JULIET
Starting junior year at Rosewood High, I expected to lose myself in textbooks, science experiments, and the comforting quiet of the library.
What I didn't expect was to be paired with Alex Rhodes-the school's star quarterback and every girl's dream-in chemistry class.
Alex is charming, confident, and completely out of my league. When he offers to study together, I'm wary. How could someone like him be interested in someone like me?
But as we dive into chemical reactions, I discover there's more to Alex than his athletic prowess and easy smile.
Beneath the surface, he's smart, curious, and utterly captivating. I should keep my distance, but every time his hand brushes against mine or he leans in close to explain a concept, I feel a thrill that I can't ignore.
He's a magnetic force, and I'm helpless against the attraction brewing between us.
ALEX
Junior year means football, friends, and maintaining my reputation as Rosewood High's golden boy.
What it doesn't mean is falling for a girl like Juliet Mayfield-quiet, brilliant, and completely different from anyone I've ever known.
Assigned as her lab partner, I'm instantly intrigued. Juliet is everything I didn't know I wanted: passionate, insightful, and with a hidden fire that draws me in.
Our chemistry goes beyond the classroom, sparking a connection I can't fucking ignore. Her shyness is endearing, her intelligence enthralling.
The more time I spend with her, the more I crave her presence, her touch, her everything. But being with Juliet means challenging expectations, breaking the mold I've been cast in.
And damn, I want her. I want her in ways that make my heart pound and my body ache. I want her laughter, her moans, her whispers of my name. I want all of her, and I don't give a damn about the consequences.
"I like you, Mr. President."
Iyan ang madalas bukambibig ni Sariah Loralie Calliope kay Conrad Archer-the most popular model student in their campus, superhero ng lahat, at higit sa lahat, ang kaniyang nag-iisang childhood crush at first love.
Since the first day she mets him, she already knew that he is her destiny. Kaya naman ginawa niya ang lahat mapansin lang ng binata. Pero palagi naman siyang nirereject nito. Hindi tuloy malaman ni Sariah kung ano pa ba ang dapat niyang gawin magustuhan lamang ng taong gusto niya.
She was a popular beauty, pinagkakaguluhan ng maraming lalaki, nagmula sa mayamang pamilya, she has it all, pero pagdating kay Conrad, isa lang siyang normal na babaeng pilit pinagsisiksikan ang sarili sa taong hindi naman siya gusto.
Ngunit paano kung ang dating 'I like you' ay magbago? What if Sariah forgets about him, turning her young and sweet love into hatred? Will she continue to pursue her longest desire to win his heart? Or she will soon keep her distance, forget, and unlove him, her unrequited love?
