Walden Academy isn't just a boarding school, it's the boarding school. The school where the children of politicians, philanthropists, and socialites ensure the continuation of a filthy rich bloodline.
Vivienne Fawn Browne is the daughter of the world renowned surgeon Oscar Browne and the famous designer Meredith Browne. She's been attending Walden schools all of her life, and unlike her esteemed parents, her conversational skills are subpar.
Leo Van Damme is the heir to the luxury Van Damme Hotels, and the prince of Walden Academy. Leo's looks are unparalleled, and paired with his last name, he never fails to get what he wants.
When Vivienne Browne proves to be unattainable to him, Leo is intrigued. What started out as a simple experiment, turns into something much bigger. Leo's never had his heart broken because he doesn't let anyone get close enough to see that he has one. Vivienne's never had her heart broken because she hides before anyone can look at her twice. So how does someone as timid as Vivienne leave Leo completely and utterly heart broken?

Hiatus !! ( but I promise I am coming back ; see the last chapter ) 20.12.2025 Some storms come and go. Raven became one. Raven Storm has learned to survive in silence. At home, she hides bruises behind bandages and fear behind a blank stare. At school, she's the outcast-judged, hated, blamed for something she couldn't control. The world turned its back on her.

Thrown together for a class project, Raven and Adrien are forced into each other's lives. She just wants to stay invisible. He's hiding something beneath every smile. They were never meant to trust. Never meant to care. Definitely never meant to fall. But fate doesn't ask. And secrets don't stay buried forever. Because Adrien isn't who he says he is. And Raven's father isn't just a monster-he's a target. In a world of lies, violence, and betrayal, the only thing more dangerous than the truth... ...is the way they're starting to feel. Well, I am shit at writing summaries or something like that so I asked my bestie Chat gbt ; so yeah! Enjoy! BTW: I going to be completely honest I reread the first few chapters and they may be a little rough to read in terms of grammar and so on but I promise it gets better in the further chapters. I apologize beforehand.
A Day in May
"And it only took a day. Just one simple day for me to realise that people aren't who they seem. They're not always who they say they are, and although in some forms it's awful, sometimes it can be beautiful too. This person beside me hid their life away so they could have a better one, for himself and his mother, and I truly don't think his sacrifices have been duly noted. Because he's a good person; a beautiful one. It took a day for me to fall for the quiet boy in my English class. The boy with a hidden arrogance and a talent for acting. The boy who has black hair and blue eyes, which fall slightly darker as he gets more tired. Eyes which right now are trained on me." Willow Ford is a sarcastic, snarky, almost-seventeen year old, with a slight attitude problem. Leo Blakely is quiet, refined, and lives a life full of secrets. And when the two clash during an accidental lock-in at their high school, it's funny how much can happen in just one day.Complete
Don't run from me (Book 3)
I leaned back against the wall "It's been so long hasn't it?" "Yes, it has... I think the last time I saw you was high school graduation." "Exactly, and I waved at you and was making my way to you but you had disappeared." "Oh, I..." she looked around as if looking for an escape making me smile. She was so adorable. "Hey, it's okay" I chuckled "Don't worry about it. I just always wondered why you kept running from me throughout high school. It was hard keeping up with you, to be honest." Her smile faded and she just shrugged before leaning down to pick up her things "Well, it was nice seeing you again Mr. Walton." "Mr. Walton? Where did that come from?" "It seems we'll be working together now, it's only fair I call you Mr. Walton. It wouldn't be appropriate otherwise." I frowned standing up "Are you running from me again?" After a harsh breakup, Mason Walton's life changed upside down. Instead of being the considerate boyfriend he always was, he became the biggest playboy of all time.

The temptation thesis
When Esmerelda Harlow steps into the musty halls of Winston High as the new history teacher, with a reputation for being a bitter and arrogant professor, whispers of her arrival ripple through the school. Students are wary, until the reckless student Cameron Monroe allows her interest to morph. Cameron, the school's untouchable rebel with a reputation for detention and carelessness, with a game of causing disturbances. To her, Esmerelda Harlow is just another target-a seemingly uptight woman with strict rules and an aura of authority begging to be challenged. But when Cameron tries her usual antics, she's met with something entirely unexpected: resistance. Esmerelda is not an easy mark. In fact, she's more than Cameron bargained for. Cool-headed and emotionless. Every sarcastic remark is met with calm but devastating wit. Every act of defiance earns a punishment so perfectly tailored, it leaves Cameron seething-and strangely fascinated. Esmerelda sees through Cameron's rebellious exterior to the restless mind beneath it. Cameron, for all her bravado, finds herself caught in Esmerelda's gravitational pull-her intelligence, her poise, and her charm. But Esmerelda isn't here to play games. She's here to teach Cameron a lesson she'll never forget, one that will leave them both questioning the boundaries of power, desire, and control. In the end, it's not just Cameron's life that Esmerelda will upend, -it's her own. In a town where reputations are everything, what happens when two unstoppable forces collide in one university?

But Milo let's it slide, even with Aurora talking back. But as revenge? Filling up Aurora's locker with sand and humiliating her seemed like the best choice. But he doesn't realise how much he actually needs Aurora. Way more than you think. Read along for a boarding school romance with lots of drama!Complete
