Through It All

"you stay on my mind" - drive by

Inspired by Season 7 of Love Islanda USA contestants, Olandria and Nic. She was a girl. And he was a boy. Can I make it anymore obvious? He was a basketball player. And she was a straight-A student. What more can I say? A lot. In her senior year of high school, Olandria is ripped from everything she knows in Decatur, Alabama, and forced to start over in Jacksonville, Florida. Her goal for the school year is simple: avoid the drama and graduate quietly. But that plan unravels the moment she meets Nic-the school jokester and star point guard with a clingy girlfriend (situationship?). When she starts her own tutoring business, Nic becomes her first client, and she discovers there's more behind his cheeky smile and wayward ways. He might even be...wait....no. This is not the plan. Will she shut down the budding romance to keep her promise of staying under the radar, or will she betray her better judgment and fall for the school jokester? Perhaps the oldest daughter might finally choose herself.

My spin of nicolandria's love storyyy!!! friends to lovers trope

Nic had her backed against the wall without meaning to, every inch between them a battlefield. His hands flexed uselessly at his sides, wanting-needing-to touch, but not daring. The closeness was a slow burn, the kind that took him apart molecule by molecule. She tilted her chin up, eyes searching his, and he thought, if she leans in even a fraction, I'm gone. ✿ ✿ ✿ ✿ ✿ ✿ Olandria came to Love Island for exactly what the name promised - love. The villa is sun-soaked and electric, full of new faces and endless possibility. And then there's Nic: quiet confidence, steady charm, and a gaze that feels just a little too knowing. Every challenge, laugh, and stolen glance adds another layer to the pull between them. In a place where nothing stays simple for long, Olandria must navigate the sparks, the first impressions that won't fade, and the question that drives every Islander: who is worth the risk?
