*SPOTIFY PLAYLIST FOR THIS STORY: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2gm2TVJ4xguaJ3pZmBBNCn *SPINOFF OF THE SUMMER I TURNED PRETTY, EXPECT BASED ON CONRADS LIFE IN CALIFORNIA* Jeremiah and Belly ended up together. That summer was over, and so was Conrad Fisher's quiet heartbreak. By the time he returned to Stanford for medical school, Conrad had finally begun to let Belly go. The ache dulled, replaced with the fierce focus of becoming a doctor. He thought he knew what he wanted-control, certainty, and maybe, if he was lucky, peace. Enter Ophelia Sinclair. Ophelia was brilliant, competitive, and utterly impossible. The kind of girl who corrected professors under her breath, the kind of girl who lived and breathed ambition. The kind of girl who got under Conrad's skin the moment she looked at him and smirked. They clashed from day one. Every lecture, every lab, every case study-Conrad and Ophelia butted heads like it was sport. And when word spread about a single, highly-coveted internship at the hospital, their rivalry sharpened into something electric. Both of them wanted it. Neither of them was willing to back down. But the line between rivalry and something more has a way of blurring. Between late-night study sessions, stolen glances in the anatomy lab, and the walls they both swore they'd never let down... Conrad and Ophelia's story becomes more than just about medicine. It becomes about love. The dangerous, consuming kind you don't plan for-the kind Conrad never thought he'd find again. Enemies. Rivals. Lovers.

Half a Mark!
Sometimes, the closest rival is the one who sees you the most. At Seattle College of Business and Economics, Sera Westbrook has only ever known life through the lens of pressure. The pressure to succeed. The pressure to prove herself. The pressure to make up for the sister she lost and the father who reminds her daily that she was never what he wanted. Across the aisle - both in class and in life - sits Gray Bennett. Brilliant, confident, effortlessly admired, and her closest competitor in everything that counts. Their silent rivalry has spanned years, measured not just in grades and rankings, but in sarcasm, unspoken glances, and the war between who cares more and who dares less. But beneath Sera's flawless academic record lies a girl quietly unraveling. And behind Gray's easy charm is someone who's seen her - really seen her - from the very beginning. As graduation nears, one announcement changes everything. Applause echoes. Expectations crack. And in a moment of public silence, someone finally speaks up for the girl who was never allowed to speak for herself. Then they part ways. No confessions. No promises. Just the memory of what almost was - and the weight of all that wasn't said. Years later, fate brings them back together in a world far beyond the classroom, where success is louder, reputations sharper, and feelings... harder to ignore. But some distances can't be measured by numbers. And sometimes, the deepest connection begins with the smallest difference. "Half a Mark" is a deeply emotional, slow-burning story of quiet strength, unspoken love, and the lifelong impact of being almost enough - until someone shows you you've always been more than that.Complete
