Sleaze Academia Novels & Stories

Though I suppose it isn’t very honest of me to want her intentions to be clear when mine aren’t. “Apology accepted, Isak. I can’t hold you accountable simply for the company you keep.” Hana smiled. “It isn’t your fault that Professors Weeber and McCabe are known sluts.” “Hana.” Pamela snorted and laughed. “You don’t need to slut shame.” “Oh please, they know their reputations. Weeber was even so bold as to approach me after class. Yale has rules about such things.” Hana rolled her eyes, taking the water I assumed Malcolm provided.

she says in her silken French accent, “what brings you here... illegally?” “Nothing,” Ellie blurts, panicked, as she grabs my wrist and tugs like she wants us to run. Ms. Lovelace raises a single eyebrow, her stare unwavering. She leans back slightly, resting her hip against her desk with calculated ease. “I might be a boring old teacher, Miss Ellie, but I’m not stupid. I was a young girl once, too. Though I wasn’t a student at the most strict university in the world.” She pauses. Her gaze sharpens. “You do understand, don’t you, that your future could be over the moment you’re caught snooping? There are no second chances here. The Academy does not forgive mistakes.”

He gripped it tighter and tighter until his whole body trembled. Hansel remembered what Tina had mentioned about the scandal on the campus forum. He sat up abruptly and grabbed his phone. After ten minutes of scrolling, he couldn't find the original post since it had been deleted. However, he still found several screenshots of the comments. "She's the ultimate seductress of the academic world…" "Who knows how she got those research papers." "Will the college keep turning a blind eye to this disgraceful behavior? The academic world will end up in a cesspool if this continues."

Savannah said, with a hard glare. “Okay, okay! Jeez … what kind of best friend do you have, babe?” Avan asked, with a mischievous grin, stealing one last glance at me again before finally focusing on the road. I just giggled, loving the sibling energy he and Savannah always had whenever we were together. Without another word, Avan drove us through the grand entrance of Werewolf Academia. I was amazed by the way the campus sprawled with majestic Gothic buildings, lush forests, and manicured lawns.

The backlash began subtly a critical review of Yael's participatory witnessing methodology in a confederation-affiliated journal, questions about the Verdant Archive's funding sources raised at an academic conference, whispers that Selene Thorne had "lost her way" after Kael's death. Then it became less subtle. "They're calling us a cult," Amara announced, her voice tight with anger as she read from her tablet. "The Supernatural Studies Quarterly just published an editorial titled 'When Founders Fall: The Dangerous Romance of Anti-Institutionalism.'"

he adds, almost as if he's handing down a legacy she should be proud of. Zuria takes the papers silently, the embossed emblem pressing into her fingertips like a brand. The parchment is thick and pristine, smelling faintly of ink and old money, carrying a formality that feels suffocating. It isn't an opportunity it's a sentence. An exile dressed up in ambition. The Academy has a reputation that borders on legend: a fortress for the gifted and the broken alike, its sprawling campus shrouded in mist and secrets, hidden away behind gates that seem to groan with the weight of the expectations they protect.

She had practically rewritten his academic papers, tutoring him and making him look far smarter than he actually was just so he could secure a competitive edge. It was her brainpower, her sleepless nights, and her hard work that had built his resume from scratch. She had been a truly dumb, blind fool. She had fallen for his sweet words and selflessly helped him, all so he could secure a coveted spot in the most prestigious institution in the country. And what exactly was Velmora Academy? It was the ultimate breeding ground for the elite. Every single person who graduated from its halls went on to secure a high-ranking position in the city, the state, or the government.

“I… I should go.” He chuckled, a low, rich sound that vibrated through me. “Already? The night was so short.” His eyes held a dangerous glint, a challenge. “I have… class prep,” I lied, weakly. My first class wasn't for days, but the lie felt necessary. A flimsy shield. He raised an eyebrow, a flicker of amusement in his eyes. “Of course. Academia calls.” The way he said "academia" made it sound like a dirty word, or a secret joke between us. He knew. He knew I knew.

I crossed my legs, then uncrossed them, my hands twisting in my lap. "You’ve put me in a very difficult position," he said, finally leaning back. He crossed his arms, the fabric of his shirt straining against his biceps. "Academic fraud is an expulsion-level offense. The board doesn't care about 'desperate circumstances.' They care about the prestige of this institution." "Please," I said, my voice cracking. "I’ve worked so hard to be here. I just... I was exhausted. I thought if I made the paper stand out, you’d finally—"

“No trauma talk today. Not yet. Today, we’re doing pizza, ridiculous topics, and pretending we don’t have finals breathing down our necks.” Lea nods in agreement, already calling the waiter. “Amen to that.” And just like that, we fall into our old rhythm. We talk about everything and nothing. The absurd drama of campus rumors, carefully avoiding anything that concerns me. The professor who swears by handwritten essays. Jace’s newfound obsession with dark academia aesthetics. Lea’s debate over dyeing her hair rose gold. For a little while, it’s like nothing broke at all. We eat, we laugh, we tease—and the cracks in my chest feel just a little smaller.
