Ocean never planned on making her college life complicated. She had her Psychology classes, her matcha, and her chaotic but reliable group of friends. Life was supposed to be predictable-until Lofty happened.
Lofty, the enigmatic Nursing student who always seemed just a little too cool, a little too distant. She wasn't part of Ocean's world, yet somehow, their paths kept crossing-through fleeting glances, unexpected encounters, and the occasional teasing that left Ocean more flustered than she'd like to admit.
What starts as a harmless crush-observed from afar, whispered about in hushed tones-slowly turns into something more real. As Ocean and Lofty find themselves tangled in spontaneous adventures, stolen moments, and the thrill of the unknown, Ocean realizes that maybe, just maybe, life was never meant to be predictable in the first place.
A story of college chaos, late-night conversations, and the slow, unexpected pull between two people who were never supposed to collide.
After enduring years of neglect and cruelty from her mother and stepfather, Ariana's life changes drastically when tragedy brings her under the guardianship of five brothers she's never met and they never even knew they had a sister.
For her brothers, learning they have a sister is an unwelcome surprise. Suspicious and reluctant, her brothers see Aria as an outsider, a stranger disrupting the fragile balance of their lives.
For Aria, their home is both a new beginning and a constant reminder of the family that left her behind.
Haunted by the pain of her past, Aria struggles to adjust, her every action guarded and her trust hard to earn.
As her brothers try to understand her, they begin to glimpse the scars she hides and the strength she carries. Little by little, resentment turns to empathy, and the walls between them start to crumble. But just as the siblings begin to find common ground, the secrets and trauma of Aria's old life threaten to tear them apart. Together, they must decide whether they can overcome the shadows of the past to forge a family and whether Aria can finally find a place to belong.
