The Other Side of Ordinary
In The Other Side of Ordinary, 18-year-old Elias Garcia has always felt like he lives under the weight of his own reflection. Born with a facial birth defect, he's been accustomed to the stares, whispers, and the feeling of not quite fitting in. Growing up in a small town, Eli was never able to shake the constant sense of being "different," and he doubts anyone could ever see beyond his appearance to the person he really is. Now, starting university, Eli is ready to keep his head down, focus on his studies, and avoid the social pitfalls that plagued him in high school. But when he meets Amara, a spirited and kind-hearted art student, he's caught off guard by her warmth and curiosity. Amara doesn't seem fazed by his appearance; in fact, she seems drawn to his sharp wit and gentle soul. For the first time, Eli begins to question whether he's truly unworthy of love and acceptance. As their friendship grows into something more, Eli is forced to confront his deepest insecurities and the walls he's built to keep people out. Through laughter, shared struggles, and small acts of courage, Eli learns that love isn't about being flawless- it's about being seen. And maybe, just maybe, he might be brave enough to let someone see him for who he really is.
A NIGHT LIKE THIS
A NIGHT LIKE THIS By Kyra Smith Amara Hill and Elias Carter were never supposed to be more than friends of friends. She was the passionate fine arts major with a soft heart and bold vision; he was the quiet, brilliant engineering student who kept his feelings buried beneath equations and loyalty. Their college connection was built around late nights in shared circles-complicated by the fact that Amara was dating Elias's best friend, Tyrel. A relationship that left scars she never spoke of... and Elias never understood. Years later, Amara is thriving in Los Angeles as a digital designer for a top creative agency, and Elias is rising through the ranks of a leading engineering firm in their college town. Their paths seemed permanently split-until fate, and a work conference, bring Elias to LA. What starts as a routine business trip turns unexpected when Elias stumbles upon The BLOCC, a vibrant downtown festival showcasing black artist of all kinds... and finds Amara showcasing her work under glowing string lights and city beats. One magical night. One undeniable spark. One chance to finally say the things left unsaid. But as laughter and chemistry blur the past and present, the question remains: can a love born in silence survive the noise of the real world? Because some love stories don't begin with a kiss... they begin with a night like this.
