At Emberfell Academy, masks aren't part of the dress code-but everyone wears one.
In a school built on legacy but ruled by merit, the past lingers in seating charts and family crests. Ava Morgan walks into the semester with a smirk and no expectations. Liam Carter doesn't bother looking twice-until he does. Their paths cross like sparks-brief, bright, and hard to ignore.
But not everything starts with curiosity. Some connections begin in silence, in stares that burn without reason. Alexis Sterling always smiles. Emily Aster never does. Yet when they find themselves side by side, something unspoken and sharp rises to the surface-and neither of them knows why.
Friendships fracture before they begin. Secrets stir behind well-fitted uniforms. Emberfell is more than a school-it's a stage, a test, a reckoning. And the first day is only the beginning.

Crashing Into YOU
Brielle Stone (19) Freshman communications major at UCLA. A mix of chaos and charm. Streetwear, crop tops, hoodies, and heels. She works out religiously, the gym is her therapy, the one place she feels in control. Behind the confident smile and smoky eyeliner is a girl still learning how to breathe. Her parents have always decided everything for her : her grades, her friends, her image. The rebellion came late, but it came loud. Smoking. Parties. People she never texts back. Freedom is her quiet revenge. She wants to be a social media manager : something that's hers, something creative, something free. She's got confidence that fills a room; baggy cargos one day, tiny black dress the next. Hiphop playlists, lip gloss, and gym sessions are her therapy. She's not soft, not easy to impress, and not about to fall for a guy like Asher... or so she tells herself. Asher Kane (20) Second-year business major and UCLA's soccer star. He's the kind of guy who walks into a room and people notice, not because he tries, but because he just owns it. He's 6'1, athletic, with that casual designer look, chains, crisp shirts, and sneakers worth more than some cars. He vapes between classes, drinks to forget his father's expectations, and smokes when the pressure builds. Soccer is his escape, his one rebellion against the life planned for him: taking over the family's international business empire. Soccer is his life... until Brielle starts to mess with his focus in ways he didn't expect. Everyone thinks he's the confident, flirtatious bad boy. But he's just trying to hold himself together.

Academic Rivals to Lovers in a Boarding School ..... "You wanna know the really dumb meaning behind my name?" He muses and I walk ahead of him. "Nope." "Basically, it means the transporter of goods by cart or wagon, it's from an old french word I believe. You wanna know yours?" "You looked up mine?" I question, hiding the small smile on my face, because I'm mad at him or whatever. For... I don't know why but I'm mad at him because I am. Carter catches up to me, grinning to himself. "Emilia means rivals, it's derived from the root of some latin word. Isn't that strange?" That's just a coincidence, he's probably lying anyway. "Yeah, real peculiar." I reply. ..... #2 - onebedtrope 16/06/22 #1 - mila 16/06/22Complete

Velbridge Academy
Welcome to Velbridge Academy - where royalty, wealth, and legacy aren't just inherited... they're weaponized. Tucked behind gilded gates and hidden from the public eye, Velbridge isn't your typical elite boarding school. It's the academy of the crowned, the heirs of empires, and the future rulers of the world. Power isn't taught here - it's expected. When Lilith Aurelian, an ordinary girl with a quiet past and a sharp mind, earns her place among the thirteen - a group made of royalty, aristocrats, and heirs - she doesn't just step into privilege. She steps into centuries of secrets, tension, and rituals built to break the weak. What begins as icy stares and velvet walls becomes something else entirely. Between intimate spa rooms divided only by curtains, private jets that whisper confessions in the dark, and late-night lounges where power slips through murmured words and steady hands - Lilith discovers that belonging is far more dangerous than exclusion. Friendships bloom. Trust fractures. Love simmers beneath silk robes and stolen glances. And just when the group begins to heal, a single mistake threatens to unravel it all. Because at Velbridge, one wrong move isn't just social suicide - it's legacy death. This is Velbridge: where loyalty is tested, intimacy is a silent language, and the only thing thicker than blood... is the silence that follows betrayal.Complete
The Scarlet Ruins
Scarlet was chaos, ruins were the cost. Some wars are fought with bullets. Theirs is fought with kisses, chaos, and scars. When enemies reunite in a champagne-soaked ballroom, one stolen glance is all it takes to ignite years of buried rage, regret-and heat. She wanted to escape. He wanted a second chance. Neither expected the chaos that would follow. Ember Quinn isn't just the mastermind behind Aliferous, the elite custom-jewellery brand-she's fire wrapped in silk. Ruthlessly ambitious, emotionally armoured, and scarred by memories that never die, she's built her world on silence, success, and survival. And no, she doesn't need anyone-especially not him. Xavier Costa was the boy who stole her spotlight and the man who never really left her mind. All arrogance and edge, he's the storm that always knew how to unravel her calm. But this time, he's not just here to torment-he's the new contract. The one she can't ignore. What began as rivalry has returned as reckoning. The battlefield? A business deal neither can escape. And the weapons? Smirks, secrets, and a touch that still burns. He's not letting her go. She's not letting him win. But somewhere between hatred and hunger... they forget the difference.

Ava, the confident and stunning blonde law student, is known for her intelligence and charisma that makes her a standout in the faculty. She's always been at the top of her class, excelling in academic competitions and being a social force. But there's one person who competes with her at every turn-Logan, a brooding and intense law student with exceptional skills and a sharp mind. The two are constant academic rivals, constantly competing for the top spot, and their rivalry has made them dislike each other from the start. However, when a high-profile corruption case surfaces, both Ava and Logan are forced to team up in order to solve it.

This new challenge pushes them to work closely together, forcing them to confront not only the case but also their own personal histories and secrets.

On the other hand, Ava struggles to see Logan as more than just a grumpy, distant competitor who keeps everyone at arm's length. But as they collaborate on the case, Ava begins to uncover Logan's hidden vulnerabilities, and Logan starts to see the real, sincere side of Ava that isn't just about winning or looking good. As the case intensifies, they must decide whether to stay true to their personal beliefs and fight for justice or let their growing feelings for each other undermine everything they've worked for. Their rivalry shifts into something far more complicated-an undeniable attraction that neither of them can easily ignore.Complete
