21 year old Xolani Badu, a rising star on YouTube and social media, has just gotten accepted into one of her dream schools. FAMU was everything she wanted and didn't realize she needed.
A late blossom to bloom it seems but heartache, fear and uncertainty have all played parts in her journey. She realized she had to face her ghosts and conquer her fears, although easier said than done.
Nearly 3 years after high school and a year and a half since the incident and she's still afraid to face him. How much confusion could be caused by breathing the same air?
Sonde Engel Basu has the world at his finger tips. The only thing that never strays too far from his mind is the brown skinned beauty who haunts his dreams.
He is originally from Miami, Florida. Even though it's a vacation spot, many people dont realize it isnt all beaches and sunshine. When you're not trying to end up on someone t-shirt, you ball because a scholarship was the only way some could ever go to school. It doesn't matter the sport when you trying to secure a bag.
He has it all. His dream school, his long time girlfriend, his grades look good and he's being asked about the NFL draft. What more could he want out of life? A chance at redemption? Maybe, closure?
Two streams who intersect into the same river, the two can never flow separately it seems. Only time will tell what truly happens.

Loving the Enemy
Dear Olive, I hate you. I hate that you were born and that your human and have a face. I hate that you live next door to me and I hate that I can't sleep at night because the thought of you has forever left a vivid image creased in the back of my mind. And most of all, I hate that you hate me. Hate, Everest Since the first grade when Olivia Kingston and her family moved in right across the street from Kyle Everest, he had believed to have instantly hated her. (At least thats how he tells the story) And maybe it was just because of the mere fact of her existence, or maybe it was that time she ate the last fruit snack at lunch, or let's not forget, in fifth grade she stole his partner in crime, being his twin sister Madeline. Now being 17 years old Kyle Everest still holds this unknown resentment against his next door neighbor Olivia Kingston, and torches her in any possible way he can, but what would happen when Olivia finally gets sick of letting Kyle torcher her unexplainably? Everything would change in the matter of one day when Olivia accidentally gets them both locked in the principals office in search of the same thing: The truth. But while staying together in a cramped room with no phones and surviving off nothing but the secret stash of their principal, while the entire schools is off on spring break, secrets will be told and feeling will unravel. And let's not forget, hate letters will be sent. This book may seem light and fun but it has some mature scenes and dark thoughts that I'd suggest for viewers 16+Complete
The Beast's Kryptonite
"Mine." His low growl of possession took my heart and the fate of my panties. They were soaked through with arousal. Damn it. I stroked his face as he sniffed the air. I prayed he couldn't smell my body's reaction to his. His hand slipped from my waist and traveled to the rip in my dress. "I can smell how much your body craves mine." My breath catches as his hand finds it home at the front of my panties. "Why don't you just submit yourself to me? Accept that you are mine and mine alone?" His hand was traveling lower, and he found my clit rubbing it through my underwear. I couldn't help but lean my head back and moan out at his skillful administration on my pussy."Moan, my name, my innocent mate. Tell everyone who is making you feel this pleasure."He had ripped my underwear off me and threw them across to hit another tree. He propped me up against the tree, causing me to hold onto his shoulders for support as his fingers took advantage of my spread legs, my dress completely exposing my pussy to him."Absolutely Ravishing." One of his thick fingers pumped its way into my hole, causing me to moan loudly into his ear. "Seth." ********* Seth Knight was not one for romance; everyone at Quillwood High School knew that. If you were a girl, you were in danger of being his next distraction. He would fuck a girl, the girl would fall in love, and he would leave. It was what had always happened. But there was a time before he had become a player. His old best friend, Belle Rivers, the innocent, sweet girl he had known since birth, kept the darkness at bay. Their mothers had been best friends since high school and conceived only months apart. They were destined to be. He was her protector, and she had kept him good, but when his dad died, the darkness crept into his heart, and the only one who could save him was forced to leave him.

Have you ever felt lost in time that you needed an escape, or that you were so lost in your thoughts that you needed to snap back into reality? You manage to put your fantasies aside as you take on a journey in high school, meeting new friends and finding true love. Which also led to drama, sadness, madness and mystery. --- Laurance/ Gene x Reader --- - I do not own any of the characters or dialogue in this story other than some of my original characters and dialogue. full credit goes to Aphmau for her characters and everything that's mentioned about her channel and storyline. This story is based on Phoenix Drop High ( first season and so on ) Full credit goes to Aphmau. I don't own Phoenix drop high. The fanfic is still on going but it has 3 segments of the story, currently still on 3 if I add more it depends. 1st is the beginning of your school year, PDH S1 2nd is PDH S2 3rd is after the events of s2 but still in your 2nd year leaning to your 3rd Keep in mind, most of the series was in Aphs POV so not everything there will be added and there will be changes. ---- As I said, based this Laurance/ Gene x Reader around Phoenix Drop High and will move forward with this story as the main characters get older. The ages are like between 15/18 for most of the young characters, obviously 🥲😭 It's a Laurance X reader in the beginning but it will have Gene involved further on in the story, and yeah I know Gene is not that nice in the beginning but he changes. I'll try to add my characters and stuff. Also if any of you find this cringe, don't read it. IDC, This is meant for simps. I may not be the best at writing but I'm happy with this fanfic. Also if I add ideas to what you may have on or what your hairstyle is, things like that just know you can imagine yourself however you like. It's just an option cause I know it's not a self-insert if you describe the character. Anyway, I hope you enjoy my fanfic ❤️

It Wasn't Love ✔️
"Fuck." He whispers into my neck, sending a thrill of excitement through my body. His lips still smothered kisses over my neck and his hands roamed my body, starting at my chest, going down to my stomach. Caressing my soft skin, his thumb trailed circles on my groin before slightly slipping into the waistband of my jeans. My breath catches in my throat as I pull at the hoodie that covered his chiselled body. Understanding, Jacob pulls it off in one swift movement before attaching his lips back on my neck. Sucking and biting it before flicking his tongue over the sore spot. A quiet moan leaves my mouth and I clasp my hand over it, denying any noise to escape. "You drive me fucking crazy, Aria." ---------------------------- Aria Bailey finds it hard to fit in. Her parents are always busy and never have time for her.
