How unlikely was it? That her and now introduced neighbour would have developed a friendship due to the dinners her grandfather had arranged for both families. But that's not their introduction.
Sophie Adams, who came home from work one day to find a pair of strangers to knock on her apartment door, never thought that they would hold a place in her life. The headache of forming new friendships was weighing on her, and so was his smug grin and innocent demeanour. His only saving grace beyond his green eyes is that her cat seemed to adore him.
Samuel "Sam" Williams only cared to see his neighbour smile his way. He was entirely captivated by that challenge, and the surprise of their shared connections amplified it more.

"Not really," he muttered. "Are you sure?" and he nodded. "It looks a bit swollen. It might've come from when you hit the ground or, something... I don't even know. It's just a small bruise, though, so I guess it's okay?" "Thanks, Doctor," he teased, and she pouted, the warmth of her skin leaving as she settled back into her seat. "How is it my fault you like to fight?" She crossed her arms in front of her chest, and he fully leaned in. His hand was no longer on the edge of the back cushions; rather, it had moved to her thigh. "How is it my fault you look good tonight?" he whispered in her ear.

The Weight of Almost
What would you do if your worst enemy broke your only rule? And what would you do if your frienemy won't speak to you because of it? ~ Nathaniel "Nate" Quinn and Samuel "Sam" Watson are the pinnacle of Brookfell Academy excellence. For the past five years, they've been locked in battle of teasing and one upmanship to the joy and entertainment of the student body. They have one rule - they don't mess with friends and family. This is between them and them alone. So when Nate breaks their rule by accident on Brookfell's 'Family Night', everything falls apart. Sam shuts him out with quiet vigor, their rivalry dead to him. Nate, desperate for their back-and-forth to return, proposes something drastic: to make things right, Nate will be at Sam's whim for a month, doing anything and everything he says within reason. Sam begrudgingly accepts, with serious consequences if Nate fails. And as their arrangement plays out, and Brookfell Academy gets let out for winter break, the line between 'rival' and whatever they could've been starts to blur. As high heels, snowstorms, and music pass between them, it becomes apparent that their feelings have been ignored or left unchecked, and things start bubbling to the surface. ~ All rights reserved.

Better Said
No doubt, eyes never fail to deliver the messages of the heart, but sometimes opening up gradually on every wonderful occasion can be more vivid. Bright and I always had something between us that I never talked about until I went to university this semester. This time, the unspoken between us was no longer unspoken. It was all 'said' gradually. Thanks to my friends who pushed me out of my comfort zone and, of course, Bright played a vital role. Amidst silence, I asked him to speak, and from that moment, he never stopped. He didn't stop until I said, 'Yeah, me too!'Complete
