Beatrice Yolaine De Vera has always been the girl who keeps it together. Vice President of the council, top of her class, the one who never loses her cool even when everything else is falling apart. Structure, rules, and composure, that's how she survived every storm.
Then came Raive Wesley Hernandez.
Campus heartthrob. Artist. The boy who treats mess like oxygen and rules like suggestions. With paint stained hands and a grin that screams trouble, he's the last person Bea wants anywhere near her carefully built walls.
But when the Dean pairs them up for a mentorship project, Bea finds herself face-to-face with the very thing she avoids: unpredictability. And Raive? He seems determined to make her life messy, with teasing emails, reckless charm, and sketches that see through the cracks she swore no one else could.
What happens when control meets chaos, when restraint collides with freedom, and when a wildfire starts to spark between two people who swore they'd never mix?
Because one thing Bea forgot about fire.
It doesn't ask permission before it burns.
What the people don't see is the girl behind the mask-the one who mastered the concept of detachment just as much as composure.
Bea loves like wildfire but withdraw just as fast. You'll never win if you're more invested than her.
Between composure and confusion,
between her rules and his canvas,
lies a story neither of them planned to paint.

Loving The Enigma ✔
"You're mine, Layla." "What-t?" she whispered, still trying to catch up to the whirlwind of emotions crashing through her. "Mine," he repeated, his voice firm and fierce. "Not Liam's. Not anyone else's. Mine. Only mine." ~~ Crestwood High Trilogy #1 ● LAYLA HARPER I'm all about good vibes, great art, and even better company. I'm always on the lookout for new adventures and experiences to fuel my art. But then I saw him - the mysterious guy in school who seems to exist in a world of his own. He's silent, cold, and distant, like a ghost haunting the halls. What secrets is he hiding behind those piercing eyes? I'm drawn to the mystery of him, and I find myself wondering what it would take to crack the code of his icy exterior. ● DANIEL GARCIA I'm a ghost in the halls, a shadow in the crowd. People see me, but they don't really look. I'm a master of hiding in plain sight, of being invisible despite being right in front of them. My walls are up, my guard is down... or is it the other way around? Either way, I'm not letting anyone in. Not after what happened. But then she showed up, Layla Harper is like a ray of light in a world that's gone dark. And I'm not sure if I'm drawn to her or repelled by her. Either way, I'm stuck on her, like a puzzle piece that won't fit. ~ What happens when sparks fly between sunshine & darkness? ~Complete

Worth the Risk
August & Colin | WRU series | book 1 We take risks. We make mistakes. We lie. We love. We hurt. We lose total control. I took a risk. I paid the price. I made a mistake. I felt the guilt. I lied. I lie. I loved. I try not to. I hurt. I still do. I lost control. I'm losing again. I try to stick to my plan, I try to follow my rules, I try to silence my heart, I try to keep control of the domino stones that represent my life. But one domino fell and the rest just followed. *** "We shouldn't do this," he whispers against my lips. I should applaud him for having the strength to act on that thought because I haven't been able to. At one point I wanted to, but his touches made the impulse to stop vanish. Now, the only thing I want to act on is the longing inside my chest as I think about demolishing the space between us. "Do you want to stop?" I can feel his frown against my forehead. He nudges my nose before placing a featherlight kiss on my mouth. His hands slide over my jawline, his thumbs slowly caressing my cheeks. He gives me another kiss. Slow and deliberately, as if he's still debating the answer to my question as he slicks his tongue over mine. He softly sucks on my bottom lip, dragging it with him when he pulls away. "I can't," he confesses before he presses his lips back on mine. *** All Rights Reserved (Do not copy this story, thank you :))Complete

Bound To Burn - The Highschool Diaries
Amy West was that girl. New to the school ,Sharp-witted. A quiet storm with kind eyes and answers always ready before the teacher finished asking. She walked the halls like she was made of both porcelain and iron. A little mysterious. A little untouchable. And then there was Alessio De Luca. The boy rejoining this year, smooth hair, that careless grin like he knew exactly what he was doing - even if he didn't. He wasn't the top student, but he made top hearts race. He had that energy. The kind that made some teachers frustrated, boys jealous, and girls curious , the one who got all respect . He didn't ask for attention - he attracted it. They were opposites. Fire and rain. Brains and instinct. Logic and chaos. But you know how it goes - Sometimes the brightest light draws the darkest shadow. And sometimes the heart wants what the mind can't understand. It was the first day of the school year. Notebooks crisp. Uniforms stiff. Air filled with the scent of ambition and adolescent anxiety. Amy West walked into St. Gabriel's High for the first time. New city. New school. New everything. She wasn't shy - just... observant. Cautious. The kind of girl who spoke only when she meant it. The kind who listened twice before trusting once. She was ready for a quiet year. Grades, books, and maybe a few new friends. "Alessio De Luca is rejoining this year." Dropped out last year. No one really knew why. Fights? Family stuff? A bad crowd? A broken heart? Whispers followed him before his shoes even stepped onto campus. When he walked in on the first day - heads turned. Sunglasses still on. Hair pushed back. That smirk that said "I know you're talking about me." One glance. That was all.
"You're mine, Layla." "What-t?" she whispered, still trying to catch up to the whirlwind of emotions crashing through her. "Mine," he repeated, his voice firm and fierce. "Not Liam's. Not anyone else's. Mine. Only mine." ~~ Crestwood High Trilogy #1 ● LAYLA HARPER I'm all about good vibes, great art, and even better company.
