Chiara's mistake was talking to him for the first time, Jasper's mistake was confessing the truth to her.
----------------------------------------------------------------

Chiara led a monotonous and uneventful life until she met the enigmatic Jasper on the bus. Something about his reserved demeanor and the far-off look that always adorned his face drew her in from the start. She wasn't sure if it was the scent of worn-out paper, the black nail polish on his nails, or the far-off look that always adorned his face, but one day she decided to stop settling for admiring him from afar.

But when he confessed the true reason he was there, both of their lives changed forever and they embarked on a mysterious journey that would change their lifes forever.
Is this just a dreamy romance, or are they trapped inside a nightmare?

His rich, velvety voice sent thrills down my spine as he spoke my name. His intense, mesmerising gaze focused on mine, making it impossible to look away. As he drew me closer, his powerful arms wrapped around me, and I could feel the warmth of his breath against my skin. The aroma of his fragrance, a seductive blend of spice and musk, filled the air, making my heart race and my senses whirl. It's as if every aspect of him is intended to captivate and enchant me, keeping me completely entranced. "Release me." I blushed as I neglected his look. As I mentioned, he released me promptly, it appeared that he had forgotten to do so. We stood silent for moments, and then he broke the silence. "So, why were you ignoring me?" he complained. "Why would I ignore you ?" I lied confidently. "I noticed you ignoring me, you were trying to hide me " he protested again. "Well, I don't have reason to confront you", I showed a fake attitude. "As you had reason to hit on those boys from swimming pools!" I felt humiliated, but I maintained control. "Well, I can hit on you too," I get closer to him and sniff his collar. He was astonished, then chuckled. I also smiled. "That was unexpected," he said with surprise. "You'll find out how unexpected I am if you keep bumping like this", I warned him with a grin. "Whoa, is that so? Then I think I'll try to bump into you". ******** Fate brings two strangers together in a chance meeting that leads to an unexpected romance. As Sarah and Zayan get to know each other, they find themselves falling deeper in love despite the challenges that come with starting a relationship with someone you barely know. As the two navigate the complexities of their new relationship, they must confront their situations and navigate the ups and downs of falling in love with someone you barely know. Will their newfound love be strong enough to weather the storms of life, or will it be a fleeting passion that burns out as quickly as it ignited?"

His faint laugh stopped me in my tracks, my body turning sightly to look at him again. "That was cute. Really, I loved it, but you know I can't just stay away." He said while using air quotations for the last part of his sentence. My narrowed eyes continued to shoot daggers at him, "and why is that, Grayson? Huh?" I asked in a mocking tone. He rubbed along his jaw while pulling in on his bottom lip, his head lightly shaking from side to side. "What?" I said louder, my patience long gone. "I live right next door," he deadpanned, "I'm not going anywhere. As far as I'm concerned we're gonna be seeing each other practically every day, so this whole thing about staying away just isn't going to work for you. I don't let things I love go so easily." A chill went down my spine as I watched him walk up the stairs of his porch, "sweet dreams, Cam." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Eighteen year old, Cameron Woods, is ready to start her senior year alongside her friends and boyfriend, Damon Valero.

*EDITORS' CHOICE 2021*After falling for her senior year teacher, Louise learns a harsh lesson on what adulthood isn't. Louise has some trauma to unpack. Heartbreak's a bitch, and her first relationship had been anything but normal. Thinking herself mature for her age, her affair with Mr. Cain started swooningly well. Except things ended quite abruptly. It's a lot for a seventeen year old to handle. But who's really at fault for what happened? Who even is Mr. Cain, and what is he hiding? From the wreckage of her naivety and self-esteem, can Louise save her friendships and rebuild herself? Our love songs aren't telling the whole truth. How can this be? In this tale of vulnerability, adolescence and painful reckoning, the arrogance of youth demands a price. * "'You're what, Louise?' he asked. 'You're sorry? What am I supposed to do here? How can I turn this around? How can I tell you that everything you want and feel is reciprocated, when I have to go back to work and pretend none of it happened?' 'I don't know the answer!' I cried. 'Neither of us do.' I threw my hands up in defeat. He caught them before they could fall. 'But how do I go back to living without your words?' His voice became a whisper. He squeezed my fingers tightly, closing his eyes and bringing them to his chest. 'I need how you make me feel, Luiza. I need it to feel alive. I won't stay away. No one's made me feel this good before. And I can't stand myself for wanting what I want. What do I do?' I was a violin bow on the verge of splintering. Every inch of me pulsed with an ache that began from the marrow of my bones. Fate had brought us here. At this crossroads of ours, there were a hundred different choices to make. A thousand different lifetimes to choose from, stemming from and decided entirely by my next choice. And in the end, I chose incorrectly. I held his face between my hands, feeling the echoing pulse of his skin. I brought his face to mine. I kissed him."

In a world of fleeting glances and unnoticed faces, Sanket and Tanvi were strangers. Their paths ran parallel within the same school, yet their lives couldn't have been more different. Sanket, the star student, basked in the glory of his achievements, while Tanvi moved through the corridors as an average student, comfortable in her own quiet space. Their worlds were separate, until one unexpected moment changed everything. A glance, a smile, and soon they were intertwined-two souls finding love amidst textbooks and exams. Together, they dreamed of a future, making plans for a shared life after their senior secondary education. But fate had different plans. Without a word, Sanket disappeared, leaving for a distant city, taking with him not only their dreams but Tanvi's heart. Years passed, and just when the weight of his absence began to feel permanent, destiny intervened. They met again, as if the universe had conspired to reunite them. The love that once blossomed in the halls of their school reignited, stronger than ever. But this time, life was different. Sanket had his sights set on the daunting challenge of UPSC, and their love had to endure the trials of long distance. Even miles apart, they found ways to create moments, surprising each other with impromptu visits and stolen kisses. But love is not always kind. One fateful day, Tanvi received a phone call-a call that shattered her world, tearing their love from her grasp, plunging her heart into a cold, unforgiving darkness. This is the story of love found, love lost, and the cruel twist of fate that can turn a beautiful dream into a haunting nightmare. A journey where time brings people together, only to tear them apart, and where a single moment can turn life into a graveyard of broken promises.
