Lockdown obliges two office workers to ask: where or what is home, when you have to stay there? * The setting is a fictional version of the UK's East Midlands region. * I know that many people are having a really shit time at the moment, so I hope this is a way of acknowledging the current situation without being too heavy-handed, and maybe even cheers someone up. Although there is a potentially quite serious situation described, I hope the light way it's treated doesn't offend anyone, or imply that I'm not taking it seriously. I've tried to stay very conscious of the public health advice, as it was in the UK at the period covered. This basically came down to: Stay At Home (if you possibly can). Written May/June 2020

[Featured on Wattpad Official Romance's Reading List!] Marzia Castille has always had dreams. When she was 3, she wanted to be a pop star. When she was 5, she was sure there was a career that meant she could build Lego for a living (spoiler alert; there isn't one). When she was 8, she wanted to be an astronaut. Unlike most girls, funnily enough, she never wanted to be a princess. Which kinda sucked, because she was one. Now that she's 17, she's the furthest thing from a princess imaginable. She's just a normal teenager with an annoying arch-enemy, a myriad of homework that she has no plans of completing, and jeans that she wears in place of school trousers (which she'll deny if you ever challenge her on it). Being the Oxford English Dictionary definition of 'not princess' and hiding in her shitty flat in London, is the only thing keeping her from an early grave. Someone out there wants her blood, but no one can quite tell her who, or why. But when a newspaper article hits her right between the eyes, and throws everything into permanent turmoil, she has to cut through her fear, and face the life she left behind. Armed with her best friend Emilio, and a sarcastic attitude that never seems to falter, she's pushed into a constant battle of love, heartbreak, impossible responsibility and determination, that all culminate in the never-ending whirlwind that throws her about. Oh, and let's not forget complete and utter confusion and hunger about 90% of the time too.

In life we go through several hypotheses, and at certain times we have to make several decisions, we just don't know which ones are the right ones to make. We have to decide whether something affects us, if it hits us, whether we overcome or remain in super action. That is my goal.

•Book 1 of the Strangely Series • ||completed|| It wasn't love at first sight, nor did I consider him as someone to love. Just a friend of a friend. We saw and encountered each other on a daily basis yet never gave the other a second thought. Until the summer before senior year. I was with my two best friends when it all happened... -- In the same friendship group since they were kids, the two never really got to know each other. But it all changed in senior year when Aimee Michelson finally decided to talk to the Archview's labeled bad-boy player and learns that they had more in common than she thought. Was the love she craved right in front of her this whole time? * "It's such a strange combination..." I pondered. "But it goes well together," he added on. I nodded in agreement. "It's like, it's..." I paused in search of the right words. "Strangely perfect." We both said in unison. [UNeDiTED. But give it a chance I promise it's good :)]
