For my whole high school life, I've been hiding behind my spectacles after my first heartbreak from my childhood benefactor, so as to hide from the attention I would have received if it wasn't for the fact that no one can recognise my real identity. Thankfully, I go to the normal high school where there isn't much news; the same old high school where people like Alec Reyes Spencer always get crowned as Homecoming King and Kristy Carson, also my twin sister, as Homecoming Queen. However, this year, my secret identity is discovered but this time, I'm ready to embrace the popularity. My name is Kristen Carson, and this is my story.

Dead Before the Sequel
I died. Came back. Now I'm living in a soap opera-and no, I don't get a script. Transmigrated as the older twin in a wildly rich, wildly dramatic family, I'm surrounded by love triangles, overprotective parents, and the kind of chaos that would give reality TV execs a stroke. My sister's perfect. I'm... not. And while she collects admirers, I collect emotional damage-and maybe one terrifyingly attractive, possibly robotic boyfriend who understands me a little too well. There are secret pasts. Public scandals. Too much glitter. This isn't a romance. It's survival. And I'm done playing the sidekick.Complete

Pretty, Popular and Partnered
“Every girl wants to be pretty, popular and partnered.” I, Poppy Lake, need help. I seem incapable of functioning like a normal teenage girl; I’m not pretty, popular and I’ve never so much as held a boy’s hand let alone had a boyfriend. Wherever girls learn how to do this stuff, I need to find out. Do they have some secret society or something where they discover these skills? I’m thirteen and I hardly know how make friends. Funnily enough, that’s almost the least of my worries. My hair has not grown at all in the last two months and the little hair I have is frizzy and dull. I can’t wake up without it looking like a puffball and my attempts to grow it out have failed. The flakes of dry skin on my legs were bugging me so I tried to scrap them off but they were everywhere and rubbing my hand up and down my shin only revealed I needed to shave my legs. At some point, my thighs and tummy had expanded without me noticing (although how I missed that I don’t know) and now I looked like an elephant. Unfortunately, my ears support this look by being perpendicular to my head. I pulled my trousers back down and caught sight of at least another ten spots emerging on my forehead, chin and neck. I’ve tried squeezing them, putting toothpaste on them and even skipping chocolate for two weeks, but spots remain stubbornly there whatever I do. Why does my body feel the need to punish me so much? I threw myself on my bed so I wouldn’t have to look at my horrible, imperfect face in the mirror any more. “Urgh,” I moaned into the covers. There was a lot going wrong in my life: 1. My face is hideous; 2. I’m fat; 3. None of the clothes I own are remotely stylish; 4. I have never been asked out; 5. The most popular girl at school hates me; 6. And I fancy her boyfriend. ---- Based off How To Be Popular by Meg Cabot, the story follows Poppy, a young girl in a situation similar to Steph's who gets personal advice from the mentor herself.Complete
6 months to live
It all started my sophomore year of high school. The first symptom that struck me was the constant headaches. I was easy to brush it off since I had been overwhelmed with before and after school activities. More activities meant more coffee to poison the pain of maintaining my reputation. "It's the stress," I would constantly tell myself. Then it was the small fragments of my memory that kept being stolen away from me. Bits by bits, they would slowly vanish leaving me demented. I though I was going crazy because I couldn't remember simple things like where I lived. It never occurred to me that I would only have 6 months left to live.Complete
Two Scenes & A Lifetime Contract
So transmigration into a novel is real. Fantastic. But instead of waking up as the dazzling heroine or the cunning villainess... I got stuck as the cannon fodder side character. The one who showed up twice and died in a single sentence. Two scenes. One line of death. That's my entire legacy. Even the villainess gets more respect than me. Well, not this time. I refused to play. I got a second chance, and I'm taking it all- the story, the characters, and the author can choke on their own plot. _Complete
Sorry, You're An Idiot (And So Is My Sister)
💔 She lost everything to her sister once. This time, she's not giving it up. ✨ Sorry, You're An Idiot (And So Is My Sister) ✨ A spin-off of Sorry, I'm An Idiot (And You're My Wife) - full of family drama, messy romance, betrayal, and the revenge glow-up you didn't know you needed. Update: New covers are dropping soon, and I can't wait for you to see them. Now, onto the "AI" comments. Let me be crystal clear: I write every word myself. If you think a robot could pull off juggling school runs, lesson planning, late-night coffee binges, Wattpad updates at ungodly hours, and still slip in sarcasm that cuts deep - you're giving AI way too much credit. I'll take your accusations as a backhanded compliment. If my writing feels "too good" to be human, then maybe that just means I'm doing something right. ✨Complete

I'm in love with him but he's in love with my younger sister and has made that painfully clear to me. "Who are you in love with?" I ask softly, my voice barely above a whisper. "I'm in love with Isabella, your sister. She's the only woman I truly care about," he admits, revealing his feelings for my younger sister after we had just gotten married, it hasn't even been twenty-four hours. "I'll fulfill my role as your husband, but don't expect any love or affection. This marriage is just an agreement between our families, nothing more. Do you understand?"
