She's quiet. She's strange. She's in love with her best friend.
Seventeen-year-old Olive Harper has always been a background character in her own life-curly-haired, soft-spoken, and quietly existing in the shadows of high school. Her only real anchor is Dahlia Leclair: beautiful, magnetic, and effortlessly adored by everyone. Somehow, despite their differences, they've been best friends for years.
But as junior year begins, Olive feels the distance growing-Dahlia's caught in a whirlwind of parties, popularity, and people who can't even remember Olive's name. Worse still, Olive's spent the summer trying to ignore the truth she can't outrun: she's falling in love with Dahlia, and Dahlia... is very, very straight.
When Olive reaches her breaking point after a cruel hallway encounter, everything she's buried threatens to spill out. Caught between wanting more and fearing she'll lose the only person who truly sees her, Olive must navigate friendship, identity, and the painful question: what happens when the person you love can't love you back?
A tender, bittersweet coming-of-age story about unspoken love, growing apart, and the fragile threads that hold us together.

Love Me Like We Used To
They were inseparable - until they weren't. Now, they barely speak. Eighteen-year-old Amaria and Elias were childhood best friends. Late-night calls, secret handshakes, inside jokes - they knew each other better than anyone else. That is, until something happened in Year 13 that tore them apart. Whispers. Betrayal. Silence. Amaria is stepping into her first year of university-Year 14-with high hopes, a fresh start, and her best friend Zara by her side. She's ready to focus on her degree, leave the drama of secondary school behind, and grow into herself. But the past isn't done with her yet. Elias, the boy she ghosted after an emotional confession at the end of Year 13, is not only attending the same university-but he's in the same seminar group. What starts as stolen glances and awkward silences quickly reignites into tension, confusion, and the kind of chemistry that never really disappeared. Elias's older brother, Noah, is also on campus-more grounded and protective, offering occasional advice and support, especially when things between Elias and Amaria get messy. As Amaria balances her coursework, complicated emotions, and the realities of adulting, she's forced to reckon with the pain she left behind-and decide whether she's brave enough to stop running from it. Amaria's still guarded, still bruised by everything he didn't say back then. Elias? He acts like nothing happened, but there's guilt hiding behind his easy smile and that same look in his eyes whenever he's near her.
