After the two hook up one night as part of a game, Allie's rebellious older sister begins to challenge Jessica in ways she never imagined. Allie spends her days searching for love, but may only find it in the most unlikely of places. Relationships form, relationships end, hearts are damaged, and so are friendships. The kids of Tecspa are getting more than they ever bargained for this summer. Will they manage to make it out unscathed?

Hidden Desire
It's been thirteen years since Tyler has seen Mikey for more than just a handful of minutes in a passing visit. A ten year age difference hadn't stopped her crush, not after the fateful day he'd saved her life; he'd been home for Christmas, visiting his sister Val, who's married to Tyler's older brother, Reggie. Val had given birth to their first baby on Thanksgiving, and that Christmas was the first time Mikey was coming home to see him. As Tyler had been leaving the house, she'd slipped on the ice, hitting her head and knocking herself out. If Mikey hadn't found her when he did, rushed her to the emergency room, she would have died of hypothermia. That's when her obviously unreciprocated crush had started. She'd known him all her life. She was nothing more than his best friend's kid sister, the one he barely saw since making it to the N.B.A. and having spent the last ten years playing out in California. But he's home now, having been traded to Washington, the same city Tyler just happens to be going to school in. At twenty-one can she finally catch his attention? Can she finally tell him about her crush? The one she's had for the last five years. Will he ever see her as anything other than his best friend's little sister?Complete
Extra Credit
Savannah Reyes has her future mapped out: valedictorian, Ivy League acceptance, and zero distractions. Jace Carter is her biggest distraction - the infuriating slacker who somehow matches her grades without lifting a finger. Their rivalry is legendary at West-bridge High, fueled by years of snarky debates, stolen spotlight moments, and mutual loathing. But when their AP English teacher pairs them for a semester-long thesis on "The Psychology of Love in Literature," Savannah and Jace are forced into close quarters - and closer conversations. As they dissect romantic tropes and literary heartbreaks, they begin to see past the personas they've built. Savannah discovers Jace's chaotic home life and quiet resilience, while Jace uncovers the pressure behind Savannah's perfectionism. What starts as a battle of wills turns into late-night study sessions, reluctant laughter, and a slow unraveling of everything they thought they knew - about each other and themselves. With prom approaching, college decisions looming, and emotions running high, Savannah and Jace must decide: is love just another literary cliché, or the one plot twist they never saw coming?
The Contrast Effect
Dallas Donovan's parents divorced when he was six. His little sister, Tessa, went with their mom, while he stayed with his dad. It wasn't the usual messy, bitter split - quite the opposite. Both parents love their kids and co-parent peacefully. But no matter how much love remains, they can never be the family they once were. And that truth gnaws at Dallas more than he'll ever admit. He hates math with a burning passion but surprisingly loves biology - not that anyone expects the basketball star to enjoy dissecting frogs and memorizing cell structures. Then there's Kiera Davenport. The new girl. She's a walking contradiction - quiet but bold, cold but captivating. She's not a fan of any subject but somehow excels in all of them. On the field, she's Ravenwood High's star football player. Off the field, she posts dance challenges on Instagram, earning thousands of followers - and making boys practically drool. Not that she cares. Their sweet, overly optimistic biology teacher decides to play matchmaker, pairing students to help them "bond." Dallas and Kiera end up stuck together - no surprise, considering the teacher's obvious (and painfully unsubtle) attempts to ship them. The real question is: what does fate has in-store for them? Some stories are written by choice. Others - the unforgettable ones - are written by fate. --- "You're different," I muttered before I could stop myself. She blinked. "What?" I hesitated. "I mean... compared to school. You're-" I gestured vaguely at her oversized T-shirt, the ridiculous F.R.I.E.N.D.S. lyrics on it, her messy bun, the way she just-was. "Different." Something flickered in her gaze, but she just shrugged. "That's what happens when people only see what they want to see," she said simply, turning back to the stove. I didn't have a response for that. .................................... (Editing & Republishing)Complete

WE FEEL THE SAME
During a sun-soaked summer at the Olson-Miller family's beach house, 18-year-old Amelia finds herself looking forward to peaceful days with her sister Elise before college resumes. But everything shifts when Elise's boyfriend, James, announces he's bringing along his best friend-Tristan Jackson, the famously charming quarterback. Tristan expects another typical hangout, but the moment he steps into the beach house and locks eyes with Amelia, something changes. Captivated by her quiet confidence and natural beauty, he feels something unfamiliar-an emotion deeper than attraction, something he's never truly experienced: love at first sight. But Tristan doesn't recognize it yet, confused by the feelings Amelia stirs in him. Amelia, on the other hand, remains unimpressed by his reputation or good looks. She's heard the stories. But as days pass and they spend more time together-bonfires, beach walks, late-night talks-she begins to see a different side of him: thoughtful, vulnerable, and surprisingly sincere. With Elise watching protectively, summer becomes a season of unexpected emotions, inner conflict, and the first stirrings of something real. As Tristan tries to understand the pull he feels toward Amelia, she must decide if she's willing to risk her heart on someone who's still discovering his own. This summer may have started as a break, but for Amelia and Tristan, it could be the beginning of everything.
