_________

Indigo Marlowe, a senior. Living with her mother after her parent's divorce,she had to work after school to make ends meet and pay school fees. Waitress by day and a DJ by night.

Music is her constant, the one that has gotten her through the tough times. 

~~~~~~

"Indigo Marlowe!!!" 

The yelling makes me open my eyes and stop singing. Everyone in the class is staring at me and Mr. Smith's face is red and looks like the steam would come out of his ears any moment now. I gulped. 

I instantly realize why everyone is staring at me. I had been singing in the class. Again. 

I'm officially dead this time.

_________

Rowan Lennox, son of the mayor. Music is his life. He is the golden boy of the school, the star of the school. The senior year is the last chance, his last shot at his dreams. But like always there's a problem.

~~~~~~

"Mr. Lennox, I'm sorry to inform you but the condition of your-", I cut him off mid sentence. I already know what's coming next. All of them have the same thing to say. I can hear my parents calling name as I go out.

Storming out of the clinic I slid into the backseat of the car. I look out at the moving trees, the rustling of leaves due to wind. 

Sinking back into the seat I throw my hand oven my head. The guy I just met was the specialist, one of the best. If he can't find a solution then I don't know who can.

________

Two different people, two polar opposites with only one thing common, Music.

One unfortunate or rather fortunate event, that's what it takes for their paths to cross.  Sparks to fly. And for them to come face to face with each other. 

Will they realize that they are same in more ways than one or will their pride come in their way?

________

Join me in the journey of Indigo and Rowan's love story and ofcourse music 🎶.

"That's fine by me because as far as I personally am concerned, I could never love you either! A monster such as yourself doesn't deserve love! Not when you treat people INCLUDING girls the way you do! So go ahead and act all high and above everybody, but let me remind you, you will never be anything more than a lowlife, egotistical, womanizing, selfish, dumb little boy trying to be a man who will die alone! I may not be a thin pornstar or barbie-model type of a girl but just remember, YOU pushed ME away!" I shouted back and stood there for a moment feeling a mix of emotions.

"that's rich coming from a pretty boy" I narrow my eyes. "I'm not a pretty boy." He smirks standing from the desk and reaching forward twirling a piece of my hair between his fingers. "not in the traditional sense no...but you still bleed daddy's money" I reach up gripping his wrist, maybe harder then necessary; suddenly angry. "you don't know me Jasper, don't pretend you do" He sucks in a breath before leaning forward and putting his mouth next to my ear "I know you're so desperate for me, you can't fucking think straight" My breath catches and my eyes flick up meeting his not believing I heard what I did, but there's no denying it when he pushes me against his door and his lips meet my own hungry, angry, frustrated. ••• Jasper Collins is not expecting to ever step foot inside Balton's Boys School. A private behavioural school for those who can afford it, but after one too many expulsions and a scholarship opportunity Jasper finds himself stuck in a place filled with pretty boys who've done nothing worse then forget to shine their silver spoon.

Don't judge, try to know first. _________________________________ She is rude. He is polite and friendly. She is irritable. He is calm. People want to stay away from her. And he pushes people away from him. What happens when these two completely different persons become each other's company? __________________ _____________ "The more I'm trying to know you, Sid, the more I'm getting confused," I smirk, "I don't think that I can ever get you." "You better not to try," he says with a boyish grin. _ ___________________ ______ Knowing any boy's character never seemed that hard to her before, until she meets him. Getting any girl was never that hard for him, until he meets her. Both of them are not that what they show and both of them had bitter experiences in past what they don't want anyone to know. But what happens when their secrets get revealed. Will they still stay together? Or let each stay alone? [Hey people, let me tell you one thing - this story is a simple story. It doesn't contain any smuts or sexual stuff. So, if you're looking for that kind of story then don't read this. It's an innocent, clean, teenage love story, where my characters are not so good looking, not so special and not so popular. So, it's definitely not like the other teenage love stories you have read before, where the girl is described as an angel from heaven and the boy is described as a famous, handsome bad boy. I'm not insulting anybody, I just want to say that a girl doesn't need to be extremely pretty or a boy doesn't need to be insanely rich and popular to get love in their lives. "Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder." So, hope you're gonna appreciate my message and give my story a big thumbs up up. Please don't forget to hit the star button if u liked my story and u can also pm me if u find any mistake or you can tell me how to make it better.]

London's chilly weather has to be one of my favourites. Especially when walking through the streets at night with almost no one around. The silence of the empty city is only heard by one of my ears as I have one AirPod in. I finally go inside the pharmacy, making my way to the hair products aisle. Picking up a vanilla-scented pair of shampoo and conditioner, I head to the self-checkout. I pay for my purchase and walk out the automatic doors, bumping into someone almost instantly. The sound of a heavy object hitting the ground startled me and I look over to the person asking if they're okay, I'm met with the green-eyed gaze of a man who held my arm to help me not fall like the thing that was on his back, which looks like a guitar case... Is it broken?! - This story is based on the song "No One Knows" by Stephen Sanchez featuring Laufey. - Lana decided to enjoy her early 20s as a physical education student and just moved to London, but only knows Charlotte, a girl she met during a trip to the city almost a decade ago. When she arrived Charlotte introduced her to Owen, who has been her best friend since birth. Lana started working as a barista and met Isaac, a man who was classmates with Owen a couple years back, and is also her coworker who seemed to enjoy playfully hitting on her, or making her life a living hell, as she would say. They can't live around each other without their usual bickering sessions that seem to never come to an end, yet, they're in the same friend group. // *I don't write smut, so please don't ask me to :) // 02/01/2025 - #35 friendgroup 10/01/2025 - #27 coworkers 11/01/2025 - #24 barista 10/01/2025 - #23 suggestive 10/01/2025 - #4 gentlelove

She's practically a musical prodigy at 16 and music can't possibly be taken away from her. The only people she's ever been really close to are her psycho, over enthusiastic bff's. They're the only people she can tolerate anyway. That's until one fateful day when she meets a cocky, narcissistic, though really cute guy at her favourite fro yo shop who gets under her skin for just being himself. She absolutely detests guys like him. Absolutely gorgeous, frustratingly charming, cocky as hell and shockingly talented at music. That's right. Star discovers that this seemingly unbearable guy loves music almost as much as she does and just that single fact makes her heart soften a little so she lets her guard down for just a tiny bit. But after that one moment that she decides to let it down, she realises that she can't get it back up again. She discovers she can actually feel things and once she acknowledges this, her whole world is completely changed from the quiet, peaceful, drama free life she has always been used to into a series of drama, heartbreak, tears, broken trusts and friendships. |Featured X1| @romance(high school romance)
