Touchdowns and Tenderness, écrit par urmomwastasty

Luca "The Tank" Davis is a star player on the Bayview University football team, a powerful force on the field, and a guy who seems to have it all. He's got the looks, the fame, the skill, and a reputation that precedes him. Off the field, he's known for his cold, distant demeanor, and it's not hard to see why he's learned the hard way that people only want to be around him for what he can do for them. He trusts no one. But everything starts to change when he meets Isla Matthews. Isla is a quiet, invisible figure on campus who's hiding from her past. She's the girl who walks around in oversized sweaters, sits alone in the back of every lecture, and is determined to stay unnoticed. She's carrying emotional scars, and she doesn't want anyone to know. She's also never cared about football-until one day, she accidentally bumps into Luca in a library study room. They don't talk much at first, but something about Isla's sadness and Luca's bitterness intrigues the other. He can see there's more to her than she lets on. She's not chasing his fame or fortune, and that's different from every other person in his life. As their paths cross more and more-during long study sessions, group projects, and unexpected moments-they find that their pain and struggles mirror each other in unexpected ways. But while Luca's life is splashed all over social media and the front page of the campus paper, Isla remains a shadow, a quiet girl with a broken heart. The story is about them finding each other when everything around them is falling apart. It's a romance built on trust, healing, and the realization that the loudest people don't always have the deepest pain, and the quietest people aren't always the weakest.

More Than This, écrit par Starcrossed_J

DARCY When Darcy packed her life into two suitcases and left Australia for college in the U.S., she thought she knew what to expect-long lectures, late-night study sessions, and a constant ache for the family and home she left behind. What she didn't expect was how lonely it would feel trying to fit into a world that doesn't quite feel like hers. Nursing school is demanding, and most days she's just trying to keep her head above water. But slowly, she begins to carve out a place for herself: a group of friends who make her laugh, nights filled with cheap pizza and endless chatter, and the quiet, unshakable hope that maybe she belongs here after all. She isn't looking for love. Not yet. But sometimes love has a way of finding you in the most unexpected places-across a crowded campus, under the lights of a late-night party, or in the steady gaze of someone who sees you for exactly who you are. LANCE College was supposed to be simple for me-train hard, play harder, keep my head down, and focus on the future. Soccer has always been my anchor, the one thing that makes sense when everything else feels too loud. I've got teammates, a busy schedule, and more attention than I know what to do with. On paper, it looks perfect. But sometimes perfect feels empty. The parties, the casual flings, the noise-it all blurs together, and I can't help wondering if there's more to life than being "that guy" everyone expects me to be. And then I see her. Not in the way you notice someone across a room because they're trying to be noticed. She's quieter, almost guarded, like she's still finding her footing here. There's something in the way she carries herself, something that makes me want to know her story. I wasn't looking for anything real. But maybe real has a way of finding you-when you least expect it.

Something Between Then and Now, écrit par iamquietelle

She was the girl who always followed the rules-the eldest daughter from a well-off family, the quiet achiever who excelled in her studies but hid her heart behind logic and restraint. An accountancy student turned successful accountant, she lived by discipline and precision, convincing everyone-including herself-that love was never her priority. But deep down, she longed to be seen, understood, and loved for who she truly was, not just for what she could achieve. He, on the other hand, was everything she wasn't-an engineering student with effortless charm, a campus heartthrob, the kind of person whose laughter filled rooms and whose warmth drew people in. They were worlds apart, yet she couldn't help but admire him from a distance throughout their college years. Until one day, with her friends' encouragement, she took the risk she never thought she would-confessing her feelings before graduation. His answer was simple, sharp, and unforgettable: "You're not my type." Years later, fate plays its quiet game. At their college reunion, she's no longer the shy, unsure girl he once knew-now a confident accountant, woman chasing her dream of opening her own café. He's an accomplished engineer, still charming, but this time, it's his turn to notice her. Old memories resurface, and unspoken words hang heavy between them. Can time and growth rewrite what once ended in rejection? Or will she finally realize that sometimes, the love you thought you needed isn't the one you were meant to find? A story of second chances, self-worth, and the quiet strength of a woman who learns that being enough for herself is where love truly begins.

My Best Friend's Sister, écrit par animebongo_toon

Arian Ahmed has always loved Rumana-silently, endlessly, and without expecting anything in return. To her, he's nothing more than her brother's loyal best friend, always around, always dependable. To him, she's the reason his heart beats a little faster, the reason he bears every scolding, every misunderstanding, without complaint. But when fate throws them together-through campus days, unexpected trips, laughter, clashes, and even tragedy-Rumana slowly begins to see the man behind the quiet patience. A man who sacrifices without hesitation, who loves without demands. This is not just a story of romance. It's a story of unwavering loyalty, hidden feelings, and the slow bloom of love between two people who were never meant to-but always destined to-find each other.

The Bad Boy and Me, écrit par readbooksforever

Meet Violet Summers. She's the sarcastic girl who doesn't really ever get noticed by anyone. She blends into any crowd because of how "normal" she is. And she loves it. She wouldn't be able to stand the attention of everyone around her. That's why she won't tell Ryan Bloore, her crush for three years, that she practically worships the ground he walks on. Ryan is the captain of the basketball team at their school, so guys see him like he's a god and girls act like he walks on water. If they were to date, all eyes would be on her- she would be under everyone's scrutiny. So she's kept her feelings a secret, and she's done her best to suppress her emotions these past years, but she's realized that she's been so caught up in making people not notice her that she didn't realize how lonely she would be when no one was watching. Now meet Ryder Knight. School bad boy. Quarterback captain and heartthrob. The kind that wears a leather jacket and has tattoos all over his arms. The one who shows up to school riding a motorcycle. Just your average run of the mill "if you get involved with this guy, you will meet some serious trouble" kind of male. Well, too bad for Violet, she's stuck with him now. After all of the years of pushing away her feelings for Ryan because of her fear of being seen, she is now all anyone can look at- because of Ryder. Because of him, she can feel their stares, and she hates him for it. The longer they spend time together, the more Ryder starts to realize he actually enjoys being around her-despite her snarky comments about how much she despises him. And if Violet is being completely honest with herself, she's also starting to realize she might not actually hate the fact that people are noticing her now, but hate the way Ryder makes her feel.
