After facing more trauma than the average person witnesses, Iris is on a mission to forget and move on. Living in a world where all she does is breathe and not enjoy life, Iris is just present in this world but not actually there: suppressing her emotions and what makes her human. But then comes in the person who's the living, breathing representation of what she's been running from. 

Reece isn't your average bad boy, he's complicated and struggles with finding his identity and accepting the quality's he already possesses. Running on a hamster wheel of worry and inner turmoil, there's more to Reece than being a jerk. After meeting Iris again, he finally puts together the pieces and realizes how much she's been drowning this whole time, with no hand to pull her out. But would he be able to help even with all the bad life has handled him?

As Reece and Iris struggle to break the bubble of tensions and walk on eggshells around one another, they soon begin to realize that they are exactly what the other needs. But, would that be enough to cut the chains that have been dragging them down for so long? Would it really be enough for Iris to accept the past and live life normally once again? Or would it be the beginning of something that could never last? A beautiful tragedy perhaps? Can it be enough or would Nathan be the one for Iris instead? Maybe even another mysterious man?

Rivaled Hearts by addiew_08
10 parts Ongoing Mature
Meet Tanner Bailey, the typical college jock-towering, broad-shouldered, and always dressed in a tight-fitting letterman jacket that seems like it's barely holding in his inflated ego. His chiseled features and confidence make him the envy of his teammates and the object of many students' admiration, but behind that athletic exterior lies a personality as sour as his smirk. Tanner is the type of guy who relishes in making others feel small, using his popularity and physical prowess to intimidate and belittle anyone he deems beneath him, which is practically everyone. To him, the world revolves around his needs and desires, and anyone who doesn't fall in line is just another target for his bullying. Beneath the surface, he hides a deep insecurity, but he'll never let anyone see it-not if he can keep up his act as the school's golden boy. Meet Harper Avery, a force to be reckoned with-brilliant, beautiful, and always in control. With striking features that could stop traffic, she's the girl everyone notices when she walks into a room. Her style is impeccable, always dressed to impress, and she carries herself with a confidence that turns heads and commands attention. But Harper isn't just a pretty face; she's one of the smartest people you'll ever meet. Top of her class, she excels in everything she puts her mind to, whether it's academics, debate, or any of the numerous clubs she leads. Harper is ambitious, and she knows exactly what she wants in life. She's not afraid to push others to meet her high standards, which can make her come off as bossy or even ruthless at times. Some find her intimidating, and there's no denying that she can be demanding. Tanner and Harper had always been on opposite sides of the schools social spectrum- she couldn't stand his entitled attitude, and he couldn't bear her constant need to prove she was better than everyone else, especially him. To outsiders, they were natural-born enemies, two forces destined to oppose each other.
