How long does it take for unwinding webs to finally snap at ripe dawns and risen suns?
How many liked messages and desperate hugs would fill the gap between platonic soulmates or destined lovers?
And how could they be destined lovers - for the flashing lights caught stolen glances and secret touches meant to be kept behind the scenes.
It's 2017 - house parties, pop music, starbucks, beaches and surfing, California nights, being the IT girl, making musicallys while the waves weakened.
Hayley Hastings' life could be soundtracked by a niche pop song or the sound of seagulls flying above California waters - incredibly intense yet absolutely gorgeous.
Being a teenager in the city had the blue eyed blonde ready for anything life brought her way.
Just maybe not online. Not a girl. And definitely not one in a whole other continent away from her.
Unbeknownst to Hayley, Lena Mantler would become a name she would never forget - and not because of the "top muser" leaderboards.
There are many ways you can use the word "flicker." - Maybe a flicker of light, or a photograph - or a flicker of butterflies swarming to the depths of your stomach.
Only there deemed to be no correct definition, for Hayley Hastings could never find a way to get rid of this particular flicker.
Not even six years later.

Astrid
Carter slowly walked towards me, butterflies swarming in my stomach, filling every inch of me. "Assi." he grabbed my wrists, and made me look at him. "Who was that song about?" "You know who." "Was it... about me?" "What would you say if it was?" I cocked my head to the side, our eyes staying connected with each other. "I wouldn't say." he moved closer to me, towering over by the slightest bit as his breath surrounded my every nerve. He leant down, took a sharp breath and connected our lips. - Astrid was a beautiful girl, who had lost her sense of who she was and where she belonged. She went through something traumatic at only 14, but no one noticed. She moved to Roseville for a fresh start with her best friend Kaitlyn by her side. But Carter notices. He was a "bad boy" with a heart of gold (ik it's cliché) . He never let anything slip by him. He doesn't say anything as their personalities clash and they hate each other. You know what they say, there is a thin line between love and hate. Will these two step over the line? But sometimes, running away from your problems doesn't go down unnoticed. The very person Astrid ran away from is after her, and this time, the consequences will be worse. -- This is an enemies-friends-lovers book and they become friends early on because I find it difficult to write going from enemies to lovers so yeah. *unedited book* #1 in talent show (29/02/24)Complete

Always
"It's real, Kyler. Some people don't get their happy endings. Some lovers don't end up together in any life." She paused, her voice softening. "It's just the way the world is." She sighed a breath. "The ending to Romeo and Juliet was something the world would want, right? A sad ending for the rest but a happy one for the lovers." She picked at a loose thread on her sweater. "I don't like stories like that. I don't want a story like that." I found myself reaching out and took us both by surprise when I gripped her hand in mine. "We don't have to be what the world wants us to be, Luna. We can be whoever we want to be." *** Going into his senior year, Kyler knew things were going to change. But never in a thousand years had he imagined them to change the way they did. He had never expected to sneak out late almost every night just to see her. He had never expected to be dancing under the stars, with her clutched in his arms. He had never, ever expected for his heart to pound so furiously every time she was around. And he had certainly never expected the girl next door to change his life forever. But she did. And it all started when Kyler Anderson crossed paths with the gorgeous new girl. *** "We can write our own story, with our own endings." I whispered. "Fuck the world." She smiled a hesitant smile. Then grinned. "Yeah." She whispered back. "Fuck the world."Complete
