Melody is a quiet high school freshman, lost in the rhythm of her own thoughts. She finds comfort in her routine, carefully avoiding the spotlight. But her silence isn't just a part of her personality-it's a shield. A secret hangs over her head, a heavy weight wielded by someone who knows just how to use it against her.
When Dylan, a musically talented senior, notices Melody, he's captivated by her eyes speaking louder than her mysterious nature. He tries to get to know her, to break through the wall she's built, but Melody keeps him at arm's length. She's not ready to let anyone in, especially not someone who is more or less a stranger. Dylan's persistence puts him on a difficult path, and he may just fail in his pursuit.
At the same time, Melody finds herself growing closer to Alan, a fellow freshman who shares her love for music and deep conversations. Their friendship deepens as they navigate the confusing world of high school together, but Melody's secret threatens to unravel everything she's carefully built. With Dylan still trying to reach her and Alan getting closer than anyone ever has, Melody has to decide if she's strong enough to face her secret or if she'll let it keep her in the shadows forever.

Faking Love (Complete)
You know the old saying fake it til you make it? Well my best friend took that a little too seriously. Caitlyn came up with a crazy scheme to help me finally get the guy I had been crushing on for three years. Her plan was a little unorthodox to say the least. She decided that her and her boyfriend Colton should stage a break up so I could pretend to date him for a month. He was the quarterback of the football team and the most popular guy in school. She said dating him would make the guys at our school finally stop seeing me as a shy, undateable nerd. She said I would have my pick of any guy after that, including my crush Takashi. It was the most ridiculous plan I had ever heard of. There was no way anyone would actually believe me and Colton were dating. He was the quarterback of the football team. It would have probably been easier to convince the whole school that I was dating the President. The problem was, I knew she was right. It was probably the only way I could get Takashi (my crush) to see me as girlfriend material and I wanted that more than anything in the world. Plus, Caitlyn's crazy schemes usually worked and I was desperate, so I reluctantly agreed to it. The weirdest part of the whole thing was, her boyfriend Colton used to be my best friend before him and her started dating and she gradually took his place as my best friend. That was four years ago and him and I weren't near as close as we used to be. Now he was just my best friend's boyfriend. CONTENT WARNING: Very mature themes & sexual content - 18+ only!

And yet, he's always surrounded by friends, a world apart from the quiet beach days they shared.

Or will Rose let her fears keep her from a love story waiting just beyond her reach?Complete

"It is, you don't even know what you're talking about so shut up", I cried out, walking forth and back for the hundredth time. "Listen, I do and it isn't him", he yelled this time and I stopped walking, angrily turning to him. Can he stop just pissing me off even more? "Oh yeah? And how are you so sure?"

Evelyn has always had a plan. Ace her studies, get into her dream university, and build the future she's worked tirelessly for. She's bright, ambitious, and full of life, the kind of girl who believes in hard work, big dreams, and the certainty that the future is hers to create. But as the school year continues, she finds herself waiting-not for an acceptance letter, but for a test result. One that could change everything.

Because until the results come, she's still Evelyn... the girl with a bright future. Then there's Caleb. He carries an air of mystery, drawing eyes without effort, his presence a quiet enigma that pulls others in, though he remains an untouchable shadow, always just beyond reach. But behind the easy smiles and nonchalant attitude, there's something else... something heavier. His family is hiding a secret, one that no one else knows. When Evelyn and Caleb meet, it's unexpected. She's all focus and determination, he's a mystery wrapped in effortless charm. But in each other, they find something they didn't know they needed-a quiet understanding, a safe place to be honest, to be afraid. Between the late night rooftop talks, and stolen moments between classes, they make a promise... to hold on, to keep a secret for each other, and to steal whatever happiness they can before time runs out. But time has never been theirs to keep.
