When Emma lands a teaching job in the special needs industry, the last she'd expect is the near-zero work-life balance adding onto the horrendously low pay. Sure the kids are overly adorable, and that cute introverted teacher Joseph- who also happens to be seven years older than her- are incentives to coming to work in an ungodly hour. Those sweet genuine friends of hers are also probably the only thing that made her glad she chose this job. But Emma begins to question her life goals as each day passes. As she helps her autistic children in progressing through their important milestone, she realises there might be much more to her job than she'd thought. Because teaching children always helps you learn more than you've taught them, and Emma finds herself growing each day with each unique experience with her kids.
A story about an unanticipated romance, whole lots of twisted day-to-day events, hidden hierarchies, and genuine love for the children in the autism spectrum.

Meet Me After Class
So who will it be for this hopelessly unromantic girl? The brooding best friend? Or the young and unquestionably attractive substitute teacher? They say every person is worth the potential heartbreak of relationships not working out. That's why people still take that leap. But not me. Never been kissed, never had a boyfriend-I was pretty convinced by now that I was one of those mega-rare exceptions to the rule; the unlucky sap was just not worth the risk. And I'm totally fine with that. Romance and heartbreak? Not worth the hype in my book. Until life decided to get all snarky on me. "Fooled you, idiot! You'll get your love story...just not at all how you wanted it." Before I know it, I'm swept up in romantic turmoil more dramatic than anything my wildest playwright fantasies could dream up. Getting these very real, very adult feelings for the first time is bloomin' confusing. Lines will blur, tough choices will be made, and hearts will be deliciously broken. So who will it be for this once-hopelessly unromantic girl? My brooding best friend? Or my young substitute teacher?Complete

She Came From The Stars
In the world we live in today, speaking seems to be the only way one knows how to communicate; as if it is the only way to communicate- or is it? There are many unique children, scattered around the world, who are labelled as, "special needs", or "autistic", or ADHD. And these labels usually come with a negative stigma attached to them. But, what if- what if these children were just... different? What if these children are here, to show us a different, and more unique way of living. What if they are not in need, of "special attention"? What if they are just: special. This fictional (or is it?) short story , is geared to change your perception about these children, and your view point on communication, and the way we as human beings- speak.Complete
Inside, Looking Out (Teacher/Student) *ABANDONED*
Since I was young I’ve been inside my own head, barely peeking out at the world, looking as though through a rainy window, the door to outside locked from outside with a key the world itself has labelled “autism.” I was never meant to escape, until society itself is cracked open, and the key is turned, if only for a fraction, giving me my first glance at the world outside…still with the rain, but without the glass. The key turner? Kieran Ravenwood, and his inability to process rules. A forbidden romance doesn’t need rapists and love triangles to be new. That’s why it’s forbidden. Maybe all it needs is a different way of seeing. ***Story is completely abandoned for lack of response. See final chapter if you are that curious as to why.***Complete
Why Me ✓ (FINAL EDITS)
I pushed back my glasses and enquired, "Hi, did you call me?" I saw him smirk a little and then averted my gaze to anywhere but him. "Yes, Ms. Findlay. I did call you. I wanted to ask; are you the one who is making these new designs? Giving them finishing touches?", he asked pointing to the paperwork on his table. I didn't know why, but my throat had gone dry. So, I just nodded. He got closer to me and instinctively, I took steps away from him. Soon, he had closed the slightly ajar door and I was trapped between him and the door. We were so close that I could feel his breath near my neck. Slowly, he whispered into my ear, "What did you think, I would have forgotten you, Emerson? Do you think this is all a game?" I gulped. That was enough to confirm that he had definitely recognized me. I fake frowned and stuttered while trying to find the doorknob, "I...uh...I...I don't understand what you are talking about.....I...I...I think I should go." I finally found the doorknob, opened the door and practically ran out but, not before hearing him say, "If this is a game, so be it. Let the games begin." ____________________ Emma had only three goals since she was ten: grow mature, study hard and become independent. Through thirteen lonely years of struggle and hardships, she successfully crosses out the first two of the list. Now that she is twenty-three, it is time to get independent. But, what happens when she meets a peril from the past that has her future in his hands? Nothing, she just asks herself "Why Me?"Complete

Unwanted- COMPLETED ✔ (EDITING)
"Do you really love me?" What happens when an introverted girl meets one of the most popular guys in school? Nothing good, let me tell you that. She's bullied, has a messed up past but, what about this cool new guy she meets? Will he be any different from her or will he be just another jerk that makes her life a living hell? It's just some things can't be kept secret. But this, this her story of how everything changes. Her life will never be the same. A/N Everything is just weird in the beginning so please just bare with me here, it will improve as you go along. It's so kind of obvious that I was a beginner when I started this so I never knew what POV to put it in. Also, this is the new description I made for this, hope it's less cringey. Prepare for a unusual, confusingly cheesy since I wrote it, twist ending. Tbh, I don't think I will edit any time soon, lol. Adios beautiful people! XOXOComplete
