Some things, you realise, don't turn out the way you expect them to be. Things change, like people change.
My name is Roxanne. I'm Maltese. (No, I'm not a dog. Maltese is a nationality.) (Google it.) Sometimes life in Malta can be boring and you can rarely ever break out of the cycle of a repetitive, boring life.
But my only comfort, my best friend Cam, decided she needed to go off alone on her own adventure and told me that she's taking part in a European exchange program.
But... An exchange with who?

Destined to be Together
Being a loved one isn't that difficult, is it? Some people believe it's easy. Ironically, many do not know how it feels to have people around who care for them. Some people grow up accepting the cruel world around them, forcing them to show off a tough personality and acting harsh as well. These people are often considered 'heartless' even though they might not be. While some find out reasons to be happy in every possible situation. Making new friends, ready to face challenges with a smile but not a frown and trying to understand others' problems is a small part of their personalities. Everyone in this world deserves someone with whom they can forget the rest of the world around them. It can be your family, your friends or maybe someone more than a friend... But can a cold and arrogant person ever receive any kind of affection? When a mysterious person, known by no one, starts getting attention from a transfer student, where would this lead the story? What would be the identity of this mysterious person? Trapped in a troublesome friendship, will they realize their love for each other? A simple and sweet love story of two souls, completely different from each other. Where would their destiny lead them?Complete
Undercurrents (Tyler Gossard)
Camilla Huang had been lost in the undercurrents of her life. It had been nearly a year since her world was knocked off kilter, nearly a year since she lost her best friend to the waves. Camilla was left behind in the foamy wreckage, scrambling to make sense of the tragedy, scrambling to make sense of her life as it was now. There was one thing that her best friend loved more than anything else in the world: the precious sea turtles found at their favorite beach in Malibu. Camilla realized she had to follow her best friend's footsteps in the sand and help save the sea turtles. She teamed up with a local college student and petitioned the city of Malibu to give them an office and a platform -- and they were given it!

After she found her best friend's bucket list, Camilla knew she had to do one thing: complete everything on the bucket list, no matter how hard it was. With the help of her new friends at Malibu Junior Rescue, she knew she could tackle each and every dream and actually live again, just like her best friend would have wanted. And maybe, just maybe she would fall in love with this crazy thing called life -- and even with a cute boy named Tyler -- in the process. Camilla Huang had a borrowed dream. She lived a borrowed life. It was up to her to keep those dreams afloat above the waves. It was up to her to live life for the two of them.

Because of Haven Beach
"The moon's really beautiful, if you think about it," I blurted. "Yeah?" he asked, mild amusement and curiosity mingling in his voice. "Yeah," I confirmed. "It's just- there's something about the moon that's ethereal. I don't really know how to describe it, but it's a constant in life. You can't always see it, but you have to trust that it's out there somewhere. And when you can see it, it's all bright and shiny and overcomes the darkness." I paused, searching for the right words. "I don't know. I guess it's a reminder that there are good things out there, even if you can't see them... And it's cool to think that someone hundreds of miles away is staring at the exact same moon as you. It makes me feel not so alone in life." Turning my head, I saw him staring at me intently with a thoughtful look on his face. "Too deep for a Friday night?" I laughed nervously, feeling my face grow hot. And this was precisely why I didn't go to parties. He shook his head and seemed to snap out of his daze. "It was deep in a good way." *** SHE was quiet & left out.
