After three years abroad, Iris Dé Vu Rose returns to her American high school for senior year, only to find herself unexpectedly elected Vice President. Her easygoing nature immediately clashes with the school's meticulously perfect, newly-elected President, Evergreen Summers, who seems to harbor an instant, inexplicable dislike for Iris. Evergreen, haunted by the shadow of her sister's legacy, is desperate to navigate her final year without feeling inadequate. She recognizes something in Iris - a vibrant, chaotic energy - that echoes a past she's trying to forget, making Iris someone she desperately tries to avoid. Yet, fate seems intent on forcing these two polar opposites together.

[@TheAmbys 2025 Favorites (Top Pick)] Bullied and bruised, Adam has survived high school by keeping his head down. Those bothered by his quiet, eccentric nature? They are the 'pretty' ones. The ones with comfortable backgrounds. The ones at the top. When an attractive transfer becomes his seat neighbour for the rest of the semester, Adam is naturally wary - partly because of her brawny sibling in senior year, and partly because she checks every box on his list of people to avoid: pretty, rich, and popular. With an angelic smile, twinkling sapphire eyes and ribbons in her golden hair, her persona screams perfection. A level he won't be able to achieve even in his quirkiest of daydreams - not like he'd ever want to. After all, despite her odd choice of friends, her playful teasing, and her persistent efforts to win his trust, isn't she just another heartless bully? ••• Featured on: @humor - DiverseLit Humor (Sept 2025) @Ambassadors - Slice Of Life (Sept 2025) @humor - Ambassadors' Monthly Pick (Oct 2025) @humor - Ambassadors' Pick List (May 2026)Complete
Accidentally in Stares
Iris Dawson is smart, witty, and too damn self-aware for her own good. Between juggling chemistry assignments and trying to keep her heart from jumping out of her chest every time her gaze lands on Andre, her charming classmate, things are about to get complicated. Andre's got the whole "nice guy" thing down, but there's a spark in his eyes every time he looks at Iris that has her second-guessing everything she knows about herself. When a simple accidental touch in class sets off a chain of events, Iris can't decide if Andre is flirting or just being friendly. But as their friendship blossoms, the lines between casual glances and something more blur. Can Iris trust her feelings, or is she just overthinking things-again? This is a story about trying to stay cool when everything in you wants to scream, laugh, or just run away from the crush that's slowly taking over her life. It's science. It's chemistry. And most of all, it's about the explosive, beautiful mess that is falling for someone.CompleteINTRO
