"Have you applied to a university yet?"
"What did you get on that math quiz?"
"Wanna hang?"
Avery Hawley can't answer a single one of these questions, and not because of lack of ideas or opinions. She has plenty of those.
She lacks one thing ever since that fateful summer after 10th grade, when she became a victim to violence and lost what she realized was the most important part of herself: her voice.
At first, she was optimistic. But when her life took an even darker turn, where she began losing everyone and everything precious to her, Avery began losing herself, starting with her voice and soon her dreams- her will to live.
Until one day, a new student joins the eleventh grade at Crescent High- Layla Rasheed. Layla is beautifully optimistic and daring, with a dose of wit and wisdom. Can she help Avery recover and make her whole before Avery falls too far into the abyss she made for herself?

Frenemies with the Bad Boy | ✓
"Are you running away from me?" A playful voice made me stop in my tracks. My heart thudded in alarm, and I had to remind myself that we were in school, with multiple witnesses around us. He couldn't harm me here. I turned around with a glare, but the second I looked at his face, my courage crumbled. The memory of him threatening to snap my neck if I reported him and his crew hit me like a brick. Swallowing my fear, I met his eyes. "Weren't you the one who told me to stay away from trouble?" A crooked grin tugged at his lips and he brought his face closer. "Yeah. But looks like trouble doesn't want to stay away from you." I blinked.

Loving The Enigma ✔
"You're mine, Layla." "What-t?" she whispered, still trying to catch up to the whirlwind of emotions crashing through her. "Mine," he repeated, his voice firm and fierce. "Not Liam's. Not anyone else's. Mine. Only mine." ~~ Crestwood High Trilogy #1 ● LAYLA HARPER I'm all about good vibes, great art, and even better company. I'm always on the lookout for new adventures and experiences to fuel my art. But then I saw him - the mysterious guy in school who seems to exist in a world of his own. He's silent, cold, and distant, like a ghost haunting the halls. What secrets is he hiding behind those piercing eyes? I'm drawn to the mystery of him, and I find myself wondering what it would take to crack the code of his icy exterior. ● DANIEL GARCIA I'm a ghost in the halls, a shadow in the crowd. People see me, but they don't really look. I'm a master of hiding in plain sight, of being invisible despite being right in front of them. My walls are up, my guard is down... or is it the other way around? Either way, I'm not letting anyone in. Not after what happened. But then she showed up, Layla Harper is like a ray of light in a world that's gone dark. And I'm not sure if I'm drawn to her or repelled by her. Either way, I'm stuck on her, like a puzzle piece that won't fit. ~ What happens when sparks fly between sunshine & darkness? ~Kumpleto
The Shadow of Comparison
"Growing up in someone else's shadow taught me one thing: finding myself was the hardest-and most beautiful-journey of all." School was supposed to be easy-a place to learn, laugh, and grow. But for her, it quickly became anything but simple. 🌿 Everyone around her seemed brighter, bolder, better. Every whispered compliment, every small success she didn't have, made her question herself. Slowly, the shadow of comparison began to follow her everywhere. Then college arrived-bigger, more dazzling, and full of surprises she never saw coming. Friendships that challenged her, choices that tested her, and moments that made her heart ache in ways she didn't expect. Could she navigate this new world without losing herself? From quiet school corridors to late-night reflections, from self-doubt to self-discovery, this story is about growing up, facing unexpected twists, and finding the courage to step out of the shadows. If you loved "The Goodbye We Never Said," you'll recognize the familiar struggles and heartfelt moments-and maybe even find yourself rooting for her as she learns to shine in her own light.Kumpleto

The Group Chat
This story is based off of actual conversations my friends and I have in our group chat. It all started with a simple crush. Maybe this all would have been avoided if said crush wasn't sitting at the same table as me and all the friends I wanted to talk to about him. Then Avery came up with the perfect solution: just make a group chat with everyone at the table except him! Brilliant... right? Follow the wonderful (and sad) story of my friends and I as we have GIF wars, see kidnappers, and tp houses. This story is based off of the group chat conversation, but NOT ALL OF THIS STUFF ACTUALLY HAPPENED. You'll understand why I want to make this abundantly clear soon.Kumpleto
Worse for Love- Book #3 in the WF Series
Love. A word that never made sense to Ivy Blanchard. Yes, she helps all of her friends with every relationship because she wants to see them happy, but she never really believed in the exaggerated picture of what "love" is. Trusting someone completely by opening up to them has never really amused her, and maybe that's because of what she went through as a little girl. When one day, she gets drunk and calls Kai Hale; one of her cousin's friends, to come and get her, it escalates into a fake relationship that neither of them expected. To convince her friend that she doesn't need help finding love, she decides to create a fake relationship with Kai. Although, the lie only begins to lead into other things that neither one of them realized or were prepared for. Kai is the exact opposite of Ivy. Smiling is second nature to him, and love is definitely something he's always believed in, he just doesn't have enough time for it with his complicated schedule. When Ivy and him begin getting close though, he realizes there definitely is something happening, but convincing Ivy that it's okay to let someone in is harder than he thought it would be. Will he actually get over the wall she's built since she could remember?Kumpleto
