INTRODUCTION You’ve only just moved to IJmuiden, still getting used to the salty air and the way the wind never seems to rest. One afternoon, you decide to take a walk to clear your head. You’re passing a small football field when, out of nowhere, something smacks into the side of your head. A football. You blink, slightly stunned, and look toward where it came from. A group of boys has gone quiet. One of them—a blond guy with messy hair and an apologetic expression—breaks away from the group and comes running over. “Oh my god, I’m so sorry,” he says, slightly out of breath. “Are you okay? I didn’t mean to— I mean, it totally wasn’t on purpose.” He introduces himself as Matthy and insists on making sure you’re really fine, even offering to walk you home if you need it. That moment somehow turns into more. Over the next few months, you start seeing him everywhere—at the bakery, near the harbor, back at the football field. Conversations become longer, laughter easier. Before you know it, you’re close. Really close. Now he’s standing in your house, helping you renovate it. Again. Paint cans are scattered across the floor, the room smells strongly of fresh white paint, and Matthy is focused on painting one of your walls, sleeves rolled up, a faint streak of paint already on his arm. You watch him for a second, then dip your finger into the paint without saying a word.

INTRODUCTION New Year’s Eve was supposed to be simple. Just family, good food, and the quiet promise of a fresh start. At least, that was what Romy thought—until she realized her parents had each invited a guest. Bart arrived first, nervous but smiling, carrying a bottle of sparkling cider and years of unspoken feelings. Jip followed not long after, confident, charming, and impossible to ignore. Neither boy knew about the other’s invitation, and Romy’s heart skipped when she understood what this night might become. Dinner was filled with laughter, clinking glasses, and glances that lingered a little too long. As the clock edged closer to midnight, Bart finally stood up and asked Romy to step outside. Under the cold winter sky, with fireworks already whispering in the distance, he felt it was now or never. He wanted to tell her everything. But five minutes later, the door opened again. Jip followed them into the night, carrying his own confession, his own hope for what the new year could bring. Two boys. One girl. One moment that could change everything. Who truly wants Romy—and more importantly, who does Romy want? Bart? Jip? Or does she want both of the boys?

INTRODUCTION Samuel: singer from the Netherlands, 19 years old. You: 18 years old, just a normal girl in the city Amsterdam. On your way home, you unexpectedly run into Samuel Welten. He’s just coming back from a show he performed, and it’s clear he’s completely exhausted. After chatting for a bit, he decides to walk home with you. Since it’s already late and he’s worn out, you offer him the couch in your living room for the night. He gratefully accepts. The next morning, you wake up early and prepare breakfast. Samuel joins you, still a little sleepy but clearly more relaxed than the night before. You spend the morning talking, laughing, and enjoying a calm breakfast together. Not long after, he thanks you for your hospitality and heads back home. About a week later, you get back in touch and decide to meet up again. This time, you go to a game hall together. You spend hours playing games, teasing each other, and having fun. At one of the machines, Samuel wins a prize and insists on giving it to you as a souvenir of the day. Later on, he invites you to come backstage at one of his shows. You get to see a whole different side of his world: the preparation, the nerves, and the excitement right before he goes on stage. After the show ends and the crowd slowly disappears, he invites you along to his afterparty.

INTRODUCTION Everyone knew the Bankzitters. With over 1.28 million followers, they weren’t just a YouTube group anymore — they were everywhere. Online, on stage, in group chats people would kill to be part of. And everyone also knew one other thing: all of them had girlfriends… except one. Matthyas “het Lam.” Matthy. I never expected my name to end up anywhere near theirs. That night started simple enough. A concert ticket. VIP access. And my best friend Roxy Dekker lighting up the stage like she always did. Standing next to Koen van Heest — her boyfriend, one of the Bankzitters — she looked completely at home under the lights. Backstage, the VIP section buzzed with familiar faces. Koen and Roxy, Milo and his girlfriend, Raoul laughing loudly, Robbie filming everything for his story. And then there was Matthy — leaning casually against the railing, hoodie on, soft smile, eyes scanning the crowd like he didn’t quite realize how many people were watching him. From the first song, we vibed. No awkward small talk. No forced energy. Just singing along to every lyric, laughing when Roxy hyped the crowd, sharing looks during our favorite songs. At some point, it felt like the rest of the VIP section faded away — like it was just us, music pounding through the floor, lights flashing overhead. By the end of the night, I was added to everything. The group WhatsApp. Snapchat streaks. Inside jokes I didn’t even understand yet. I went home smiling, thinking nothing more of it. Until the fan accounts noticed. By the next morning, my phone was blowing up. Screenshots. Tags. DMs. TikToks dissecting every moment from the concert. Zoomed-in clips of Matthy and me singing together. Captions asking the same question over and over again: “Is this Matthy’s new girlfriend?” I tried to laugh it off — until a message popped up on my screen.

NTRODUCTION: Liam: Your dad. He is a single father, 34 years old, and he loves you more than anything in the world. He would do absolutely anything to protect you and keep you safe. You: You are Liam’s daughter. You are 18 years old, and you really love your dad. He is your best friend, and you feel safest when you’re with him. STORY: You and your dad are going on a vacation together to Greece. It’s something you’ve both been looking forward to for a long time. You want to relax, explore beautiful places, and make memories together. When you arrive, everything feels perfect—the warm sun, the blue sea, and the peaceful atmosphere. You stay together in a hotel, sharing laughs and talking late into the night about life, memories, and dreams for the future. It feels like the perfect vacation. But then something terrible happens. While driving to see a famous beach, you get into a serious car accident. Everything happens so fast. When you wake up again, you are in a hospital bed. You are in a coma, surrounded by machines and quiet beeping sounds. Your dad never leaves your side. He talks to you every day, holds your hand, and tells you how much he loves you. The doctor tells Liam that you might wake up in two weeks… or you might not wake up at all.

INTRODUCTION Manou - 19, blonde curly hair, brown eyes and she’s your neighbor. She’s an influencer on TikTok, Instagram and Snapchat. You - Mark, 23, blonde middle parted hair, brown eyes. You’re an influencer on YouTube, Instagram and TikTok. On your way home from work, you notice a girl sitting alone on a bench. Her blonde curls frame her face, but her brown eyes are red from crying. You stop and ask if she’s okay. Her name is Manou. She tells you her parents are in the middle of a messy divorce, the fights at home unbearable. She didn’t want to go back. You offer her a place to stay for the night. At your apartment, you make tea and talk for hours—about work, social media, and how lonely life can feel behind perfect Instagram posts. The tension slowly fades, replaced by comfort and understanding. That night, she sleeps peacefully on your couch. The next morning, she’s in the kitchen making coffee, smiling softly. For the first time in a while, she feels safe. And you both sense this unexpected meeting might be the start of something real.

INTRODUCTION ⸻ Dylan has warm brown eyes and brown hair that falls neatly in a middle part, giving him a relaxed but confident look. You have long, flowing blonde hair and soft brown eyes, which give you an open and friendly appearance. You’ve just arrived at a campsite with your best friend, excited for a few carefree days away. Your small holiday cabin turns out to be right next to the cabin of a group of boys. You exchange a few curious glances as you all arrive around the same time. After unpacking your bags and settling in, you and your friend make something simple to eat and talk about how the week might turn out. Not long after dinner, there’s a knock on the door. One of the boys from next door is standing there, smiling, and asks if you’d like to go out with them that evening. After a quick look at each other, you and your friend happily agree. Later that night, you all go out together. The music is loud, the atmosphere is relaxed, and everyone is having a good time. You find yourself talking and dancing a lot with the oldest guy in the group—Dylan. There’s an easy connection between you, lots of laughter, lingering looks, and playful touches as you dance.

INTRODUCTION You’ve spent every summer at your grandparents’ place, but this year feels different the moment you arrive. The quiet street, the warm air, the familiar porch—everything looks the same, yet somehow new. And then you meet her. Macy, the girl next door. She’s bright, funny, and impossibly easy to talk to. Within a day, she’s dragging you into her world, introducing you to the people who fill her summer—her friend group. Three boys, one other girl… and him. Jay Kelso. He’s got that easy smile, that laid-back charm, and somehow he just gets you. The two of you click instantly—quick jokes, shared looks, those long conversations that stretch way past sunset. It feels natural… maybe even a little electric. Before long, you’re not just part of the group. You’re part of something deeper—something that might be more than friendship.

INTRODUCTION “My life turned upside down the day my dad—yes, Frenkie de Jong—told me we were moving to Barcelona for his career at FC Barcelona. I wasn’t excited. New city, new language, new everything. But everything changed the moment I met one of his teammates… Gavi. Suddenly, Barcelona didn’t feel so bad after all.”

You’re moving to another city. You end up at a new school and walk into the classroom. You’re allowed to sit next to a boy named Liam. He calls you “hey cutie.” You tell him to stop calling you that because you have a boyfriend — but he lives far away. Liam says that the two of you will never last much longer anyway, because you know how those things usually end. A week later you come to school with red eyes, and he asks what’s wrong. You tell him that your boyfriend broke up with you because you were spending too much time with Liam. A few days later you two make plans to have a sleepover at your place, because Liam helped you get through the past few days.

You (Romy) work at a holiday park as part of the animation team. While you’re there, you also get to give tennis lessons, and one of the animation staff members helps you out. His name is Sem. From the start, there’s an instant connection between you two — the kind of easy chemistry that makes every shift more fun. You laugh together, tease each other, and before long, you start going out in the evenings to explore the park and just enjoy being around each other. Eventually, your boss wants to meet him and see who’s been spending so much time with you. She approves right away and says it’s perfectly fine for you to hang out, as long as it’s on the campsite. About a week later, after late-night talks, shared smiles, and quiet moments together, you both realize what’s been growing between you — and that’s when your friendship or relationship truly begins.

You were at a campsite and somehow got yourself stuck in a climbing frame — you’d gone in there for your nephew, your sister’s son. A little later, two guys walked by. One of them, Mitch, started laughing, while the other, Luke, came over to help you out. You ended up talking for a while, and before leaving, he gave you his Snapchat so you could join him and his group from the campsite later that evening.
