at Me is a swoony rom-com full of blushes, banter, and a love that sneaks up when you least expect it. ---
