College freshmen Athena Adams can't wait to get a fresh start; to step out of the shadows of her up-and-coming football star of a brother and to flee those catty girls from her high school. She doesn't want to be invisible or off-limits any longer, and what place better to take advantage of her freedom than a college where no one knows her...

After having some... issues at his old school, Romeo transfers to UCLK for his second year of college. His plan is simple, stay in his lane and get through school as fast as possible so he can get back home to his little sister. He takes his job seriously as an older brother and the only provider of emotional support for Leya; he calls her every evening to check in, helps her with homework, and reassures her their mother will be fine... But she's getting older and as she gains more freedom and has less time for brother-dearest, he finds himself with more free time... Might as well give one of those famous college parties a try, then, right? 
What could possibly happen...

A game of 7 minutes of heaven, that's what...


(Teaser)
"Can you move your arm, please? It's digging into my hips," she complains, trying to keep the irritation from her voice. The closet was too small for two people. 
He starts laughing. 
"What's so funny?" she prods, only to feel him shift a second later, his hands shaking at the sides of her face as he wiggles them in the dark space. 
"My arm is nowhere near your hip," he chokes out. Heat crawls up her neck. 
Oh...

A/N
This is a story I'll keep working on whenever I have the time, but I don't have it fully planned like I usually do with my books, so I'm open to your suggestions as we go;) It also means I won't have a posting schedule... On the bright side, there's no need to worry that I'll take the story down to publish it; I'm working on a different book for my Job as an author, so all my currently completed Wattpad stories are safe to read! This is just for fun an giggles and your entertainment!

It Started With A Concussion ✔️ by everlandwrites
56 parts Complete Mature
Emery Ashford had a smart mouth. She was known for it. As an outgoing teenager Emery was always hanging out with friends and with a lack of filter she always said what was on her mind. Especially if it had to do with that irritative jock. She hated him with every fiber in her body. She hated his charming nature, his arrogance, his lack of care, and the way he got on her nerves. But the thing she hated most, although she'd never admit it, is that she would stick up for him. Not like he ever needed it. She wanted nothing more than to get away from him. But it's completely impossible. He lived right across the street. Everything about senior year had been going smoothly until, Bang. Jackson Riley had a pretty mouth. Pretty face too. As the school's football captain he's always been the talk. For years he's been entertained by the smartass that is Emery Ashford. She was a pain in his ass, but he knew he'd be bored without her. When he ends up giving Emery another concussion, he's determined to make the last two months of her senior year hell. That's if he hasn't been doing that already. There's only one thing in his way. Concussion or not Emery isn't going down without a fight. It seems the more she doesn't want him around, the more he happens to be. She thinks her life is spiraling into the ground...but maybe she has it all wrong. With an offer she can't refuse and a heat of the moment bet, it's time for the both of them to realize that there's a thin line between love and hate. And with an injury like this, that line is surely to blur. #1 in annoying [12/30/22] #1 in brothersbestfriend [1/6/23] #1 in hate [1/15/23] #1 in teens [1/28/23] #1 in tension [3/18/23] #1 in summer [5/8/23] #1 in player [5/13/23] Started [Oct 2022] Finished [May 2023]

❝There is nothing to be sorry about, Dylans. It's not your fault. You didn't do anything.❞ I crave academic validation. But so does he... It is clear Dakota Reid and Nyla Dylans were close. Outside of school grounds, they were what most would call close friends. Always fooling around and putting up with each other's remarks. All until Nyla moved away from Presley in the sixth grade. She finally got out of Dakota's hair and he could breath a sigh of relief. He didn't realize how fast almost seven years can truly go by until Nyla moves back to the city she was born and raised in. Dakota was always number one... but not for long. Nyla wants Valedictorian just as much as Dakota does. Now the two are tied. Test time is coming up? Good, now who will get the higher grade? Partner projects? No worries, they will never choose each other. They know working together is impossible. There are no words to describe them other than academic rivals. Being next-door neighbors only made their competition stronger. Will Dakota be able to follow in his father's footsteps fast enough or will Nyla beat him to the number one spot? The end of the first semester is approaching faster than one could speak. Which star student will be labeled Valedictorian? Only the two-digit number most would call GPA will let them find out. Oh rivalry. This should be fun. ✰dual point of view ✰can be read as a stand-alone #1 in rivals 11/12/2021
