Halfway to Almost
Malia Baker has always believed life makes sense when it follows an equation - study hard, keep your head down, and survive high school one physics problem at a time. But her logic doesn't account for Kylie Cantrall - captain of the girls' basketball team, effortlessly cool, and completely out of her league. Kylie's used to being the confident one - the face everyone recognizes, the girl who always has it together. Until she catches herself thinking about the quiet, sharp-eyed nerd from her English class. The one with the messy notes, nervous smile, and the kind of curiosity that makes Kylie want to know everything about her. When a tutoring session turns into something more, both girls find themselves pulled into an unexpected orbit - one that's equal parts awkward, electric, and terrifyingly real. But in a school where reputations rule, can two girls from opposite ends of the social spectrum figure out how to be honest about what they feel - and who they're becoming?
Undeniable (kylia)
Kylie and Malia are seventeen and in their final year of high school-a time that should be full of prom plans, college applications, and senior pranks. Instead, for them, it's the final chapter of a long-standing rivalry. Their moms are best friends and always dreamed their daughters would be just as close. Unfortunately, Kylie and Malia have spent their whole lives proving them wrong. Kylie, the town's golden girl, is a wildly popular influencer-but not the kind that lets fame go to her head. She's genuine, funny, and deeply rooted in her hometown, using her platform to lift others up rather than tear them down. Despite her online success, she's just a regular teenager with a tight-knit group of friends: Ruby, Josh, Jadah, Kiara, and Peder. Malia, on the other hand, is queen bee of the cheer squad. She's beautiful, sharp-tongued, and completely used to getting what she wants. To most, she's untouchable-just not in a good way. Her inner circle-Momona, McKenna, and Dior-rules the halls with ruthless confidence. Everyone knows Kylie and Malia despise each other. The tension is infamous. Their friends feud by default. The only truce is Dior and Jadah's unexpected relationship, which just adds more fuel to the fire. But as senior year drags on, something shifts. A brush of the hand. A glance that lasts too long. An insult that lands a little too soft. Kylie and Malia start catching themselves noticing each other for the wrong reasons-or maybe the right ones. Neither of them wants to admit it. Pride and years of hostility get in the way. Their friends would never let them live it down. Still, something keeps pulling them together. And when the masks finally slip, when the pretending gets too heavy to carry, Kylie and Malia are left facing a truth they've spent years avoiding: maybe they never really hated each other. Maybe they just didn't know how to want each other out loud.Complete
Enemies to Lovers - Kylia story
Kylie Cantrall and Malia Baker were once inseparable - childhood best friends with matching bracelets and late-night video calls that never ended in goodbyes. But everything changed the day Malia disappeared without a word. No texts. No explanations. Just silence. Two years later, Malia's back - colder, sharper, and with a mysterious edge that Kylie doesn't recognize... or trust. The betrayal still burns in Kylie's chest, and it doesn't help that Malia acts like she never cared in the first place. Tension sparks the moment they reunite. The hallway stares. The biting remarks. The undeniable chemistry. What neither of them wants to admit is that under the bitterness lies something unspoken. Something real. But with old wounds, buried secrets, and their tight-knit friend group caught in the crossfire, Kylie and Malia must decide: will they let the past define them, or risk everything for what might still be burning between them? Enemies by fate. Lovers by choice... if they can survive each other first.Complete
Eventually (kylia)
Kylie's always been the kind of girl who falls too fast and feels too deeply, though ever since a brutal breakup left her traumatized, she's never been the same. Before the breakup, she was all in, a hopeless romantic, loyal to a fault, and crazy in love. She gave everything to someone who promised forever, only to be betrayed. It felt like being kissed on the forehead while a knife was sliding between her ribs. Tender, calculated, and devastatingly personal. The pain wasn't just emotional; it was identity-shattering. This new Kylie's known for two things: wild nights and a heart locked behind sarcasm and tequila. Feelings? Overrated. But everything changes the night her best friend throws a college party and she meets Malia. Malia's a quiet, soft-spoken, clever girl with curly brown hair and eyes that seem to ask all the right questions. That night, they hit it off right away. Maybe it was their chemistry, or maybe it was just the tequila. Though the day after the party goes a bit differently. Kylie does what she always does: flirts, charms, and makes her move. But Malia isn't like the others. She turns Kylie down, gently but firmly, explaining she's not interested in meaningless flings. She wants something real. And the for first time in years, Kylie finds herself wanting to slow down, to dig deeper, and maybe, revert to the old, lover-girl version of herself, or possibly, be the kind of person someone like Malia could fall for. Little does she know, love really does make you crazy. TW: mature language, alcohol, substance abuse, murder, and some other sensitive subjects.Complete
