Living with your ex-best friend should honestly be illegal. Especially when that ex-best friend is Manu, the same guy who broke our promise, broke whatever we were, and somehow still manages to mess with my head every time he walks into the room.
He says I didn't let him explain. Maybe he's right. But what for? He already broke my trust the moment he chose a different program, acting like the promise we made meant nothing. And I'm supposed to just sit there and listen? Pretend it didn't hurt like hell?
And yeah, maybe I befriended a guy in our org. Maybe it was for "self-exploration." Maybe it was a little bit out of spite. If Manu wanted me out of his life so badly, then he shouldn't care who I talk to or what I do-right? Right.
Except he does care. I see it in every glare, every slammed door, every stupid argument we fall into at 2 a.m. Somewhere along the line, all that anger twisted into something I hate knowing is still there: want. Maybe even something deeper I'm not ready to name.
Enemies. Roommates. Something more? I don't know.
All I know is this isn't just a story about falling in love. It's about facing the person you thought you'd already lost-and realizing he might not be gone after all.

Falling Fast
There are a few things that can make you feel as if you are living in an American high school drama - teachers complaining about the height of your skirt, your twin brother being the most popular and most sought-after boy at school, hurtful rumours that make you want to curl up and cry, punching the guy who cheated on your best friend, and falling for totally hot, totally sexy night-class professor because he's simply drool worthy and those rolled 'R's are the sexiest thing on the planet. Factor in crazy parties, Halloween costumes, fending off not-so-drunken make-out sessions, the school bad-boy, late-night snacks from McDonald's, revenge and a smart-ass dad, and the stage is set for my somewhat tragic social life.

Unhealthy Obsession |18+|
-Let's get this straight. From a dead end job to a useless crazy ex boyfriend- my happiness is with my best friend yet the fear of our relationship ending completely scares me and id rather fake it and be in fear than find out and never be happy. It sucks, seeing him everyday and knowing what i feel for him and how deep those feelings go is painful...- But when he comes around everything changes for the best and for the worst. As a whole they are deeply loved and equally as hated by others but the love from one another is undeniable, if only she wasnt so selfish with her choices and words- -Lying, cheating, sneaking, crying- many acts and emotions come from within when there's someone you love unaware of that love.. Possibly growing to love someone else right before your eyes..Its gut wrenching, i know because ive fucked up. Its worse when you're aware of the harm you cause yourself and others but dont care how the outcome turns out to be. Why would it matter how it effects you if youre used to pain and people leaving? it wouldnt. All because you take comfort in your own mind and mental illness, once you realize you have freewill it may become a bad thing if youre careless.- - Gabriella White.Complete

Hey, Stranger
From messy crayons in kindergarten to secret jokes in elementary, they were a pair the world couldn't imagine apart. Then high school happened. One day, he stopped talking. No explanation. No goodbye. Just distance. Sharp, confusing, and painful in ways she never learned to name. She tried to understand. He never gave her a reason. And slowly, they became strangers with shared memories. Years later, college brings them back on the same campus - not quite friends, not truly strangers. Different programs, but fate keeps putting them in the same room, the same meetings, the same moments that feel a little too familiar for people who lost each other. She looks at him and remembers everything. He looks at her and pretends he doesn't. But the silence between them still asks the question she once whispered to the universe: Now, surrounded by new lives and old feelings, they must face the truth they ran from - that sometimes the people you lose aren't gone. They're just waiting for the right time to find their way back.Complete
