Rory Kavanagh. The best rugby player Tommen has ever seen-well, besides his da, obviously. Johnny Kavanagh. The Johnny Kavanagh. Our parents are basically joint at the hip, best mates since they were kids. And naturally, me and Rory just... became mates too. That's the deal. That's what we said we'd be. Friends. Right? Friends. But like-come on. Have you seen him? His abs? That man has a six-pack like he's sculpted from marble. His hair? Brown and silky, like-like a shampoo ad or somethin'. And those eyes? The kind of blue that makes you forget your own name. I swear to God, I'm not even being dramatic. So yeah... maybe I've a teeny, tiny, miniscule crush on him. Can you blame me? No. No, you can't. I won't hear it. But I'm not saying a thing. No way. What if he just laughs? That'd kill me. So for now, I'll just pretend I don't stare at him for longer than is normal when he talks. For now, it's just friendship. Grand. ...But what if he does feel the same? *** Bethany Gibson. Jaysus. She's been my best friend since we were in playschool, like actually since nappies. She's pure chaos-loud, mad, always in trouble for something-but I wouldn't change a thing about her. Not one thing. She's class. Gorgeous too. Not just like "oh she's grand," no-proper gorgeous. Her blonde curls bounce when she laughs, and I swear it's like the sun's just following her around. Her eyes? Silver. Like not even grey-silver, like a flipping fairy or something. Every time she looks at me, I forget what I was saying. Which is not ideal when you're trying to seem normal, right? I've fancied her since I was about seven. Maybe six. But what am I supposed to do? Tell her? What if she just laughs and goes, "Ah you're gas," and then pats me on the head like I'm some lost puppy? I'd actually evaporate from shame. But then again... what if she does like me back? What if all this time I was too scared to see it?

Aidan Feely. One of the most mysterious lads I've ever come across. He's got this quiet, brooding energy, like he's always a step removed from the chaos around him. Tall and lean, with that messy, dark hair that always seems perfectly tousled, as if he's just rolled out of bed and still somehow looks better than half the school. His green eyes - God, those eyes - sharp and intense, like he can see straight through you. I know boys are meant to be handsome, rugged, all that, but Aidan is just... beautiful. Long, dark lashes that half the girls in school would kill for, and a jawline that looks like it was carved from marble. He never says more than he has to, rarely smiles, and when he does, it's this rare, fleeting thing that makes my heart skip a beat. And I'm falling. Hard. But there's a problem. A massive one. I have a boyfriend. And he's nothing like Aidan. *** Sophie Quinn. The girl I've been losing my mind over for the past year. She's this whirlwind of chaos and laughter, the type of girl who lights up a room just by walking into it. She's got that wild, curly hair that never quite does what it's told, a laugh that echoes around the halls, and these eyes - bright and full of life - that catch the light in the best possible way. But here's the kicker - she has a boyfriend. Some tosser who doesn't deserve her. I see him around, loud and arrogant, one of those lads who thinks the world owes him something just because he can kick a ball straight. And it grates at me. I catch him throwing his arm around her, whispering in her ear, and it takes everything in me not to pull him off and tell him to keep his hands to himself. Not that I'd ever say it out loud, but I want her. More than I should. And I know she's starting to notice. The way I lean in a bit closer when she talks, the way my gaze lingers when she brushes past me. She's catching on, I can feel it. And I don't care about her boyfriend, not even a little. Because in the end, I'm going to have her.

As court intrigue tightens, enemies whisper, and allies hide their own agendas, Lianyu must navigate a world where love and loyalty are as dangerous as betrayal. And when Li Ren-the erased prince with a past as shadowed as hers-chooses her, nothing will ever be the same. The empire is on fire. The Phoenix has returned. And history will remember... who survives.

Noah Reyes wrote a book that never went anywhere. Every weekday morning, he rides the same train for five stops, carrying the quiet disappointment of a story that slipped through the cracks of the algorithm. His attempts to promote it on TikTok feel more like confessions than marketing. Until one morning, Noah notices a stranger across the aisle. Leather jacket. Work boots. A biker. And in his hands, Noah's book, worn and dog-eared, being read with the biggest smile Noah has ever seen. Julian Cross did not pick up the book by accident. He found it online, recognized the author from the train, and started reading it not just to understand the story, but to understand himself. Five stops is not much time. But sometimes, it is enough to change everything. ♥️ Entry for the Open Novella Contest 2026 Main Prompt ↦ 22. Your book never found much success, but on a train ride you spot a stranger reading it with the biggest smile you've ever seen. © 2026 ↦ onechapteraway on Wattpad

The Conflict The group is divided into two rival research teams, mirroring the ancient alliances (and betrayals) of their past lives. * The Northern Alliance: Led by Arthur, a natural-born strategist with a savior complex, and Isolde, a brilliant tactician who remembers the taste of poison more clearly than her morning coffee. * The Sun-Kings: Led by Kaelen, a charismatic but ruthless egoist, and Meryt, a queen who once commanded the Nile and refuses to be second-best in a 21st-century classroom. As they dig into the earth to uncover artifacts, they inadvertently dig into their own subconscious. The deeper the excavation goes, the more their modern personalities blur with their ancient shadows. The Twist....goes on
