vi·gnette /vinˈyet/: vignette (literature) In a novel, theatrical script, screenplay, sketch stories, and poetry, a vignette is a short impressionistic scene that focuses on one moment or character and gives a trenchant impression about that character, an idea, setting, and/or object. (Wikipedia)
although these may not be the most interesting tales someone can tell, I hope to share experiences that others can identify with. although this is not a big novel that one reads on the edge of their seat, I hope to write to make people feel. I hope to reach into people's minds, or just let them freely read short stories.

Things Left Unsaid | ✓
❝That's the thing about love. It isn't going to be easy, it isn't going to be smooth, but it's going to be worth it. Because sometimes you have to take the plunge. And you never know if you'll make it out again.❞ Maybe it's the way he looked at her that day in kindergarten or maybe it's the way he was there for her all those years. Whatever it was, somewhere along the way Kaylee fell for Dylan - hard. She soon realizes, however, that feelings can be misinterpreted and fate often doesn't play in her favor. When a rift forms between the two, all hope seems lost and Kaylee is forced to move on. But later, when fate finally decides to twist in her favor, Kaylee is given a second chance to fix their romance. As the two work through resetting their relationship, they soon learn that friendships often don't go as planned, relationships aren't actually that simple, and words are not always easily said. And in the end, everything may just crash and burn. ******************************************* Warning: Read at your own risk! This is my first story on Wattpad (which I wrote when I was 14), so you know what that means - cringe, plot holes, and errors. It's not the most well-written; there are decent chapters and bad chapters. I hope you decide to give this story a chance anyways, though.Complete

I ,Elena, am an ordinary high school girl.I am so into novels and I finally found my favourite one just a few days ago! It was a mafia one! When I saw it at the book store,I just couldn't resist the temptation so I bought it.I got home and started reading it. "Eh?!The second male lead dies to protect the heroine?!" The second male lead, Endymion, was the childhood friend of the heroine.He always had a crush on her but never expresssed his romantic feelings.He was so kind to the heroine and protected her from afar. "He got shot to protect her and died without even revealing his true feelings?! This is so unfair author-sama!"I screamed at the book right in front of me. "I had enough of this! Endymion should get his happy ending as well!" Suddenly,I saw a light coming from inside the book."What the?"I opened it. "Do you wish to save second male lead?" Is this for real? A yes and no appeared in front of me.I tapped on "yes"."Do as you wish but under a condition... Never fall for the second male lead" "What?!I have a huge crush on him already?! What are you talking about?!" " -_-"appeared on the book. It went silent for a bit but a new message appeared. "Then never admit your feelings for the second male lead to him." [...] "I accept." 📌 Note‼️: the picture does not belong to me.I took the picture from Google. I wrote this because I was bored of the classic mafia with a naive fl and can do it all ml. I also didn't include too much love triangle , double faced people and unessasary drama.

Just a small scattering of vignettes I've written over the years. Some are old and pretty poor quality. Some are new and weird. Some are just plain half baked. But regardless, I hope you'll stop by and give it a read.Complete
The Thing About Us.
This is an anthology about us. About people. People around us, people like us, people who face their things, or avoid their things in their lives. People who grow to be better people, or people who stay stagnant. These are the tales people often ignore, since it is not as big, as heroic, nor as entertaining as the adventures of heroes. But, isn't that also the thing about us?Complete

Surprised, It Was Him!
"At first, there was an unknown guy who I thought I liked, but I then realized Charles was the one I really can not let go of. Am I really attached to him more than a friend?" - Belle - Belle thought she was just another busy student helping with school events, printing IDs, organizing tasks, managing chaos with her friends in the English Department. But everything changed the moment she bumped into a mysterious guy with a blue-and-grey hawk backpack. Since then, her eyes unconsciously searched for him everywhere. She built quiet hopes around that fleeting encounter, thinking maybe... just maybe, something romantic would bloom. But while her eyes wander through crowds searching for that mystery, someone else never leaves her side: Charles. He's loud, clingy, annoyingly flirty, always grinning, always there, and her best friend. But when unexpected emotions surface, Belle begins to question everything. As the days pass, Belle begins to wonder if her heart had been chasing the wrong thing all along. Because sometimes, the person you're truly drawn to isn't the one who made your heart skip once, but the one who's been catching you every time you fall.
