Cigarettes, lilac skies and poetry at 3am: sixteen-year-old Pietro ''Pit'' Rossi knows the adrenaline of feeling empty and infinite at the same time. With the reputation of a goofy idiot who doesn't care about anything at all, getting held back at school doesn't seem like a problem. But it is. Because Pit cares about everything, and he always cares too much.

Rock's Life - Background Noise
In a valley that never changes, all it takes is one wrong kiss, a song on the radio, and a winter night to make everything fall apart. 🎬 Early 2000s. Flip phones snap open like promises, songs drift slowly through MP3 players, and headphones crackle with dreams too big for a mountain town frozen in time. The Rusty Dreamers have always played: three friends, one band, one hope that echoes louder than anything else. Filippo pounds the drums to drown out the chaos inside him. Jacopo, bass and madness, is a wildfire waiting to burn. Manuel, guitar and steady mind, says little-but holds everything together. And then there's Cat: sharp, witty, always there. She doesn't play, but she's their silent constant. The girl who's been secretly in love with Filippo for as long as she can remember. And no one knows. Not even him. But when Emma arrives-a girl from the city-the balance shatters. Everything changes. In one final year of high school, filled with goodbyes and new beginnings, between secrets, jealousy, and unspoken truths, music becomes the voice for everything they can't say. Love tangles. Scars remain. Dreams grow too big for a valley stuck in time. 🎧 And that constant background noise? It's music. It's growing up. It's chaos. It's life. 🎸A story of small towns, music, jealousy, and first times. 🎧 Of friendships that hurt and love that makes you grow. 🔥 Of dreams too big to stay in the valley. 🛻 With a vintage feel-amplifiers, vinyl, and wild, messy hopes. New chapter every week on Tuesday! References to songs, lyrics, and music in this work are made for narrative purposes only. All rights remain with their respective owners. ©Rufio.
Selfless
Avery Johnson is a mediocre girl, living in a mediocre world. Or so she thinks. She's an only child and her parents are still happily married. Her best friends are Simone and Alexio. Alexio Ramones is the boy next door, but he's also the mysterious troublemaker at Harrison High. Their friendship has been kept between them since the day she was born. Sure, it was never an actual secret, they just never felt the need to tell anyone, and didn't talk in school since they belonged in different social groups. Love is inevitable. Drama is also inevitable seeing as they're teenagers trying to figure out why the hell you need to learn algebra in school because you'll never need it after graduation either way. Alexio is an ignorant and selfish bastard when it comes to everything except Avery. He's loved her for years and given her all the signs she should have needed to figure it out. Everything. Yet, the moment Adam joins their school, she starts dating him and Alexio is left feeling his heart shattering as the love of literally all his life finds happiness in someone else. In another man. He's selfless until suddenly he's not and the world falls apart. For once it's not the girl that gets her heart broken by the bad boy, rather the other way around.Complete

Too Many Feelings
This story is inspired by the song, Too Many Feeling by Ruel. Reid transfers to a new school after a quiet, complicated past, hoping to lay low and keep to himself. But he moves next door to James-cool, confident, and taken. What starts as a random walk to school slowly spirals into messy hallway glances, quiet moments that shouldn't mean anything, and feelings Reid doesn't want to admit. Especially when James is still dating Hailey and doesn't even seem to notice him like that... or does he? As Reid begins to settle into the school-building friendships with Jake, William, and others-he keeps getting pulled into James' orbit. The tension builds slow. Jealousy brews. Misunderstandings explode. And all the while, Reid is forced to confront what he feels, what he fears, and whether it's worth it to want something so complicated. Because sometimes the feelings are too many, too messy, and way too hard to ignore.
