The Love I Manifest
Vanya is a girl of few words, a heart guarded by past scars and trust broken too many times. Introverted, independent, yet quietly yearning for love, she finds herself drawn to Madhav - Her World, Her Everything. She's careful not to let anyone in, yet beneath her calm exterior lies a quiet rebellious streak. Silently mischievous, she acts on her impulses in small, clever ways, letting her naughtiness speak louder than words. On the outside, she's calm - almost serene - but inside, she's a storm. Fierce, untamed, and impossible to suppress. When someone messes with her or her loved ones, she doesn't scream or create a scene - she strikes where it hurts the most, with silence sharper than words and actions stronger than revenge. But most of the time, she chooses to ignore - to walk away from fights, to stay untouched by unnecessary drama. She builds her peace like a fortress, protecting it from chaos. She is like this... Until someone enters her life Like Storm- and changes everything. He shakes her world in ways she never expected. From laughter to chaos, from small adventures to unexpected challenges, he slowly changes the way she sees love, trust, and herself. As Vanya navigates her fears, insecurities, and past traumas, He becomes the catalyst for her growth- showing her that love can be gentle, fun, and transformative all at once. The Love I Manifest is a story of discovering joy, courage, and connection in the most unexpected places...and learning to open your heart to someone who truly sees you. Sometimes, it's hard to forget the past...but with someone who truly understands, it's not impossible.
Somebody Like You
Step one: graduate. Step two: accidentally sleep with your best friend. Step three: get trapped working summer camp together because your other best friend has no sense of boundaries. Now Enya and Maddie are sharing a cabin, pretending nothing happened, and doing a terrible job at it. It's hot. It's messy. It's gay. * * * The summer before college was supposed to be chill; sunburns, iced lattes, maybe a mild existential crisis. But when Skylar signs everyone up to be counselors at a middle school camp, Enya and Maddie find themselves trapped in a mosquito-infested nightmare... together. One small problem: They may or may not have ACCIDENTALLY hooked up after graduation. And Maddie is convinced Enya planned the whole thing. Between canoe races gone wrong, s'mores that end in arguments, and bunkhouse confessions they swore would never happen again, both girls are about to learn that feelings aren't something you can logic your way out of-or yell your way past. Because sometimes the person who drives you craziest... is the one who feels like home.

[Wattpad's Summer Reading Checklist 2022 Pick] "'Hella heavy' is your response to seeing me with a literal fish tail?" "Sorry. Should ... should it be something else? Wait, does this mean that you can't eat sushi?" * * * * * When Alyssa shows up in Hulhazy Front a week after wiping the memory of her partner, she's terrified of ruining everything again. Her brother and dad are convinced she'll be okay as soon as she's able to "move on", which makes no sense to her, because they sound like the exact same thing. Alyssa doesn't care about moving on--she just cares about hiding the fact that she's a mermaid from this new small town, and especially her new coworker, Elliot. Elliot has spent the past year trying to figure out how to be out. It seems that every time she finds some kind of balance, something has to happen. Her parents say something homophobic before she's about to confess her "big secret," or her old friends from the swim team make some jab about all the things they're convinced Elliot did sophomore year. She's planning on her summer consisting of working at the public pool, hiding her sexuality, and third-wheeling it up with her best friends, Neema and Duncan. Until, of course, she meets Alyssa. *cover created using graphics from freepik*Complete
Echoes of Rejection: Learning to Love Again
Fifty-one rejections. Fifty-one times my heart was broken, including the girl I thought I'd never stop loving. After that, I swore I'd never fall for anyone again. Love became a game I refused to play - every smile, every kind gesture from a girl felt like a trap. Years passed. College came. I buried myself in studies, friends, and distractions, building walls so high no one could reach me. Until she appeared. Aya. Gentle, patient, and fearless in ways I hadn't known existed. She didn't chase me, didn't push. She simply stayed - quietly, persistently, until I realized the walls I'd built were trembling. But trust doesn't come easy. Fear lingers. Past heartbreaks echo. Can I let myself be vulnerable again? Or will my own walls keep me from the love I've always wanted? A slow-burn story of heartbreak, self-discovery, and the courage it takes to let someone in - even when you've sworn you never will.
