At St. Lourdes Academy, two students are known as the brightest minds of their generation. Luca Villanueva, the school's mathematics wizard, can solve impossible equations faster than anyone else. Logical, disciplined, and competitive, he believes every problem has a solution. Lala Reyes, the science genius, is equally brilliant. Curious, creative, and fearless, she dominates every science competition she enters. She also has a strange obsession with matcha and wasabi-flavored food. The problem? Luca absolutely hates matcha and wasabi. And he dislikes Lala almost as much. Their rivalry becomes legendary throughout the academy as they compete for the title of top student. Every contest turns into a battle of intelligence and pride. But when circumstances force them to work together for a prestigious national academic competition, they slowly discover that behind the arguments and competition are two lonely teenagers carrying enormous expectations. As friendship begins to replace rivalry, feelings neither of them expected start to grow. Can mathematics and science finally find a common formula for love? Or will their stubborn hearts remain unsolved?

✧____________(⁠✯⁠ᴗ⁠✯⁠)_____________✧ 🪷 "Her innocent king" season 2 "🪷 "You never told me... you're a billionaire and the CEO of a law firm," Ishaan's voice cracked, pain hidden behind those calm, cat-like eyes. Aaniya stepped closer, her hand pressing over his heart, her lips barely above a whisper "Because I was me... and your lover... every second I was with you," she said, her words a mixture of truth, fire, and regret. "You should find someone of your status... not a simple, ordinary orphan doctor," he said quietly, his voice steady but his eyes betraying the storm inside. Aaniya stepped closer, her heels echoing softly against the marble floor, a dangerous smile curving her lips. "No one can match your status, muffin," she whispered, her gaze locking into his. "And my choice... is never ordinary." Her fingers brushed his jaw, tilting his face toward her. "Muffin," she breathed, her tone melting between challenge and confession,"I am yours... and you are mine. And I will do anything to make sure the world knows it. ""You kept me in the dark for six months, Aaniya," Ishaan said, his voice breaking as he looked at her one last time. "I can't trust you anymore... and I don't love you. We're no more friends." He turned away before the tremor in his voice could betray the ache in his chest. Aaniya didn't move. She just smiled softly, painfully as her heart bled behind that calm face. "But I do, muffin," she whispered. He froze at the door, his throat tightening, tears burning behind his eyes. He swallowed hard... and walked away. And for the first time, the woman who never lost a case, lost the only heart she ever wanted to win. © 2025 Kaashi Kaashi. All rights reserved.

Thoughts on divine gender, love not love, imperfection and life

In a small, deeply religious province, faith is everything. Your family. Your reputation. Your future. Everything belongs to the community. Everything belongs to God. Santa has spent his entire life being called a miracle. Saved from a deadly illness as a child, he was raised to believe God spared him for a reason. Since childhood, everyone has expected him to devote his life to the temple. He doesn't question it. Not until he meets Perth. Perth has spent his entire life being judged. The son of a disgraced family. Years ago his father abandoned the town after a scandal. Nobody lets them forget it. Perth grows up learning that some people are born loved. Others have to earn it. He works harder. Studies harder. Smiles harder. But he's always an outsider. They should never have crossed paths. But then Santa smiles at him one day. A small moment. A simple kindness. And suddenly, the future they've always known no longer feels certain. As their bond deepens, Perth and Santa must choose between the life they were taught to want and the feelings they can no longer ignore. In a community where faith is law and every choice is watched, some questions are dangerous to ask. And some forms of love may cost everything. *Regular weekly updates*

Some people spend years getting to know each other. We only needed a few days in April 2024. It started with a Physics class, a few stolen glances, and a stranger who looked like our laughter was disturbing his peace. Within days, there were borrowed notes, endless conversations, a bike ride in the rain, random phone calls, inside jokes, and a friendship that neither of us saw coming. This isn't a love story. It's the story of how an ordinary JAMB lesson introduced me to someone who would become one of the most important friends in my life. Sometimes, the people who change your life don't arrive with grand entrances. Sometimes, they simply sit behind you in class.

A blog of Ideas , thoughts and advice.

Cheyenne Mitchell grew up as an average Christian girl, in a strict Seventh Day Adventist family. But she ALSO lives a double life working as a pornstar, Cece Phoenix, fed into this life by a group of perverted, anti-religious rebels. Until the day comes that she gets caught in a horrific car crash and nearly dies. And when she wakes up, her spirit is pulled out from her body, and taken down to Hell where she is shown NO MERCY. But not all hope is lost, for after Cheyenne realizes what's happened, she is given a miraculous second chance by Christ. When she returns to her body, she's given a new beginning for her life, away from home with various NEW companions, including Albert Johnson, the church guitarist who saved her from the wreckage. She wants to know a few things: is it possible to start over? Can she conquer her past and escape? Did God allow everything to happen for a reason, and if so, why? Because to the world, Cece Phoenix is dead. But even though it's Cheyenne Mitchell who still lives, her friends and family aren't aware, and the past still follows her.... And warning: this will contain very mature and sensitive topics, brief graphic violence, and swearing. The main character is an ex pornstar, but any sexual scenes are going to be kept as subtly and as brief as possible, not TOO explicit in details (with one future exception) Overall, this IS a story on Christian faith and redemption through God, but I won't pull too many punches. Not only are there A LOT of cliches and stereotypes in Christian stories and media, but also a lot of topics that tend to get ignored, such as pornographic topics. However, I believe that it IS important that we acknowledge them, and even more so, I believe it's important to HAVE stories involving Christian faith, that contain a sense of realism, like this one. It'll be a long journey, but I hope you stick around. You won't regret it. Please comment, vote and share this with your friends, and may God bless you with this.

After a family tragedy uproots her life in Seoul, Haeun moves in with her aunt and uncle in a quiet seaside town, carrying with her the same habits she's always relied on: keeping her head down, studying hard, and asking for as little from others as possible. She has her late-night blog, the abandoned school laboratory where she spends her evenings studying, and the comforting illusion that loneliness is easier when it's familiar. Then there is the voice echoing through empty hallways. The boy working at the old harbor record store. The unpredictable gatherings she somehow keeps ending up at. The classmates who slowly start feeling weirdly familiar. And the anonymous user who won't stop arguing and teasing her about music online. Online, she is locked in a midnight digital war with a teasing, childish stranger who refuses to let her have the last word. In real life, she is just trying her best to suppress the weird, nervous fluster that hits her every time she's around Seonghyeon-the calm, effortlessly composed center of the school's loudest circle. Haeun is determined to keep her guard up. But between wired earphones, small-town summers, and a private message inbox that won't stay quiet, she's about to find out that the screen can only hide the truth for so long.

It all started with a random eye contact in a school corridor. Rishika didn't think much of it at first. After all, he was just another senior. But slowly, those small moments started becoming unforgettable. A glance across the corridor. Friends screaming over "nothing." Accidental touches in crowded hallways. And a boy who barely talks to girls somehow noticing her again and again. Chayank is calm, unreadable and impossible to understand, while Rishika is chaotic, expressive and constantly surrounded by drama created by her own friends. Between school life, endless teasing, emotional confusion and moments that make hearts race for absolutely no reason, this story follows two people slowly getting pulled into something neither of them expected. A realistic school romance with slow-burn tension, comedy, chaos and teenage emotions.
