Aisha Maive Clemente has always carried the weight of leadership on her shoulders. As the captain of their senior high school's volleyball team, she's known for her discipline, warmth, and quiet strength. Soft-hearted yet determined, Aisha is the kind of person who puts everyone else first, even when it breaks her. But behind her calm eyes lies the pressure of expectations, the fear of failure, and the silent battles no one sees.

Then there's Ruiecole Lozano - an academic achiever who prefers to stay behind the spotlight. He's the type who keeps his head down, focuses on grades, and avoids trouble. Shy, reserved, and thoughtful, Ruiecole finds comfort in silence, until Aisha's world collides with his.

When the captain who carries everyone's weight meets the achiever who hides behind his books, their quiet worlds begin to change. Between late-night talks, shared glances, and the struggles of chasing dreams, they'll learn that sometimes, strength isn't about how much you can carry-but who carries you when you finally fall.

A story of leadership, quiet courage, and finding someone who sees you even when you don't see yourself.

"He definitely wants to sleep with you," he taunts. "Excuse me?" I look at him weirdly, "What are you even talking about." "The way he touched your arm. That's what people do when they wanna fuck someone." He looks down at his paper and continues to sketch his patterns. I get an idea and scoot my chair closer to his. I lean forward and bring my lips up to his ear, very gently. "Well, that's what you do." He snaps his head towards me like he knows what I'm going to say next. "Do you wanna fuck me?" I whisper, making sure to look at him in awe. I hope it has an even better effect since our faces are closer. He opens his mouth to say something but hesitates. His eyes are everywhere but mine. When he finally catches my stare, he pushes my chair back to where it was before with his foot. "You are such a smart-ass. Would it hurt to swallow your ego for two seconds? Not everything's about you," he argues. "Maybe. I mean- I've swallowed worse," I shrug with a petty smile. *** Lavender Quinn has always struggled with her mental health but somehow managed to always stay at the top of her class... until her senior year.

Crashing Into YOU by its_kkash
15 parts Ongoing Mature
Brielle Stone (19) Freshman communications major at UCLA. A mix of chaos and charm. Streetwear, crop tops, hoodies, and heels. She works out religiously, the gym is her therapy, the one place she feels in control. Behind the confident smile and smoky eyeliner is a girl still learning how to breathe. Her parents have always decided everything for her : her grades, her friends, her image. The rebellion came late, but it came loud. Smoking. Parties. People she never texts back. Freedom is her quiet revenge. She wants to be a social media manager : something that's hers, something creative, something free. She's got confidence that fills a room; baggy cargos one day, tiny black dress the next. Hiphop playlists, lip gloss, and gym sessions are her therapy. She's not soft, not easy to impress, and not about to fall for a guy like Asher... or so she tells herself. Asher Kane (20) Second-year business major and UCLA's soccer star. He's the kind of guy who walks into a room and people notice, not because he tries, but because he just owns it. He's 6'1, athletic, with that casual designer look, chains, crisp shirts, and sneakers worth more than some cars. He vapes between classes, drinks to forget his father's expectations, and smokes when the pressure builds. Soccer is his escape, his one rebellion against the life planned for him: taking over the family's international business empire. Soccer is his life... until Brielle starts to mess with his focus in ways he didn't expect. Everyone thinks he's the confident, flirtatious bad boy. But he's just trying to hold himself together.
When Love Intervenes by JayRii26
26 parts Ongoing Mature
A'zaria Brooks is a focused, no-nonsense nursing student determined to graduate at the top of her class. Distractions like parties, gossip, and campus drama don't interest her-especially not Camron Banks, the football and basketball captain whose flashy reputation as a player precedes him everywhere he goes. When Camron suffers a career-threatening injury, A'zaria is assigned to his care as part of her clinical student aid training. Initially reluctant to get involved, she soon discovers a different side of him: beneath the confident exterior is a vulnerable young man struggling to find purpose off the field. Camron's parents, former athletes themselves, have always held him to sky-high standards-expecting nothing less than excellence and championship titles. His injury not only threatens his sports career but also strains his relationship with them, adding immense pressure to prove himself beyond the game. Surprisingly gentle and sincere, Camron volunteers for every rehab session and seeks A'zaria's help not just for his physical recovery but to keep his mind off the uncertainty of his future. As their friendship deepens, A'zaria starts to see past the headlines, and Camron begins to respect her passion and resilience. But when Camron's ex-girlfriend-who's still in love with him-starts stirring trouble, their growing bond faces challenges. A'zaria must decide if she's willing to risk her heart for a boy everyone thinks she can't have, and Camron must confront what it means to truly care for someone beyond the spotlight.

I Hate Football Players

61 parts Complete Mature

Football players are assholes. I know - my brother is their king. Older and annoyingly overprotective, he's the star quarterback at Santa Cruz High School. I love him, but everyone worships the air he breathes and it's suffocating. After a traumatic experience with a quarterback three years ago, I want nothing to do with boys and dating. All that matters is getting into college, so I ace my classes and sign up for my school's student ambassador program to boost my applications. Thankfully, I have my best friend, Harper, to get me through high school being overshadowed by my brother. My plans for a quiet, low-key senior year are destroyed when my brother's cocky, arrogant rival keeps butting into my life. Logan Hightower is a total player who expects me to drool at his feet while he uses me to burn my brother's game. If he thinks I'll fall for his gorgeous looks and shallow charms, he's totally mistaken. He'll never succeed because I hate football players. Note: Some of the chapters have mature content, as marked.
