Malia thought love was supposed to hurt-that surviving Bryce's moods, his anger, and his constant need to control her was just part of being with someone. At eighteen, she's already learned how to shrink herself to keep the peace.

But when her best friend Dior pulls her into a pajama party with her loud, chaotic group of friends, Malia starts to see what she's been missing: Ruby's gossip, Joshua's sass, Dior's steady love-and Kylie. Kylie, with her green eyes, playful chaos, and warmth that makes Malia feel safe for the first time in forever.

When Bryce threatens to unravel what little stability Malia has left, she realizes something she's never dared to say out loud before: maybe she likes him better when he's gone.

Now, with Dior's support, Kylie's goofy tenderness, and a chosen family that won't let her fall apart, Malia has to decide if she's brave enough to let go of the boy who breaks her... and fall for the girl who makes her whole.All Rights Reserved

Can't fight these feelings by Inspiredbymya

Malia Baker is moving to La. New home. New people. New school. New life. Being the new girl is not easy. But then she sees Kylie Cantrall, shes very attractive and the most beautiful girl she's ever seen. But Malia knows better to get her hopes up, to her their complete opposites nothing in common, Kylie's well known and popular and Malia's in the shadows. But Kylies noticed her since she's walked in the door, stealing glances, learning information, and listening. Although Kylie gives off a tough and snarky exterior she's holds secrets that would never be talked about. The new girl is different, a type of difference she can't defeat no matter how hard she tries. Doing her best to hold in her true feelings when she know these are the type of feelings she can't fight away. Love is connection no one can understand or defeat. This is inspired by Creed(not fully just in some parts of the storyline) if you can tell you can tell. Creds to the queen @maliasw1fe on TikTok for making the pic of Kylie as a boxer. Y'all go follow her if you don't your missing out.

Enemies to Lovers - Kylia story by descendantsauthor

Kylie Cantrall and Malia Baker were once inseparable - childhood best friends with matching bracelets and late-night video calls that never ended in goodbyes. But everything changed the day Malia disappeared without a word. No texts. No explanations. Just silence. Two years later, Malia's back - colder, sharper, and with a mysterious edge that Kylie doesn't recognize... or trust. The betrayal still burns in Kylie's chest, and it doesn't help that Malia acts like she never cared in the first place. Tension sparks the moment they reunite. The hallway stares. The biting remarks. The undeniable chemistry. What neither of them wants to admit is that under the bitterness lies something unspoken. Something real. But with old wounds, buried secrets, and their tight-knit friend group caught in the crossfire, Kylie and Malia must decide: will they let the past define them, or risk everything for what might still be burning between them? Enemies by fate. Lovers by choice... if they can survive each other first.

Undeniable (kylia) by Just_Another_WriterG

Kylie and Malia are seventeen and in their final year of high school-a time that should be full of prom plans, college applications, and senior pranks. Instead, for them, it's the final chapter of a long-standing rivalry. Their moms are best friends and always dreamed their daughters would be just as close. Unfortunately, Kylie and Malia have spent their whole lives proving them wrong. Kylie, the town's golden girl, is a wildly popular influencer-but not the kind that lets fame go to her head. She's genuine, funny, and deeply rooted in her hometown, using her platform to lift others up rather than tear them down. Despite her online success, she's just a regular teenager with a tight-knit group of friends: Ruby, Josh, Jadah, Kiara, and Peder. Malia, on the other hand, is queen bee of the cheer squad. She's beautiful, sharp-tongued, and completely used to getting what she wants. To most, she's untouchable-just not in a good way. Her inner circle-Momona, McKenna, and Dior-rules the halls with ruthless confidence. Everyone knows Kylie and Malia despise each other. The tension is infamous. Their friends feud by default. The only truce is Dior and Jadah's unexpected relationship, which just adds more fuel to the fire. But as senior year drags on, something shifts. A brush of the hand. A glance that lasts too long. An insult that lands a little too soft. Kylie and Malia start catching themselves noticing each other for the wrong reasons-or maybe the right ones. Neither of them wants to admit it. Pride and years of hostility get in the way. Their friends would never let them live it down. Still, something keeps pulling them together. And when the masks finally slip, when the pretending gets too heavy to carry, Kylie and Malia are left facing a truth they've spent years avoiding: maybe they never really hated each other. Maybe they just didn't know how to want each other out loud.

The vamps (kylia) by glassheartsmb

Malia Baker thought junior year would be chill-hang out with her best friend, pass chemistry, avoid drama. That is, until Kylie Cantrall, Ruby Rose Turner, and Joshua Colley show up out of nowhere. Mysterious, pale, too perfect for real life... and always together. Everyone at school calls them "the Vamps." Malia just calls them suspicious. Especially Kylie-quiet, magnetic, and suddenly interested in Malia in a way that feels... deliberate. What Malia doesn't know? Kylie, Ruby, and Josh aren't just here for school. They're on a mission: choose three humans to turn into vampires before the year ends-or disappear again. It was supposed to be simple. Pick. Befriend. Turn. No feelings. No attachments. But Malia isn't like the others. And Kylie's starting to forget the rules.

Halfway to Almost by battlingdancer

Malia Baker has always believed life makes sense when it follows an equation - study hard, keep your head down, and survive high school one physics problem at a time. But her logic doesn't account for Kylie Cantrall - captain of the girls' basketball team, effortlessly cool, and completely out of her league. Kylie's used to being the confident one - the face everyone recognizes, the girl who always has it together. Until she catches herself thinking about the quiet, sharp-eyed nerd from her English class. The one with the messy notes, nervous smile, and the kind of curiosity that makes Kylie want to know everything about her. When a tutoring session turns into something more, both girls find themselves pulled into an unexpected orbit - one that's equal parts awkward, electric, and terrifyingly real. But in a school where reputations rule, can two girls from opposite ends of the social spectrum figure out how to be honest about what they feel - and who they're becoming?

A Quiet Obsession by choni7779

Kylie has everything-wealth, beauty, and a reputation as the most popular girl in school. On the surface, her life is perfect. But behind the designer clothes and flawless smile lies a chilling secret: she's hiding a dangerous obsession. Enter Malia-the quiet, introverted new girl who wants nothing more than to stay out of the spotlight. She's everything Kylie isn't... and everything Kylie can't stop thinking about. They hate each other. At least, that's what everyone thinks. What begins as petty insults and icy stares soon spirals into a toxic game of cat and mouse. Kylie doesn't just want to win-she wants control. Of Malia's time, her thoughts... maybe even her life. As the tension between them grows, so does the danger. And when obsession turns deadly. **Rivals. Secrets. Obsession.** This is partially based on the show "you" with a twist. G!P-kylie
