"I was not expecting to see such a beautiful man in that small cafe on 31st Street. Nor did I expect to fall in love with him from afar. But, being the shy person I was, I just looked at him through the lens of my camera, hoping that one day I would gain enough courage to actually talk to him. But all I really needed were the daily pictures I snapped of him."
❃ ❃ ❃
Camilla Monterio is a photographer. An amazing one at that. But one day, she heads to the small cafe down the street, and spots the most gorgeous boy she's ever seen. Being 17, almost 18, she wants to take a chance and do something she would never do otherwise: she snaps a picture of him.
But little does she know, the nerdy boy from her school is slowly trying to get her attention. Will she realize that someone else had feelings for her and forget about Mystery Boy? Or will she keep taking those daily photos of Mystery Boy long enough to realize that maybe it wasn't the best thing to do in the first place?

Cynical Souls
COMPLETED✅ Two high school teenagers finding themselves, analyzing this ever changing world, and building love. This is the type of love you wish you found in high school but probably know way too well that it only exists as fiction. Today I'm turning my fiction to reality. ❣️•••❣️ Excerpt: Just as I was about to seek shelter under some building's roof, the tires of a car come to a halt, I wonder who might pity the lonely girl walking in the rain. The passenger window rolls down, and I spot the most unexpected person seated behind the wheel. "Get in" comes out his voice, and I must've stood there agape for a few moments because next comes his rhetorical question. "Are you getting in or continuing walking in the rain?" Eyebrows raised expectantly. He sounds annoyed, like he regrets his decision to ever stop and help me. ❣️•••❣️ #5 in cynical #2 in loveandfriendship #1 in opinionated #4 in ihatelife #10 in nerdgirl #10 in HighschoolRomance #26 in GoodGirlBadBoy *contains mature themes. *contains cursing.Complete

Kiera has been in and out of various foster houses since she was seven. Her life was very aloof from any other ordinary kid.

So, when, just a few months shy from turning eighteen, she's sent off to a new foster house in Manhattan, she enters the house with five thoughts. Be calm. Don't get punished. Don't cause any tantrums. Don't get friendly. And get the hell out. But what she doesn't realize is that the house is very different from the other houses she's ever been to. She was about to get furious, get punished, cause tantrums, get friendly and worse...fall in love. But life isn't a fairy tale. Not every story is supposed to have a happy ending... or does it? "Physically he was my dream, and in every other way, my nightmare..." ******************************** My first story... The story is better than its description.

Just give it a try... ******************************** RANKINGS SO FAR: #7 badboyromance #9 confusedlove #20 toxiclove #96 badboygoodgirlComplete
Awkward
- a featured story on wattpad @sport - a featured story on wattpad @generalfiction School has an odd way of making you hate it yet love the people you meet. I hate both. I've been the new boy at my school for nearly five months. Since my family's life of poverty was flipped on its head I've seen my entire world open up; it's like I was living in a cave. This time last year, I was 'too poor to have a Valentine'. This time this year, I just don't have the guts. Seriously, "Valentine's Day is the root of human anxiety." ~ Albert Einstein. (Don't look it up. I'm telling you what 'the government' doesn't want you to know.) But school has an odd way of giving you the perfect friends, a perfect love life and perfectly supporting your dreams to be a pro football player like your older brother. That, or it crushes you. It just crushes you. Your dreams? Crushed. Your friends? Meh. Your love life? Nonexistent (but as soon as it exists, CRUSHED). But we don't know what will happen for sure, right? I'm Roman Turner, but you can call me "the cool man". Gosh, I know I'll cringe at this later. ----------- - a featured story on wattpad @sport - a romance winner at the multi awards - a story told through two points of view • Romance/Sport/Slice of Life | Roman • Prose/Mystery/Psychological | Danielle • BOOK ONE: LIVING. • (EST.) 3390 words/part. • Cover artist - Sage Hieran.
