"Tangled relationships, one summer reunion and a heart that never healed" Vellia had it all once - the boy who made her believe in forever. But when Ethan left without reason, he took a piece of her with him. Just when she thought she was healing, she found herself in the arms of another - Alan, the safe choice. But love built on guilt was never meant to last. Then came Jaxon. The one she never saw coming. Her childhood friend, neighbour and the boy she ignored when he looked at her like she was everything. Now, with one summer bringing them all back, secrets unravel. Regret lingers. And hearts remember what they tried to forget. Some love stories are meant to end. Others never got the chance to bloom. A slowburn, emotionally tangled story of first love, lost chances, and the one boy who could've been everything - if only she'd noticed him sooner.

Ribbons, Rumors, and Her ✔
Bullied and bruised, Adam Winters has survived high school by keeping his head down. Those bothered by his quiet, eccentric nature? They are the 'pretty' ones. The ones with comfortable backgrounds. The ones at the top. When an attractive transfer becomes his seat neighbour for the rest of the semester, Adam is naturally wary - partly because of her brawny sibling in senior year, and partly because she checks every box on his list of people to avoid: pretty, rich, and popular. With an angelic smile, twinkling sapphire eyes and ribbons in her golden hair, her persona screams perfection. A level he won't be able to achieve even in his quirkiest of daydreams - not like he'd ever want to. After all, despite her odd choice of friends, her playful teasing, and her persistent efforts to win his trust, isn't she just another heartless bully? ••• [@TheAmbys 2025 Favorites (Top Pick)] Featured on: @humor - DiverseLit Humor (Sept 2025) @Ambassadors - Slice Of Life (Sept 2025) @humor - Ambassador's Monthly Pick (Oct 2025)
