Meadow Winslow has spent her life on the sidelines-observing, learning, enduring. Being mute in a world that never slows down for her has made her tough, but it's also made her careful. Careful about who she lets in, careful about the fights she picks, careful about the secrets she keeps.
But then there's Atlas Linden. Mysterious, brooding, and way too good at pretending she doesn't exist. What started as an unexpected connection between them shattered the night Meadow found him in the last place she ever expected.
Atlas thought he could stay away. He thought he could keep her safe by keeping her out of his world. But when Meadow finally stops waiting for him to let her in he realizes that silence has never been his ally.
Because some echoes are too loud to ignore. And some people are impossible to forget.

When Sophomores Collide (BoyxBoy) ✓
"Theo. If I'm not mistaken? Isn't this yours?" He extended a hand, holding my penguin printed handkerchief. My eyes couldn't have gotten so wide. I quickly swiped it out of his grasp.

His goal is to find love. But because of his sexual preference, it's not always easy. But he has his eye on one boy. Hunter Fierro. I guess you could say he is... the cliche heartthrob of the school.

As they blindly step foot into Sophomore Year. Theo will make unexpected friends, allies and enemies, maybe even meet the love of his life!

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)

He then moves forward towards me, and I take a step back but my back hits the brick wall. He puts his arms up his palms against the wall caging me in looking into my eyes.
