It was just a concert.
A chaotic night in a small-town theater packed with teens screaming Taylor Swift lyrics like it was the last summer of their lives. Nova thought it would be just another loud memory-greasy pizza, soda, and songs screamed into the night sky.
But then she saw Zarelle Priz Chandler.
Cool. Composed. Untouchably calm.
She wasn't dancing. She wasn't singing. She was just there-like the stillness before a storm.
A single "Hey" from her wasn't just casual. It was sharp, slow, dangerous.
And for Nova, it wasn't just the start of a conversation-it was the start of everything.
Because what begins as a spark can turn into wildfire.
And what feels casual... can burn deeper than you ever expected.

Stamped On Me ~ Duke Dennis
She didn't do it for attention. Not really. It was supposed to be a wild, unforgettable night out with her girls-dancing, laughing, and maybe making a few questionable decisions. But when the tequila hit, the music was right, and her friends dared her to take it a step further... she did the one thing she swore she'd never do. She got Duke Dennis' name tattooed on her hip. Not just any tattoo-his full name, in smooth cursive, placed right above the curve of her waist. Permanent ink. Real commitment. The kind of move that had "What were you thinking?" written all over it. And to make it even crazier? She had her best friend film the whole thing. A short video. A flash of soft skin. The sound of Duke's iconic phrase-"Boy ain't no way boy"-playing in the background. She laughed as they posted it to her Close Friends story on Instagram, tagging him for good measure. It was meant to be a bold, blurry memory. Instead, it went viral. When Duke himself saw the story and replied, Dymira Johnson didn't expect much. Maybe a laugh. Maybe a "you trippin." What she got was interest. Curiosity. Duke asking for another video. Then, asking to post it to his story. From there-it exploded. TikTok, Snapchat, Twitter, Discord-everyone had an opinion. Everyone wanted to know who the mystery girl with the Duke Dennis hip tat was. And for a moment, she was the moment. But then the messages stopped. No more replies. No follow-ups. A month passed. Silence. Until 2 a.m., after a party, buzzed off liquor and temptation, Dymira opened her DMs and hit send: "What you doing?" She didn't expect a reply. But Duke? He was up. And he remembered her. What started as a flirty, chaotic, one-night decision is about to turn into something far more complicated. Feelings start to bubble. Jealousy gets involved. And when two people with unresolved tension finally meet again in person-nothing is off-limits. He didn't ask to be stamped on her body. But now that he is-he doesn't want anyone else getting close.Complete

Hidden - P. Parker |Book I|
[CURRENTLY EDITING] [finished] Nova Carson. A sweet, talkative, outgoing 15-year-old girl with a heart of gold. Whenever she's told she's easy to read, almost like an open book, she bites down laughter, remembering everything she's kept locked away. She has her own secrets, ones that she can't mention to a single soul. Maybe it was because she was scared to be dissected like a frog, or because she was scared that she could use it to hurt others. She really never knew herself why she kept them away. And after meeting this boy...he made her feel special, even without knowing about her differences. He didn't care that she wasn't normal, that she was weirdly moody and eccentric and bubbly. He didn't care that she could be childish and mature all at once. Maybe she loved that a little too much. Peter Parker. A normal, nerdy 15-year-old kid with quite a few secrets on his own. His life was already hectic with high school, but now...this? And it doesn't quite help when a girl he'd seen around school but never talked to, begins to converse with him, making him tingle in ways that lit him up like the 4th of July. Both of them knew each other...but they didn't. Things were kept hidden from them, yet they were the only ones that knew. *WARNING: SLOW-BURN* *Book 1: Hidden - P. Parker Book 2: Lost - P.

I Might Need You
I swipe away a piece of hair falling in front of her face. I watch as she sleeps softly. She is all that matters to me now. She is every beat. Every breath. Every dream. Everything. You normally have those stories, where the good girl falls in love with the bad boy. He hurts her and breaks her heart multiple times. This is the complete opposite. Nova Dixon isn't someone to be friends with, and definitely not one to fall in love with. Dustin Clark breaks those rules, and decides that Nova is his new drug, his addiction. No matter how hard he tries to stay away, it isn't possible. He wants her. Needs her even. But she cant give him what he wants. **I know there seems to be a lot of chapters, but most of my chapters are 1000-2000 words. Only a few of them have more** 200,000-220,000 word countComplete
My Wish From The Universe || Jenna Ortega x Fem!Reader
I hadn't meant for it to happen. But intent didn't matter when the damage was already done. Emotions ran deep, tangled and unpredictable, and I was still fumbling to understand them. Everything felt too intense. Was this what I truly wanted? I feel like I had ripped something fragile straight from her chest and crushed it. Her words replayed, "You don't understand what it feels like to stand there and watch the person you care about let someone else take what should've been yours." I had wanted to make things easier for Jenna-to give her a reason to let me go. But instead, I had only made things more painful for both of us. Maybe this was my mistake. |Jenna Ortega x femreader| - I wanted to put both fantasy and romance as the category but can't :( Started: 11- 26- 2024 Ended: 02- 15- 2025 1k votes | 12-24-2025 Highest ranks: 🏆1- jennaortega #6 - universe #7 - femreader #7 - revengeComplete
