Ever tried losing all your confidence in a single heartbeat? That was what happened to Alex when she joined the interhouse volleyball game at her school and she found herself lacking the skills of serving the ball across, making her feel very bad. School classifications also forced her to spend more and more time with her popular friends and stopping her from being her nerdy self with whom she was more comfortable with.
And then she started having a new feeling called jealousy when she found her ex-friend William dating Sofia, a stuck up stalker of hers. Will she drop everything, from being at the top of the school pyramid, to find herself, or will she let herself fall in the sea of reputation?

The Rival Hypothesis
Aria Foster has always stood out-not just for her sharp wit and unapologetic confidence, but for dreaming bigger than anyone around her. For her, science is more than grades; it's a way to change the world. But college isn't just experiments and lectures. It's relentless rivalry, especially with Ryan Clark-the brilliant, precise, awkward genius set on joining NASA. They've spent years battling over test scores, research grants, and the spotlight. No one pushes Aria's buttons quite like Ryan, and he's never let anyone challenge his logic-until now. She's daring and unpredictable; he's orderly and disciplined. Both stand on the edge of their dreams, unwilling to lose to the other. One challenge. Two enemies. And a dangerous hypothesis that could blur the line between rivalry and desire-an experiment neither of them is prepared to survive. ✧✧✧ "You love testing me, don't you?" he mutters, grip tightening around her waist. "Maybe I just like watching you lose control," she teases, her lips inches from his. His breath hitches, but his tone stays dangerous. "Careful. You won't like what happens when I finally snap." She leans in, whispering against his mouth. "Try it. I dare you."
Finally Free

My body needing him. Sophia Carrington. She just moved from New York to California in search of a new life. When her life took a dark turn she's forced to leave everything behind.

Misunderstandings and a dash of alcohol set a flame between them. Sophia hates the snarky remarks and stupid nicknames that leave his mouth. Carter thinks Sophia is just another trust fund brat.
