Teenagehood is a tough world to live in. Society breaks you down, studies leave you renderless, and there's little to no time to make a better version of yourself. At least, that's what Isabel Cooper Valdez thinks.
A girl at the age of seventeen, she's gone through her fair share of harsh realities. It seems as if the universe is out there to punish her when it takes away the one thing she held dear: her voice.
Mute, dull and all-around sarcastic, the girl has low expectations of High School and wants nothing more than to enter college to pursue her dream of becoming a professional musician.
It's when Kimberly High welcomes a brand new student that she realizes her punishment is far from over. Her past is cast into the spotlight once again as foreign teenager William Henley crashes into her life- the one where it didn't involve her almost dying because of him.

Because Of You ✔️
❝ I don't have time to waste thinking about a boy who will only destroy my future,❞ I say getting closer to him with every word, maybe a little too close. I feel his breath fanning my face. He licks his lip as a sneaky smirk slips onto them, his greenish-gray eyes shift between my lips and eyes, making my traitorous breath hitch. ❝ You saying you think about me, Torres? ❞ ~ Mariana Torres is the first in her family to go to college. Being the first in a Latinx family comes with more pressure and stress than usual, something Mariana is used to. She wants nothing but to make her family proud, even if it means pursuing something she's not interested in. Now heading off to UCLA on a full-ride with her best friend, she's finally getting the chance to get a strong education and become a successful doctor. But every perfect plan has bumps in the road, and this one just happens to be a beautiful one. Aiden Grey lives life like he's dying. He parties, drinks, smokes, burns through his money, and sleeps around with every girl at UCLA.

Begin Again
'I wish our lives could begin again, if only we were different people.' It's definitely a cliché for a new student to become the talk of the school. Delano Cadieux was about to experience a whole new change in his life.

Wrong. His mother's career encountered a pitfall. He was bullied by the other kids in the neighborhood. And he falls for a mysterious girl who only appears at night. The day everything was supposed to get better, his father was killed in a fatal car accident. Since then, all the secrets that the mysterious girl had been keeping all this time, was gushing out like floodwater. What would Delano do when he finds out more than he could expect? 🥇 First place (Gold award) in Teen Fiction (The Heart & Soul Awards) 🥇 First place in Teen Fiction (Magical Books Awards 2020) 🥈 Second place in Romance (The Spotlights Awards 2020) 🥈 Second place in Teen Fiction (Future Awards 2020) 🥈 Second place in Teen Fiction (Gen Z Awards 2020) 🥈 Second place in Teen Fiction (Wattpad Selenic Lights Awards) 🥉 Third place in The Sunset Awards 🥉 April Monthly Bronze in The Wildrose Multiawards ⭐ Honorable mention in Modern Romance (World of Romance Awards)Complete

Youthful Wishes
High school is the period of your life where you feel older and independent. It's also the time where you're restricted and forced into a slim expectation by standards and norms. High school is the last bit of youth you have before you are let loose into the sticky web of life. Within your last years of schooling, your habits and behaviors are what determine if you are a fly or a spider (at least that's what some people say). Clare Carter and her new group of friends are kicking off the school year in a powerful way as they battle new conflicts and the process of becoming high school students and young adults. Each character has their own unique story and background that will represent how they take each situation that comes up. They must tackle drama that takes place at school and home, as well as survive the activities that Freshman get to experience (homecoming, clubs, heartbreaks/relationships, the stress of doing well in school and figuring out a plan after they graduate). This group of friends are scheduled for a wave of realization if they think they'll stick together throughout all four years of high school. This story is created with my OCs that I have fun drawing. This is not an attempt to be a grand author or writer. I am merely using this opportunity as experience for fleshing out my characters and their personalities and backgrounds. The maturity setting was set to ON because any mentions of depression, suicidality, anxiety, sexuality, etc.. were placed under the mature label. This statement serves as a trigger warning that the topics/themes mentioned above ARE present in this story.Complete

Hearts in the Noise (WORK IN PROGRESS)
Marisol Reyes had a plan: go to college, keep her head down, make her family proud. But after a rough freshman year, she comes home to Chicago feeling lost-and the last thing she expects is to end up managing her brother's chaotic garage band. What starts as a one-night performance for her mom's dance studio spirals into viral fame, late-night gigs, and way too much time spent with Diego's best friend, Mateo Alvarez-the boy who's been steady in her orbit for years, the boy she swore she'd never fall for. Between family pressure, the future of her mom's studio, and the dizzy blur of music and summer nights, Mari has to figure out who she really is-and what she's willing to risk for passion, for family, and maybe even for love. It's messy. It's loud. It's the summer she'll never forget.
