« 𝑺𝒂𝒊𝒅 𝑰'𝒎 𝒇𝒊𝒏𝒆 𝒃𝒖𝒕 𝒊𝒕 𝒘𝒂𝒔𝒏'𝒕 𝒕𝒓𝒖𝒆. 𝑰 𝒅𝒐𝒏'𝒕 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒏𝒂 𝒌𝒆𝒆𝒑 𝒔𝒆𝒄𝒓𝒆𝒕𝒔 𝒋𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒌𝒆𝒆𝒑 𝒚𝒐𝒖. » It was the cruel summer of 2020. There wasn't much going on at the moment. Or at least that's what Emma thought up until meeting Bobby-a boy she never expected to meet, let alone fall for. But you know what they say-the heart wants what it wants, and sometimes that involves challenging everything you thought you knew about the world, especially when Emma believes that her world should be golden. She's got goals-Grammy winning kind of goals, that don't involve the kind of complications Bobby brings. And falling for Bobby was never part of the plan. Emma's weekends at her cousins' neighborhood was supposed to be carefree and simple. Not lying to sneak off elsewhere. What starts as something unexpected quickly becomes something she can't ignore... even when the secret slips. Because when feelings get involved, so do opinions, expectations, and the people who aren't afraid to make theirs known. Suddenly, growing up isn't as simple as it seems... especially when you're fifteen. « 𝑰 𝒔𝒏𝒖𝒄𝒌 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒈𝒂𝒓𝒅𝒆𝒏 𝒈𝒂𝒕𝒆 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚 𝒏𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒔𝒖𝒎𝒎𝒆𝒓 𝒋𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒔𝒆𝒂𝒍 𝒎𝒚 𝒇𝒂𝒕𝒆.

Up until she turned 15, Emma's life was ordinary. Living in Los Angeles, she had a few friends, and loved learning history. She had a fascination with magic growing up, but after elementary, she moved on from the foolish idea, learning the hard way that magic isn't real and that it's only a lie Hollywood had fed her. But her whole perspective shifted again after the passing of her grandpa. She discovered that he had kept a secret from his whole family-that he once was a warlock. He had given up that life when he moved to L.A. in the 1970s, but Emma and her cousin Carolina are determined to learn every trick in the spell book he left behind. Fast forward to a year later, Emma's life takes a new turn. During junior year, a mysterious new student from San Bernardino catches her eye. He's mysterious, intriguing, and mostly keeps to himself, but why? It's what she wonders every day when they cross paths. Who in Glendale would want to be so secretive, anyway? Bobby Staten-that's who. Due to Bobby's classic leather jacket and dark aesthetic, Emma and her friends constantly joke that maybe he's a vampire and that's the secret he's hiding. It's no longer funny when a series of gruesome killings occur at Verdugo High, described by local officers as a bloody mark found on the necks of the victims. Strangely, this same pattern had appeared earlier in spring at a San Bernardino High School. Coincidence? Rebecca, Emma's other cousin, thinks not. Rebecca quickly suspects a connection and begins investigating Bobby's past and persona. As Emma befriends him, she struggles to believe that someone like Bobby could be capable of crimes so vicious. Rebecca reminds her that one of the only ways to permanently kill a vampire is with a stake through the heart-in much more poetic terms, heart right through Verdugo.

A song I wrote about Heather ( she's such an Angel )

"𝑰'𝒎 𝒔𝒐𝒓𝒓𝒚 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒔𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒊𝒏 𝑮𝒍𝒆𝒏𝒅𝒂𝒍𝒆 𝒐𝒓 𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒇𝒂𝒓" I can say that I've been Miss Sweet Misery for the last time, except this was just the start back when California dreamin' was our scheme during a hectic global pandemic. Love stories are overrated, and yes, this is one of them. A really strange one, actually. But it's also so much more than just a love story. It's a story of eight star-crossed teens brought together by the cities of Glendale and Los Angeles when we probably should've been staying at home... but the friendship was so strong, how could we possibly not see each other every week? There were crazy adventures and there were crazy confessions, and yes, there was also heartbreak. It's all part of a cliche coming of age and this was ours. - yours truly, Emma Suarez INSPIRED BY: minor + IMYIS by Gracie Abrams and Love Story by Taylor Swift. 2026 update: A lot of the earlier chapters were worded super bad and not very YA sounding, but I'm working on making it less poetic/word vomit and more natural for a teenage pov!

2 years following the covid-19 lockdown, 16 year old Isabel De La Cruz feels fumbled and overwhelmed about school re-opening again. Sure, she might be attending Hollywood Performing Arts High, which is a dream come true, but daily encounters with her ex, Harry Goldwyn, is what she loathes about the situation. He's already let her down twice and she's not willing to hurt again, all for the name of love. For Harry, what once felt like home sweet home, now feels like foreign land, with the occasional hint of deja vu. He only moved back from New York in hopes of winning Isabel's heart back. What will it take for Isabel to act less harsh towards the dumbfounded boy and finally forgive him for all his wrongs he never meant to make in the first place? All Harry wants is another chance to make it up to the only girl he's ever truly ever loved. Third's the charm, but is this all too much to ask? Revolving around the fictional setting of Hollywood Performing Arts in Los Angeles, 2 teenagers and their friends stumble through what seems to be a coming of age coveted in clarity. 4 years truly is a long time for everything to change since their initial encounter. With the occasional hint of deja vu, are past mistakes capable of being repaired? ~ Re-write of my 2022 original story 'Deja Vu; ~
