NOVA DELANE
School is fine. The homework's boring, the people are weird, and I can handle almost anything - except Arlo Cruz. His stupid smirks, stupid glasses and his stupid grades annoy the life out of me without even making a sound. He's good at everything, barely talks to anyone, and looks at me like I'm background noise. I'm convinced he hates me. Which is fine. I hate him too. Probably.
ARLO CRUZ
Good grades, a fluffy cat, an active lifestyle - I can't really complain. Even my idiotic friends have grown on me. But Nova Delane? She's different. Shiny hair, oversized glasses, that unfunny humor she thinks nobody notices - she drives me insane. Not because I hate her. Because I don't. Because no matter how hard I try, my eyes keep finding hers first.

You Are the Shell to My Tortoise | ✓
Nolan, an unapproachable guy who ignores the existence of all his schoolmates, sleeps in all of his classes. Normally, this wouldn't be Chelsea Arnold's problem-she does her best to pay attention in class and attends gym like a good, normal student. Unfortunately, she just so happens to be his assigned desk partner in many classes. She's frequently forced to wake him in English class and ends up earning the unofficial title of Nolan's Wake-up Alarm-a title that nobody in the entire school covets. The last thing she wants is to interact with him more than she absolutely has to. One day, their gym teacher sends her to bring him back to class, which he always skips for some reason. When she accidentally shines her flashlight in his sleeping face, it triggers a chain of events that gradually intertwines their lives together. It's hard to be a normal student when you start befriending the school oddball. It doesn't help that he has more secrets than the Big Ben has stairs. ----- Complete.

"Through the Cracks
Valeria Cruz-Montenegro is Monarch U's golden girl. Wealthy, witty, and wrapped in designer labels, she has it all-beauty, influence, and boys lined up like waitlists. She doesn't do relationships, only reputations. And hers? Untouchable. Then there's Elian Ward. Quiet. Brilliant. Cocky in the most understated way. He's the one professors love, classmates fear in debates, and girls fantasize about-until he turns them down. He's not into parties. Not into drama. And definitely not into Valeria. Which makes her want him more. When they're forced to work together on an exclusive thesis mentorship program, sparks fly-but not the romantic kind. She pushes. He pushes back harder. She flirts. He challenges. She's all charm and champagne; he's hoodies and unreadable glances. But under his calm, he's chaos-and she knows it. The tension builds fast. One heated argument in the library turns into a kiss she can't stop thinking about. One study session turns into her in his lap, pretending she doesn't care. He's the only guy who doesn't fall for her act. And she might be the only girl who could undo his perfectly guarded world.Terminé

Then And Now
Savannah Mars was always considered as the school nerd. With her thick rimmed glasses, dark hair and plain clothes, she would often go unnoticed. But after a failed confession to her high school crush, school jock Nathan Court, Savannah then became the school's favorite punching bag. Now several years later, she once again comes face to face with Nathan, except now he's her boss. Nathan has not forgotten Nerdy Savannah, and yet now instead of wanting to intimidate her, he wants nothing more than to dominate the now confident, beautiful, mature secretary. Stuck in a contracted clerical position for a whole year, Savannah must once again survive the emotional turmoil brought about by her boss and old bully, who is once again hell bent on making her submit to him. But this time, there is more on the line. Her heart. _________________________________________ Sneak Peek: "Had I known that I'd be working for you, I would've never accepted the position." Savannah admitted with a fire in her eyes. "Why?" Nathan said with a condescending scowl, "you hate me?" "No, Hate is a strong word." Savannah replied, then her mouth soured and her eyes hardened, "but it's not strong enough. I despise you." "Way to hold a grudge." Nathan commented, then he added, "but you might want to slow down on the hatred, you still have 360 days left in your contract." "And I'll spend every single one of them despising you." Savannah promised. She turned sharply and aimed to open the door. Nathan's large hand suddenly pushed the wooden passageway closed. Savannah released a huff but didn't face Nathan again. "I don't appreciate being threatened Ms. Mars, and if you remember the old days, cross that line and there will be a price to pay."Terminé
