'Bethany was... irrelevant. Elise was relevant'
Elise's new school comes with a new crush, an extremely hot boy in her opinion.
However his cold reputation is only proven to be true as he realizes Liam's world only ran with logic and efficiency. On top of that her fre-nemy Bethany's stalker-like obsession complicated her feelings for her. But the more she steps back, the more it seemed that he would corner her.
Little did she know Liam's thoughts lingered towards her as his obsession grew like no other.
But for some reason, there is always a gap between them. How can they yearn for each other without hurting a friend?

Behind Those Eyes (boyxboy)
I sat behind him on his motorcycle. At that moment, all I wanted was to hold him in my arms and absorb every bit of his pain. He acted as if nothing had happened and drove in silence. I slowly started moving my hands towards his body, and suddenly, my control snapped and the pent-up feelings burst free. I gripped his back, my face burried into his shoulder as the sobs tore loose from my chest. He froze for a second, then gently tapped on my fingers wrapped around his waist, and went back to driving without saying a word. Author's note: Hey! This is the first part of a three-part series. This is going to be a slowburn love story, so buckle up. AND DISCLAIMER REMEMBER THERE IS OTHER PARTS TO THIS 🫣 ... Thank you for reading 🌸🥺 ~ I don't own the pictures used in this story ~emi

A Hidden Picture
Annalise sees the world as though she is looking at it from afar. As if it's just a meaningless painting in a museum that she is observing. Admiring the beautiful strokes and the imperfections that somehow manage to make it even more intriguing. The last thing she would ever expect is someone reaching out from the painting and pulling her inside. The colors feeling as though she can practically taste them on her tongue. Suddenly being indulged by something she once saw as so two dimensional. Something that she once thought had no soul, no form of beauty beneath the surface. Only being able to see a pretty frame and gorgeous yet seemingly meaningless brush strokes. A life hidden in plain sight.

Moonlight Kisses
"Why are you doing that!" she whisper-screams while her eyes flit to the other guys, who are now immersed in something else that isn't us. I kiss that spot again, making her whole body shiver. It's oddly entertaining to watch what my slightest movements do to her. Usually it takes a lot more for a girl to unravel this way, but her breath hitches each time I go to kiss her neck. I could only imagine what my hands could do to her body. "You still didn't answer my question," she huffs harshly. And still she hasn't pulled away from me. Had I been any stupider, I'd say Jordyn was actually enjoying herself. If she hates this so badly, why hasn't she asked me to stop? [] In August, Jordyn Reeve starts attending Crestview Prep and not long after strikes a deal with Beau Clemonte, an arrogant, rude boy who happens to be the thing that can give her what she wants: his best friend, Jake Amherst. Of course, everything worthwhile must come with a price. Despite her outright opinions, Jordyn makes a deal with the devil. Or at least that's what that's what she saw at first -- a coldhearted, stubborn asshole that cared even less than she did. Her only intention was to see this out to get the guy. However, it wasn't that simple for Beau. Cover created by: @meha-k Started October 2020 Completed January 2022Complete

With the help of unexpected friendships, late-night heart-to-hearts, and a boy who sees right through her walls, Lilah learns that maybe healing isn't about forgetting-it's about finding someone who stays.

You Talk Too Much
Nicolas didn't want friends. Didn't want attention. Definitely didn't want her. But then Lina sat next to him. Every. Single. Day. She talked through the awkward silences, laughed at her own jokes, and asked questions he never answered. She was chaos in sneakers and bubblegum lip gloss - and he wanted nothing to do with her. ...Until he did. Because somehow, her noise started drowning out the thoughts he didn't know how to escape. And her voice became the only thing that made the silence bearable. This isn't a love story. Not at first. This is a story about a boy who lost his spark... And the girl who wouldn't let him disappear quietly. ✅ Nicolas ✅ Lina ✅ "You Talk Too Much" ✅ High school setting ✅ Healing + chaos + slow-burn (Btw I forgot to add that there will be no smut of any kind in this story. Maybe an innocent kiss or something but nothing else)
May I Kiss Your Scars? || BL
