A College Distraction (A College Tale #1) by fridajak

*COMPLETED* Ella: College is overwhelming for everyone. Add being a freshman here on a scholarship from Sweden, trying to make a new life for myself, I have no time for any distractions. I need to be on my A game at all times, even when 'mr QB one', or Adonis himself, enters my life. Nothing more can grow between us than friendship. I have to make sure of that. Mac: I have always been a believer at love at first sight and when I see her I know she is it. She insists we can only be friends but I plan to show her how good we are for each other, and as the sizzling attraction between us only grows stronger, it is harder and harder to stay away and I know she can feel it too. Love is never easy and sometimes we do stupid things in the name of love. One devastating decision leaves them both despair and the question is if they are going to make it out of this stronger than ever, or forever at loss. (Can be read as a standalone)

Sweet nothing by jane1d_

After her parents divorced at a young age she promised herself to carefully pick her partner. But what if she unintentionally met the most egoistic and cocky guy at the University of Denver? Can Sebastian Ackley change anything? Is he the one who will show her how it feels to be loved? Or he will show her that hate is stronger than love?

The Guy in My Spanish class by theenbywriter

This time, I can't help but flinch as he touches me and pulls the other strap down .. bearing my other shoulder to his eyes. "Anthony .. you can't say those things. We .. we're supposed to be best friends." As I try to reason with him, he begins to kiss my shoulder .. making the words come out so much more weaker than intended. Anthony stays quiet after what I say, or rather he ignores me, instead using his other hand to play with the skin on my stomach exposed from the top. "I know .." He trails off. I hold my breath, anxious as I wait to hear what he's going to say next. "But I don't know if that's enough for me anymore .." Anthony moves my hair to side, and the words he speaks are paired with a slow kiss to the nape of my neck. Beatrix thought she'd never trust another guy again. After having her heart broken and being bullied out of her high school, when an opportunity to leave takes the form of a scholarship to a private university, she packs up and accepts happily. Everything was supposed to start over that year, all she had to do was lay low and maintain a focus on her studies to graduate. Until she meets a guy in her Spanish class. Beatrix's world is turned upside down as she explores new friendships and begins to open back up to the world. She begins to navigate her new life on campus, filled with arduous exams, study sessions, hard decisions and of course .. a little drama and excitement to make things entertaining. This is a slow burn!!!

Birds of a feather- Paige Bueckers by dakotaxpaige

In the fast-paced world of college athletics and media, two women are about to discover that the line between friendship and love is blurrier than they ever imagined. Paige is a driven basketball player with a dream of making it to the pros. Every shot she takes, every game she plays, is a step closer to turning her passion into reality. However, the pressure of balancing college life, a rigorous sport, and her ambitions leaves little room for anything else until Dakota enters her life. Dakota, a sports media major, is determined to carve out her path in the world of sports journalism. With a sharp eye for storytelling and a drive to succeed, she's determined to make a name for herself. Her connection to Paige starts as nothing more than a friendship, forged in the shared space of their dorm room and mutual respect's dreams. But as they spend more time together, an undeniable tension builds, and neither of them can ignore it. As Paige chases her basketball dreams and Dakota hustles to establish herself in a competitive field, their paths grow increasingly intertwined. What begins as a spark of friendship slowly kindles into something deeper. Amid late-night study sessions, on-court victories, and the pressures of college life, they begin to navigate the complex terrain of love, ambition, and self-discovery. But as their feelings for each other intensify, they must learn to balance their evolving relationship with their dreams. Can their love survive the challenges of college life, or will their ambitions pull them in separate directions? After each short chapter, a song that correlates with what happened will be at the end to listen to, this offers a deeper understanding of how the story can be perceived. Each chapter, as well as the story title, relates to a song. Both short stories and songs are an art form and are so intertwined that is why we decided to create the story this way. This is a short story, so it is a very quick read.

Crushed Hearts by kae-ruby

When shy former track runner Emery strikes a deal with charismatic athlete Beckett, they each have a goal: to help the other impress their crush. But as courtship slowly turns to jealousy, the two are left to confront their feelings as they fight to win each other's hearts instead. Season 1 of Crushed Hearts *** All that Emery Theiss wants is to become an English professor, knowing his ADHD medication means his days of running sprints are over. But when the track team star, Beckett Delroy, unceremoniously hits him with a football, Emery's bad luck changes gears. Beckett needs Emery's advice to help his crush warm up to him, and Emery could use Beckett's confidence to win over his best friend and secure his future. But while coming to an agreement is easy, Beckett is the track rival who broke Emery's coveted record, and he can't stop himself from flirting, even with Emery. The charmingly annoying teasing, however, reveals Beckett has a softer side. The more time he spends with Beckett, the less important impressing his crush becomes. Faced with the possibility of losing his chance at his future, will Emery chase love or settle for certainty to ensure his heart isn't crushed? *** Weekly updates on Fridays.
