The Stanford Diagnosis: Love by HsFay327

*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.

Just One Beat by alenajxz

Elora Aguirre has always been determined to chase success whether in her studies or anything else she sets her mind to. Her goal has always been clear that is to be the number one. But everything changed when Arcus Verano entered the picture. A laid-back, effortless genius who seemed like he'd never pulled an all-nighter or stressed over a lecture, while Elora pushed herself to the limit just to keep up. Since the day they met, her only goal has been to beat him, to take that number one spot away. She hated how he acted so uninterested in class yet he would still ace all the exams like they were nothing, while she struggled to stay second place despite her hard work. Desperate to get ahead, Elora blackmailed Arcus into tutoring her. But as they spent more time together, she didn't realize that her obsession with beating him was slowly blurring the lines between frustration and attraction. "With just one beat, the rivalry, and the lines we drew between us faded... and everything finally made sense." +++++++ This is a one-shot story written by Alenajxz. Enjoy reading!

Red Rivals by yvanillaa_

Ruby Jane Vera never planned to start over. Sharp tongue, smart mind and competitive heart. After a scandal in Spain forced her to move to California, Ruby was determined to prove herself again-this time in a new school filled with rivals, rumors, and expectations. But nothing prepared her for Aiden Jace Morales. The academy's golden boy who became her fiercest competitor...and the one person who challenged her heart as much as her mind. Between late-night parties, jealous enemies, and dangerous secrets, Ruby found herself fighting harder than ever-not just to protect her name, but to discover who she truly was. Through every rivalry, heartbreak, and triumph, she rose from scandal to strength, proving she was more than her past and stronger than anyone imagined. Because sometimes, the enemy you fight the hardest becomes the love you can't live without. Started: 05.30.25 Ended: 07.15.25

the moon will always be better than the sun by loveforlanadelrey

enemies. "Did I not warn you about staying away from me today?" he says as he looks at my eyes. Deeply. My brain stops for a second. His hand is closed around my neck, his face is dangerously close to mine. And I'm breathing heavily. He sees whatever's wrong with me, and stays still for a second, a small smirk forming in his lips. Then, his eyes find my lips. What the hell is happening? My heartbeat fastens as I hold my breath. And his eyes find mine, again. He slowly leans in. His mouth traces my jawline and face. It doesn't touch me, but he's too close I feel his breath. I don't even realize that his hand has released my throat, and I could freely go if I wanted to. But I'm feeling way too many things at the same time. Why aren't you running, Jess? I then feel his lips on my jawline for a second; and I find my hands tugging into his hair, as I breathe a bit too heavily. He then lifts up his face, lips next to my ear. "So. Fucking. Easy." he mutters. © All the characters and the story is owned by me! Thank you.

Ever so slowly, I lowered my mouth to the lime. As I did so, I felt the brush of her lips on mine. Just a touch. Just a breath, and it ignited fire in my veins. And at that moment, I forgot a lot. My heart stopped, my breathing quit, my thoughts ceased. But I knew one thing, and it was screaming in the hollows of my brain. 𝘐 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦. 𝘐 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘩𝘦𝘳.

Half a Mark! by Shweta545

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.

An Unexpected Moment by caromerri

... that changes everything Sarah was starting her junior year of high school. Looking at herself in the mirror, she saw a pretty average blonde haired, blue eyed, teenager. She was neither in the popular group, nor one of the many cliched outsiders. Sarah was a nobody. She liked to blend in and lay low. It was her way out of not only this town, but her house. No one knew it, but her father was a high functioning alcoholic that often took his anger out on his family. With her older sister now in college, it had turned to her more often. Laying low in general was a good strategy. Across town, Ryan was prepping for his final year in high school. While he wasn't the stereotypical quarterback of the football team, he did fit into the popular crowd. His sports of choice included basketball and soccer, either of which might line him up for a scholarship next year. Ryan had a group of close friends and a lot of adoring acquaintances. It wasn't easy juggling his athletics and keeping the grades up, but he was just that good. The supporting parents didn't hurt either. It might be a cliché romance, but it will be fun to see what the year and beyond holds. ------------------------------------------ This is a story I wrote years ago, or at least partially wrote. As I transcribe it here, I have tried to update it a bit and give the characters/story more depth than what I had when I was younger. Hopefully it all gets pulled together!

Academic Rivals by stolennicolee

She grew up in a world where being smart wasn't a choice, it was expected. Her family had big dreams for her, the kind that didn't leave room for mistakes. So she smiled, studied hard, and stayed on top. But deep down, she wanted something different. Something more her. And just when she thought she had it all under control, he showed up. He was brilliant, cocky, and impossible to ignore. Now it's a game of wins and losses. And she's not planning to lose.

Until Forever Comes by Amorina_007

They have been rivals for the whole 3 years of their college, always competing for the top . But as a person they never hate each other , they used to respect each other's hard work and talent. They used to bicker sometimes, sometimes even pulling each other's leg , giving remarks to tease each other, but at last , as a person they never hate one another. They were not friends but not totally strangers , they used to share a normal bond of classmates, sometimes helping each other , if needed. But a turn of events led things to the worst possible condition, where she started hating him to the core , not even wanting to see his face. Is this the end ? or there is much more to know, about which she is totally unaware of. UNTILL FOREVER COMES ♾️

RIVAL IN YOUR EYES (GXG) [Completed] by malakaiteee

Nova was used to being the golden girl - top grades, perfect smile, the kind of student teachers adored and classmates envied. She was an overachiever, no - she was more than that. A transcender. Until River came. Calm, calculated, and impossibly disciplined - she stole Nova's spotlight and savoured every second of it. Years later, at St. Clair College, Nova swore she'd move on. New start, new dreams... no more River. But fate is inevitable, and it seems that River and Nova will have a hard time accepting it. New school year, same old academic rival.
