The story of a girl, an extrovert turned introvert who is pretty, shy and asocial to the world but deep down inside she has a side she herself doesn't know about. She's accepted this as her fate and refuses any new interactions at school which might help her to open up. This was not her usual self if you'd talk about an year ago but that's exactly what it is now and she believes it to be irreversible. She usually dreams of how would her life be if that one incident hadn't taken place and she hadn't been so caught up and traumatized with it. She usually dreams of the old and bold girl she was, the time when she had friends to call her own, a good life to call her own.
What will happen when a total chatterbox bubbly heartthrob enters her reserved-to-herself life and turns it upside-down??

Maybe
An internal voice whispered, "Call him." But I chose not to. I dismissed it once more, saying, "He never liked me anyway." Yet the dilemma lingered. "But maybe he does. The way he looks at you... it's different." Out of nowhere, he glanced my way. My heartbeat quickened, sending shivers down my spine. I averted my gaze, pretending to look around. "Has he noticed me? No, wait-oh my god." --- After switching high schools, Nina discovered a new way of life. She fell in love, made wonderful friends, and everything seemed perfect. But Ethan-a popular boy who never focused on anyone but her-was the object of her hatred. He was always there, always keeping her safe. He used to annoy her endlessly. She hated him deeply. Until she didn't. For a while, she was content with her high school experience. That is, until something mysterious turned her world upside down. Forced to move to a new city, Nina had to cut ties with everyone she once knew. Eight years later, fate brings her face-to-face with him again. "Ethan..." He's the key to everything-the truths she never knew. When she was lost in the dark, he always held the light. But now, things are different. She despises him. He's colder than ever. Or perhaps she fears him. Fears that he'll leave her again. Will their lives ever return to normal after everything they've endured? "Maybe?" "Maybe yes. Maybe no?" --- Started: 8 November 2021 Ended: 19 December 2022 Rewritten: December 2024 --- ### Rankings Goals So Far: #1 Adolescente #1 given up #1 blinddates #1 pretend #10 twistedromance #50 high school romance --- ### Notice: This is my first published story, and it contains numerous grammatical errors and bad editing.

Something Between Then and Now
She was the girl who always followed the rules-the eldest daughter from a well-off family, the quiet achiever who excelled in her studies but hid her heart behind logic and restraint. An accountancy student turned successful accountant, she lived by discipline and precision, convincing everyone-including herself-that love was never her priority. But deep down, she longed to be seen, understood, and loved for who she truly was, not just for what she could achieve. He, on the other hand, was everything she wasn't-an engineering student with effortless charm, a campus heartthrob, the kind of person whose laughter filled rooms and whose warmth drew people in. They were worlds apart, yet she couldn't help but admire him from a distance throughout their college years. Until one day, with her friends' encouragement, she took the risk she never thought she would-confessing her feelings before graduation. His answer was simple, sharp, and unforgettable: "You're not my type." Years later, fate plays its quiet game. At their college reunion, she's no longer the shy, unsure girl he once knew-now a confident accountant, woman chasing her dream of opening her own café. He's an accomplished engineer, still charming, but this time, it's his turn to notice her. Old memories resurface, and unspoken words hang heavy between them. Can time and growth rewrite what once ended in rejection? Or will she finally realize that sometimes, the love you thought you needed isn't the one you were meant to find? A story of second chances, self-worth, and the quiet strength of a woman who learns that being enough for herself is where love truly begins.

Straight-Up Not Having A Good Time At Night Raven College: Prologue
PROLOGUE: Thanks, I Hate Being Welcomed To The Villain's World. (COMPLETED) ______________________________________ The misadventures of Prefect Kat, the 19-year-old ace lesbian isekai'd into a school full of problematic pretty-boys, armed with only her lack of f*cks and knowledge from years of mental health treatment. Will she survive? Will she ever get home? Will this damn cat ever stop causing problems? How long will it be until she even SEES another woman? Please, she is so gay and so, so lonely. ______________________________________ Writing the events of Twisted Wonderland as if I (or at least a version of myself that would actually progress the story) were the main character. CW: Swears (I swear like a sailor), descriptions of violence (describing in-game events; my style gets pretty prosey.) A lot of artistic license/minor worldbuilding/details/etc. Probably no ships; definitely no selfships or MC/OC+Canon ships or whatever you wanna call it. If there are ships, they're gonna be more subtext than anything else. If I go too OOC with ur faves I'm sorry, I'm doing my best but I'm dumb and mostly just try to get the 'vibes' right for each character; also might comedically exaggerate some traits for Shenanigans purposes sometimes. I own nothing besides myself; all characters/settings belong to Disney and Yana Toboso, etc., etc., pls no class-action lawsuit I have no moneyComplete

A Silent Love 💕 ♾️
The girl, a year her junior, moved with a quiet grace, a subtle melody in the bustling hallways. Her laughter, when it rippled out, felt like sunlight breaking through clouds, and the way her brow furrowed in concentration during lectures held an unexpected allure. For her, it was an instant, undeniable pull - a gravitational force she hadn't known existed.😳😳 Every shared glance, every accidental brush in the corridor, sent a jolt of electricity through her. She found herself noticing the smallest details This wasn't a boisterous, declared affection. It was a quiet, internal blossoming, a secret garden she tended in the hidden corners of her heart ❤️❤️ . But the reality of their different years, the unacknowledged distance, hung heavy in the air. Was this a cruel game, a simple act of youthful teasing?🤔🤔 Or was there a flicker of something else beneath the surface, a playful acknowledgment that hinted at a deeper awareness? Her one-sided love had gained an unexpected participant, one who held the power to both exhilarate and torment her with a single glance, a carefully chosen word.😘🥰 The silent symphony in her heart now had an echoing counterpoint, a teasing melody that kept her perpetually off-balance,🙈🙈 forever wondering about the true intentions behind that knowing, captivating smile.😳😳
Almost, Always 🍁🥀
"Almost, Always" 🍁🌹 Some people enter your life like whispers...soft, sudden, and gone before you can hold on. She didn't expect to see him again. Not after years, not like this. Not when she had finally learned how to forget the boy who never truly left her mind. But fate isn't loud..it's quiet, casual... cruel. In a classroom filled with noise, their glances screamed stories. A slow-burn connection, unsaid words, and almosts that could've been everything. This is not a fairytale. This is a memory rewritten..with the ending she deserved.
