Ambitious academic, Geneva, is at a crossroads.
Taking a gap year to focus solely on her college applications, unaddressed fears and inner demons resurface as she is forced to determine what she really wants for the future. Coupled with the increased pressure and high expectations from the people around her, she plunges into a deep state of catharsis and self-reflection.
Helpless, she finds solace among a group of high-schoolers, whose music is their passion. Her poems, the only creative outlet in which she truly pours out her soul into, help the struggling band find their rhythm once more.
Perhaps, even find herself in the process.

Demons Within (GL)
University Girl Love Romance Fah has always lived life on a well-planned path-good grades, close-knit friends, and a future that seems certain. At university, she has everything she needs, including Phat, the boy who has always been by her side. But when Nara, a mysterious transfer student with a guarded past, enters her world, something shifts. At first, it's subtle-a lingering glance, an unspoken tension, a question left unanswered. But as their lives begin to intertwine, Fah finds herself drawn to Nara in a way she doesn't understand... or maybe refuses to admit. As whispers spread across campus and friendships are tested, Fah must confront the truth she's been avoiding. But the closer she gets to Nara, the more she realises-some feelings cannot be ignored, and some choices cannot be undone. In a world where expectations define everything, will Fah have the courage to listen to her own heart? A slow-burn, emotionally charged university romance that explores love, identity, and the fear of falling for the unexpected.

It Started in Spanish
Anthony stops at my bare shoulder and leans down to press a hot kiss onto the skin. "You can't say things like that.." He delivers another, this one to my collarbone and making my words grow weak, unconvincing ... even as they come from my own mouth. "We're supposed to be ... friends." Anthony is quiet at first, the only response I get being his free hand drifting over to cage my body into the small space between us. "I know .." He trails off. It goes dead silent for a second. "But I ... don't think that's enough for me, B." There's a sharp breath from me at the words and a flush of heat to my cheeks when Anthony pushes my hair over my shoulder. His actions expose me to him, showing off my bare shoulders in a way that's downright indecent as the straps pulled down now hang loosely off my arms. "I don't want .. to be just a friend to you." And then, there's another kiss to pair. Although it isn't a simple peck this time. It's an actual kiss now, slow and softly pressed onto my neck. Beatrix thought she'd never trust another guy again. After being burned, both physically and emotionally by her ex-boyfriend Rudy in her senior year of high school, Beatrix's trust in people is low. That is, until she transfers to the esteemed, private Highland University. It's a fresh start to give the girl what she wants most: A shot at normalcy. The plan is simple .. just keep her head down, study her ass off, try to become a functional person once again and hopefully make one friend or two. Everything was supposed to start over that year. She'd had high hopes of starting anew and faithfully prepared to blend in to the background. And the day goes well. Until she sits down in Spanish, where she meets Anthony Gamaro. After a slight misunderstanding, Beatrix finds herself in an odd friendship with the 20 year old football player. One that slowly helps her regain the confidence she'd long lost before.
