The reader can freely decide the protagonist's gender, as it remains unspecified across the first POV. 

Curious by nature, Noah Westwood's seemingly uneventful college life takes an unexpected turn when saved by Jamie O'Dea, a dashing member of a band on the rise with secrets of his own. Little did Noah know that a mild interest during his music tour would turn into something more: a connection. Facing a premature existential crisis and an irrational fear of death, Noah finds purpose in life for the first time.

With only several hours left to bond and time ticking against them, they attempt to learn more about each other through deep conversations about life, death and everything in-between, all while exploring hidden wonders of different cities.

Confronted by an inner voice, Noah's deadly obsession grows stronger by the minute but Jamie's demons are holding him back. What happens when success and desire clash? Will these secrets be enough to tear them apart? Ultimately, will love prevail?

Chill Out, Sir by RandomCatxx

(COMPLETED AND EXTREMELY CRINGY AT TIMES. MANY PLOT HOLES TOO LOL. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED.) When 17-year-old Danielle Brooks is caught for underground fighting, she didn't know what to expect. Having left an abusive household and school at the age of 15, Danielle was left to fend for herself. Now back in high school to finish her senior year, what she really did not expect is to see a certain someone by the name of Matt Roberts, the grumpy guy who had fought with her just before she was caught. To top it off, he's her English teacher. Danielle is certainly not prepared for what is to come, especially when a piece from her abusive past has come back to get her... (First of all, I wrote this is 2011 when I was only 13 and this story plot was the hype in Wattpad. I admit this story is extremely cringy at times but I still feel hurt seeing some placing this under "Trash" or something like that considering I had taken so much time and effort to complete this for those who did appreciate this.)

Secret Match - Season 1 by 1GreenYellow

🏀 Noah Carter has rules. Basketball first, no distractions, and definitely no messing around with teammates. Being openly gay in college ball isn't always easy, but he's earned his respect-on and off the court. 🏀 Ethan Brooks has secrets. He's a freshman, a rising star, and still figuring himself out. The last thing he needs? Anyone knowing what he does when no one's watching. They were supposed to be just teammates. Until a late-night match on a dating app leads them straight to each other. Neither of them knew. Neither of them expected to meet. And one of them isn't ready to face it. 📖 Ongoing serial story! No set path, just chemistry, drama, and wherever the game takes them. 🏀🏀🏀 This is for readers over the age of 18 and older! contains sexual explicit content. This is totally fictional so everything about college and basketball and rules are completely made up. This is a serial story, I don't know where the story is going to end but one thing I can say its a slow-burn MM romance.

How to make your teacher fall in love with you by mrsduncanjames

In an instant his lips were on mine, and without even knowing how, I felt myself succumbing to him. I pulled away quickly, but both of his hands went around me as he caressed my cheek, and then his lips crushed against mine again, this time with much more urgency. I wanted to stop him, but I found that I couldn't. I let myself kiss him and give up what I believed in, after all, it was this that I needed to do if I wanted to succeed in the dare. And to be fair, I didn't really mind, Mr James was more than attractive. Ella is a typical seventeen year old girl who, on the first day of school, becomes friends with the wrong group of people, who threaten her to flirt with her teacher and make him fall for her. Ella is left with no choice but to do this, and day by day, she tries to get as close to her very attractive art teacher as she possibly could. However, in the midst of this, she starts realising that she actually does like Mr Edward James more than she thinks she ever would. On the other hand, her teacher struggles to stay away from the student whom he finds himself falling for. And at the same time, he has another struggle: he is being blackmailed by someone who knows all about his dark past, and his present: the interest that he has in a certain student.

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.
