Thriller

Locker Room: Wild Games . AI-Generated.
Chapter One: A Game of Desire The bell rang, signaling the start of another school day at Ridgewood High. Harmony stepped out of her dad’s car, adjusting the hem of her sweater self-consciously. The morning air was crisp, yet she could already feel the familiar heat of insecurity creeping up her neck. She wasn’t ugly—not in the way some girls were whispered about—but she wasn’t the kind to turn heads either. She was plump, soft in all the places society told her she shouldn’t be. But none of that had ever really mattered. Not until Jason Carter. “Harmony, hurry up!” Mia called, flipping her long, honey-blonde hair over her shoulder. She was effortlessly stunning, the kind of girl who walked into a room and commanded attention without trying. Next to her stood Alyssa, their other best friend, scrolling through her phone with disinterest. Harmony tightened her grip on her books and caught up with them. “You won’t believe what happened,” Mia said, her voice laced with excitement. “Jason freaking Carter broke up with Rachel last night.” Harmony’s heart skipped a beat. Jason Carter—the school’s golden boy, star of the basketball team, and every girl’s wet dream. He was the kind of guy girls fantasized about in the dark, whispering his name between shallow breaths. “Why’d they break up?” Alyssa asked, unimpressed. Mia smirked. “Rumor has it he’s got his eye on someone else.” Harmony knew she had no business feeling anything about Jason Carter. Guys like him didn’t go for girls like her. But the way Mia was looking at her now, with that knowing glint in her eye, sent a shiver down her spine. “You should totally go for it,” Mia said, nudging Harmony playfully. Harmony scoffed. “Yeah, right. Jason Carter doesn’t even know I exist.” Mia grinned. “He does now.” Before Harmony could ask what that meant, she felt it—the weight of someone’s gaze. She turned just in time to catch Jason walking past, his athletic frame towering over the crowd. His scent lingered—a mix of expensive cologne and sweat. And then, just as quickly as it happened, he was gone. Harmony exhaled, trying to ignore the way her stomach flipped. She was in trouble.

A Fatal Attraction
Dark Ties Chapter 1: The First Encounter The city at night was a different beast. The neon haze blurred the lines between what was real and what was merely reflection.

Unmitigated Greed
Chapter 26 Sasha was used to being by herself, but this was the first time she was looking forward to someone coming home at the end of the day. It gave her the same giddy feeling she would get as a little girl waiting for her father to return from work so she could show him a new picture she had drawn. Crayon artwork may not impress Mike, but coming home to a completely organized house and a home cooked meal would.
