Realistic-fiction Stories

Leena Ayari has spent years hiding behind silence - after her fiancé shattered her self-worth and taught her that love hurts more than it heals. Now in her final year at Syveria Crest Academy, she wants nothing more than to graduate quietly and stay invisible. Then there's Professor Damon Vashiro - sharp, composed, and distant. His lectures command attention, his eyes give nothing away. But behind the walls he's built lies a past he's never shared - one that left him just as wary of love as Leena. What begins as quiet admiration turns into something neither of them expected - a connection built not on desire, but on understanding. Yet in a world where lines aren't meant to be crossed, even gentle feelings can be dangerous. Two guarded hearts. One forbidden connection. And a love that feels less like temptation... and more like coming home. This story is my original work, shared here on Wattpad for readers to enjoy.

Rhett Price is usually the culprit, but, this time, he might be the solution. ***** Brooke 'Brie' Sheridan wouldn't necessarily call herself a hopeless romantic; after all, love is everywhere if you choose to look for it, and there's nothing wrong with wanting to see the beauty and the good in the world. However, her rose-colored lenses are shattered when her boyfriend dumps her right at the start of her final year of college, ruining all her plans for her senior project, and here lie Brie's hopes, dreams, and pieces of her broken heart. Enter Rhett Price--known commitment-phobe, the bane of Brie's existence, and the reason behind many of her late-night crying sessions during the harshest days of high school. Down on his luck and struggling with improving his reputation, he turns to Brie in a time of need--he'll help her out with her project, and she'll help him look better and more responsible in the eyes of his family. Old feelings resurface, and it quickly becomes obvious there are certain things you don't always get over. Your first love might as well be one of them. ***** BENNINGTON COLLEGE SERIES #1 [[4X WATTPAD FEATURED STORY]] © 2023 caterina george // all rights reserved

Hyunjin doesn't mean to end up in the small gallery tucked between a bakery and an alleyway- but it's raining, and the door's open, and he's tired in a way he can't explain. Aeri doesn't recognize him. She's too busy trying to remember what it means to make art that feels like hers again. They don't talk much at first. Then they do. Not about everything, but about the things that matter. Sketchbooks are exchanged. Silence is shared. Somewhere in the middle of all that stillness, they start becoming something to each other. Not lovers. Not strangers. Just... safe. And when the world starts noticing, neither of them runs. They just stay exactly where they are. ૮₍ '• ˕ •' ₎ა This story is quiet on purpose. I started 'something that feels quiet' because I wanted to explore what it means to be known in silence, not because of who you are to the world, but because of who you are when no one's looking. It's not a story about grand confessions or fast-paced drama. It's about the small things: an unreadable look, the stillness between two people, the comfort of being seen without being recognized. Aeri and Hyunjin's connection isn't loud. It's soft and slow, like art you stand in front of for a long time before realizing why it moves you. If you've ever felt burnt out, like your presence takes up too much space, or maybe not enough, I hope this story gives you a moment of peace-something gentle, something still. Thank you for being here and for letting quiet things have space to bloom. - H

A coma. A secret love. A life forever changed. When Arjun wakes up in a hospital bed after a terrible accident, he has no idea that the life he knew is gone - or that Sameer, his best friend, has been by his side every single day.

Between heartbreak, guilt, and the weight of what's been lost, both men are forced to confront the question neither ever dared to ask: Can love survive when everything else is broken?

This is an English translation of my own fiction novel: Mari Kita Bully Demi Kebaikan. What happens when a single stare can change a person? Joko Wiryawan, an elementary school teacher famous for his death stare, has never laid a hand on a student. But one look from him... and a kid instantly feels guilty for the sins of their entire bloodline. From that stare came the "Social Stare Movement" - a silent act that made rule-breakers crumble under their own shame. But once the movement went viral and the government hijacked it, everything fell apart. Honest people started dying. Elementary kids took revenge with kitchen knives. And those who only wanted to look "morally perfect" ended up killing the very idea of goodness itself. A funny, bitter, and painfully honest story about morality, social media, and the danger of trying to be the most righteous person on the internet. Because sometimes... the one that needs saving the most isn't the world - but yourself.

In a world divided by distance, language, and time, Jaden Greyhawk learns that love is not always enough - but it is never forgotten. Born to a surgeon father in the deserts of New Mexico, Jaden is raised between tradition and hope. At eleven, he is sent abroad as an exchange student to the snowy quiet of Willow Creek, a small American town where belonging is earned slowly and kindness becomes its own kind of courage. There, he meets Kae, a bright and fiercely gentle girl who helps him navigate the awkward, often lonely edges of growing up. What begins as friendship blossoms into something unspoken, a love that lingers between silence and understanding. But as years pass - from adolescence to the trials of med school, from innocent connection to adult heartbreak - life tests Jaden in ways he never imagined. He will lose, learn, love again, and come to understand that some people never truly leave us; they simply remain in the quiet places we learn to listen. A sweeping story of youth, belonging, and the merciless beauty of fate, The Quiet Sound of Rain traces the long arc of one man's life - from desert sun to city light - exploring how heartbreak can hollow us, heal us, and sometimes make us whole.

A love circle? Square? Triangle? Honestly, I stopped trying to figure it out. All Mahi wants is some peace in her life. But peace clearly has something personal against her. She isn't sure what her "type" is, so she keeps rejecting people. But the boys around her? Yeah... they seem very sure of their type. And that type is basically: *Mahi.* She's not the prettiest or the funniest or the smartest. But she's real. She feels things deeply, says what she thinks, and tries to stay true to herself. Maybe that's what makes people fall for her without warning. She believes her life is finally settling down. But this "almost perfect" life is actually the start of her *almost-his-girlfriend* era. She'll run into him. She'll run from him. She'll run with him. But the real question is... Is it the same guy every time? Or three completely different boys? Welcome to *her almost-boyfriends* - a story about confusing feelings, unexpected crushes, and a girl who never meant to become anyone's almost anything. .......................
