NEVER FORGET YOU
(Rewriting) She loved him quietly. He loved her without courage. One truth changed the course of their lives. Kavya Thakur never believed in fairytales, not until the quiet boy in her class finally confessed what he had been carrying for years. For a brief, fragile moment, life felt simple. Almost kind. Then an accident shattered everything. Grief arrived in waves, taking away the people she loved, one by one. Just when Kavya believed she had learned how to survive loss, someone new entered her life and brought with them a betrayal she never saw coming. A betrayal that hurt deeper than love ever could. It changed her. Hardened her. Taught her how to guard her heart instead of offering it freely. Five years later, fate brings her face to face with her first love again. But Kavya is no longer the girl he remembers. She is guarded, bruised by the past, and certain that some things cannot be rebuilt. He refuses to believe that. As buried secrets resurface and old wounds reopen, they must confront the question they never truly answered the first time. Can love survive betrayal, silence, and the weight of everything left unsaid? Or were they always meant to become a memory rather than a future?Complete

Everything She Is ✔️
I laugh as I walk down to the shore, holding the heels of my shoes as I walk far enough for the cool water to rush around my ankles. It's funny how life works out. I never pictured myself to be the girl outside the party, thinking about my life choices while I am half drunk but I guess kissing the school's bad boy does that to you. I wonder where I would be if I never met Cleo. If I never became her friend. Would I still have no friends? Would still be playing soccer? Would I have rebelled? I probably would still be drunk right now, I think to myself, and laugh bitterly, but get rudely interrupted. "Put your hands up, you are under arrest." I hear, spinning around and almost falling into the lake, but I save myself and there I see the flashing lights of the police, and a nice one holding cuffs, looking straight at me. Well this isn't good. ~*~ Quinn and Cleo are the best of friends. They do everything together, from sports to parties, to having a weekly girls night only for the two of them. They rule the school, but like any friendship, one is always has more power than the other, and that being Cleo. She made Quinn the girl she is today, because without her Quinn would be the bad girl that her attitude and personality was leading her to be. Cleo saved Quinn from herself. But after one fateful party Quinn learns that friendship always has an end game, and the one between her and Cleo is not yet over.Complete

High School Survival Theory
Life is hard. Specially when you're a high schooler. You can never know when your life is about to go up. And you 'especially' can never know when it's about to go down. But you can always take some precautions to avoid outcome of the hit. At least that's what I thought before the great 'Ashton Fellan' (pardon the sarcasm) interposed himself in my life. ... "We don't have the prettiest history. We didn't exactly like each other when we first met. You're my rival's girlfriend. We weren't interested in becoming friends with each other. But now in this difficult time, we're befriending. You'll help me to find the person who leaked that photo and prove to the coach that the article was not a self-promo to challenge his ideology." "What's in this for me?" "I won't report on you for invading my privacy. Trust me when I say my dad knows people." I roll my eyes. Never get mixed up with people with money. But maybe a little help won't be so bad after all. So I take his hand and shake it. "Okay, we have a deal." He smiles. "Now let's drink to celebrate." And I already have a bad feeling about this. *cover picture collected from Pinterest* © 2020 SHEONACC001 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.Complete
