Black & White
A story, in which a typical teenage girl falls for the school's bad boy. Except, she's not that typical and he's not that much of a bad boy. *** "If I told you that I care about you, more than anyone in your life does, would you believe me?" He asked me, his jaw clenched. I could tell he was furious. Yet somehow, I wasn't scared of him. "No" I shook my head bravely. "If I told you,'' He tried again, closing his eyes and taking a deep breath before continuing.''That you make me so fucking mad, I want to punch a fucking wall. What would you say?" He had me trapped now, my back painfully colliding with the wall behind me. I gasped at the impact, looking up into his icy grey eyes. They were cold, emotionless. As always. "Do it!" I dared him with the last ounce of courage I had left in me. The sound of his fist smashing through the wall right next to my head, made my ears ring for a brief moment. I opened my mouth to speak again, shaking slightly, only for him to pull away and leave me standing there alone. ____ !!Warning!!

At thirteen she was ready to explore the entire world, learn fighting and this new world. Her emotions were not easily hidden on her innocent face. Her pain was evident in the crease of her lovely brow and the down-curve of her full lips. But her eyes, her eyes showed her soul. They were a deep pool of restless gold, an ocean of hopeless grief.

My Best Friend
"You're leaving for Scotland ?" I asked in astonishment. "When ?" My best friend, Katherine stared into my blue eyes. "Tonight." "Wait, what ? You're leaving tonight and you didn't even tell me earlier ?" No, she wouldn't do this. She must have been joking. She shrugged. Her brown eyes shined under the sun. "I now tell you." "Yeah. Thanks for telling me now." I folded my arms in front of my chest. "But why ?" "I need to start over a new life." She moved her sight away, not looking at me. I shook my head. This wasn't right. "You think that I can manage my high school life without my best friend ?" Her blonde curls were blown in the wind. "Then make a new one." She said still facing Thames. "What ? You are the only one that I can talk about those boys-" She cut me off, "About the boys, don't judge their faces again, please. As I always have said, keep personality in mind." I stood there dumbfounded. What was happening ? "Goodbye, Andy." She then walked away. 2016. JanuaryComplete

For the booksmart yet naïve 16-year-old Nicky, high school in her quaint little hometown island in the Philippines had always been predictable. Until that senior year. Nicky thought she got things all figured out. She'd be very good at school and be the valedictorian of the single-section class of 2010 of the highly looked-up science high school in their island. And then, she'd get a full scholarship to her dream university. All was fairly well except for a few things like grappling her feelings towards a long-time crush. Just when Nicky thought she could get through high school without too much boy-drama, a somewhat seemingly love life with a boy or two and suddenly, maybe even three was finally catching up with her during the last few months before high school graduation. She had never thought she could be wrong about a person. And that she could always be wrong about boys... ✨✨✨ Sidenote: I wrote this from November 2010 to April 2011, only a year ahead from the time set in the novel. This was fully uploaded on Wattpad in September 2013 for safekeeping. I hadn't gotten back to it in so many years nor find any means and time to promote it. This had long been completed but still needs edit. Enjoy reading! Cheers! P.S. This is not exactly a love story. And yet, it may read a lot like it.Complete

No One Raised Me, But You (Completed)
Started:6/24/25 Ended: 7/1/25 > Wala akong gabay. Wala akong tinig na nagsabi kung tama ba 'yung ginagawa ko. Wala akong kamay na humila sa'kin palayo sa gulo. Iniwan ako ng nanay ko para sa ibang lalaki. At ang tatay ko? Lagi siyang wala. Abala sa trabaho, sa kumpanya, sa kung saan. Hindi niya alam na unti-unti na akong nawawala. Akala ko okay lang maging bastos, sumagot, maglayas, manakit. Akala ko normal lang maging ako-yung walang pakialam. Pero dumating siya. Tahimik. Palaging seryoso. Ayoko sa kanya nung una-masungit, preskong presidente ng school. Pero habang tumatagal, siya 'yung tanging tao na... pinagsabihan ako. Hinintay akong magbago. Tinuruan akong rumespeto. Hindi dahil kailangan-kundi dahil gusto niya akong matutong mahalin ang sarili ko. No one raised me... but you did. And now, I don't know how to live without you.Complete
