She'd shown up at the bookstore every day since the start of the winter season with a pen, a journal, and a pad of post-it notes stuffed in her bag. She spoke in metaphors, and sarcasm rolled off of her tongue like it was second nature to her. Her name was December, and Greyson Kaye couldn't keep himself from falling hopelessly in love with her.

This is a book of some poems I've written recently. Some are about me, some are about books, and some are about something else entirely. Either way, I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them.

Sick of cliché Wattpad books? Then this isn't the book for you. We take every single over-used plot, character and trope on Wattpad - from player-meets-nerd to my-boyfriend-is-a-vampire - and mash it all into one, awful, hilarious parody. NOTE: This is a parody. Characters have not been created to mock a race/nationality/sexuality, they have been created to lightly poke fun at the way certain teen fiction writers reduce them into crude stereotypes. Thanks for helping this pile of junk get to #1 in Humor!

Azra has just turned sixteen, and overnight her body lengthens, her olive skin deepens, and her eyes glisten gold thanks to the brand-new silver bangle that locks around her wrist.

But behind closed doors, she’s learning how to harness her powers and fulfill the obligations of her destiny. Mentored by her mother and her Zar “sisters,” Azra discovers she may not be quite like the rest of her circle of female Jinn . . . and that her powers could endanger them all.

When I was born, I had no idea what the hard life that was planned out for my future would be like. When I was six, a strange, feminine voice that didn't sound human began to visit me in my dreams. When I woke up from that dream, I could understand what every living thing around me was saying, even Pokemon. When I was eighteen, my father was murdered in his lab, and his killer was never found. When the police told my mother and I to give up hope since the killer didn't leave a trace, neither of us did, but we decided to move back to our hometown in Kalos close to my uncle. And on my first day in Vaniville Town, I met the man I would soon make my best friend, and who would help me cope with my loss and eventually save Kalos from a hidden evil named Team Flare. And his name was Calem Xavier. {kalosshipping fanfic; cover art was edited by me}

Both girl and Pokemon go through a self transformation, and they fill the hole in each other's empty heart. In this short story, an ugly caterpillar becomes a beautiful butterfly. And a "weak" Pokemon will be no longer undesirable... Because at least he's found one girl who will love him. All they have is each other, and they're going to stick together through the very end.
