19-year-old Akwasi Appiah has spent his entire life struggling in a small fishing town on the coast of Ghana. But all that comes to a surprising end when he's offered a scholarship to study in one of the best private universities in the country. 

Penfield University is home to The Sharks, and being a passionate swimmer, Akwasi ventures out to join this swim team, reuniting with his childhood friend, Ethan. Thrown head first into the struggles of uni life, Akwasi tries his best to juggle his academics, swim meets, as well as his affection for a certain ambitious club president, who he may not even stand a chance with. And as if handling the herculean task of love isn't enough, jealously finds its way into Akwasi's life when he winds up as a tough competitor for Ethan in the battle for the title of Penfield's Greatest Swimmer. 

Some may argue that in sports, a little competition is good... until it results in an innocent person's death, then the whole story changes. And as investigations are conducted and confessions are made, Akwasi soon realises that some friendships are worth more than titles and medals.

Status = ♡ ---- This is gonna be kinda cliche and basic. Dont really care that it is. I will also do my best to keep it as pg as possible.

love always, noah | Rewriting by softdreams_x

❝You'll always be the Golden Boy, but deep down, you're just an empty trophy.❞ **** Natalia Winters knows all about second place. For years, she's been clawing her way to the top-meticulously planning, studying until her vision blurs, and sacrificing sleep for success-all to keep up with everyone else's effortless brilliance. She's the girl who never feels good enough, who measures her worth against grades and achievements, who works twice as hard just to avoid falling into the void of mediocrity. And at every step of the way, there's Noah West: her lifelong rival, her mirror image of perfection, and her greatest source of frustration. Now, as senior year hurtles toward its finale, Natalia is determined to prove she's more than second best. But when Leo Martinez-Noah's best friend and the kind of charming that feels effortless-enters the picture, Natalia starts to believe she might deserve more than a life spent measuring up. Caught between her relentless pursuit of success and the whirlwind of complicated feelings she's been avoiding, Natalia must confront the truth she's been running from: what if being perfect isn't what she wants? And what if the boy she's spent years trying to beat has been on her side all along? Sometimes the person you've been fighting against is the only one who truly sees you. _______________________________________________________________________________ Start Date: 05.05.20 End Date: 29.05.20 Word Count: [[90,000-100,000]] #1 in TeenFiction 12/09/20 #1 in Abuse 09/11/20 100.000 Reads: 17/10/20 200.000 Reads: 12/06/21 240.000 Reads: 27/09/24
