Aching with the phantom touch of a love unspoken, Violet Clayton returns to her hometown, her heart a dusty attic of longing. Seven years have passed, each one etched with silent sighs for Kenneth Andrews, the town's golden boy. His name, a whisper on her lips, never daring to reach his ears, forever tuned to another's tune.
Her life, a watercolor painted in the delicate hues of friendship and family, holds the faintest brushstrokes of unrequited dreams. Two cherished friends, their laughter a balm to her unspoken wounds, and a cozy family, their warmth a flickering candle against the darkness of his absence.
Kenneth, a sculpted marble statue draped in sunlight and wealth, remains an impossible ideal. His smile, a sunbeam stolen by another. His gaze, a distant galaxy she can only admire from afar.
But fate, a mischievous artist with a paintbrush dipped in starlight, throws a splash of crimson onto her canvas. A new love, a budding rose blooming in the shadows of her past. Yet, its thorny stem brushes against the faded portrait of him, her first love, a ghost refusing to be exorcised.
Torn between the whispers of the past and the siren song of the present, Violet stands at a crossroads. Will she rewrite her heart's story, painting over the grayscale of unrequited love with vibrant hues of a new dawn? Or will the echo of his name forever drown out the whispers of a future painted not for him, but for her?

All I Want (Completed) !Under Editing!
"Ow! My face!" I whined. "Didn't think you would be falling for me already." A husky, rich and velvety voice came. I opened my eyes. I saw feet and followed the feet up to a face. Deep brown eyes searched my soul and dark brown hair flipped as a hand ran through them. I hadn't realized I was staring, much less at his face. "Like what you see, Lee?" He smirked with a wink. "I'm sorry, who are you and no." I glared and frowned. He gaped, "You don't know who I am?" "Are you deaf? I just asked who you are?!" His gape turned into a smirk. "All the more fun. I know more then you think, princess." His eyes held many levels of mischief. "So, you gonna tell me, or should I walk away now?" I glanced at the snack table, hoping he would catch on. "Sassy! I like it." His smirk widened, "Now princess, my name is Clayton, Clayton Smith." _________________________________________________________________________________ Monica Lee is a 16 year old Junior.

The Ones we Shouldn't Love: ACT I
It starts fast-like lightning striking dry earth. What begins as a spark becomes a fire neither of them can contain. It's the kind of love that keeps you up at night, wide-eyed and breathless, not out of fear, but because you can't bear to miss a single moment. It bruises the heart in places no one sees, but never breaks it-never harms it. Just leaves fingerprints, soft and lingering. Leaving would be easier if love ever truly left. But it doesn't. It lingers in the walls, in the sheets, in the silence between words. One heart clings to memory, loving what was. The other leans into the unknown, loving what might be. And somewhere in between, love becomes a duty-an unspoken promise, heavy and unshakable. All she wants is quiet now. Not the silence of loneliness, but the stillness of peace. A place where her heart doesn't have to choose between two kinds of love-only rest in the safety of her own.
