'Look at me, Celeste,' he gently lifts her chin up with the tips of his slender fingers. 'I'm right here, okay?'
***
When Celestine Vora enrols at the elite Marion University to study medicine, the last person she expected to come face to face with was Adrian Schulz. Always condescending, never conceding. As her brother's best friend, he always caught glances of her in the background, the silent, quiet shadow of an adopted girl who never quite matched her brother's innate talent. One who always seemed to be a hindrance, his biggest competitor for valedictorian in high school. He was looking forward to a fresh start.

That is, until she shows up in front of his apartment in the middle of the night, and shakily utters the words, 'He's missing.'

Human by IndigoJewel

Normal? What was normal even Adrian? High school is the time to take it easy before life really hits. Or that's the theory... If he were human. Not only does he have to deal with being the successor of his family's pack, but he's also got to search for his very own soul mate. If that wasn't tough, apparently there's been a series of disappearances that's forcing them to take action. Moving their entire community was one thing, but meeting Aria Kham was another. Intelligent, sassy, and a little bit self-loathing - what's a guy gotta do to make sure she doesn't hate him? And as much as he wants her to be part of his life, what's the price to pay if he tells her?

You First by AmbieMarie0x

"You First" - A Story of Love, Longing, and the One You Can't Let Go For years, Celeste Lancaster and Adrian Reyes have been best friends-inseparable, untouchable, and always on each other's side. Late-night drives, whispered confessions, and stolen moments define their friendship, but nothing ever crosses the line. At least, not out loud. But when Celeste falls for Nico-the charming, toxic boy Adrian has always hated-he's forced to watch her fall for someone who doesn't deserve her. And when Nico inevitably breaks her heart, it's Adrian who's there to pick up the pieces. That's when everything changes. Celeste starts noticing the way Adrian looks at her-the way he always has. The tension in their stolen glances, the hesitation in his touches, the moments where they almost kiss, but don't. Because Adrian won't cross that line. Not when she still sees him as just a friend. Not when she might still love someone else. Not when he's terrified of losing her. But feelings don't stay buried forever. And when jealousy, heartbreak, and longing push them closer than ever, Celeste and Adrian are left with only two choices: risk everything... or lose each other forever. A slow-burn, friends-to-lovers romance about missed chances, undeniable tension, and realizing the one you've always needed has been right beside you all along.

The Wrong Dorm by ScoutBear1

When Daisy finds herself in a mixed gender dorm that none of the teachers know about, she soon finds out that there is more to the people that live there that meets the eye. Ollie, her newly made friend. Jenna the delirious bitch. Dylan the sweet boy stained by Jenna's bad reputation. And James the mysterious hot guy. She gets caught up in going to parties with them, struggles with anxiety, her dark past and her mixed feelings about James, who is one minute flirty and hot and the next mean and dangerous. She could never fall for the the resident bad boy that lives with her , would she? I glance down at her peaceful face, brushing a stray stand of hair out of her face, while the movie's soft soundtrack fills the room. She looks so beautiful like this-calm, safe, trusting me completely. "What are you doing to me Dais?" I whisper, my voice barely above a breath. "I really like you...but have no idea how to tell you." She stirs slightly beneath me, but she doesn't wake up. I freeze for a second, wondering if she heard me, but when she settles back down, I let out a quiet sigh of relief. She didn't hear. Or at least, she won't remember.
