Marnie is a senior in high school. She has one friend, almost zero social life, and dances ballet one night a week. She envies her older sister Maya, who has much more of a passion for dance, and gets to dance pas de deux; with guys.
Maya introduces Marnie to one of the guys in her class, Nate, hoping maybe they can go out some and she can help improve Marnie improve her social life and confidence, and also help her have some fun. They go out a few times and Marnie hates it. "He's too nerdy," she says.
Then, after some drama, Maya sets Marnie up with Thomas. Thomas is nice, but he's not who Marnie really wants. The only problem is that the guy that Marnie really wants, Mark, is the same guy Maya likes. And he's partners with Maya in the pas de deux class.
Will Marnie be able to win Mark's heart, despite his friendship with her sister?

Snapshots
When it came to her sister's crush, Aru Shah couldn't care less than she already did. She didn't even know the guy, and it didn't help that he was the hot topic in all of Kara's and Aru's conversations. She knew she had to meet the dude someday, because of their mutual friend group, but she didn't expect to meet him to help him and Kara for their project. It helped her too, so what was the point in denying? Aiden knew people only liked him, and talked to him because of his looks. He knew love was a waste of time, because the guy Aiden actually was was someone who nobody cared about. But when one of his friends came up to him and told him that she had found a model for their end-of-year project, he readily accepted, not knowing that this one person would make him change his perspective. In the end, he realised, there were albums of snapshots, all overflowing with pictures of memories he never knew he wanted.Complete

Shoelaces
[ SHOELACES: A NON-LINEAR LOVE STORY ] [ COMPLETED - 81K WORDS ] [ 2021 WATTYS SHORTLIST ] Darrion Gubart thinks he's a loser, a loner, a musical theatre nerd, a math addict, and almost anything else except for the main character. As a high school senior, he can hardly hold in his excitement to move off to a prestigious college and start a new life for himself. That is if he gets in, of course, with the constant swirl of doubt and anxiety swirling in his mind. Luckily, he has his one friend, Jazmine Lockart, who cares for him along the way. The only issue is Jazmine would rather party with her soccer team than spend a night with Darrion watching Dance Mom Compilations (though, she loves him enough to do just that). Darrion has a relatively supportive family too. Emphasis on the "relatively," for almost everybody except his family knows that Darrion likes boys. But Darrion loves them, so he decides to ignore that small piece of information and focus on the good aspects, like their weekly board games nights. Truthfully, Darrion has almost made the fact he likes boys a side note in his own life, mainly because of the lack of first-hand experience to which he can refer. Well, that's until he meets Santiago de Rosa, the man of Darrion's dreams (to put it simply). And, for the first time in Darrion's life, things seem to be looking up. Well, that's until somebody dies.Complete

Before you
She's always been a hopeless romantic, even though love has never seemed to work in her favor. Being one of the most popular girls in school-a talented artist, a writer, and a volleyball champion-she was confident, yet still doubted anyone would truly see her beyond her looks. That is, until Nate entered the picture. Nate, the arrogant, confident final-year student, seemed to have every girl wrapped around his finger. And yet, for some reason, he set his sights on her. A chance encounter turned into bold flirtation, and now she finds herself caught between intrigue and caution. Should she give him a chance? Or is he just another heartbreaker playing a game? Between school, deep talks with her effortlessly elegant best friend Zoe, and the looming senior party she almost forgot about, things are getting interesting. And as much as she tries to play it cool, she can't ignore one undeniable fact-Nate is getting under her skin.
