    Summary

    “Hello,” Elliott greets you both as you head back to the sandy shore. Shane doesn’t fail to notice how his eyes stay on you at least twice as long. 

    “Hey, Elliott,” you reply with a slight smile. Shane buries his hands in his pockets, trying to look like he’s grumpy for no particular reason. He’s not the biggest fan of Elliott, safe to say. He settles for giving him a nod, which Elliott returns with that twinkling smile of his. The one that’s supposed to be charming. Shane just grits his teeth.

    Five times Shane is jealous, and the one time you are.

    Summary

    "You're a fucking coward, Oscar!"

    Oscar lets go of the door handle and turns so fast that Lando's breath hitches. Dark, angry eyes meet his as Oscar takes a step towards him.

    "Don't start," Oscar says quietly, but his voice is full of anger. His driver room suddenly feels too small, but not in an exciting way. "Don't even dare to judge me if you're not better yourself."

    Lando swallows hard at Oscar's words. But what did he expect? Nothing more. He wants to yell at Oscar and shake him, but he knows that wouldn't change anything.

    "At least I can talk about it," Lando snaps back. "About us."

    He's had enough. This cat and mouse game. If Oscar wants to pretend like everything is normal, then fine, but Lando won't do that.

    To his surprise, Oscar laughs. A short, bitter laugh that sinks directly into Landos heart and lands where it hurts the most.

    "There is no us. And there never will be."

    OR: Lando and Oscar are both fighting for the drivers championship in the 2025 season and for control over a rivalry that’s starting to feel dangerously personal.

    Clark Kent
    Professor in the ENGLISH DEPARTMENT
    METROPOLITAN GOTHAM ACADEMY

    LIT 229
    Rating: 2/5

    "Professor Kent WILL hijack entire lectures to gush about his husband. Doesn’t matter if we’re supposed to be analyzing Shakespeare—suddenly we’re all trapped listening to how ‘incredible’ his husband looked making pancakes. Apparently, love is real and I’m just failing this class because I couldn’t remember what book his husband bought him for their anniversary.

    Also, he laughs at his own puns. Loudly. All the time. The man is unstoppable. Someone PLEASE tell me who married this menace because I need to know who willingly signed up for this life."

    Lois Lane, being the investigative journalist she aspires to be, has to unravel the mystery behind her professor's secret husband.

    Summary

    The toddler began to cry, and then he started to cough from trying to cry too hard, snot dripping down his face. Another adult came hurrying over to help him to his feet before they went inside to head, presumably, to the nurse’s office.

    Loud, chaotic, dirty. Everything that went against Al-Haitham’s standards.

    “Working here as what?” Kaveh blinked. “Like admin or something? That’s probably quiet and far enough from kids for you. Though—”

    “No,” interrupted Al-Haitham. “I don’t.”

    After getting fired from a prestigious architecture firm, Kaveh moves back to his hometown to raise his five-year-old brother only to find that an old college "acquaintance" is his little brother's kindergarten teacher.
