She is the girl who opposes them, and the girl who might just lose everything.

Beaumont Academy, a prestigious school housing only the most talented and richest students. Among those students was a carefully curated game, that could be rewarding or consequential based on your actions. Those who comply are allowed to stay, and those who break the rules, well, they don't stick around for too long.

𝐀𝐋𝐀𝐈𝐍𝐀 𝐌𝐎𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐒 is the new girl. Her life is simple, the perfect future within reach. All she has to do is get the grades and graduate.

However, when she chooses to defend a friend and retaliates against some bullies, she makes herself public enemy number one.

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐕𝟒 is an infamous group of bullies. Idolized by the school and at the top of the social hierarchy. They don't care much for school or grades.

Instead, they pride themselves on maintaining a game fueled by malicious intent, and they do not take the interference of others lightly.

Becoming the target of bullying, Alaina's strength is put to the test, but she intends to prove she can stand 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐨𝐝𝐝𝐬. Amidst the adversity─with kindness, understanding, and a little time─what starts as a petty rivalry blossoms into an unexpected friendship. However, a friendship with the V4 is all sorts of complicated─especially with their wealth, status, and history. But complicated never scared Alaina.

It was gentle and soft, something I never expected from a guy like him. He moved his right hand from my cheek to my waist, tugging me against him, and molded our bodies together. A wave of electricity went down to my core when he licked my lips. "Open your mouth, Bella." His commanding husky voice against my lips jolted my heart, and I followed his order like a slave. With no control, a moan erupted from my throat as his tongue met mine. It was barely audible, but I knew he heard it when he smiled against my lips. He swept my hair from my face to my back and gathered them in his fist. He tugged my head back, deepening the kiss, and my heart thrashed in my chest. At that moment, I didn't need drugs to know what being high felt like because his lips were enough to send me on nine clouds. Just once and I was addicted to it. If this is how being kissed feels like, then fuck, I've wasted a lot of time. ~^~^~^~ FEATURED ON: @Romance (Romantic Suspense) HIGHEST RANKINGS: #1 Goodgirl, Darkpast #2 Badboy #5 Newadult

An internal voice whispered, "Call him." But I chose not to. I dismissed it once more, saying, "He never liked me anyway." Yet the dilemma lingered. "But maybe he does. The way he looks at you... it's different." Out of nowhere, he glanced my way. My heartbeat quickened, sending shivers down my spine. I averted my gaze, pretending to look around. "Has he noticed me? No, wait-oh my god." --- After switching high schools, Nina discovered a new way of life. She fell in love, made wonderful friends, and everything seemed perfect. But Ethan-a popular boy who never focused on anyone but her-was the object of her hatred. He was always there, always keeping her safe. He used to annoy her endlessly. She hated him deeply. Until she didn't. For a while, she was content with her high school experience. That is, until something mysterious turned her world upside down. Forced to move to a new city, Nina had to cut ties with everyone she once knew. Eight years later, fate brings her face-to-face with him again. "Ethan..." He's the key to everything-the truths she never knew. When she was lost in the dark, he always held the light. But now, things are different. She despises him. He's colder than ever. Or perhaps she fears him. Fears that he'll leave her again. Will their lives ever return to normal after everything they've endured? "Maybe?" "Maybe yes.

But what they don't know is: a traumatic and painful past has landed him with the issue of Sociopathy(ASPD) which means he's unable to feel emotions like love or attachment. On the flipside, he's heartless, apathetic, and cunning; severely manipulative and deceiving. He's obsessed with acquiring anything he lays his eyes on and won't stop until he gets it. When he sees shy and tiny first-year, Harmony Skye, the 'demons' inside him instantly becomes attracted to her angelic aura. But for Blaze Xander 'attracted' is never anything good. Harmony Skye is a shy freshman. She has never had an intimate relationship before, and due to being sheltered all her life, interaction with the opposite sex makes her a bit anxious. When she meets Blaze, his outgoing and adventurous personality intrigues her. Harmony is unaware that this handsome second-year is out to get her, for impure reasons that she's too innocent to decode. And what she also doesn't know is that getting close to this empty creature could hurt her in the most emotionally detrimental way. |Sociopathy-Sociopathy refers to a pattern of antisocial behaviors and attitudes, including manipulation, deceit, aggression, and a lack of empathy for others.
