As a Wattpad reader, you can also now access the Original Edition for free and the Wattpad Books Published Edition here upon purchase. It's the last year of high school, and everything has changed . . . ***** After a summer spent in the Philippines, Lara Dela Cruz is eager to start her senior year and, most importantly, reunite with her three besties. But what she did not expect was to show up on the first day of school to all three of her friends now in relationships. Fighting for their attention, catching some new and confusing feelings for long-time frenemy James, and wading through the pressures of post-high-school plans all have Lara reeling. And to make matters worse, Lara's beautiful and untrustworthy cousin conveniently appears and wiggles her way right between her and James' budding relationship. Feeling like a third wheel in more ways than one, Lara must learn to accept that change is inevitable, love is complicated, and being the odd one out is sometimes where inner power is found.

"Wow! Sounds like a lot of fun!" he exclaims and my heart dies. "What did you say?" He cannot be serious right now. He is not supposed to think that this is going to be fun. He is supposed laugh in my face then head downstairs to his group of friends and distract every girl in the cafeteria with his freaking face. That is how it's supposed to go. "Yeah, I'll be your date thing." NO. This is not how it's supposed to go. *** Carmen Estrella is NOT a party animal. No, no, no. She'd much rather stay home on her couch or hang out with her friends in a much more "low-key" manner. If she's feeling adventurous, maybe she'll even make it past her driveway. Definitely not interested in the party scene. So when Carmen's family and persistent 70-year-old grandmother insists on her having a Debut party for her 18th birthday, she doesn't hesitate before disagreeing. Unable to back out of the Filipino tradition, Carmen finds herself in a compromising situation of trying to find her Court of Honour and personal Escort when she hasn't spoken to the male population since birth. The plan? Ask Brennan Coleman, the most popular boy at school, get rejected, and fake being heartbroken so that her family will back off. However, when "the plan" doesn't go as planned, and Brennan miraculously agrees to be her date, Carmen finds herself pushed into the world of Filipino chaos, party planning, and handling Brennan Coleman at the same time. Meanwhile, they might even learn a thing or two about what it means to live in a diverse society. TW: some parts dealing with racism and racial slurs, colourism, homophobia and transphobia, mental illnesses (eating disorders and suicide), and acts of violence. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK.

After waking up one day on the beach of a place known as Hisui, you find a charmingly innocent boy named Rei who happens on you and introduced you to a strange world by the name of Hisui. The only memories you have are two things: Your name and the strange term 'Team Galactic'. What in the world could it possibly mean? And what are these feelings that envelope you when you're around Rei? Explore the region of Hisui with Rei by your side, discovering more about yourself and the new adventures that spread before you. - - - As always, I don't own Pokémon or any other Nintendo things. While the storyline is loosely based on Pokémon Legends: Arceus, I own the story otherwise. Also, this will contain minor spoilers for the game and dialogue, but it won't follow the exact plot.

Mission one: talk to the edgelord in the shadows. Can (Y/N) complete her life goal to make everyone she knows smile? Gladion, a scowling blond who struggles to find happiness in life just needs a push from someone to find joy... according to (Y/N). Can she really manage to break through Gladion's tough-as-stone exterior? A shame she's more than a little dense, and rather clumsy in comparison to the cold and skeptical Gladion... Well, I guess we'll see if it turns out! - - - This is my second Gladion fan fiction, but this story is not related to the other in any way. It isn't a continuation or a sequel or anything like that. Also, this will be loosely based on the events of the Pokemon SM/USUM video game, rather than manga or anime like previously. Usually updates every Sunday!
