WATTPAD ORIGINAL EDITION When her initiation into her college's History Club goes awry, Sol has to come face to face with Ethan-the cute guy whose house she just broke into. ***** Soledad Gutierrez, or Sol to her friends, decides to join the History Club at her Community college. However, this club is not like other clubs: they have an initiation process and a slew of other 'extracurricular activities.' In order to join the club, Sol must break into the oldest house in her small Californian town and steal one of their forks. The club members provide all the materials to break in; she just needs to take the utensil, take a selfie in the kitchen, and get out undetected-with the fork, of course. The problem is: Ethan Winston spots Sol in his grandparent's house, and he's determined to uncover the reason behind the break-in. However, both he and Sol are thrown for a loop when feelings begin to develop between them. And as Ethan becomes suspicious of the History Club, he and Sol get tangled in an adventure none of them were expecting.

WATTPAD BOOKS EDITION. It only takes one moment to change your life forever . . . After her mother's deportation last year, all Soledad "Sol" Gutierrez wants is for her life to go back to normal. Everything's changed-new apartment, new school, new family dynamic-and Sol desperately wants to fit in. When she joins her community college's history club, it comes with an odd initiation process: break into Westray's oldest house and steal . . . a fork? There's just one problem: while the owners of the house aren't home, their grandson Ethan is, and when he catches Sol with her hand in the kitchen drawer, she barely escapes with the fork intact. This one chance encounter irrevocably alters her life, and Sol soon learns that sometimes fitting in isn't as important as being yourself-even if that's the hardest thing she's ever had to do.

Two alliances, comprised of four major political entities and countless smaller nations, have been locked in a protracted war for years, neither able to gain a decisive advantage. As time passes and two brilliant commanders emerge, the situation changes, and Earth is finally drawn into this chaotic conflict. Dazzling high technology, artificial intelligence, life-saving drugs, gene therapy, and surreal games, accompanied by the looming shadow of interstellar war-is this a trap or a new beginning? The choice rests in the hands of every Earthling. Some are doubtful, some are opposed, and some are filled with anticipation. Regardless, a new chapter has begun. Can Earth integrate into interstellar civilization? How will it face the impending war? This is pure science fiction, not a wish-fulfillment story. There are no cheat codes, no time travel, no monster-slaying or leveling up, no harem, and no single male and female protagonist. Instead, it features multiple storylines. This work is merely a speculation about various future political systems and lifestyles. The descriptions of interstellar war are simply my own imagination and may differ from readers' expectations. I have tried to measure future warfare according to current laws of physics; of course, there are no outdated weapons like laser swords or fantastical weapons like two-dimensional foils. Beyond war and technology, this book explores various aspects of human nature: greed, fear, lust, power... It also features futuristic love, brotherhood, human-machine relationships, and clone romances... as well as international strategies and conspiracies. I hope you enjoy this book.

a collection of experiences and relationships of a group of teens in the city of new buffalo, washington who meet at high school.

In 1905, Małgorzata Ośiecka is the privileged daughter of a Polish count living in Russian-controlled Lutsk. Raised in comfort despite her nation's loss of independence, she never imagines that revolution will shatter the world she knows. When political unrest strips her family of their wealth and forces them to flee their homeland, Małgorzata is thrust into a life of hardship far removed from the aristocratic upbringing she once took for granted. After immigrating to America, tragedy follows the Ośiecki family at every turn. Faced with poverty, discrimination, and devastating personal losses, Małgorzata must rebuild her life while struggling to preserve her identity in a country that views her as an outsider. Seeking a fresh start in the American West, she encounters Red Falcon, a young Blackfoot man whose people have endured many of the same injustices that her own family experienced. As their friendship deepens into something more, Małgorzata must choose between the expectations of her family and society or the future she wishes to create for herself. Spanning two continents and a period of profound social change, this historical novel is a story of displacement, resilience, identity, and the search for belonging in a world transformed by revolution and prejudice.

On Lagos Island in the late 1970s, a young Yoruba couple moves into a tightly knit family compound where privacy is forbidden and secrets never stay buried.

Earth has fallen. When the planet crosses its final climate tipping point, temperatures rise, crops fail, and billions are forced onto the move. Diplomacy gives way to ultimatums, then to war. From unassuming laboratories to streets drowning in heat and hunger, a fractured world stumbles toward its final reckoning. As famine and conflict spread, international order dissolves into violence and blame, and armies march north through ruins chasing a future that no longer exists. Yet amid the despair, a radical plan takes shape to move a fragment of humanity to the red sands of Mars. As Earth burns and the heavens fill with refugees, one truth becomes unavoidable: the future belongs only to those willing to sacrifice everything. In the chaos of the apocalypse, a new kind of security service is needed to enforce order where nations have failed. From the ashes of Old Earth, the Sunguard rises. Scorched Earth is a sweeping hard-science epic about collapse, survival, and the cost of choosing a future when the present is already lost.

In 2024, I left the Philippines for California, carrying credentials, fifteen years of teaching, and the expectation that my life would continue more or less where it left off. It didn't. We'll See What Grows is a collection of eleven essays about what happens in the gap - between who you were and who you're becoming, between the place you left and the place that hasn't yet become home, between the faith that brought you here and the silence that followed. These essays are not about having answers. They are about learning to live without them: the meal that disappears in ten minutes without comment, the school gate where nobody knows your name, the father who wrote things down instead of speaking, whose diary is in a room you haven't been in since you left. This is not a devotional. It is not an immigrant success story. It is something quieter - the record of a man trying to take root in borrowed ground, one ordinary day at a time.

Experiencing the same events through their own pre-trained sets of eyes, guided by the filters already in place - those shaped by memory, bias, and belief. They might or they might not.. But one thing is certain: it would be a night to remember. be a fly on the wall in every room where action takes place, make sure not to miss anything. Point of View. a novella by Mikael Kino
