Athena has always been the bigger girl in a world that celebrates thinness, and no matter how many times people tell her she's beautiful, she can't shake the feeling that she's too much. Too big. Too loud. Too visible. In her heart, she believes no one could ever love her the way she is-not even Rhea.
Rhea, enjoys solitude and finds energy in quiet, intimate settings This could make her seem a bit mysterious or hard to read at first but she has a secret: from the moment she laid eyes on Athena, she knew she was in love. But, caught in her insecurities, Athena can't imagine that someone like Rhea would ever want someone like her.
When their worlds collide, Athena struggles to accept the love Rhea offers, too afraid to believe it's real. But as Rhea's quiet patience and unwavering affection chip away at Athena's walls, both girls are forced to confront the lies they've been telling themselves about who they are, what they deserve, and the power of love to heal even the deepest wounds.
In Her Eyes, love isn't about fixing what's broken-it's about seeing the beauty that's already there.

Right Place, Right Time - Rhea Ripley
-A/N, this is in an alternate universe where Rhea/Demi is not famous- Imagine being the only chubby girl at the gym? This was the type of embarrassment I had to deal with every time I went to workout. I would try to hide my face behind my baggy hoodie, hoping that nobody would notice me. But of course, they did, I wasn't hard to miss. The snickers and whispers were impossible to ignore. It was like they were all laughing at me, like I was some sort of joke. But I was there for the same reason, to become a better version of myself. All the jokes and laughter dropped my motivation to an all-time low. I was already feeling so self-conscious about my body, and now I had to deal with this? I wanted to give up, to just go home and hide under my covers. But then, I saw her. She was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen in my life. She was confident, strong, and unapologetically herself. She didn't let anyone's comments bother her. In fact, she seemed to take pleasure in her own success. Her hair jet black, perfectly tied back, tight t-shirt revealing just enough muscle for me to know she was serious about her workouts. She moved with such ease and grace, as if she'd been born to be there. It was almost as if she was dancing to some invisible beat. I couldn't help but watch her. Seeing her smile and laugh with her friends made me realize that maybe I was wrong about this place. Maybe there was a way to fit in, to find my own sense of belonging. My name is Kayla, and this is my experience of "Love at first sight."Complete
