Polar opposites sharing bunk beds and possibly falling in love in the process. Alex would not believe it in a billion years. 

*****

Alex is an only child, a force of nature, and an academic machine. At least, she likes to focus on those aspects of her life. At night she dwells on past heartbreak, stalks her dad's perfect mistress, and powers through panic attacks. 

It's a nice little bubble she's constructed, and only one person is strong enough to trespass it. 

It wasn't Jonathan's intention to land up in the house of the girl who most despises him, much less to take up a bunk bed in her room, but there's not much of a choice at hand. His father kicked him out, his mother turned his back on him, and his life turned on its head in an instant. 

After all, it's hard to keep everything the same when you suddenly have a roommate. 

A plethora of movie nights, heated arguments and surprising reveals later, neither of them know what to believe anymore. How can you hate the only person who can truly give you peace? 

Alex may be excellent at climbing the ladder that separates her from her lovely predicament, but she may not be ready for the fall that comes next.

His soft hum vibrates through the space between us, the quiet chuckle he lets out against my earlobe sending a shiver down my spine. His voice is low, dangerous, as he leans in closer, his breath warm against my skin. "You can keep lying to yourself," Morgan whispers, his words dripping with challenge. "Pretend that once we leave this school-once we graduate-you'll forget me. Forget the way I make you feel, Alex." His lips ghost along my jawline. "But we both know the truth, don't we? You don't want to forget me." I yank hard on the collar of his shirt, pulling him closer, our lips brushing in a fleeting, electric touch that leaves me breathless. My voice trembles with equal parts anger and desire. "I hate you. So. Fucking. Much." The words hiss out, but my grip on his shirt only tightens. Morgan smirks, his fingers trailing along the hem of my shorts, igniting fire and fury all at once. His dark eyes bore into mine, daring me to deny what's between us. "I know, baby," he murmurs, his grin widening into something wicked. "The feeling's mutual ................ The seemingly mundane confines of detention become the backdrop for an unexpected and tumultuous journey for two high school students, Alexandra and Morgan. Alexandra, an underachieving student, battling the loss of her brother, and Morgan, a rebellious troublemaker, couldn't be more different. When fate lands them in the same detention room one fateful Monday, sparks fly, but not the kind one might expect. Their interactions are fraught with tension and snarky remarks, each vying for dominance in the small, confined space of the detention room. As they navigate the challenges of detention together, they also confront their own personal demons, discovering that they have more in common than they gathered. But just as they start to let their guards down and open up to each other, secrets from their past threaten to tear them apart. •••••••••••• 𝐃𝐄𝐓𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐈

Leah and Alex have been best friends forever, which is super convenient-except they're both completely oblivious to the fact that they're in love with each other. Clearly, they should be together, but hey, why make things easy? Instead, they spend years dancing around their feelings like it's a complicated game of "who can mess up their life more." And honestly, if they just talked to each other once or twice, this whole mess would've been over in...* drum roll * ...* drum roll intensifies * ...a chapter ! But nope, they'd rather be dramatic, make bad decisions, and send a million texts that never get answered. Will they finally stop being idiots and admit their feelings? Maybe. But don't hold your breath! These two somehow always miss their shot, even though it's written in neon lights . From accidental pregnancies to missing flights, life seems to go out of its way to throw obstacles in their path. They text, they don't text, they live in different countries, they don't live in different countries, and they make every bad decision possible-except the one that actually fixes everything. Will they figure it out, or will they keep being ridiculously stubborn for the next decade? A hilariously ( I hope) messy love story about the "right person, wrong time," or maybe just the "wrong people, right awful timing." °•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°••°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•

how far would you go . . . for someone you love? ♔ Levi steps forward, placing himself between me and Jack. Like he's protecting me from him. But I don't need protecting, certainly not from Jack. "Who do you think you are, dude?" Levi spits, getting in Jack's face. "Look, Scarlett was just helping me out with a proj-" "I'm not your dude," Jack bites, and I want to tear my hair out of my head. This is going downhill very fast. Jack turns to me. "Scar, we need to talk," he says lowly. Then loud enough for Levi to hear, "So can you please get this kid to leave." "Hey, you don't get to come in here and start ordering her around," Levi says harshly. "You don't control her." "And you think that you do?" Jack spits. ♔ When Scarlett moved off to college, she hoped to start anew and find her way in this world alone. Two problems. One: her older brother goes to the same college, and it seems like he's everywhere, keeping her from doing everything she hoped to do as a college freshman. Two: her brother's devastatingly handsome best friend also seems hell-bent on ruining her college experience . . . but in a different way. Their paths keep crossing, and Scarlett is reminded of the powerful attraction that they've both ignored for far too long. Not to mention, a new face begins to occupy everyday Scarlett's thoughts. When Scarlett is paired with an allusive, darkly handsome stranger for a film project, her world begins to open in ways she never thought possible. But as his mystery unravels into dark secrets, she wonders if she's falling a bit too hard. Before long, Scarlett is forced to realize that balancing the hearts of two boys at once just might result in the breaking of her own.
