Leona Velerio is like sunshine-cheerful, energetic, and always ready to brighten up a room. Gabriel Chavez, on the other hand, is tall, kind, and effortlessly charming. Back in senior high school, he was the quiet, thoughtful type who everyone admired, especially Leona.
Leona was always trying to get his attention-teasing him during class, making playful comments, and finding ways to be near him. But Gabriel, polite and friendly as he was, never seemed to notice how much she liked him.
Now, years later, they meet again by chance. Leona is still as lively as ever, and Gabriel seems even more confident and kind. As they reconnect, their different personalities spark something new-Leona's bright energy pulling Gabriel out of his shell, while Gabriel's calm nature gives Leona a sense of peace.
In this second chance, can Leona finally win the heart of the boy she admired for so long? Or will they remain just as they were before-two different worlds that never truly connect?

Shes into me (sodanination)
Sophia Laforteza never really cared about love. To her, love was just something people liked to exaggerate-messy, dramatic, and definitely not worth the heartbreak. She thought she was safe from it... until Daniela Avanzini showed up with that stupid smile and eyes that looked like they already knew all her secrets. Daniela is loud, fearless, and the kind of girl who makes people stare without even trying. She walks like she owns every room she enters. Sophia hates that. Or at least, that's what she keeps telling herself. It starts with teasing. Then the late-night thoughts. Then that uncomfortable feeling in her chest whenever Daniela laughs with someone else. She says it's nothing. Just annoyance. Just curiosity. Just... her being weird. But if it's really nothing, then why does it feel like everything?Complete
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
