The Grove is a Wattpad Featured Story. Fifteen-year-old Fuchsia speaks like an average teen navigating the usual drama, but her community of tribes called The Grove is an even more terrifying place to be than the halls of high school. The two major events in a tribe member's life are being pollinated, if you're lucky, and being picked, if you're not. Watching heads roll on a daily basis, Cord, a healer's son wise beyond his years, teaches Fuchsia how to break the rules of their limited society to support an underground movement with ancient roots. Romance and satire twist like vines as Fuchsia and Cord trade illegal secrets, sacrificing it all to save their tribes from a fate worse than death while stealing passionate moments in the meadow. Forced to choose sides in a century-old war that has ravaged the land, Fuchsia must put her fleeting life where her words are and hope the outcome will outlive the season. What a revelation! And one I definitely didn't see coming.

(FEATURED) It's been months since the unceremonious fall of Kimie Sato's older sister. The whole of Ridgerock High knows it, and by now, the majority have moved on. But Kimie still watches those who had a hand in it continue to walk free, and the more she observes, the angrier she gets. Fueled by a thirst for revenge, she decides she's had enough and goes after them, one by one. Her plan is simple: Revive her sister's old blog, spy on the culprits for their juiciest secrets, and air them out. Give them a taste of their own medicine. But then one of her targets turns up dead, and fellow animation club member (and longtime crush), West, gets in on her plan. As she struggles to see her plan through to the end, remain anonymous, and fight her growing affection for multiple boys, she realizes she's not the only player in the game she's created. And her opponent may not mind her being dead. CW: violence, mental illness, brief mention of cancer.

What is hope? By dictionary definition it is: 1. to look forward to with confidence or expectation, or 2. to believe or desire.

But it's hard when I start to wonder if it is possible to find true love after multiple failed relationships. That's all I want... That's all I hope for. Cover by: @silver_lining86

Most of all, he should seriously stop kissing her back. -- This is what happens when Cupid's arrow misses its mark: two teens from different worlds collide.

This is a collection of short stories that are about places I would like to one day visit, but for now there are all chapters of my imagination. I am the Grl heard around the world! This is actually written for my Great Uncle Atty. Pio Frago to read. We live in two different parts of the world, and this is my way to reach him. It is also a collection of stories I wrote to keep my (virtual ticket) going per se! As a baby, I was personified as the little girl who 'cried' around the world by an airplane passenger in Hawaii. And in a way, I still like to get my 'voice' heard, but now through words in a story and my poetry. So, if you are willing to join me for a 'virtual ride' to a place I call my own, please do. My Grandpa passed away on Aug. 15, 2017.
