Mira Sanchez is days away from graduating high school, stuck between the safety of routine and the terrifying freedom of what's next. But when a mysterious figure leaves a cryptic note in her locker-one signed only by familiar handwriting-everything changes. The note leads her to a moonlit meeting under the bleachers with Jules, her best friend since freshman year, whose recent silences have spoken volumes. What follows is a tender unraveling of secrets, disguises, and long-hidden feelings that culminate in a love neither of them can deny.

As the seasons shift from winter uncertainty to sun-soaked college beginnings, Mira and Jules navigate the exhilarating and sometimes messy terrain of first love: whispered confessions, awkward family dinners, Neruda poems, and late-night takeout in a too-small rental house.

That Thursday is a quiet, luminous coming-of-age love story about trust, timing, and the kind of bond that feels both inevitable and brand new. For fans of heartfelt YA romance, this story reminds us that sometimes the biggest risks begin with a simple note-and the courage to show up.

The One That Got Away

22 parts Complete

Years have passed. She's a grandmother now widowed, weathered, but not bitter. While helping her clean the garage, her grandchildren stumble upon a shoebox filled with old letters, unlocking memories of a love that never quite faded. Back in 8th grade, at a private Christian academy where everything was supposed to be orderly, disciplined, and "right," She met Dani a loud, boyish, fearless girl who flipped her whole world upside down. What started as friendship bloomed into something deeper, something unspoken. But silence, fear, and timing would tear them apart. From shared snacks and hand-holding under desks to first heartbreaks and whispered letters, this is the story of a love that never got its chance, a love kept secret in the face of societal expectations, internal fears, and growing pains. As time moves on, people leave, come back, fall for others, and grow into who they are meant to be. But some feelings especially first love never truly vanish. Some names stay on your tongue long after you stop saying them. The One That Got Away is a poignant coming-of-age LGBTQ+ romance about young love, missed chances, and what it means to carry someone in your heart even when they no longer hold your hand.
