In a campus where every heartbeat echoes with competition, Franchesca found herself caught between passion and pressure. Being one of the most versatile volleyball players in Celestine Heights means focus, control, and discipline - and she's mastered all three. But when basketball captain Cyrus starts crossing paths with her more than usual, her once-steady rhythm begins to change.
At first, it was all playful glances from across the gym. A few teasing comments during joint practices. Then came the late-night chats, the soft brush of hands in the hallway, and the way their eyes always seemed to find each other - even in a crowd.
They knew it was dangerous. Inter-team relationships were allowed, yes, but everyone talked, and everyone watched. One slip could cost them their focus, their games, maybe even their reputations. But when something feels that real, how do you stop?
Love wasn't supposed to be part of their season. But somewhere between the games, the cheers, and the quiet moments no one else sees, they found something they couldn't ignore. Because sometimes, love doesn't wait for the right time - it simply moves.
And theirs was already in motion.

Lavender
"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. After competing with her since middle school, Elijah Rivera finally manages to beat her whole grade average by one. They can't stand each other (or so they think).

I Hate Football Players
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.

The playbook of Us
She was the girl everyone wanted to be - not because she tried, but because she didn't have to. Talia Reed was captain of the volleyball team, the kind of girl who laughed too loud, never cried in public, and played every game like her pride was on the line. She was confident, competitive, and had that effortless energy that made people orbit her - including Jace Carver, the school's golden quarterback with a scholarship already in sight. Their connection wasn't the cliché "good girl meets bad boy." It was two alphas colliding - playful banter, competitive tension, and chemistry they both pretended not to see. But when Talia finally confessed that she loved him before graduation, Jace crushed her with six words that changed everything: "You're amazing, Talia - but it's not you." Five years later, Talia's traded her jersey for a blazer. Now 24, she's one of the youngest sports managers at Silverline Management, a rising name known for keeping egos and scandals in check. She's engaged to a stable, steady man who never misses her games or makes her question her worth. Her life is in perfect order - until her boss assigns her a new high-profile client. NFL's newest star. The league's next big name. Jace Carver. He's older, sharper, and still ridiculously charming - but when he realizes the woman sent to manage his career is the same girl he pushed away, it's his turn to feel the loss. Now he's the one chasing. And she's the one who won't let him close. But Jace has a new playbook this time - and he's not afraid to lose everything if it means winning her back. What follows is a slow-burn second-chance story about love that never really left, about pride, regret, and the thin line between heartbreak and forever. By the time the final whistle blows, Talia will have to decide if the game is worth playing again - and Jace will have to prove that this time, he's all in.Complete
Game Changer (The White Coat Chronicles 4)
The White Coat Chronicles 4 "Where healing hands and restless hearts collide." I came here to win - on the court, in class, in every competition they'd throw at us. No distractions. No detours. No unnecessary feelings. Then he showed up. The boy who moved like he owned the game. Too confident. Too calm. Too good. A name I swore was just another obstacle on the scoreboard. But somehow, he kept showing up in the places I didn't expect - and in the moments I never meant to share. We weren't friends. We weren't rivals. And whatever this was, it wasn't part of the plan. But maybe the biggest game-changer isn't the match I trained for. Maybe it's the one I never saw coming.Complete
The Space in Between
*** New chapter every Thursday ! *** None of them meant to hurt each other. That's the part people forget about slow-burning disasters, they don't begin with betrayal. They begin with kindness. With glances held a second too long. With private jokes that start feeling more like confessions. With one moment that could have meant nothing, and instead, meant everything. They were four people who once shared everything: the same group chat, the same half-formed dreams, the same late nights on rooftops and in lecture halls, talking about who they might become. And then the lines blurred. Someone kissed someone they shouldn't have. Someone stayed silent when it mattered most. Someone joked instead of admitting what they felt. And someone kept everyone else emotionally afloat while quietly sinking. There was no fight. No scandal. Just a slow drift into emotional ambiguity, a friendship that eroded in glances, apologies, and timing that never aligned. Now, years later, they've been asked to build an art exhibit together. The theme? Memory. It's poetic, in a cruel way. They're supposed to create something honest while still pretending they've moved on. But the truth is still there, buried beneath words unsaid, under a kiss that shouldn't have happened, inside jokes that now sting, and a friendship that still aches. This isn't a love story. This is what came after. This is the space in between.

"Is that so? Well, you still lost today so now you owe me a favor." "What do you want?" Now I'm really starting to realize what I might have gotten myself into. There's no telling what she's going to make me do. She walks up to me leaving only a few inches between us. My heart starts pounding as I'm wondering what she's going to do. I can feel my cheeks warm. I can't actually be blushing right now. She looks down and all I can focus on is how blue her eyes are. "You think I'm going to use it so soon?" She smirks as she leans in closer to me and winks. Suddenly, she takes the ball out of my hands and starts shooting again. "I'm saving it for when I need it, so don't forget." When UConn finds itself short players, El reluctantly joins the team to help her sister.
Somebody's Problem (Auston Matthews fanfic)
Auston Matthews has everything he's ever wanted - captain of the Toronto Maple Leafs, one of the league's best players, one of the highest-paid athletes, and a face recognized everywhere he goes. He's charming, confident, and has a reputation for getting what he wants - on and off the ice. But when the team's new head coach arrives in Toronto with his daughter, Auston meets someone who doesn't give a damn about him, his fame, or his smile. Olivia Murphy. At twenty-six, Olivia is running three successful dance studios across New York, California, and now Toronto. Her life is packed - managing dancers, handling expansion plans, and keeping her brand thriving. She doesn't have time for distractions, especially not the kind that wear skates and think they own the world. Her last relationship with NHL defenseman Brandon Montour left her heart in pieces and her faith in men buried somewhere deep. He's married now - to the woman he cheated on her with - and Olivia has no intention of ever stepping back into that world again. She's 5'1" with long dark brown hair, sharp wit, and a presence that turns heads without trying. To most, she's beautiful and intimidating all at once. To Auston Matthews? She's a challenge - one he can't resist. But Olivia's walls are high, and she's learned that even the most confident man can fall when he's skating on thin emotional ice.

Awkward
- a featured story on wattpad @sport - a featured story on wattpad @generalfiction School has an odd way of making you hate it yet love the people you meet. I hate both. I've been the new boy at my school for nearly five months. Since my family's life of poverty was flipped on its head I've seen my entire world open up; it's like I was living in a cave. This time last year, I was 'too poor to have a Valentine'. This time this year, I just don't have the guts. Seriously, "Valentine's Day is the root of human anxiety." ~ Albert Einstein. (Don't look it up. I'm telling you what 'the government' doesn't want you to know.) But school has an odd way of giving you the perfect friends, a perfect love life and perfectly supporting your dreams to be a pro football player like your older brother. That, or it crushes you. It just crushes you. Your dreams? Crushed. Your friends? Meh. Your love life? Nonexistent (but as soon as it exists, CRUSHED). But we don't know what will happen for sure, right? I'm Roman Turner, but you can call me "the cool man". Gosh, I know I'll cringe at this later. ----------- - a featured story on wattpad @sport - a romance winner at the multi awards - a story told through two points of view • Romance/Sport/Slice of Life | Roman • Prose/Mystery/Psychological | Danielle • BOOK ONE: LIVING. • (EST.) 3390 words/part. • Cover artist - Sage Hieran.

Crashing Into YOU
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.
