She has only one goal: ""DO NOT AMBARRASS YOURSELF"" Unfortunately... she can already think of at least a hundred ways she absolutely will.

Lena has always lived carefully, finding comfort in quiet routines, familiar places, and the small habits that keep her steady when the world feels a little too overwhelming. Then she notices him. Raphael becomes part of her world in the most unexpected way, first as a presence across a café, then as someone who feels easy to talk to, easy to be around, even when she is not entirely at ease with herself. There is something about him that settles her, something calm and quietly reassuring that makes her feel seen without making her feel exposed. With him, the smallest moments begin to matter. Shared coffees, soft laughter, evenings that last a little longer than planned. His presence is steady and warm, and for the first time, Lena finds herself not pulling away when things start to feel real. Even on the days when her thoughts are louder and her hands do not feel quite steady, he meets her there with patience and care, until the world feels softer again. And somewhere between hesitation and hope, Lena begins to understand that love does not have to be overwhelming to be real. Sometimes, it is simply someone choosing to stay.

Mallory has a mission, a purpose, an end in sight. She doesn't need fun or distractions. She's driven and focused to the point of inattention to any and all things going on around her. And that's how it happens. One moment she's checking her mail before heading to her last class of the day, and the next she's staring at the remains of her emotional support coffee all over her shirt, the floor, and the handsome neighbor she's never even noticed until today. His presence in her life is a nuisance and the absolute last thing she would have wanted, but maybe, just maybe, he might be something she needed. __________ Open Novella Contest (ONC2026), prompt 19: when you accidentally spill coffee on someone, the moment that should've ruined your day becomes the beginning of a surprising and life changing friendship. I told myself I wasn't going to do it, I wasn't going to attempt two novellas at once when I have so many other things started. But clearly the muse is strong and the will is weak.

That Guy From History Do you ever just look at someone and go 'hmm how have i never noticed them before' that was what it was like when i finally recognized that guy from history. Every last period for the past two months this boy sat directly infront of me and we exchanged exactly zero words until the accident. He was gorgeous but what happens when you mix a guilty conscience and good looks.

Description In Formula 1, everything moves fast-careers, headlines, expectations. Valentina Antonelli has no interest in any of it. While her younger brother Kimi steps into the world of racing, she's focused on her own path-building a future in fashion design, chasing deadlines, sketches, and a career she's worked too hard to risk losing focus on. The spotlight was never her goal. Distraction is something she can't afford. But one night changes the balance she's carefully built. At a private F1 gathering she only attends because she has to, she meets Charles Leclerc. He's confident, familiar with chaos, and used to being watched... yet somehow, he looks at her like she's the only thing in the room he can't ignore. It should be nothing. Just a conversation she forgets the next day. But some moments don't stay where they belong. And some people make it very hard to stay focused on anything else.

SUNSETS, STADIUM LIGHTS, AND LOVE By Amelia Mendes Under the golden glow of fading sunsets and the electric buzz of stadium lights, everything felt bigger-dreams, risks, and especially love. Jackson Olson lives for the game. The roar of the crowd, the crack of the bat, the spotlight that never seems to dim-it's everything he's ever wanted. But when late-night practices turn into quiet conversations and stolen moments off the field, something unexpected begins to grow. You were never supposed to be part of his world. Not the chaos, not the attention, and definitely not the feelings that come with it. Between cross-country games, long summer nights, and the kind of memories that feel too perfect to last, you both start to realize something: some things shine brighter than stadium lights... but they're also easier to lose. Because love, just like the game, doesn't always go the way you planned. And sometimes, the hardest part isn't falling- it's holding on when everything starts to change. #3 In sunsets
