When Jon Harper goes on vacation to a mountain resort in Nigeria, he has no idea the insane twist of fate in store for him. Now in Nigeria, and with a questionable memory, his life begins to take new shape, especially when he meets Simisola Ayo.
Simisola is a self-proclaimed 'no-deal' 17-year-old, and they strike up a sweet relationship in no time, occasionally marred by undertones of each of their individual traumas. Jon is not deceived, and knows that there is more beneath what she lets on. But he also really wants to make it work. She believes she does too, but constantly self-sabatoges without even fully realizing it. The thing now, is, will she ever eventually open up, giving their relationship a chance to actually bloom?
or,
Paraphrasing Adele, will they give up? or will they just keep chasing pavements? even when it leads nowhere?

Secretly
We've all lived a version of it-the story of unrequited love. That quiet ache, the longing without return. I thought I might escape it. I guess there's no escape. I was not an exception. It was summer, two years ago, when I met him. At first, he was just another face in the crowd. But slowly-quietly-he became someone unforgettable. Someone who mattered far too much. We all have that one person. The one who changes everything without even trying. But tell me this: How much of yourself can you give to someone, knowing they'll never feel the same? Knowing that your love will echo in silence, unanswered? This is my story. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Story (OG a visual novel) was written and first published in The Sims Resource year 2014 (my username was wasabichi).

She loved him quietly. And when she finally tried to speak, he never listened in the way her heart needed him to. So she became patient. She became understanding. She became everything for him... except chosen.

COLD (a nigerian story)
"Nevaeh you need to understand that life ain't a bed of roses. It has it's ups and downs but that doesn't mean you should blame God for that! Once in a while you lose people you love. It's not because God hates you or because he doesn't exists. It's because that's what is meant to happen." He said dropping his fanta. "God exists. And that's why you and I are still living" he finished. I frowned at him not wanting to press the issue further. He held my gaze, his eyes not leaving mine. I looked down at my plate trying to avoid his bold stare. "This sucks" I muttered. Daniel and Yimika are practically the same in this God thingy. How the heck did I get myself tangled with them?! ############## Have you ever come across someone with so much drama in their life? If you haven't... Meet Yemisi Nevaeh Simon, A fifteen years old Nigerian who has spent fourteen years of her life living in America but comes down to Nigeria with her family. Daughter of a well respected Godly Billioniare. Loves to express herself, cold hearted, mean, self centered, selfish and lots more. Used to be a Christian but things changed when her twin died in a 'gun shot' right behind her. She doesn't give up yet in searching for her twin because of the mysteries that keep unfolding. She meets Yimika Owolabi, the complete opposite of her, but like the saying, opposite attracts, they became best friends. She also meets Daniel, but after a loong time...they finally get along. What then happens when Tony comes? Because in my point of view, they are like birds of the same feathers so why didn't they want to flock together at the beginning? Fights for justice, Fights for love, Fights for right. There is a little plot twist though. Maybe or maybe not........... NO CUSSING, SWEARING OR MATURE CONTENTS.

HIDING - every scar has a story
Every scar has a story but Cary Douglas isn't talking. SCARS trilogy vol. 1. Cary learned a long time ago that secrets and silence equal survival and he's kept his promise to his family ever since. So when the clean-cut new kid starts paying attention to him at school, it's a problem. Cary is sure he can't afford to care about one more person, but Jon White's persistent kindness is cracking him open. Every smile has a cost and Jon White is tired of paying it. It's never been easy to be the oldest son of Pastor White, and keeping it together when the bully at his new school is in his face every day is almost more than he can do. He has just one question - where is God when everything is shit? - and so far nobody's answering. This is a novel about what happens when the silence breaks - about faith and family, suffering and doubt and the answer to Jon's question. ☆Featured on Wattpad's @ProfileMentalHealth 'A New Day' reading list☆ ☆Winner of the Read4Read Awards Best Teen Fiction☆ SCARS Trilogy book one.
