At Loyola International High School, privilege is everything - and those without it are invisible.
Mara Daniels, a scholarship student from the wrong side of San Diego, enters a world of luxury cars, designer uniforms, and unspoken hierarchies. Her quiet resilience catches the reluctant attention of Alex Vale - the golden boy of Loyola, adored by everyone and untouched by consequence.
But as their worlds begin to collide, Alex discovers that the perfection surrounding him is nothing more than a fragile illusion. And in the quiet defiance of the girl he was taught to ignore, he starts to question the meaning of everything he's ever known.
A story of class, cruelty, and connection - Gilded Walls explores what happens when two lives built on opposite sides of privilege begin to unravel each other.All Rights Reserved

This is Where we Fall by Calyp50

They thought junior year would be easier - the calm after the storm. After everything they'd been through, the group from Adventure Bay High was finally finding their rhythm again. But sometimes the cracks you can't see are the ones that hurt the most. When a new student arrives, everything changes. He smiles easily, says all the right things, but behind his charm is something fragile, something broken - and before anyone can see the signs, their world collapses in a single, unimaginable moment. Now the halls are silent. The laughter that once filled them is gone, replaced by whispers and empty desks. Chase tries to keep everyone together, Skye refuses to talk about what she saw, Rocky hides his pain behind anger, and Ella keeps searching for a way to make sense of the chaos. They all survived that day - but surviving is not the same as living. In the aftermath, friendships fracture, guilt festers, and grief takes on a life of its own. But even in the darkest corners of Adventure Bay High, there are flickers of light - the quiet promise that healing, though impossible at first, might still be within reach. Because sometimes falling apart is the only way to learn how to stand again.

The King's Toy by AriaChanel9

At River Stone Academy, the rich rule-and Destiny Redwood is nothing but a target. She's poor, alone, and fighting to survive the elite halls where whispers sting worse than fists, and where the king of the school, Alex Blair, makes her life a living nightmare. He's everything she hates: cruel, beautiful, untouchable. With grey eyes like ice and a smile that cuts deeper than any blade, Alex takes what he wants, and right now, what he wants is her suffering. But Destiny isn't just another girl to break. Behind the bruises and silence, she's fire waiting to burn, a heart that won't give up no matter how many times it's shattered. And as the games between them turn darker, the lines between hate and something dangerously close to obsession begin to blur. Because Alex doesn't know how to let go. And Destiny doesn't know if she wants him to. --- In a world of secrets, power, and cruelty, will Destiny find love, or will she remain a victim in a game she never asked to play?

And her voice became the only thing that made the silence bearable. This isn't a love story. Not at first. This is a story about a boy who lost his spark... And the girl who wouldn't let him disappear quietly. ✅ Nicolas ✅ Lina ✅ "You Talk Too Much" ✅ High school setting ✅ Healing + chaos + slow-burn (Btw I forgot to add that there will be no smut of any kind in this story. Maybe an innocent kiss or something but nothing else)

Mortal Vengeance: A Grim Tale (Prequel to Mortal Vengeance) by aletorro

In eighteen months, a masked killer will stalk the marble halls of Excelsior Academy, a prestigious Jesuit school reserved for the children of the Dominican elite. Students, faculty-even families-are fair game. Mortal Vengeance is a slasher/thriller with whodunnit elements. Mortal Vengeance: A Grim Tale is the howdunnit. This stand-alone psychological thriller expands the Mortal Vengeance universe by exposing the institutional rot that makes the killings inevitable. It traces the origin of the Grim Cojuelo-the limping devil of Dominican folklore-reimagined as a hunter of guilt: the guilt of abusers, the guilt of victims, and the most dangerous guilt of all-the guilt of those who stayed silent. And Julián knows guilt. A scholarship student at Excelsior, Julián carries it everywhere: guilt for being taught he was born a sinner, guilt for watching his parents sacrifice everything for his education, and guilt for a terrible secret he has buried to survive. At Excelsior, mercy is not on the syllabus. Teachers rule through cruelty and fear, shielded by religious authority and a single commandment: We do what God tells us. So obey. His only refuge is Lucía, his best friend since elementary school-brilliant, fearless, and unafraid to say what Julián cannot. She is his anchor in a system designed to break him. Then comes Fernando Pepino, a volatile upperclassman whose protection blurs into something far more dangerous: desire. When a school art contest-Bring the Grim Cojuelo to Life-draws Julián into the legend, folklore, myth, and trauma bleed together. Is something supernatural stirring beneath Excelsior's foundations? Or is guilt finally clawing its way into reality? The Grim Cojuelo is awakening. And this time, it wants Julián.
