"You've been staring at me for five minutes," Riley said, raising an eyebrow.

Kaleb grinned. "Wrong. I was admiring."

"That's worse."

"Is it? I think it's sweet."

"You think everything you do is sweet."

Kaleb leaned in. "Not everything. Just the stuff that makes you blush like that."


Riley's always running - from his problems, from his past, from the version of himself he's not ready to face. But when he crashes into Kaleb, the one person he can't seem to outrun, everything changes.

Kaleb's bold, bright, and impossible to ignore - and Riley isn't used to someone wanting more than just the surface. Now, Riley's faced with a choice: keep running, or finally stop and let someone catch up to him.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" My voice came out quiter than intended. "Like what?" He whispered, leaning closer as his hand reached out for my waist. "Like you're either about to kill me or kiss me." I whispered back, afraid to break the spell. He chuckled before tilting his head, his eyes never leaving mine. "It's one of the two." He said, now smirking. *** Karthik Kaur was an over-achiever- and it was visible. He did his best on every test, making sure to not miss a single point even though it was only his first year. On the other hand, a boy not so different, but very different, was in the same class as him- known as Ethan Dickinson. He was also an over-achiever and aimed for the highest grade. The huge difference was although that on one side, where Karthik wasn't afraid to show his 'nerdy' side, on the other side there was Ethan who did everything to not show his 'nerdy' side. Karthik finally realises that this 'nonchalant' and 'careless' boy is actually competing with him. And instead of fair play, he cheats! At evening, before every test, Ethan decides to disturb Karhtik in one way or another. Calling him from an unknown phone number, knocking loudly while he's trying to focus- these 'harmless' pranks were all a part of Ethan's plan. What happens when Karthik decides to prank him back, and the very harmless prank of his turns out to be harmful? But not to Ethan, but to himself? Is this book only about some regular high school kids, thought? Or does it go deeper? Read to find out! Ratings: #7 in Ethan 22/02-25

Like a bolt of lightning, this stupid boy appeared in my life. First day of summer break between first and second grade, he just appeared- standing on my porch like he was born there. Straight brown hair, wide dark eyes and a fresh sunburn across his cheeks. He was already talking before I even opened the door. I don't know how it happened but it's been ten years. And he's still here. Talking, whether or not I'm listening. Laughing, even if no one else is. He's still too quick- racing around the world like he's scared he's going to miss it. He's gotten taller...much taller. His hair is a little longer, a little wavier, but under the light it still looks the same golden brown it did when we were nine. And now, finally, he was a high school graduate. We both were. Like a bolt of lightning he appeared and like the sun he refused to disappear. _____________________________________________ I fell asleep with my chin pointed at him, the outline of his face being the last thing I saw. How was I supposed to do this? It had always been difficult, hiding this secret, keeping him close. But now, my focus was starting to slip. I couldn't see anything but his lips, his hands, his smile. I couldn't hear anything but my name in his mouth, his jagged breaths and that loud laugh. How am I supposed to be okay with this? How am I supposed to focus on anything other than him? #1- slowburn- 11.10.25🥇 #1- friends to lovers- 11.01.25🥇 #1- fluffandsmut- 11.02.25🥇 #1- college- 11.06.25🥇 #1- best friends- 11.12.25🥇 #1- teammates- 12.04.25 🥇 #3- bxblove- 11.30.25🥉 #4- boyxboy- 11.01.25 #4- lgbt- 11.15.25 #28- mental health- 11.09.25 #31- coming of age- 11.15.25 #36- roommates- 11.04.25 #56- basketball- 11.05.25 #60- secret relationship- 11.02.25 #74- boyxboyromance- 11.01.25
The Limits of Love by JGCohen
29 parts Complete Mature
Fred is your typical teenager; moody, has low-self esteem, and is really bad at math. The only thing that makes him different from the other guys is his taste in music and his sexuality. He knows what he wants right from the start, but is scared of other people thoughts and judgements, and that's why he's kept himself inside the closet ever since he realized he's not really into girls. He tried to hide it from everyone else, even to his close circle of friends, but all of his plans started going south when he meets their new neighbor, Darren, a very handsome fellow who moved to Los Angeles with his family all the way from South Korea to live at the house on the other side of the road. Fred falls for him at first-sight, and things started to escalate when he found out that they were on the same class, and things got even more deeper when Darren agreed to be his tutor in calculus. That's when he realized that his hiding needed to stop. Witness as the two of them struggle with their hardships, relationships, and responsibilities in life as they try to keep their friendship intact from a rollercoaster ride of emotions. Will they manage to keep their relationship as it is, or will it develop into something more, that even an ocean spanning miles and miles couldn't completely separate them from one another?
