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??

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.
Little Sweet Dreamer - Wattys Edition
"Oh," he said, as my back hit the wooden wall. Damn it, of course. With nowhere to go, his arms locked me in between him and the wall. He stared down at me as he said, "So you're trying to piss me off?" His lips were surprisingly close to mine. No guy would ever be this close to me in real life, let alone me being able to handle it; I would've been so timid and afraid. But this was the dream world. I could speak and be as brave as I wanted to. "Yeah, I am," I said. "What are you gonna do about it?" He paused as his eyes looked between the two of mine. Then, he smirked and swiftly closed the gap between our lips. ~~ In a small town in New York, Hazel is your average quiet type. In a school full of clichés, she falls perfectly under the category of "nerd" and has her own little nerdy group of people she loves to hang around. They respect the fact that she's non-verbal. The thing that plagues her is her ability to go through anybody's and everybody's dreams which has a nasty side effect--she lost her ability to speak in the real world. This is not something she can control, nor something that's necessarily dangerous. It just happens. One second she's in darkness, the next second she happens to be in someone's dream. But, when she stumbles into a dream of a guy she never knew existed in her grade of 500 students, albeit his popular status, both her worlds get flipped upside down.Complete
A Silent Love 💕 ♾️
The girl, a year her junior, moved with a quiet grace, a subtle melody in the bustling hallways.

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.😳😳
