Frankie Callahanetti has three skills: lying, hustling, and making sure she always looks better than everyone in the room.

When she bluffs her way into the elite halls of St. Dymphna's Academy, she tells herself it's simple: play nice, flirt smarter, marry rich - God willing. Survival first. Emotions later.

She had set her sights on Jace Whitmore-the golden boy, too sweet to scam but far too easy to resist-yet it was Rowan Wu, the one who saw straight through her hustle and hated her for it, who was fast becoming a nuisance she couldn't quite charm away

Frankie's spent her whole life building walls thick enough to keep her heart safe.
But St. Dymphna's isn't a school. It's a battlefield.

And for the first time, the walls might not be enough.All Rights Reserved

Not Your Girlfriend by FinalBoi88

Jesse Valentine's viral engagement made him America's sweetheart-the perfect gay love story everyone needed to see. But when a simple text reads "Hey there, pretty boy," his carefully constructed world begins to crumble. Beneath Jesse's polished exterior lies a decade-old secret: Anson Donovan, his first love who destroyed him on prom night, leaving more than just a broken jaw in his wake. Now Jesse has everything he thought he wanted-Ezekiel, a stable banker who's planned their perfect future, viral fame that inspires LGBTQ2+ youth nationwide, and a life built on safety over passion. But Anson is back. Sober, divorced, and finally brave enough to fight for what he lost. The star athlete who once whispered "Pretty Boy" against library shelves now threatens everything Jesse has built-and everything he's pretended to be. Torn between the man who saves him and the man who sets him on fire, Jesse faces an impossible choice. How do you live authentically when your perfect lie has become other people's hope? How do you choose between safety and truth when millions are watching? When Jesse's world explodes on live television, he'll discover that sometimes the most dangerous thing isn't loving someone who once broke you-it's pretending to be someone you're not. A story about viral fame, second chances, and the courage to burn down a perfect life in pursuit of a real one.

Cunning Heart, Innocent Eyes by toldbyvie

Synopsis: Sophie Lee might look like the sweetest girl in the room-soft-spoken, polite, and always giving off the perfect "I'm-not-a-threat" vibe. But beneath that innocent smile, she's the most cunning, sharp-minded strategist you'll ever meet. The world may think she's just another sweet, naive girl, but she's got more tricks up her sleeve than anyone could guess. Then there's Vera Han, the textbook "green tea" villain. She's charming, graceful, and always knows how to get a man's attention. Or at least, that's what everyone believes. In truth, she's all sweetness on the outside, but poison on the inside-a manipulator who will stop at nothing to get what she wants, especially if it means stealing away Jace Park, the rich and handsome heir to a major business empire. But there's a twist. While Vera's scheming gets bolder and more obvious, Sophie keeps her cool. She's not interested in playing a dirty game. She just watches from the sidelines, letting Vera dig her own grave with each move she makes, all while making sure Jace sees the real face behind the villainess's act. No one can beat Vera at her own game like Sophie can, and with each new plan Vera tries, Sophie pulls the strings from behind the scenes-subtly, quietly, and with deadly precision.

Faking It by MissKatey

All that high school junior Ellie Morris-Whittaker wants is to play division one soccer in college. Good thing she has a full ride to a super-prestige prep school, right? But her history grades are tanking, and losing her scholarship means bye bye prep school. Enter her new tutor, William - the hot student council president she can't stop thinking about. And even though he's kinda-sorta dating someone else, it's pretty clear he's also kinda-sorta crushing on Ellie. It's her own personal purgatory, until William's troublesome, varsity star striker brother Theo proposes a solution: a fake dating ruse. Too bad Theo's annoying AF and definitely not worth Ellie's time. But when Ellie's almost benched for good, Theo's pretty much the only one whose pointers can help win her spot back. And the more Ellie gets to know Theo, the more she realizes that she might've crushed on the wrong brother. Worse, she might actually be falling for the guy she was only supposed to be fake dating...

King of Smoke by LoveHeist_Theo

He rules the school like a king. I'm here to burn his empire down. Luxora Academy trains the next generation of power players-mafia heirs, political legacies, and people who know how to smile while hiding a knife. No one gets in without a name. Except me. I'm not one of them. I'm a spy sent by the rival syndicate, dropped into the lion's den with one mission: get close to Kieran D'Angelo. Gain his trust. And destroy him from the inside. He's cold, untouchable, and too dangerous to be this good-looking. I know better than to fall for his smirk, his charm, or the rare flickers of something human behind those ruthless eyes. But the more I learn about him, the more the mission starts to blur. Because Kieran might be a monster... But I'm starting to wonder what that makes me. He's the enemy. I was sent to ruin him. So why does it feel like he's the only one who sees me?

She has to keep tabs on Evelyn-her uncle's way-too-composed fiancée... who also happens to be Naomi's new professor. Simple, right? Except Evelyn's not what Naomi expected. She's smart, calm under pressure, and somehow always one step ahead. The more time Naomi spends around her, the harder it is to tell who's actually playing who-and why Naomi can't stop thinking about her. Now stuck between loyalty, a lifetime of rebellion, and a connection she definitely wasn't ready for, Naomi's starting to realize some secrets don't stay hidden for long. And falling for the wrong person? That was never part of the plan.

WHEN SHE FALLS by cglipper

Declan Chase is about to start the life of his dreams, with a promising career in plastic surgery and a supermodel-with-two-Harvard-degrees fiancée. All that stands in the way is one last month of med school, and a secret that could ruin everything. Callahan Perrin is a young prodigy with a troubled past. Famous since childhood for her unique art, her gift is also her curse. She's got every reason to be happy. A new exhibit that's getting rave reviews. A starring role in her own wildly popular reality TV show. So what is she doing in Belmont Springs Psychiatric Hospital, days after an overdose that might have been intentional? When Dec is assigned to be Callie's med student, neither one of them wants to be there. She's looking to get out of Belmont as fast as possible. He's counting down the days to graduation and his wedding. So what if they share a slightly warped sense of humor, or get so wrapped up in conversation that hours feel like minutes? Forget chemistry. Romance is off limits. After all, who would be crazy enough to fall in love in a psych ward? **Content / Trigger Warning: this story contains scenes of drug use, including an overdose, as well as suicidal ideation (Chapters 4 and 31).

Distractions around every corner with the bad boy and the popular mean girl group that doesn't approve of the bad boys attention on her.

SHE WOULD NEVER KNOW. by pretty_navii

Two truths, one lie. Two people, one lie. Your job? Find the liar and hunt them down. Your reward? Maybe you will get to live, but a happy ending isn't guaranteed. Sounds simple, right? Until it isn't. What if you fall in love in this game of survival? Well, then, congratulations. You just made this game even harder. ──★ "I loved you." I said while my voice broke a little, my gaze still fixated on his eyes. "And now?" He asked, his eyes turning red as if he was trying to hold back his tears. "I don't." ──★ Love does make people the best version of themselves, but what if that same love pulls you so down that you never find the courage to get up again?
