Academic Rivals
She grew up in a world where being smart wasn't a choice, it was expected. Her family had big dreams for her, the kind that didn't leave room for mistakes. So she smiled, studied hard, and stayed on top. But deep down, she wanted something different. Something more her. And just when she thought she had it all under control, he showed up.

More Than A Game
Genevieve Aldridge has it all-money, looks, popularity, and the kind of rebellious charm that makes her the queen of the high school scene. Her life is perfect-or that's what they thought. She's bold, impulsive, and always chasing the next thrill. And when boredom hits, nothing's off-limits-not even a reckless little bet. Ethan Carter is everything she's not. Quiet. Brilliant. Mysterious. The kind of guy who keeps his head down, his grades high, and his heart locked up tight. While others are partying, he's planning his future-far away from high school drama and girls like Genevieve. So when she makes a bet to get the school's most untouchable nerd to fall for her, it's just another game... at first. But the more time she spends around Ethan-the more she sees beyond the books and sarcasm-the harder it becomes to remember where the act ends and something real begins. He wasn't supposed to matter. She wasn't supposed to feel anything. And love? That was never part of the plan. But some games have unexpected endings, right? ⸻ Just a heads-up: English isn't my first language, so there might be a few small mistakes here and there. Still, I hope you enjoy the story-and feel free to let me know if anything sounds off!
Don't Take It Personal
"I still never said it. And besides that, you're not listing the basics of the relationship. We need rules and agreements. When is it over?" "We'll have a deal," I told her. "You commit wholeheartedly to us being in a fake relationship, and I'll continue to tutor you." "That's great," She said impassively. "But when does this end?" She looked between us. "When I'm sitting at a hundred, or when you win your girlfriend back?" "I'm not necessarily saying I want her back," I said. "We're just doing this for the fun of it. I can't really put a timing on it." She was quiet a moment before impulsively agreeing. "Fine," She gave a shrug. "Although, I will have to say, I feel bad for you." "Why do you feel bad for me?" "I can't be your Juliet."Complete

Millie, a warm-hearted, outgoing, and free-spirited small-time singer, stood in stark contrast to Ethan, a composed and introverted Quantum Physicist known for his intellectual acumen. Despite their apparent disparities, a profound friendship blossomed between them. As fate would have it, they embodied the classic archetype of being the 'right person at the wrong time.' The question remains: are they destined for one another? Could they potentially be each other's end game? Will they uncover their elusive 'happily ever after,' if such a concept truly exists? The answers lie ahead, awaiting discovery within these pages.Complete
Between Love & Lies
Bria Smith's life collapsed the moment her father died. Her mother married her boss, and just like that, Bria was thrown into a life of privilege she never wanted-and a college she hadn't earned, courtesy of her new stepfather. She planned to keep her head down at Harvard Business University, but fate had other ideas... Elijah Park. Her step-uncle. Her professor. The man she's not allowed to want-but can't stop thinking about. He's older, sharper, dangerous in a way that feels like a warning and a promise all at once. And he sees right through her-her grief, her anger, her desire. One look and she's undone. One touch and she's his. This isn't just love. It's temptation, secrets, and a choice that could ruin them both. Because some lies keep you safe... and some loves are worth breaking every rule for. ~
