When an influencer meets (and falls for) a social media skeptic, she has to decide whether to keep her masks on ― or finally show the world her real self. ⋆☆⋆ Krista Ming has perfected the art of duality. She's a bookish introvert by day and a nebulous mix of Instagram influencer and model and club promoter by night. Juggling Pre-Medical school, two jobs, and her family's high expectations with her cool grace, sharp humour and compassion, everyone loves Krista. Except Quentin Cheng. He hates social media influencers. Krista plots and plans to change his mind, but how much can she do before she loses sight of herself? ⋆☆⋆ [ @WattpadExplorer's Editor's Pick List October 2021 ] [ @Wattpad's College Romances List September 2022 ] [ @Wattpad's Campus Life, Campus Love List August 2023 ] [ Halston University #3.

After one year at Bridewater College, Honoria Song likes to consider herself a veteran. She still has the same goals, but she's grown up a lot in the past year. Through thick and thin, though, she's made it, and this year was only going to be worse. The year for relaxation is over. In a matter of months she'd have her JCMs, and she'd be a liar if she said she wasn't terrified. But either way, she knew what she had to do. She couldn't stress herself out like she did last year. She couldn't fuck up again, or she'd be out of chances. Which is why she agreed to a tutoring deal with her (maybe) worst enemy Theodore Yu, despite his best friend Sebastian Hong still holding a grudge against her. But that's not the only thing going on. Between her best friend Yunji's attempts to raise her own confidence and move on from a longtime crush; Adelina, James and his new girlfriend's not-really-love-triangle love triangle; not to mention Nadia Sorren's sudden increasing friendliness despite all the hostility last year, it's a lot of things to deal with on the year one with the most important exams of your life. But it would all work out in the end. Honoria was sure of it. With exams, the Duelling Club, and friendship drama happening all at once, what wasn't to love at Bridewater College? completed. book 2 of the bridewater college duology [90,000 - 100,000 words]

Honoria Song was at Bridewater College with goals: good academic grades, a strong social network, to improve her magic and to try things she'd never dared to back home. Gone was the obedient, perfect daughter who'd never dared to venture out of her social circle. In her place was the new and improved Honoria, someone willing to take risks and push herself to her very limits in her pursuit of excellence. But England was no Hong Kong, and between the culture shock and change in environment, alongside the never ending stress of her JCMs (the magician's version of the GCSEs), she'll have to juggle the constantly evolving social scene of her new school alongside her newfound friendships and commitments. Her new friends were nothing like she'd expected. There's the shy and bitter Luo Yunji, a girl whose best friends were the instruments she held in her hand; rich and charismatic Adelina Roche, the envy of all, yet struggling with her family's crushing expectations and standards; James Withington, Adelina's childhood rival, a constant thorn in their side; James Taylor, quiet and observant and brilliant (but only in certain areas); the charming and cocky Sebastian Hong, who confuses her to no end; and mysterious and reserved Theodore Yu, the constant observer. But what was she here for, if not a challenge? karlie nyx 2022 summer project - completed book 1 of the bridewater college duology [90,000 - 100,000 words]

SALOME LAM had pined after Orion Ip for as long as she could remember. It was a way of life, a habit ingrained into her routine that felt completely and utterly natural. He was the boy next door, two years older, someone who was always just out of reach. She could try all she wanted, but she could never fit into his life. She could never quite be anything in Orion's world. And because life is cruel (or perhaps it was kind, since she was at least always in close proximity to him), they met at place after place, school after school, city after city. University was meant to be different. A brand new start, finally forgetting the boy carved so deeply in her heart, who hadn't even a clue the extent of Salome's feelings for him. If it was pointless, why not end it now? Why waste more time playing this game that yielded no result? But they're at the same place again. St Lucia's College at Oxford, where Salome can't escape him or the way he makes her heart pound. Except this time was different. As if he was actually noticing her. As if she wasn't just the little girl who lived next door, not quite a nuisance but also beneath his notice. Now they're talking and spending time together and he's initiating those interactions too. Salome had promised herself she'd forget, but how could she when it felt like this time, she truly had a chance? Perhaps, there was still time for one last try. Before Salome truly, for once and for all, decided to cut Orion Ip and those years between them out of her life. (bobas & lattes #2) readable as standalone
