Sylvia dreams vividly. Increasingly she's finding these dreams hard to forget, but that's not a problem, right?
Life at Samjay's is pretty tedious. Same teachers trying to stretch her, same housemistress watching her every move, same scenery in the grounds that they're forbidden from leaving. Even her best friends Zack and Elliot are resorting to increasingly elaborate schemes to keep themselves entertained. Luckily her partner in crime Luciel is on hand to stop her getting into too much trouble, joining her on escapades involving conspiracy theories, exotic environments, and out-smarting the baddies by finding novel uses for toothpaste.
But when a stranger arrives at the institute, things start getting a little to real for Sylvia's liking. Can she keep her cool under changing circumstances, or is her imagination getting out of control?

Dream Journal: The Chronicles. Vol. 1- Delilah's Story
Ten years Delilah had lived within the walls of The Protectorate, a school of sorts for young female's such as her. 'Gifted' they had been called. But what was a gift for some, was torture for Delilah, feeling trapped within this island prison, not even knowing what the 'gift' was! None of them knew! Not yet anyhow! It was a great change in your life, and when it happened, you would know. Until then, there were rules to follow, classes to attend. Leaving the massive estate unattended and for no good reason, was forbidden. Being out after dark, was forbidden. Males, were forbidden. Even talking to one without having been told to do so, was forbidden. But why? Soon enough the 'secrets' start seeping through the woodwork as a danger arrives to the island and Delilah's world takes on a few new layers of madness. With nothing but her journal, in which she can transfer the chaos from her thoughts to the paper, Delilah tries to make sense of it all.Complete
Ripples Of Secrets
Elena couldn't be more excited about the new community development program for noble, academic reasons... but let's be honest - she's mostly excited because it involves working with athletes. Athletes = muscles. Muscles = potential boyfriends. And potential boyfriends = the long-overdue end of her tragic "Single Since 2019" era. Plus, if the universe finally stops laughing at her romantic misfortunes, she might even get to tag along with her college's athletic team on their trip to New Jersey - land of bagels, boardwalks, and possibly cute foreign exchange players. So yes, Elena is ready. Ready for love. Ready for adventure. Ready for... absolutely anything except what she actually gets: A collision course with a quiet, hoodie-wearing disaster named Ryan Kingston. Ryan Kingston - the campus myth, the billionaire's heir, the human equivalent of a locked door. He's got the looks of a brooding romance novel hero... and the social skills of a brick wall. Rumor says he has a female allergy. Not figurative. Literal. If a girl stands too close, he tenses like someone is pointing a crossbow at him. Elena finds this absolutely ridiculous. Until she meets him. And he actually backs away like she's holding a weaponized scented candle. But Ryan has his reasons - A spotlight he never asked for. A family empire that screams drama with a side of taxes. And the talent of disappearing into hoodies like he's auditioning to become a shadow. Now their worlds are about to collide - hers full of caffeine-fueled optimism, accidental disasters, and questionable flirting choices; his full of rules, emotional escape routes, and enough distance to qualify as a Wi-Fi problem.

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.
