It is Sia Valencia's ultimate wish to become a full-fledged published writer. But with her seventh rejection, this time from Liberia Publishing, she might as well bid goodbye to that dream and say hello to a life at law school, a life her dad has been planning for her ever since she was young. To make things worse, Marc Ramirez, her obnoxious classmate from high school, turns out to be the brother of the publishing editor who rejected her work.
But the editor sees potential in Sia and her work, and thinks it would be a shame for such passion to go to waste. So he gives her one more shot: she has to write a novel in one week, provided that she spends that same week with Marc.
Seven days with the insufferable Marc Ramirez, but a chance for her novel to get published. How far is Sia willing to go for her dream?

HEART AND HERO (SAMPLER)
(EXCERPT ONLY! This Wattpad Version only includes a few chapters and is a Sampler.) KARLA has always loved Superheroes. Always watching the news on local crime fighters who fly around the capital and save the day. Now if they were only inspiring enough to help her power through her first year at New Hero University, a mysterious school no one seems to know about, tucked away in a city by a mountain. What Karla didn't count on was that she enrolled in a school exclusively for superhumans-care of an elaborate scheme made by the country's superhuman government, The Organization. Suddenly, Karla is caught between being the girl of a prophecy meant to either bridge the secret world of superhumans with the non-supers, or be a threat of destruction to all. But she doesn't even have any powers yet. As if all that wasn't hard enough, she's a fumbling mess in the presence of her crush, Andre. ANDRE already expected that at the very least his Junior year at New Hero University will be anything but static. After being appointed stand-in leader of Blue Team and getting dumped by his long-time girlfriend, he's at an all-time low. But when a new mission involves protecting the prophecy girl and ensuring she doesn't discover the truth of why she's there, he finds out he's the last person anyone should trust near someone that important. Especially with his difficulty controlling electric abilities. But Karla seems to have this strange tendency to wander into his corner. Soon a significant connection between the two leads the Head of the Organization to believe that maybe Andre had something important to do with the prophecy of Heroes as well. Together, they must work to ensure the safety of all worlds, super or not. Heart and Hero is the first in a series of YA Books by Gianne Rabena, published with Midnight Tide Publishing.

Picture Picture
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
