We met under an apple tree on a school field trip. Her short curly light brown hair was what caught my attention. The second thing that caught it was an apple falling after her. We were only 9 at the time. She carelessly climbed the tree for one reason.
"Because I like apples. Why wouldn't I climb it to get more?"
She got scolded by the teachers and the workers there. I didn't know her name or who she was, but she was always the smartest out of all of us. Yet, she's reckless and dumb and careless.
"I'll call you Snow White!"
"My hair isn't black or my skin isn't pure white. If anything, I take that offensive." That was the first conversation we had.

I look at all the men in the group who had their jaws dropped, all except for one, "Touch me one more time, and I'll brake your arm in two." I stand and kick his back so he falls on the concert.

His Sweet Lies
Her brows furrowed. "You look like you have something specific you wanna ask me." The tips of Liam's ears turned red at Emma's very accurate observation. "I, uh... I usually just bullshit my way through projects, so I have no idea what the hell I'm doing." The corners of Emma's lips formed a small smile. Liam arched his brow. "What are you smiling at?" Her smile widened. "Nothing." Ever since Emma started going to Silver Creek High, she's been bullied over her discolored eyes. It all started when a boy brought attention to her in biology class one day, laughing at her and calling her a "freak" while the rest of the class laughed along with him. She never looked at him or saw his face; she just ran out of the room crying. She was now an outcast labeled as a freak and she wanted nothing more than to just disappear. She felt she had no purpose in life. Until her sophomore year when she fell in love with Liam, the guy every girl wanted; the guy every dude wanted to be. He had stolen her heart and she now wanted nothing more than to be with him. Unfortunately, Liam seemed to want nothing to do with Emma. He seemed to be straight up avoiding her. They never interacted for 3 whole years. That is, until now in their senior year, when they get paired up for a school project. The two must put their differences aside and try to work as a team. But as they spend more time together, feelings grow deeper, and secrets start to rise to the surface.

Eternal Embrace: A Love Through the Ages!
Meera: "Do you remember the first time we met? Back in school, when you stole my pencil just to get my attention?" Aarav: "I didn't steal it-I borrowed it indefinitely. It was my excuse to talk to you every day." Meera: "And yet, it took you years to finally confess that you liked me." Aarav: "Hey, I had to make sure you liked me too! And you did, didn't you?" Meera: "Of course, I did. From childhood friends to first crushes... It all feels like a dream now. Our late-night phone calls, those stolen glances in college, our first awkward date." Aarav: "Our first fight too. You were so mad at me for forgetting our anniversary." Meera: "Because it was important! But you made up for it with that handwritten letter... That was the moment I knew you were the one." Aarav: "Not when I got down on one knee and proposed?" Meera: "That too. But marriage wasn't always easy, was it?" Aarav: "No, it wasn't. Balancing careers, raising our children, the struggles, the losses... But through it all, we never let go of each other." Meera: "Even when we were exhausted, even when we argued, you always held my hand at night. That's what mattered." Aarav: "Because you were my home, Meera. You still are." Meera: "And now, after all these years, we've seen our children grow, watched them start their own families. And yet, here we are, still just Meera and Aarav, like we were in our twenties." Aarav: "Except with a few more wrinkles and a little less hair." Meera: "Oh, stop it! You're still the same boy who made my heart race." Aarav: "And you're still the girl who stole mine. Even in our 60s, in our 80s, my love for you never faded. If anything, it only grew stronger." Meera: "We've had a beautiful life together, haven't we?" Aarav: "The best. And when the time comes... we'll go the way we lived. Side by side, in each other's arms." Meera: "Together. Always."Complete
