To these three characters life is not panning out to be what they hoped it to be. 

Take Jade for instance, her parents are on the verge of a divorce; she is anxiety filled over upcoming important decisions, all while juggling an amazing relationship with her girlfriend Monty!!! 

Speaking of, Monty herself is struggling with her dad's recent death, three jobs, slacking grades, her life in the local gang of Nielmed called the Skux, all while trying to muster up the courage to tell Jade how she really feels about their relationship and taking the next step since she has been offered a basketball scholarship to play in college!!!

On the other side of town....

Giovanni is a no label girl tired of getting hurt, she struggles with anxiety, letting people in, and can't help being an over thinker. However, she is loved by everyone and the most popular at Fina High school!! 

Rome is an ex convict, with a choice to join the Finix Gang of Nielmed County or refuse for the girl of his dreams, risk her getting hurt, and himself being deemed the laughingstock of High school this senior year.  On the other hand he is part of the richest family in Nielmed!!! 

They all have decisions to make and steps to take that will make or break their lives. But then again that's just the way things are.

How bad could it be to enlist your female best friend into helping you lie to your Christian family about your new relationship with your male best friend and about your newfound sexuality? Not that bad, right? Right??? --------- Nova Queen and Arizona "Ari" Matthews weren't always close in high school, but after an intense and serious conversation in the library one day, the two become the best of friends until they go their separate ways their freshman year of college. Now in their mid 20s and freshly out of grad school, they are reunited in the park of their hometown where Ari asks a huge favor of Nova that she later wishes she had refused. But in the end, will she really wish she had refused? *FA spans a timeline from 2010-2020 to help the reader see how the relationships were built between characters in a partial series of flashbacks. It also helps the reader to really see into the minds of Arizona and Nova as they age, and the effect different life events have on them. It's a bit of a slower build and the plot is mostly seen a little later in the book, but I promise it's worth it. 🙂 *I do not own any of the rights to the music nor the pictures. *Rated M for language, sexual content, destructive behaviors, suicide, and dialogue that may be triggering for some readers. *These characters may do or say things that you don't agree or may get upset with, please remember YOU ARE NOT THESE PEOPLE, and their lives are a work of fiction and my imagination.

Cold and Charisma (BoyxBoy) by asphericity
27 parts Ongoing Mature
Riley Lachkov's life has only ever consisted of one thing - soccer. Raised in a family where emotions don't exist, Riley has put on a cold-front for as long as he could remember. Many people think that they know him - a cocky, arrogant, rude jerk who couldn't give less of a shit about what others think, but deep down, there's a part of him that no one has ever seen. A part of him that he never wants anyone to see. Archer Wilson has got everything going for him. From being at the top of all of his classes, to also being the most popular boy in school, his life is perfect. Everyone who knows Archer can confirm that he is anything but mean - with his charismatic personality, and his ability to make anyone swoon for him, he's the golden boy at Saint Arthur's Preparatory School. When Riley's family immigrated from Russia to the States, he struggles to fit in, finding it difficult to start his entire life over when the only thing he's ever known was his life back in his home country. His closed off personality and his tendency to act like a total douchebag didn't help either - in fact, it just made people want to stay away from him even more. But that doesn't stop Archer from trying. In fact, it makes him more intrigued in this new, feisty transfer student, more keen to break down all the walls that Riley has worked so hard to keep up for his entire life. Archer can't help but praise him for every little thing he does- in his eyes, Riley was an angel. He knew he was whipped the moment he saw him. What happens when Archer, the top student at Saint Arthur's, suddenly begins to develop an interest in the new transfer student, whose personality is as cold as ice? Will Riley finally begin to let him in, or will he continue to push him out, like he's done throughout his entire life? #1 in #gayfiction (12.2.2025) tropes: #grumpyxsunshine, #polaropposites, #slowburn, #temporaryunrequitedlove #popularnerdxlonelyathlete All Rights Reserved to Asphericity

[Converted from its original glee fanfiction series] #1 in LGBT+ on Kindle Vella in July 2024. #19 Top Fav on Kindle Vella in July 2024. Fitting into a new town is hard as a teenager. Fitting in as a bisexual teenager, when your father is a covert government agent, your loveable rescue dog is unstable, and you want to be the only girl on the football team? Hard doesn't begin to describe it. When Quinntessa Dawson moves to Coven, Indiana with her father, she wants to survive the year, help Scrabble stay out of trouble, and kickstart her professional sports career by joining the Styxton High football team. What she gets is trouble. And trouble comes in the form of a spunky, pink-haired biker with a troubled past. Quinntessa's distracting attraction to Quincy, her father's erratic behavior, and the pushback from the school at her attempts to join the football team, all complicate life further. Senior year in Coven may just dredge up long-buried secrets that could shake the entire town. Secrets that very well might turn Quinntessa's life upside-down. "There is never a right choice. I'm seventeen. I'm in between every major event of my life. You can't just . . . You have to love me here in the present and stop thinking about if you can love me enough to trust I can get somewhere unknown." Hearts and Stars is the first book in The Coven Chronicles, a new adult series.
