Anoush Manikas is a lot of things at once - a proud Greek-Armenian, a first-generation American, a rising high school senior, a dancer, a straight-A student, and a Juilliard hopeful. She also happens to be the second child and only daughter of legendary heavy metal guitarist Giannis Manikas. She doesn't let that get to her head, though. She's just Anoush, and she likes it that way.
Anoush is in a weird phase of her life. She comes from a family of artists, writers, musicians, and athletes, and she doesn't want to be the only one without a claim to fame. But she wants to get it herself, not because of who her father is. Being 17 is hard enough without the existential crisis of being a celebrity's kid. How will she ever learn to stand out on her own two feet?

But it's only 5.5 credits that she has left before she graduates. While she's going to school, she meets some guys who have been trying to find a person who can sing and she auditions for them to be the singer of their band Tonight Alive. Tay Jardine is the only 26 year old music teacher at the high school because she's the only one who applied for the job and because it's an alternative high school. Like what kind of person wants to work at an alternative high school? She only applied partly because she does care about the musical arts being taught in schools seeing as how it can help students for the most part on being able to work better and such, but also because she needs a job until she's able to find music label that will take on her and her band We Are The In Crowd. Sorry. This is literally my first fanfiction and pretty much first time writing a StudentxTeacher or GirlxGirl story.Complete

Seems like a wonderful life, right? Most good things come with at least one catch, though: He's blind. Following a move from Washington to New York, Zach struggles to fit in with everyone else. Little did he know that high school across the country would be extremely different than back home. He would endure new town, new home, new friends, but also new hardships. Will Zach find a way to fit in with his new surroundings? Then, there's Kelsey Davis, one of the popular girls of the school. She's beautiful, charming, and, of course, she can be a bit questionable. Luckily, there's almost always a side to people that nobody sees. Hanging out with the wrong crowd has gotten to Kelsey's nerves, but she doesn't want to leave her friends. Having such a reputation with the entire school has extremely high standards, and she can't meet them anymore. Will everything change when she notices a unique boy among the crowds who might need a friend? *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Disclaimer: This is the very first book that I ever wrote. It was created in the Fall of 2018 by a 15-year-old girl who had no idea how to construct and develop a story. It's still a very precious story to my heart and I will always keep it published here. :) Word Count: ~70,000-75,000Complete
Teen Drama
This book is a sample of 5 chapters only and can now be found on Amazon Kindle Kayla is a smart, focused, top-mark student in her last two senior years of high school in a private facility for rich kids in Florida. All she wants is to get accepted to Harvard and graduate with top marks to follow the career she has set for herself. Her entire life is about becoming an independent and successful vet. She has micro-managed it and planned it to the tiniest detail. Leaving no room for a social life or living her teen years like her peers. This year has had its ups and downs, with her stepbrother of almost ten years coming to live under the same roof after being raised apart after their parents married. The chaos and drama his appearance has brought since he despises not only his father but Kayla's mother too, has made home tense. He's a rude, defiant, and arrogant pain in her ass who is hellbent on causing trouble and listens to no one. Dane is the polar opposite in every way - Vain, oversexed, a playboy who takes nothing seriously except booze, girls, and his motorbike while he rebels in every way against his father for ripping apart his family. Looking like a teen idol, acting like someone who doesn't need to take accountability for anything in his life, Kayla honestly cannot stand him. She sees a loser who will live on daddy's money and drink away his youth while sleeping with every girl in the county. At 17, they have known one another most of their lives and never had any kind of friendly relationship. They have always been classmates but never friends and definitely not siblings. - but all that is about to change. A series of events pulls them closer, a forbidden and unexpected accidental kiss, and they plummet into confusion as feelings grow that neither expected. Slowly the walls come down between them, and they have far more in common than they ever imagined.Complete
His Spotlight
Aaliyah is a regular eighteen-year-old girl. She lives in a small flower shop with an even smaller friend group. However, one thing that is not small, is her love for a boy. A boy who doesn't know of her or the heart flutters she feels for him. To him, she is just another ordinary girl who, like the rest of his fans, adores him dearly. Her room is crowded with his smiles and his movies are no exception. He is the perfect love interest behind a screen. That is until she comes face-to-face with her movie star Jackson Connor at his upcoming premiere. He has it all. The chocolate brown hair, the piercing green eyes, and the smirks that earn him the title of America's heartthrob. But, under his seemingly perfect visage of wealth and talent is insecurity and darkness just waiting to break free. When his eyes lay on hers, she is pulled into a movie that lives within his gaze. Her amazement, now seeming sweet, soon turns sour and leaves Aaliyah clawing her way out of it. Aaliyah should hate Jackson, and she does... but with more twists to uncover and their chemistry becoming harder to ignore, the two drastically different souls claim each other as their own. She hates attention. He craves it. He will do anything to shield her from the flashes and headlines even if it means leaving her in the dark and untangling her seemingly strong friendships. Will Aaliyah be able to handle his harsh past and merciless expectations or will she find herself straying away from the truth and her own personal movie star? • Book cover | Abbie_1412Complete

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
