When eyes spoke by tanu710

In the quiet corners of a college campus, two hearts collide in the most unexpected way. Anaya, spirited and spoken for, finds herself drawn to Ethan - a boy who watches her not with expectation, but with quiet understanding. What begins as late-night conversations and innocent glances soon unravels into something far more dangerous... and irresistible. Amid stolen moments, silent guilt, and growing desire, they both wrestle with what's right and what feels real. A story of longing, hesitation, and the kind of connection that arrives uninvited but refuses to be ignored - this is a tale of the chaos between commitment and chemistry, where love doesn't always ask for permission before it takes hold.

Where Silence Lingers by acanthaa21

"If things were different..." Jeff's voice trails off. Ivy finishes it for him: "We would've been something, right?" He fell for her when she was still learning how to let people close. She fell for him when he'd already learned how to stay safe behind silence. They walk the same campus, smile the same polite smiles, and avoid the same memories they both keep replaying at night. Jeff doesn't blame her for falling late - he thinks she deserves a love without hesitation. Ivy keeps drifting toward him anyway - a little too curious, a little too attached to the version of him she once imagined. Some stories don't arrive loudly. Some slip in quietly, in the hesitation before a confession, in the space between two hearts that almost touched. A tender, aching slow-burn about timing, courage, and the love that waits in the quiet.

Feining by burntlettersxx

Ariella Hendrix had one rule for surviving senior year: stay focused and stay invisible. As the soon-to-be valedictorian - and daughter of the principal - she had no time for parties, drama, or cocky basketball players with too much swagger and not enough GPA. LaMelo Ball had one goal: the NBA. School? Not on his radar. Homework? Never heard of her. But when failing grades put his season - and his draft dreams - on the line, the last person he expected to be stuck with was quiet, perfect Ariella Hendrix. She's been in love with him for years. He's just noticing her now. Between late-night study sessions, loud team parties, and her twin brother breathing down their necks, the line between helping him pass and catching feelings gets thinner by the day. And the closer they get, the harder it is to hide it from the one man who can ruin it all - her dad. In senior year, everyone's chasing something. For them, it might just be each other.

Teri Nazar Mein by Taeisym

She's always admired him from afar. He's the handsome, popular guy everyone likes... but he only notices her. Their eyes keep meeting, hearts quietly connecting. Until he says, "I'm sorry, I already have a girlfriend." Heartbroken, she steps back. Yet, even after graduation, their unspoken bond lingers. Will their hearts find each other again... or remain a memory?

A Quiet Beginning by def_Axiom

She wasn't looking for anything - not friendship, not love, definitely not him. But all it took was one glance, and Zara's carefully quiet world began to shift. He's unreadable. She's uncertain. And neither of them is ready for what's coming. A Quiet Beginning - where silence meets a spark.

Seat Taken by Amazinglynn_

Nia wasn't planning on falling for the boy in the wheelchair. AJ wasn't planning on letting her go. High school just got way more complicated.

Woven Hearts by InkByManu

Shravani and Deepa, two inseparable friends, embark on a new chapter of their lives at a prestigious university. While they lead seemingly normal lives, their paths take unexpected turns. Deepa's world shifts when she meets Varun, a mysterious and charming Senior. As he helps her navigate campus life, sparks begin to fly, and their bond deepens into something more than friendship. Meanwhile, Shravani harbors a secret-a long-standing, unspoken love for someone from her past. As Deepa's romance blossoms, Shravani quietly searches for the one person her heart has always belonged to, even though he doesn't know.
