French boy Benjamin Campbell has decided to move to the UK for a year because he doesn't know what he wants to do with his life. Freshly out of art school, he believes that changing environment and perspectives might help. He was even accepted as a French teaching assistant for the school year in a secondary school.

After his first two years of uni, back in Atlanta, Victor had been sick of hiding his true sexual orientation from his parents. Things had not gone well from then on. Maybe he'd been a bit impulsive when he had applied for the exchange student program, but when he'd heard that his best friend had applied as well, he'd seen it as the best opportunity to get away from his messy life and start over. This is how he and Felix ended up flying overseas to the town of Carthwick, UK.

OR an exchange students AU where Venji meet each other at the turning point of their lives.

Living with a YouTuber?! by SecretNRB
46 parts Complete
This is a sequel, so read "Dating a YouTuber?!" first. I wholeheartedly loved and trusted Nate despite having known him less than a year. I had a million reasons why I shouldn't move in with him but I decided to ignore them and trust my gut feeling rather than my head. I knew people would say it was too soon and that I'd be giving up even more privacy living with a YouTuber who daily vlogged. Slowly but surely I was being wrapped in various YouTube activities and it had become a significant part of my life. I would be busier than ever when I went back to university and continued to run my now high-profile blog. It would be a challenge to juggle the pressure from the online world while attending my responsibilities, finding time for my passions and maintaining all my personal relationships. I didn't mind though. All the pieces seemed to fall into place and I was so bloody excited to see what the future would bring. *********************************************************** If you're confused, please read "Dating a YouTuber?!" first (check my profile). Blogger and photographer Abigail has agreed to move in with Nate, a.k.a. SillyNate on YouTube, and they are keeping it a secret from his YouTube audience for now. While the main characters (who are ALL fictional) still are the focus, this book will also have many cameos from real life YouTubers and draw on real events.

Little did he know how much his life would change in that exact time frame. - "I hate you," I gritted my teeth, a tear daring to slip out. I stepped backwards tying to get away but my back collided against the door. He took another step trapping me in between his arms. My heart thudded loudly in my chest as he brought his face closer to mine with a proud smirk playing out on his lips. The room was dark but I could still see the outline of his face, his eyes, his lips. Fuck. His alluring cologne graced my senses, but clouded my brain as he inched closer to me. "You sure about that?" He raised an eyebrow, amusement evident in his tone. ----- #1 - interracial - 1/27/22 #1 - hot - 2/26/23 #1 - drama - 6/2/22 #1 - cold - 3/3/23 #2 - teenromance - 5/21/22 #2 - tutor - 2/21/22 ----- This book is inspired by the manga series Itazura Na Kiss.

The Exchange Student by repswiftly

[Warning! Not edited!] We just got the news, that five people from our class would be allowed to have an exchange student come over from England. I was thrilled when I heard the news, and I really wanted to be one of them five. Luckily, my wish came true and I was one of the five, but what I didn't expect is to have the most snobby, self-centred, jerk for my British Exchange Student. Jace Nicholls, the very classy (so he thinks he is) British boy that I am stuck with for a week, worse is, that he has to stay in my house. As handsome as he is with his hair and sparkling eyes, I hate him. I thought it'd be fun, but this mean loser is making my life hell. I spend seven days with him, and I'm losing the will to live. Surprisingly, he kinda makes my heart race when I see him, but that's beside the point. I just need to last a week, and I'll never see him again. But at the same time, I don't want to let him go.

"What if I'm not one?" I asked, my body wound tight with tension. "One what?" he asked, his voice soft and low. I hesitated. Was I ready? I wanted to tell him so badly. Wanted to scream it from the fucking rooftops. But there would be no going back if I allowed the words to spill out into the world. Telling myself I didn't need someone else's validation, that I knew myself well enough to know with absolute certainty that I was trans was all good and well in principle. But lying here underneath my bed, with my best friend's body pressed so close to mine I could feel his warm breath on my face, I felt those convictions slip through my fingers. Danny's rejection would break me. In a fundamental way. "One what?" he repeated the question, scooting so close to me the tip of his nose brushed mine. Dust motes danced around us, suspended in mid air, teetering on the brink of this momentous feeling wrapping itself around us. I squeezed my eyes shut, pushing down the rush of anxiety trying to drown me. His nose bumped mine again and his breath ghosted over my lips. I opened my eyes and stared unblinkingly into his. 'A girl', I wanted to say, even though I knew the words would taste sour in my mouth, 'what if I'm not a girl?' -------------------------------------- Sean and Danny have been next door neighbours and best friends since they were six years old.

But that doesn't stop Archer from trying. In fact, it makes him more intrigued in this new, feisty transfer student, more keen to break down all the walls that Riley has worked so hard to keep up for his entire life. Archer can't help but praise him for every little thing he does- in his eyes, Riley was an angel. He knew he was whipped the moment he saw him. What happens when Archer, the top student at Saint Arthur's, suddenly begins to develop an interest in the new transfer student, whose personality is as cold as ice?

"What if the one line you swore never to cross pulled you straight to him? In the haze of desire and danger, they shattered every boundary, risking it all for a forbidden temptation they couldn't resist." "The Lines We Cross" Elias Carter lives boldly, unapologetically, and always on his own terms. A tattoo artist with a magnetic personality and a history of fleeting connections, he's never had to second-guess his charm-until now. His new college roommate is nothing like anyone he's ever met, and Elias is starting to realize that not every wall is meant to be broken down. Aiden Jeong is reserved and razor-sharp, his quiet intensity hiding a vulnerability he's worked hard to protect. With his calculated demeanor and a quiet refusal to be drawn into Elias's orbit, Aiden is a puzzle that Elias can't help but want to solve. "You don't scare me," Elias says, leaning closer, his grin teasing. Aiden's gaze doesn't waver. "Good. Then you'll hear me when I say I don't have time for games." As their lives become entangled, what begins as mutual disdain slowly gives way to an undeniable connection. Navigating the blurred lines of rivalry and attraction, Elias and Aiden find themselves caught in a world that doesn't always welcome their truth. "You keep pushing me away," Elias says, voice softening. "But what if I don't stop?" Aiden hesitates, his expression unreadable. "Then don't blame me when you fall." In a world full of expectations, crossing the line can feel like freedom-or risk losing everything.
