"Secrets We Never Shared"
Mikaela Mendez is used to keeping things to herself.
When she was a child, most children her age would tell their parents their day at the dining table. She would eat silently and would rather hole herself up in her room if she had one.
She learned early that sharing would rather burden others than do good because nobody truly pay attention; rather, they might misunderstand it. Better keep it to yourself; others have better things to do than listen to you.
Hence, when she enters college, she expects to suffer, survive, and maybe eventually graduate. Being in a relationship is the last thing on her mind.
Love. Trust. Loyalty. Honesty. Kindness. Commitment. Communication. Emotional vulnerability. Compassion. Understanding. Willingness. Opening yourself up for another person to see. Not her thing. Sounds tiring. It takes a lot of time.
She never expected Migael Delgado. A calm, honest, confident, and persistent guy who is a year older than her.
But life in college is short. People you know always parted ways to do the things they studied.

The Longest Eight Minutes Of My Life
"The Longest 8 Minutes of My Life" Sa isang campus kung saan bawat ngiti ay may tinatagong lungkot, dalawang kaluluwang halos mabuwag ng sariling bigat ng mundo ang nagtagpo - hindi sa gitna ng saya, kundi sa pagitan ng tahimik na mga sulyap at mabibigat na buntong-hininga. Elara Mendez, a soft-spoken soul hiding invisible bruises, and Cassiel Reyes, the golden boy everyone admires but never truly knows - confident, composed, yet secretly drowning under the pressure of being enough. One night, in a world too noisy to notice broken things, they found each other. Not through grand confessions, not through promises- but through presence. A friend once said: "Every human being needs at least 8 minutes of another friends presence to make someone feel a little less alone in your darkest moments." In late-night conversations, silent glances across crowded rooms, whispered laughter under fading streetlights - eight minutes turned into hours. Hours turned into memories. Memories turned into a bond neither dared to name. But some moments are borrowed. Some battles are fought in silence. And some promises, no matter how deeply meant, are broken not by choice - but by life itself. This is a story about survival. About being seen when you least expect it. About the kind of love that doesn't promise forever, but promises to stay - even when the world falls apart. In a world that moves too fast, will eight minutes be enough?![Forever: A Part Of Me (Published Under Lovelink) [Editing]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/9992472-256-k942563.jpg)
