When Lettie Hart-painter, introvert, and self-appointed guardian of silence-falls two months behind on rent, her landlady decides to "solve" the problem for her. The solution? A roommate.

Enter Rhys Mercer: a substitute teacher whose optimism should honestly be illegal.

He waters her plants. He hums show tunes. He calls her Violet just to watch her scowl.

She swears she hates him. (She really doesn't.)

But as the building's quirky tenants start roping them into impromptu dinners and late-night roof parties, Lettie realizes that sunshine has a way of sneaking in under even the thickest doors. And sometimes, the boy next door isn't there to ruin your peace-he's there to remind you you're still alive.All Rights Reserved

Detention for Two by bychiaraye

He's the guy everyone warns you about- with fists full of trouble, ink on his skin, and a stare that dares you to look away. She's the girl no one notices- quiet, sharp, always two steps ahead and one word from setting everything on fire. When Ivy Lane calls out Carter Hayes in front of the entire class, it should've ended with silence. Instead, it ends with detention. Together. One empty classroom. Two stubborn hearts. And a thousand seconds where the tension cuts deeper than any insult. He calls her princess. She calls him predictable. But the longer they're stuck in the same room, the more obvious it becomes- Hate might be the safest thing they feel.

Eclipse: The Violent Sunshine by Moonlight_letters

They sit in the same classroom, on the same last bench-two names whispered like curses and prayers. She's fire disguised as laughter. He's silence sharpened into a weapon. They hate each other loud enough for the whole school to hear... but love each other quietly enough to destroy themselves. Between detention hours and unspoken pain, they learn that monsters don't always live under beds- sometimes, they sit beside you, smirking over exam sheets and broken hearts. This isn't a love story. It's a war disguised as one. Where hate flirts, scars speak, and survival becomes the only thing more dangerous than falling in love.

Sweeney Sweets by angelicc_flowerss

When Calliope Sweeney's boyfriend cheats on her the very same day she graduates from culinary school she decides to for once think of herself. To finally take an impulsive step and leave her hometown she'd been attached to since she was 11 years old. To start her life somewhere else, to live away from all the men who'd cheated on her in the past, to find herself and live out her dream life. She vows to focus on her own self growth and her new bakery the second she steps foot in Miami to live with her wealthy older brother. Although she doesn't expect a brooding jerk, Emrhys Blackburn, to enter her life when she gets there. He was her antithesis, a curt and aloof yet undeniably attractive man who somehow makes the fake smile she always plasters on real. She doesn't expect Rhys to make her feel a way she'd never felt with any other man before, to make her want something she should not want. But there were two problems. Number one is Calliope doesn't want to open her heart up that way again, even if it does mean she might have a chance at true love. Number two is Emrhys Blackburn is her brother's best friend. *** #1 in forcedproximity #1 in opposite #1 in bakery #1 in secretdating #1 in bestfriendssister #1 in brooding #1 in grumpyxsunshine #1 in groveling #1 in jealous #1 in cute

Almost Said It by oliveugochukwu1

Almost Said It What happens when you feel everything, but can't find the words? Lila Hart has always been the quiet one content to stay in the background, unnoticed. But when she's paired with Rowan Blake, the school's golden boy with a reputation for being perfect, things take an unexpected turn. Late-night project sessions turn into secrets shared, laughter that feels too real, and looks that linger longer than they should. Rowan may have it all, but Lila sees the cracks in his perfect image cracks he's desperately trying to keep hidden. And as they edge closer to graduation, the tension between them becomes impossible to ignore. But Lila's afraid to speak up, and Rowan's holding back for reasons he can't explain. Now, with everything on the line, the one thing they haven't said might be the one thing that changes everything. What if the moment to say it is slipping away?

Tyler is waging war against his roommate. A quiet engineering student, Ren won't give Tyler the time of day- unless it's to tell him to turn his music down. Tyler doesn't know what he's done to deserve the cold shoulder, but he figures if he's going to be disliked, he might as well properly earn it. So, Tyler goes all out: dishes in the sink, laundry on the couch, loud laughter and even louder friends. But despite his obnoxious bids for attention, Tyler can't seem to make Ren notice him... until one eventful winter break, when Tyler forgets to take his medication... and shrinks. Stuck at his size until he can get a refill on his prescription, Tyler suddenly finds himself relying on Ren for, well, everything. ...what's the worst that could happen?
