Meet Me After Class by LeighFrankie

So who will it be for this hopelessly unromantic girl? The brooding best friend? Or the young and unquestionably attractive substitute teacher? They say every person is worth the potential heartbreak of relationships not working out. That's why people still take that leap. But not me. Never been kissed, never had a boyfriend-I was pretty convinced by now that I was one of those mega-rare exceptions to the rule; the unlucky sap was just not worth the risk. And I'm totally fine with that. Romance and heartbreak? Not worth the hype in my book. Until life decided to get all snarky on me. "Fooled you, idiot! You'll get your love story...just not at all how you wanted it." Before I know it, I'm swept up in romantic turmoil more dramatic than anything my wildest playwright fantasies could dream up. Getting these very real, very adult feelings for the first time is bloomin' confusing. Lines will blur, tough choices will be made, and hearts will be deliciously broken. So who will it be for this once-hopelessly unromantic girl? My brooding best friend? Or my young substitute teacher?

Betting on Trouble by Eleanor_Y

Olivia Chen has spent three years building her reputation as the perfect student council candidate at Westridge University-disciplined, dedicated, and determined to win. But when cocky business major Ethan Brooks throws his name into the race with nothing but charm and a reckless grin, she knows he's just another obstacle to overcome. After a heated public debate goes viral, the university administration forces them into an impossible situation: work together on the Fall Festival committee or forfeit their campaigns. What starts as bitter cooperation turns into a dangerous game when a drunken bet leads to a fake dating scheme designed to boost both their images. The rules are simple-no real feelings, no crossing lines. But some rules are made to be broken. As late-night planning sessions turn into stolen glances and staged kisses start feeling too real, Olivia realizes she's falling for the one person she swore to beat. But when secrets from Ethan's past threaten to destroy everything they've built, she'll have to decide: is winning the election worth losing the person who's made her feel truly alive?

The Invisible Tide (Rewritten) by ViviDreams

Aria Morales is a girl of secrets. At school, she's invisible by choice-quiet, guarded, and perfectly forgettable. After hours, she's a vlogger with a secret side no one knows. And underneath it all? She's something more: a mermaid with elemental powers tied to her emotions-and one mistake away from being exposed. She's spent years keeping those versions of herself separate. But when a class project forces her to work with Jack Carter-the school's golden quarterback with a reputation for breaking hearts-everything starts to slip. One accidental touch. One water spill. One breath too deep. And suddenly, Aria's carefully controlled world is threatening to unravel. Staying invisible was the plan. But the more time she spends around Jack, the harder it gets to hide who she really is. One project. One secret. And a boy who could ruin everything without even trying. ᴄᴏᴘʏʀɪɢʜᴛ © 2025 ʙʏ ᴠɪᴠɪ ᴀʟʟ ʀɪɢʜᴛꜱ ʀᴇꜱᴇʀᴠᴇᴅ. ᴛʜɪꜱ ʙᴏᴏᴋ ᴏʀ ᴀɴʏ ᴘᴏʀᴛɪᴏɴ ᴛʜᴇʀᴇᴏꜰ ᴍᴀʏ ɴᴏᴛ ʙᴇ ʀᴇᴘʀᴏᴅᴜᴄᴇᴅ ᴏʀ ᴜꜱᴇᴅ ɪɴ ᴀɴʏ ᴍᴀɴɴᴇʀ ᴡʜᴀᴛꜱᴏᴇᴠᴇʀ ᴡɪᴛʜᴏᴜᴛ ᴛʜᴇ ᴇxᴘʀᴇꜱꜱ ᴡʀɪᴛᴛᴇɴ ᴘᴇʀᴍɪꜱꜱɪᴏɴ ᴏꜰ ᴛʜᴇ ᴡʀɪᴛᴇʀ ᴇxᴄᴇᴘᴛ ꜰᴏʀ ᴛʜᴇ ᴜꜱᴇ ᴏꜰ ʙʀɪᴇꜰ Qᴜᴏᴛᴀᴛɪᴏɴꜱ ɪɴ ᴀ ʙᴏᴏᴋ ʀᴇᴠɪᴇᴡ. © ᴀʟʟ ʀɪɢʜᴛꜱ ʀᴇꜱᴇʀᴠᴇᴅ.

Across the Boundaries by Novara08

"She was invisible. He was untouchable. But love doesn't follow rules." Ella Malik has always lived in the background - quiet, cautious, and nearly invisible. In a world of luxury cars, perfect reputations, and private parties, she knows the rules: stay out of sight, stay out of trouble, and never fall for someone out of reach. William Ashford breaks every rule. Cold. Brilliant. Untouchable. He's rich enough to have everything - and guarded enough to feel nothing. Until Ella. What starts as a reluctant academic partnership slowly turns into something neither of them can explain - or ignore. She challenges his silence. He softens her edges. And beneath casual moments and stolen glances, something raw and real begins to spark. It's not just comfort. Not just attraction. It's the kind of love that refuses to stay quiet - fierce, fragile, and all-consuming. He sees her when no one else does. She reaches places in him no one's ever touched. And even if they come from two different worlds, their hearts speak the same language.
