GirlxGirl • COMPLETED ✔︎ Quietly transferring to a new school like a little Ms. Nobody is my only dream-to be able to study quietly and live my life at peace. But one day, my desire to be a low-key nerdy student abruptly changed when I met a girl-not just a girl but an arrogant, bully, and callous one who also made my heart beat rapidly for the first time in my whole life-the very first time I saw her. It was exciting and, at the same time...terrifying. - Lorraine Dela Cruz I don't tell people who I am; I show them what I am. I'm a bad and heartless bitch-a bully, vicious, and a nightmare for every single soul that comes my way. But despite that, all of the people inside and outside the university praise my, oh, so goddamn gorgeous body and beauty. And the last time I checked, things were perfect. But unexpectedly, my life shifted when, out of nowhere, I met the badoy and stupid girl who first made my heart beat fast and, at the same time, made it so good. - Astrid Monteverde Date Publish: 03/27/21 Date Finish: 07/28/21 Plagiarism is a crime All Rights Reserved 2021 - mis_shyghurl ☠︎︎

"Some people only meet once. We met twice-when we didn't know who we were yet." Everything felt dark to Ilary, as if she were living inside a monochrome, automated world-one where life moved, but she remained still. Cynical and quietly observant, she carried secrets no one noticed. An ordinary student. A nobody. Just someone trying to survive her own thoughts while searching for a way out of her mind. Introverted, with social anxiety that made even small interactions feel heavy, Ilary never expected anything to change. Until one day, something shifted. In a fleeting moment, she caught sight of a woman-composed, clean, confident. Beautiful. Just a glance. Just long enough to matter. Ilary wanted to say something. Anything. But the moment passed-and the woman disappeared. She tried to find her again, returning to the same places, hoping for another chance. But the woman never came back. Eventually, Ilary stopped looking. A year passed. They met again. This time, Ilary didn't just learn her name. She learned her identity. Celian-her class adviser and Contemporary Arts teacher. From that moment on, Ilary was forced to be careful. To stay respectful. To draw lines where her feelings wanted none. What she felt had to remain unspoken, weighed constantly against what was right, what was allowed, and what was impossible. Do her feelings matter at all? Or will Ilary choose to walk away-once again-leaving everything unsaid, unresolved, and unfinished? --------------------- We Met Twice In August is a quiet, autobiographical story about timing, restraint, longing, and meeting someone before you know who you are. 🥇 First autobiographical story Note: I hope everyone enjoys reading this. I'm not really the type of person to share-but I hope the real-life Celian Grace Mancilla gets to read this one day. Drafted: 2025 Published on Wattpad: February 2026 Finished: -

Only, she never makes it. Mid-Atlantic, a mysterious accident sends Jessie hurtling to what should be a watery grave. Rescued from the ocean, Jessie is lucky to be alive. Only problem? The crew of the ship she's on is convinced it's a sailing vessel that just narrowly missed out on participating in the Battle of Trafalgar. Stuck in Regency-era England, Jessie is left with no choice but to enter into the services of as a maid and companion in return for what shelter her new employer can provide, and resign herself to a life of quiet servitude and forever hiding her sexuality.

Margaret - and her main characters - are turning into irresistibly headstrong and modern women. Jessie must tread the tenuous line between finding her own happiness in a world where she is alone, and accidentally changing the course of history. Should Jessie suppress the manuscript, or is her duty to the woman she's learning to love? What is a twenty first century gal to do? * Cover Photo: Jenn LeBlanc & Getty Images Original Cover by: @RodneyVSmith
