Open Novella Contest III Entry, based on Romance Prompt #66 - GameSetMatch, a new dating app/game that promises to find your soulmate, matches you with that one ex you hate, and who dumped you in a way you'll always remember.

Vivian Giuliani is an extremely single, high school literature teacher, who spends most of her Friday evenings at home grading papers, and most of her Saturday nights binging BBC period dramas. With her thirtieth birthday on the horizon, her family and friends have increased the pressure on her to find a boyfriend. Especially her cousin and colleague Laura, who not only convinced her to join a dating app months prior, but has now also strong-armed her into attending the next faculty happy hour, so she can talk to the cute new PE teacher, Ryan Pierce.

But then, on that same day, after five months of membership, the app finally turns up a lone match. Unfortunately, it happens to be the one ex who broke her heart, and made her bury it under those mountains of papers and books since then. Viv is aghast that Donovan Trask is her supposed perfect match out of the 6 million possible registered candidates. But since she wants to be with her soulmate and this might be a real shot at lasting love, Viv knows she's going to have to turn the page, and see where the story takes her.All Rights Reserved

The Best Kind of Betrayal by scout245

It's the first day of June's senior year and everything is already going wrong. Her first boyfriend and supposedly love of her life dumps her for someone else, her heart is broken and feels like it won't ever heal again and her best friend makes her join the most unnecessary club on earth to help her find new friends she most definitely does not need. Still. New chances are for new beginnings, right? Instead of falling into a deep dark pit of self pity (however tempting that may sound), all of this betrayal ends up leading her to the best friends she's ever had and the most exciting school year of her life. Oh - and a whole new fake boyfriend, to get some revenge on that idiot who dumped her. And who knows. Maybe even more.

Mr. Halloway's Pet by aataaraaxy

"If you loved me, I wouldn't be a secret." °•°•°•° Paige is the luckiest girl in the world...according to her and maybe every girl in Bishop High-that is if they knew her dirty little secret. Not only is she boning the hottest guy in school, but that guy happens to be Ethan Halloway, Bishop High's most beloved English teacher. As their scandalous flirtationship advances, Paige finds many obstacles in her path to winning him for herself-obstacles that allow her to both gain a new perspective and grow in a way she hadn't prepared herself for. ••• This story will be unhinged and everywhere, my mental has been wildin over the course of writing this. The main character is going to be kind of everywhere with her feelings and honestly it could be a representation of how differently someone with bp feels daily and how frustrating not having a grasp on the mind and emotions can be. On that note; ***TRIGGER WARNING*** Mentions of depression, suicide, and mental illness will be heavily laced into this story.

At First Sight by LilWitch726

Not your average rejection story. Usually the boy does something stupid - and keeps being stupid - the girl forgives and forgets and gets pulled in by the mate bond. Ignoring all his transgressions because 'the bond said so'. Not this time, sometimes fate gets it wrong and sometimes you grow out of things; like love. Vivian Clark is a mostly normal girl, as normal as you can be when you're more than eccentric mother is the head of a coven of witches. Something that; according to her, is a long standing tradition and more people need their apothecary than Viv realizes. While Vivian practices magic and identifies as a witch, it's more of a religion than a lifestyle in her eyes. She doesn't know there are very real powers laying dormant in her bloodline, and very real creatures that not only lurk in the night but often lurk on her doorstep. Trevor Erikson; a hot shot jock, a playboy, and Mr. Popularity, he could have any girl he wants and often does. Going from one to another and enjoying every minute of it. Despite the fact that he's a werewolf and an alpha's son, he could care less about fated mates or finding a luna for his pack. Which he'll eventually take over at the end of the school year. He doesn't take it too well when his fated mate shows up unannounced, and he does what any asshole would do. He rejects her at first sight. How will the two manage with a rejection floating between them for the remainder of the school year? ************************************** A fast-paced romance with mature scenes, all based in a fantasy world. If that's your vibe this is your story to read. This is my second work and I had to get it out of my brain cause it's all I could think of while writing a completely different book, there will be slow updates.

He keeps giving her mixed signals and it's confusing where she stands with him. **** Tom Wiltshire is trying to get back with his ex fiancee that's why he can't afford to have any distraction. If there's anything what rugby taught him, it's about taking control, that's why he is one of the top rugby players in the country. But after one kiss on a crazy night out with friends in Bournemouth, his wisdom was shaken. The attraction was too much to bear no matter how hard he tries to suppress it. Which is a major problem. She's the exact opposite of his ideal. But just one look into her amber almost golden eyes, the 'control' that rugby taught him for years has completely gone out of the window. Until someone makes it even more complicated than it already is. Will there be a future in-store for Riley and Tom? ------ UK based story Word Count: 80,000+ words **** Rank 1 - Friendship 06/03/2023 Rank 2 - Rugby 11/09/2024
