See,Jade wasn't really a very happy person. She was quite the opposite. Well if you can call an quiet, socially awkward, no friends and shit grades person happy. And not to mention the fact that her only happiness is reading books and making playlists about them. James Henderson is the opposite of Jade. He is a very out going person, who would do anything to see his friends happy even if that means that him, himself wouldn't be. Some people think that that's a weakness but James sees it as a very good quality. Of course his biggest rival Jade doesn't think so. Anytime they have an assignment together she would always call him out on that, while James would call her out on her no socialism and her shitty eye bags. What he would not tell her is that he kinda finds them attractive. Very attractive. Jade and James are fine with never talking to each other but there is one tiny problem. They both have the same two mutual friends. Avery and Xander. That and the fact that their families are really close. Like really close. When they were kids James's family would come over all the time. But that's not what we're here to talk about. We're here to talk about Avery and Xander, well for now. Avery and Xander are absolutely crushing crazy with each other. Of course everyone else sees it but them. Their misscommunication is driving both Jade and James crazy. One day when they're seated together for an assignment they both can't take it anymore and come up with a plan to get their idiots together. Well more likely a deal. Which one will be able to get Avery or Xander to confess first wins. But what they don't realise is that they are actually setting themselves up. *perfect for "better than the movies" lovers! *

The Frat Files by izzy_b_x

When Mia Sinclair received her acceptance to WillowBrookes's exclusive summer program, she was ecstatic. This was one step closer to everything she had worked for - her dream career in journalism. Mia doesn't do distractions. She doesn't do spontaneity. She does structure, success, and perfectly executed plans. This program is her chance to prove that all her hard work has been worth it, and she refuses to let anything-or anyone-get in her way. Enter Evan Carter campus celebrity, captain of the hockey team and notorious rule-breaker, sent to the program as punishment. He is, in every way, the opposite of everything Mia believes in. To her, he's a reckless idiot coasting on charm and privilege, with no real ambition. So when he bets her that she'll have more fun experiencing college his way, the right way- wild parties, spontaneous adventures, and absolutely no study sessions allowed - Mia surprises herself by accepting. After all, she's just stumbled upon the perfect angle for her entry in the program's prestigious writing competition-an exposé on frat culture. But as he drags her into his world, Mia starts to realise that maybe happiness isn't just about grades and a perfect career, and that frat boys might not be as bad as they seem. And maybe, just maybe, she's breaking the one rule she swore she never would - she's falling for him.

The Sunshine Effect by riareadsz

Aurora Nash is a ray of sunshine wrapped in a smile that can light up any room. With her bright blonde hair, infectious laughter, and a wardrobe full of ridiculously cheerful sundresses, she makes everyone feel at ease. But beneath the vibrant exterior, Aurora carries struggles she keeps locked away-pressures to maintain her perfect persona and emotional burdens she refuses to share. No one sees the cracks beneath the sunshine, and she intends to keep it that way. Blake Grayson is the exact opposite. Cold, distant, and perfectly content keeping the world at arm's length, he's built walls no one dares to break through. His teammates call him Grayson, and that's the way he prefers it-detached, untouchable. He's been let down too many times to trust easily, and the last thing he needs is an overly optimistic roommate barging into his carefully controlled life. When an unexpected housing mix-up forces them to share a dorm, Aurora is determined to make the best of it. Baking cookies, leaving uplifting notes, and refusing to let Blake's icy demeanor wear her down, she throws herself into being the ideal roommate. But Blake isn't interested. He avoids her at every turn, convinced that keeping his distance is the only way to stay in control. Yet, as much as they try to resist it, their worlds begin to collide. Slowly, cracks form in the walls they've both built-Blake's bitterness softening under Aurora's relentless warmth, and Aurora finding unexpected comfort in Blake's quiet presence. What starts as a reluctant cohabitation turns into something deeper, something neither of them saw coming. Because sometimes, the people we least expect are the ones who end up saving us.

Cold and Charisma (BoyxBoy) by asphericity

Riley Lachkov's life has only ever consisted of one thing - soccer. Raised in a family where emotions don't exist, Riley has put on a cold-front for as long as he could remember. Many people think that they know him - a cocky, arrogant, rude jerk who couldn't give less of a shit about what others think, but deep down, there's a part of him that no one has ever seen. A part of him that he never wants anyone to see. Archer Wilson has got everything going for him. From being at the top of all of his classes, to also being the most popular boy in school, his life is perfect. Everyone who knows Archer can confirm that he is anything but mean - with his charismatic personality, and his ability to make anyone swoon for him, he's the golden boy at Saint Arthur's Preparatory School. When Riley's family immigrated from Russia to the States, he struggles to fit in, finding it difficult to start his entire life over when the only thing he's ever known was his life back in his home country. His closed off personality and his tendency to act like a total douchebag didn't help either - in fact, it just made people want to stay away from him even more. But that doesn't stop Archer from trying. In fact, it makes him more intrigued in this new, feisty transfer student, more keen to break down all the walls that Riley has worked so hard to keep up for his entire life. Archer can't help but praise him for every little thing he does- in his eyes, Riley was an angel. He knew he was whipped the moment he saw him. What happens when Archer, the top student at Saint Arthur's, suddenly begins to develop an interest in the new transfer student, whose personality is as cold as ice? Will Riley finally begin to let him in, or will he continue to push him out, like he's done throughout his entire life? tropes: #grumpyxsunshine, #polaropposites, #slowburn, #temporaryunrequitedlove #popularnerdxlonelyathlete All Rights Reserved to Asphericity

The Fool by spiralings

"But he who dares not grasp the thorn should never crave the rose" *** ExTrAcT "We're role-playing Sunshine, think of it as inspiration for your essay. You can explore different fantasies! Not sexual of course..unless you want to, then I'd totally be down but I don't think I'm really into the whole public kink so we'd have to go somewhere priva-" Aurora was cut off when a hand grabbed her throat and pulled her up to where she was staring directly at Synns chest.

*Currently Editing!!* "See? Isn't it beautiful?" she whispered, breaking the comfortable silence between us, her voice soft and full of awe. "Yeah." i whispered, my gaze still locked on her. "It really is." She looked at me, a puzzled expression on her face. "You're not even looking at the sunrise," I smiled, gently brushing my thumb over her cheek. "I know." • • • Emmalyn Ansley may seem like the epitome of sweetness and humor, but beneath her warm exterior lies a world of pain that no one sees-not even those closest to her. Despite her outward strength and fierce independence, the reality is far more complex, as her body bears the hidden scars of a life that has been anything but kind. On the other hand, Mateo Ellis is the embodiment of cold indifference. Hardened by a life devoid of love, he presents himself as a ruthless, self-serving young man who trusts no one beyond his tight-knit circle of friends. He's never known what it feels like to be loved, and he has no desire to change that. But when these two seemingly incompatible souls collide, the result is anything but predictable. Will their meeting lead to mutual destruction, or will it spark something neither of them has ever experienced-something that could change their lives forever? 🏅#1 in Mental Health 14.07.2024 🏅#1 in Abuse 15.10.2024 🏅#1 in Addiction 05.02.2025 🏅#1 in Trauma 15.10.2024 🏅#1 in Fighting 25.10.2024 🏅#1 in Panic attacks 15.10.2024 🏅#1 in Shooting 27.02.2025 🏅#2 in Depression 06.11.2024 🏅#2 in Overprotective 06.11.2024 🏅#2 in Bad boy 05.02.2025 🏅#2 in loss 05.03.2025 🏅#3 in Sad Story 31.08.2024 🏅#3 in Sunshine 09.10.2024
