Behind the Mask
Bella Windorski is known as one of the prettiest girls at Crestwood Academy, thanks to her incredible makeup skills learned from countless online tutorials. Confident and cheerful on the outside, she secretly fears anyone discovering the face she hides behind her daily "mask."
Only one person has ever seen her without makeup-Daniel Smith, the school's handsome basketball star and top student. While admired by almost everyone, Daniel carries painful secrets of his own and prefers to stay out of the spotlight.
As fate brings them closer together, Bella and Daniel begin to uncover each other's hidden truths. In a world filled with expectations, insecurities, and secrets, they must learn whether true acceptance comes from appearances-or from the courage to reveal who they really are. 💄🏀❤️

Feelings, On Record
Ivan Guillermo de la Vega knows how to write about people. Getting involved with them is another matter. As a feature writer for the Indiana Daily Student, Ivan has built his life around observation. He notices the details other people overlook, turns them into stories, and keeps himself safely outside the frame. Then, during a late night in the publication room, he answers an AI questionnaire designed to generate his ideal interpersonal match. The result is uncomfortably specific: someone calm and consistent, someone who listens without demanding disclosure, someone who remembers the small things and knows how to stay. Ivan closes the tab, dismisses the profile as an algorithm rearranging his own answers, and returns to work. The next day, he meets Owen Maverick Turner. Owen is Indiana University's starting quarterback, the player everyone expects to lead the team to a national championship. From a distance, he is composed, dependable, and impossible to overlook. Up close, he is quieter than Ivan expected. He listens before responding. He remembers. He makes space without disappearing. And with every encounter, Owen begins to resemble the profile Ivan never meant to take seriously. What starts as coincidence becomes a pattern. What Ivan approaches as professional curiosity becomes increasingly difficult to separate from want. As the article he is writing about Owen turns personal, Ivan must confront the one position he has always avoided: being part of the story himself. Ivan knows how to observe people. He knows how to put feelings into words. This time, he may have to place his own on the record.Complete

When CHERRY Meets SOUR (𝗠𝗟𝗠)
Cherry C. Conjunsi has a name that sounds like a pastel mood board-but nothing about his life is soft. He was never fond of the city his parents ruled from. Glass towers, gated lives, conversations that felt like transactions. So while they stayed in the metro, Cherry stayed behind in Zambales, living quietly at the family's resort with only his personal maid for company. He went to a public school, blended in, learned how to live simply-and loved it. No drivers. No politics. No expectations breathing down his neck. Zambales was peace. Zambales was his choice. Until it wasn't. After he graduated Grade 9, his parents decided he was done playing province prince. They wanted him back in the city-back under their control. Cherry argued. Negotiated. Pushed back in every way he could. But Consunjis don't ask. They decide. And so, against his will, Cherry is uprooted and thrown into Odin University (OU)-an elite pressure cooker where surnames matter more than personalities, and futures are curated before you're even allowed to fail. OU is loud. Competitive. Suffocating. Everything Cherry hates. What he doesn't expect is the one variable that turns his carefully guarded, simple life into a full-blown emotional disaster. Kael Davis Sy. The same Kael who once lived in the margins of Cherry's childhood memories. The same Kael who now runs OU without even trying-untouchable, adored, dangerous in the way power always is. Meeting him again doesn't just reopen old feelings; it detonates them. What was supposed to be survival becomes a rollercoaster. What was once quiet turns brutal. And Cherry's refusal to care slowly mutates into something far more complicated. Because losing his simple life was one thing. Losing his heart again-this time to the city's golden boy-might ruin him completely. WHEN THE SIMPLE LIFE HITS 'SEEN'.
