Noah Kim had it all-money, looks, a last name that opened doors and shut down competition. But after betrayal turned privilege into a prison, he vanished behind thick glasses, oversized uniforms, and noise-canceling headphones. At Higashi Academy, he's just another invisible face in the crowd-and that's exactly how he wants it.
Until Liz.
Blunt, closed-off, and utterly unimpressed, Liz doesn't care about who he was or what he owns. She doesn't ask questions. She doesn't play nice. She doesn't even pretend to smile-at least not like the others do.
Maybe that's why he can't stop noticing her.
What starts with awkward rooftop encounters and razor-sharp classroom banter begins to unravel something deeper-something neither of them is prepared for. Because Noah's hiding more than just his past, and Liz isn't just guarding her heart-she's buried it.
He's terrified to feel again. She's forgotten how.
And yet, somehow, they keep finding each other.
They're not ready. Not willing. Not even honest.
But love?
Love has a way of showing up anyway.

Not the best friend who became her first kiss... her first love... her everything. But when he moved across the world, he left her with nothing but a broken promise and a gold star necklace she still wears like a scar. She swore she'd wait. He swore they'd find each other again. But two weeks after he came back, he was holding another girl's hand. Now it's war. And Lisa's done playing soft. Noah thought leaving Lisa behind would protect them both. He didn't expect to fall apart without her. Neither did he expect to learn the truth-something so brutal it made him question every moment they'd ever shared and see her as a stranger in the skin of the girl he once loved. And he definitely didn't expect to fall into someone else's arms trying to forget the taste of her lips. But Lisa's not the shy girl he left behind. She's colder now. Hotter, too. And every time he looks at her like he hates her, he wants to grab her and make her remember everything. This isn't just a breakup. It's unfinished business. First love never dies. But it might just destroy them both.

You're It for me
I loved a boy. A boy with the prettiest smile and the messiest hair. A boy who made my heart race. A boy who never looked at me. Until one day... he did. And just like that, everything changed. It started with an art class. A random draw. His name in my hands. What was supposed to be a silly group project turned into late-night chats, endless laughter, and the kind of closeness I never thought I'd have with him. But life isn't always soft. It gets loud. Complicated. And somewhere along the way, we broke. Maybe we were too young. Maybe we weren't ready. Maybe... we were just never meant to last. This is the story of how I fell for him. How I lost him. And how maybe-just maybe-some people find their way back.Complete

Somebody Wrote Me This Way
Enemies to lovers (possibly?) Addison has one rule: avoid the main characters. She's perfectly fine being the background extra in her own high school story - hoodie up, chocolate milk in hand, garlic bread as emotional support. No drama. No clichés. Definitely no "mysterious transfer student with tragic eyes" sitting next to her. But then Hikaru Nakamura shows up. And Avery - perfect hair, perfect laugh - joins the same class. And Jackson, the school's resident chaos magnet, suddenly notices her after one clumsy accident in the hallway. Now Addison's worst nightmare is happening: She's being dragged into a love triangle she never auditioned for. Armed only with sarcasm, self-awareness, and a strong refusal to participate in this rom-com nonsense... Addison might just have to survive being the unwilling heroine of a story she never wanted. All she's ever wanted is to be invisible.
Unspoken heart
At Blackwood Academy, rivalry runs deep, and no one embodies this more than Noah Sullivan and Liam Carter-two top students locked in a never-ending battle for dominance. Whether it's grades, sports, or student council elections, they never miss a chance to one-up each other. Their hatred is legendary, their clashes explosive. But behind Noah's sharp words and cold glares lies a secret-one that he refuses to admit, even to himself. Because as much as he claims to despise Liam Carter, his heart tells a different story. To make matters worse, Liam is completely oblivious. His focus is entirely on Emma Wright, the girl he's hopelessly in love with. He showers her with attention, oblivious to the quiet torment brewing inside the very person he calls his greatest enemy. As their rivalry intensifies, so do Noah's emotions. Every glance, every argument, every stolen moment only fuels the longing he tries so hard to bury. But when unexpected circumstances force them to spend more time together, lines start to blur. What happens when hatred masks something far more dangerous? And will Noah be able to hide his feelings forever, or will the truth finally break through? A story of unrequited love, slow-burning tension, and the thin line between rivalry and desire-Unspoken Hearts is a tale of emotions left unsaid and the heart's relentless battle against reason.Complete
Heirs Of Aurous
At the most prestigious school on earth, justice doesn't come from the principal's office. It comes from someone wearing a mask. Aureus International doesn't educate students, it ranks them, sorting children into tiers by blood and bank balance until the line between privilege and punishment starts to blur. Money buys silence here. Corruption wears a uniform. And when the system protects the wrong people one too many times, someone starts making them pay for it. They call this someone W. No face. No pattern anyone can prove. Just security footage that loops at the same hour, every time, and a string of golden reputations left in ruins by morning. Eight students walk these halls with more to hide than the rest of the school combined: old debts, older secrets, and a silence none of them are willing to break first. Whether they're hunting W, hiding from W, or something far messier than either, none of them are saying. They say the truth always comes to light, but at Aureus, even light has learned to keep secrets. ______________________________________ Side note: 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 1 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐞𝐢𝐫𝐬 𝐎𝐟 𝐀𝐮𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐃𝐮𝐞𝐭 Ib: School 2017 Release days: Whenever I get time. ⚠️ The image used in the cover is not mine. ⚠️
