It starts with an interview. Ends with fake dating, shared toothpaste, and possibly falling in love.
Ella never planned to crash into Erik Wick, literal hockey star and walking chaos in a backwards cap. But when her cousin needs a last-minute favor, she steps in for an interview - and somehow ends up face-to-face with a charming, too-hot-for-his-own-good athlete who immediately decides she's fascinating.
She thinks it'll be a one-time thing.
Until she keeps running into him - at the hockey rink where she picks up the kid she babysits, at her college party on a boat, and eventually... in her own kitchen.
Because after one too many drinks and a full emotional breakdown about her life (psychology deadlines, nowhere to live, and an impossible class project), Erik offers her a solution that sounds completely insane:
Fake date him. Move in. Use him for her psych research.
In return, he gets to keep pretending he's taken - a lie he told months ago that's starting to unravel.
Erik is spontaneous, loud, and disarmingly sweet. He likes cats, knows exactly when she needs a distraction, and doesn't stop pushing until she calls him on his BS - even if she looks terrified after.
Ella is quiet, cautious, and barely holding it together. She bakes when she's overwhelmed, overthinks every word, and never expected the most chaotic person she's ever met to feel like her safest place.
They promised no feelings. Just three months of pretending. But some lies feel a lot like the truth... and some people are impossible to unlove - even when they were never supposed to be yours.

Rules to Feeling Lonely
Alone. A simple word that has always held many meanings to Ella, and starting her senior year at a new high school, solitude had seemed the easiest way to go. A week passed, bland and unnoticed, before her plans quickly get thrown overboard. Losing one of her most priced possessions, she finds herself making a rather simple deal with someone from school. His name, for her book. There's only one little problem; she has no idea who this person is. Laughs and tears, friends and heartbreak, and the past that comes knocking on the door. Ella faces it all as she takes on the search to find her secret admirer. ___________________ "I can't believe him after the texts, the letter, the flowers. All these months and he just tells me 'we'll talk later'", I told him, feeling absolutely frustrated. I am so damn stupid, thinking this was gonna be something special or whatever. "It isn't him", he suddenly spoke and I just rolled my eyes. He doesn't even know what he's talking about, the imbisile. "It is, you don't even know what you're talking about so shut up", I cried out, walking forth and back for the hundredth time. "Listen, I do and it isn't him", he yelled this time and I stopped walking, angrily turning to him. Can he stop just pissing me off even more? "Oh yeah? And how are you so sure?" "Because it's me"Complete
Maybe
An internal voice whispered, "Call him." But I chose not to. I dismissed it once more, saying, "He never liked me anyway." Yet the dilemma lingered. "But maybe he does. The way he looks at you... it's different." Out of nowhere, he glanced my way. My heartbeat quickened, sending shivers down my spine. I averted my gaze, pretending to look around. "Has he noticed me? No, wait-oh my god." --- After switching high schools, Nina discovered a new way of life. She fell in love, made wonderful friends, and everything seemed perfect. But Ethan-a popular boy who never focused on anyone but her-was the object of her hatred. He was always there, always keeping her safe. He used to annoy her endlessly. She hated him deeply. Until she didn't. For a while, she was content with her high school experience. That is, until something mysterious turned her world upside down. Forced to move to a new city, Nina had to cut ties with everyone she once knew. Eight years later, fate brings her face-to-face with him again. "Ethan..." He's the key to everything-the truths she never knew. When she was lost in the dark, he always held the light. But now, things are different. She despises him. He's colder than ever. Or perhaps she fears him. Fears that he'll leave her again. Will their lives ever return to normal after everything they've endured? "Maybe?" "Maybe yes. Maybe no?" --- Started: 8 November 2021 Ended: 19 December 2022 Rewritten: December 2024 --- ### Rankings Goals So Far: #1 Adolescente #1 given up #1 blinddates #1 pretend #10 twistedromance #50 high school romance --- ### Notice: This is my first published story, and it contains numerous grammatical errors and bad editing.

Drunk Goal (Larry Stylinson)
A full-on smirk returns to Harry's lips. "Now we're talking. Long story or short?" "Short." "I need you to pretend to be my boyfriend for preferably six months." Well, that was a short story indeed. - Louis hates hockey. If there is one thing this man loves more than his bartending job, it would be Harry Styles. That is how he finds himself in Sheffield during the IIHF World Championship season, not listening to his best friend, Zayn, who keeps telling him that Harry Styles, one of the most famous hockey players ever, is not the man for him. But what if the night Harry walks into Louis's beer-stained bar leads to more than just a one-night stand? - Contains themes some readers might find difficult.

Before She Even Knows
''There is only one thing crossing my mind right now. If he hates me so much, then why the hell is he kissing me back?'' ----------------------- Emma White has always been kind of a loner. Her mother died giving birth to her and her father never really cared, always working in his successful company. That's why she decides to go to a college away from home, something she's been dreaming of since she can remember. However, what happens when at her very first day on campus, she crosses path with Noah Allen? He is rich, popular, cold, rude and a player just to start with. No surprise she calls him Mr. Grumpy. What is driving her insane though is that he's only too cold when it comes to her. After some not so pleasant moments and lots of glares, she tells herself that the best is to stay away from him, but it won't be that easy. After a disastrous kiss and hidden jealousy, she finds herself deeply involved into what is this frustrating boy. Add to that the fact that he is her roommates' childhood best friend and you can see drama from miles away. Noah claims to hate her ever since they met, and he doesn't mean her first day of college. He remembers her just fine from a couple of years ago and all the feelings are back. He knows she doesn't remember him and he'll use this as his leverage to do what he has to do. It's what he promised his father and himself, even if it means he has to pretend to care for her. All he cares is his family business. At least it's what he tells himself, until the feelings start getting too mixed and he ends up thinking of her more than he should. Maybe it's not all about business after all. He knows their history started before she even knows, what he didn't expect was for her to be so different from what he has always believed.Complete
More Than This
DARCY When Darcy packed her life into two suitcases and left Australia for college in the U.S., she thought she knew what to expect-long lectures, late-night study sessions, and a constant ache for the family and home she left behind. What she didn't expect was how lonely it would feel trying to fit into a world that doesn't quite feel like hers. Nursing school is demanding, and most days she's just trying to keep her head above water. But slowly, she begins to carve out a place for herself: a group of friends who make her laugh, nights filled with cheap pizza and endless chatter, and the quiet, unshakable hope that maybe she belongs here after all. She isn't looking for love. Not yet. But sometimes love has a way of finding you in the most unexpected places-across a crowded campus, under the lights of a late-night party, or in the steady gaze of someone who sees you for exactly who you are. LANCE College was supposed to be simple for me-train hard, play harder, keep my head down, and focus on the future. Soccer has always been my anchor, the one thing that makes sense when everything else feels too loud. I've got teammates, a busy schedule, and more attention than I know what to do with. On paper, it looks perfect. But sometimes perfect feels empty. The parties, the casual flings, the noise-it all blurs together, and I can't help wondering if there's more to life than being "that guy" everyone expects me to be. And then I see her. Not in the way you notice someone across a room because they're trying to be noticed. She's quieter, almost guarded, like she's still finding her footing here. There's something in the way she carries herself, something that makes me want to know her story. I wasn't looking for anything real. But maybe real has a way of finding you-when you least expect it.
Fading Boundaries Again
Olivia Wren grew up in a strict household-the kind with rules for everything: when to go to bed, where she could be, and constant location tracking the second she left the house. Most teenagers would've rebelled. But not Liv. She followed every rule down to the last letter. So when she got to college, it made sense that she'd use her freedom to the fullest. Parties, late nights, no one watching her every move. For a while, it felt like everything she'd missed out on. But after two years, the freedom starts to lose its shine. With nothing solid to fall back on, Liv lets herself go. It takes hitting a low point to realize that the girl she's become isn't who she wants to be anymore. Then there's Jace Rylan Camden. The kind of guy Liv's sworn off. He shows up to class drunk on the first day-not exactly the best first impression. He's an athlete, lives in a frat house, and hangs out with his loud group of friends. Basically, everything Liv's tried to leave behind. But when casual class interactions turn into seeing each other outside of it, Liv starts to question whether she's really moved on-or if Jace might be different from what she thought. Especially when the two stumble into a fake relationship- kind of will be hard to keep away from each other this way huh?Complete
