In the bustling capital city, CEO Rayyan reigns supreme - an arrogant, conceited, and aloof intellectual who sees himself above others. but when Tasleem's path crosses his, the icy facade begins to crack.

Ally never planned to become famous. A Scottish streamer known for her explosive temper and sharper tongue, she accidentally goes viral after a single rage-filled moment-and two years later, she's traded her mum's house for a Glasgow flat, a Red Bull sponsor, and a place on the Sidemen's newest reality experiment, Inside. Locked in a warehouse-turned-house with eleven strangers and nowhere to escape the cameras, Ally expects chaos, competition, and drama. What she doesn't expect is Ginge-infuriatingly charming, all sharp banter and lingering looks-or Harry, whose easy confidence and attention blur the line between friendly and something else entirely. As alliances form and tensions rise, Ally finds herself caught between playful flirtation and something slower, deeper, and far more dangerous. And when jealousy starts to slip through Ginge's jokes, it becomes clear that not everything inside the house is just for the show. Because when feelings get involved, someone always gets hurt-and the cameras catch everything.

She instantly finds a little brother in I.N and a protector in Bang Chan, but there is one major problem: Hwang Hyunjin. He's the Prince, she's the Princess, and neither is willing to share the crown. They are visual twins with zero patience for each other. What starts as sharp-tongued banter and dance-practice rivalry quickly spirals into a tension that threatens to burn the dorm down. They say there is a thin line between love and hate. Rina and Hyunjin are about to dance right over it.

After the death of her father, Harper Dawson and her mother moves to Willow Brook where she ends up living next door to the grumpy captain of the football team.

⏔⏔⏔ ꒰ ᧔ෆ᧓ ꒱ ⏔⏔⏔ DARLA CLAYTON⋆˙⟡ I'm Darla Clayton. First female engineer at Blazren Racing, full-time chaos magnet, and occasional genius... depending on how you define "minor explosions." I don't do rules-they're more like suggestions anyway, and I make them work my way. And Landon Grayson? Yeah... he's hot, fast, and thinks he's clever enough to outsmart me. Spoiler: he's not. Fast cars. Faster disasters. Sabotage everywhere. Media breathing down my neck. And somehow, in the middle of all this madness, I might just teach Mr. Flirt to respect a girl with a wrench-and maybe, just maybe, make him blush a little. Buckle up. I don't do slow. LANDON GRAYSON ✮ She's chaos with a clipboard. Darla Clayton, overalls, hair that looks like it's been struck by lightning, and the uncanny ability to turn my car into a science experiment... on purpose. I should hate her. And sometimes I do. But then she grins, fixes the impossible, and somehow I trust her with my car. And, yeah... maybe my heart too. F1 is fast. Darla? Faster. Smarter. Infuriating. And she has no idea how close she's getting under my helmet. Hold on. This girl doesn't just break the rules, she breaks me...

"I will woo you in every way possible, my heart's smile," He whispered softly. "You deserve that and so much more." An indulgent smile later, He slipped into His car, whirring out of the driveway, feeling Her eyes watching Him from Her balcony, hoping the beautiful full blown Lotuses sparkled with drizzles of stars. **** Harini Raajan is very happy in Her artsy, outdoorsy, painting, event managing life, complete with many activities of Her choosing, freedom given to Her completely by Her family, who let Her do Her own thing.

🕯 "𝘪 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘢 𝘣𝘰𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘺 𝘪 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘰𝘤𝘦𝘢𝘯" - 𝘪𝘯 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘩 𝗘𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗵 had been at Camp Half-Blood long enough to know how it worked. How to stay quiet, how to be useful without being noticed, how to love someone from the edges and let them live in their own world. 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗰𝘆 𝗷𝗮𝗰𝗸𝘀𝗼𝗻 had been living in hers since the day he arrived, and she'd never expected him to see her. That night, when she catches him sneaking out for the Golden Fleece quest, she doesn't yell. She doesn't stop him. She just follows.

In the realm of Aegia, everyone has one chance to rise. With it comes the risk of being bound forever. Upon nearing adulthood, citizens of Aegia can choose to enroll in one of the Academies, where they are taught the ancient texts, the history of the realm, and the sacred runes handed down by the gods themselves. At the end of their time at the Academy, they face a series of tests to be sorted into two castes: 𝗔𝗲𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘀, the elite rulers, advance to the top positions in their field, deciding what is built, what is destroyed, where taxes go...and who lives and dies. And 𝘀𝘆𝗹𝗿𝗮, the servants bound by magic to their Aelaris. Seen as little more than an appendage and status symbol, they spend their days following their Aelaris and living for their demands, completely devoted and content in their role. The bond is considered sacred. It prevents the Aelaris from ever harming their sylra while ensuring the sylra is happy to serve. The Rite of Ascension determines who belongs where, a process that measures worth and potential, through the power of the gods. Rian Argon-son has always believed he was destined to join the ranks of the Aelaris, working tirelessly to prove himself worthy. Meanwhile his nemesis Ileana, born into wealth and privilege, has always seen herself as a true heir to power. Their rivalry has simmered in all their time at the Academy, and now the final testing is upon them. They may be both top of their class, but ultimately the Rite of Ascension will decide everything. Both have prepared. Neither are ready. Cover by @Merlyn_Fereira

*FIRST DRAFT, ONGOING* Peyton Thoms joins TSHigh's theater club. In a couple of seconds of gossip, she is now considered part of the dorks, in the eyes of the other students of her school... Great. Her hopes of having a hot senior boyfriend are being tossed right out of the window and Peyton is getting more and more desperate to be loved by literally anyone. When Carla, the "leader" of the theater family gets her heart broken, no, not just broken, but stomped on by a thousand elephants (as she described) by a sophomore whilst she is a senior, every member comforts the poor girl, including Peyton, still the young girl can't help but wonder what 15 year old can break a 17 years old's heart like that. Must be a real hottie... So when, in a truth or dare game she plays with her dorky friends, they give her a dare to ask out renowned player Stephen, Peyton doesn't need much convincing (well she still needs a little push)... But after some teasing and messing with him, a bond forms around the lie that is Peyton and Stephen. But it was a dare, there was no future attached to it. So... Who is going to get ghosted first, the theater girl or the player? ⚠️ CRINGE ALERT ⚠️ If you don't like 🧀y love stories, just, ummm DON'T read this as you may (or may not) be cringed out. This is highly inspired by the album Fearless from Taylor Swift. #itsalovestorybabyjustsayyes. ⬅️ This was the original title, but I changed it for the current 1️⃣. I'm also not trying to hide that each chapter's titles are also the same as each Taylor Swift's song title featured in the Fearless album, it was the goal :) Hope you enjoy, have a great read 📖!

Aria had always wanted to escape her life and live like a character from one of her books instead. She didn't expect another world to actually answer. When she and her friends are yanked out of an ordinary hangout and dumped into a completely different world, Aria knows it's the best thing that's ever happened to her. Magic. Weirdness. Chaos. Actual ducking superpowers. And The Academy-a school for teaching them how to use those powers without blowing themselves (or other people) up. This world has it all. Including a charming, magnetic guy who turns out to be the first person who can actually match Aria's spark. As the friends stumble their way through lessons, powers, and their new lives-finding laughter, love, and a very questionable sense of responsibility-an old enemy resurfaces, threatening to tear it all apart. With their school, their friendships, and their lives on the line, they'll fight with everything they've got. Preferably without dying along the way or getting demoted from students to prisoners. A storm is brewing. When it breaks... who will still be standing?
