For you to believe and trust me, you'd have to set your pride aside-if you're even capable of that.
After years of struggling, juggling two jobs, and scraping together every cent, Atlas finally made it into his dream college. Living at home isn't an option-it's far too expensive-so he's taking a gamble and renting a dorm room with a complete stranger. Risky? Absolutely. But what choice does he have? Please, he thinks, let them not be a total weirdo.

I used to a lot more, but, the downfalls seem a lot less daunting now that I have someone to free-fall with," I replied, and I looked up to see him smile a little at that, "We're just dancing in the rain these days.. there's no need to be afraid of the inevitable clouds that are gonna pop up." • • • College.

He is drunk. He is a man-whore. He is seeing someone else. And he just... kissed me. So, I pull away just enough to look up at him, my expression somewhere between turned-on bewilderment and plain disgust at myself, him, the situation. And I slap him. ────˖°⊹🏈⊹ ࣪ ˖──── 𝘔𝘪𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘦 "𝘊𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘦" 𝘊𝘭𝘢𝘳𝘬 has spent the last two years building a name for herself in her university's theatre program - quietly, relentlessly, and without distractions. She's disciplined, sharp, and determined to make her dream career a reality. She doesn't party, doesn't date, and definitely doesn't have time for cocky football players who think showing up late with a smirk is charm. Enter 𝘈𝘵𝘭𝘢𝘴 𝘕𝘦𝘭𝘴𝘰𝘯 - athletic golden boy, campus heartthrob, and a walking PR nightmare. When a failing grade and too many suspension-worthy party photos land him on academic probation, his coach throws down the gauntlet: audition for the spring production of "The Rainmaker", or lose his football scholarship. To everyone's shock, including his own, Atlas lands the male lead opposite Chellie. Now forced to play lovers onstage, Chellie and Atlas are thrown into late-night rehearsals and kiss choreography that feels too real. She thinks he's all ego and no discipline. He thinks she's uptight, cold, and a little too obsessed with control. But every line they rehearse chips away at their defenses. And the closer they get under stage lights, the more blurred the lines become. She's spent her whole life planning for the future. He's spent his avoiding anything that hurts. But something is happening between them - something raw and volatile, magnetic and deeply inconvenient. And when the script demands vulnerability, desire, and trust, it's not just the characters that start falling.![The Halls of Westwood [BxB]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/259797507-256-k547386.jpg)
The Halls of Westwood [BxB]
Westwood Asylum: A school for fucked up boys Each boy is there for a reason. Everyone has a story, a past, somebody from their past. Maybe in the real world, they wouldn't have been friends.

And who knows, maybe become a bit more than friends along the way.Complete

Mr. Match (BoyxBoy) ✓
I'm Finn Vasco but that's not quite important right now. I'm a pretty sarcastic guy if I'm gonna be honest. I'm closed off and I literally only have one friend. I might hate everybody in my school... but there's this guy there. He's... let's say, dreamy, someone who I thought would never even acknowledge my existence. That guy who was too damn good to be true, who was too good for me, who was too good for... everybody! You get what I'm trying to say. He's that cliché king of the campus and a popular and attractive heartthrob and with just one wink, he can send people on their knees... That sounded so wrong, anyway. So can you blame me for being over the moon when one day, he approached me only to what? ...To ask for my help courting my freaking best friend. I knew it was stupid for me to hope I'd even have any chance with him anyway. So I just agreed to help him. Even if I was hurting myself and potentially my best friend in the process, my best friend who has been there with me through the thick and thins, I still did it... I mean what could go wrong besides literally everything? So my plan was to just set my crush and my best friend up, and then everything would be alright... right? But of course, life doesn't like it when people have it easy. *** Highest Ranking #2 on #lgbtfiction #5 on #boyxboy #6 on #gay #8 on #teenfiction *** ~ WARNING: This story contains strong language and bullying.

The Roommate Equation
Opposites don't just attract... they collide. River thought college would be simple: study hard, keep his head down, and survive Engineering at the University of Santo Tomas. No distractions, no nonsense. Then came Kai-his unpredictable, endlessly talkative dorm roommate who managed to turn every moment into a joke. They were supposed to be complete opposites: River, serious and cold. Kai, carefree and chaotic. But between late-night study sessions, shared instant noodles, and the chaos of dorm life, the equation changes. What happens when two "straight" freshmen start to feel something neither of them expected? Because some problems can't be solved with math. Sometimes, you just have to figure out the Roommate Equation.
