ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ A story of a writer who found her creative catalyst, her artistic guide; her muse.
When she met him for the first time, she gazed at him with awe. Even after seeing him a thousand times, she was unable to take her eyes off of him. She glances at him from afar, hoping he wouldn't notice while secretly hoping he does the same. She was quiet with her heartbeats, even holding her own breath just so he wouldn't hear the strums of her heartstrings longing for him, the muse to every piece she wrote.
How hopelessly amused she was with him, like she was enamoured with him. She just hopes that her muted heartstrings and quiet peeks will remain unnoticed by him.

Fate On The Rocks
Serene never expected to see Ronald again, not after four years of silence and distance. Yet, in a bar filled with strangers, there he is-sitting alone at the counter, lost in thought, a glass in his hand. She should turn away, focus on the life she built without him,her fiancé by her side, the present she chose. But for one fleeting moment, the past refuses to stay buried. Ronald doesn't look up, but he feels it-that undeniable shift in the air, the ghost of something unfinished pressing against him. And then, as if pulled by an invisible thread, he lifts his gaze. Their eyes meet. Serene's pulse stumbles. A split second, a breath too sharp-and then she blinks, shifting her gaze to anything,anyone else to escape his gaze piercing right through every nerve of her body They do not speak, do not acknowledge the history lingering between them, but in the unspoken, everything remains. Some stories don't need words to remind you they're not over. *Contains smut*
between pride and emotions" A Dance Of Shadow And Light "(volume 1)
In high school The common world of adolescence. Some find it miserable and some find it the best, Kiyotaka is a quiet introverted guy who keeps to himself. With only a few classmates he talks to out of necessity, he lives a solitary life, preferring distance over friendship. To him, most people are just background noise-unremarkable and easy to ignore. Then there's Alya, his seatmate. To everyone else, she's cold and prideful, with an aura that pushes others away. Her classmates see her as arrogant and unapproachable, and she's fine with that. But Kiyotaka is different. He doesn't see her like everyone else does. Somehow, he looks past the coldness, and that makes her feel something unexpected. Though Alya finds herself drawn to him, she can't admit it, not even to herself. Her pride won't let her; showing any hint of emotion feels like a weakness. And so, she pretends she doesn't care, keeping up her distant, aloof image. Yet, she can't help but wonder if Kiyotaka sees her as just a classmate or if he cares for her in a way she secretly hopes he does. For Kiyotaka, Alya might be just a seatmate. But for her, he's become something more-a quiet fascination she can't shake. Their connection is fragile and unspoken, yet it lingers, leaving her to question what lies behind his gaze and if she dares to find out.
Maybe
An internal voice whispered, "Call him." But I chose not to. I dismissed it once more, saying, "He never liked me anyway." Yet the dilemma lingered. "But maybe he does. The way he looks at you... it's different." Out of nowhere, he glanced my way. My heartbeat quickened, sending shivers down my spine. I averted my gaze, pretending to look around. "Has he noticed me? No, wait-oh my god." --- After switching high schools, Nina discovered a new way of life. She fell in love, made wonderful friends, and everything seemed perfect. But Ethan-a popular boy who never focused on anyone but her-was the object of her hatred. He was always there, always keeping her safe. He used to annoy her endlessly. She hated him deeply. Until she didn't. For a while, she was content with her high school experience. That is, until something mysterious turned her world upside down. Forced to move to a new city, Nina had to cut ties with everyone she once knew. Eight years later, fate brings her face-to-face with him again. "Ethan..." He's the key to everything-the truths she never knew. When she was lost in the dark, he always held the light. But now, things are different. She despises him. He's colder than ever. Or perhaps she fears him. Fears that he'll leave her again. Will their lives ever return to normal after everything they've endured? "Maybe?" "Maybe yes. Maybe no?" --- Started: 8 November 2021 Ended: 19 December 2022 Rewritten: December 2024 --- ### Rankings Goals So Far: #1 Adolescente #1 given up #1 blinddates #1 pretend #10 twistedromance #50 high school romance --- ### Notice: This is my first published story, and it contains numerous grammatical errors and bad editing.

Between Glances
She sees him every day, and each time, her heart races a little faster, hoping for something more than the casual, fleeting glances they exchange. He's charming, quiet, and always so close-within arm's reach, yet always just out of her grasp. Their interactions are brief, often accompanied by a charged silence that neither dares to break. There's an unspoken tension between them, a magnetic pull that neither seems able to resist, but something always keeps them from stepping past that delicate line between familiarity and desire. Whether it's the weight of their unacknowledged feelings or the fear of disrupting the fragile balance they've created, they remain suspended in a world of what-ifs. As their glances linger longer and the silence stretches between them, the question remains: will they find the courage to close the distance, or will they continue dancing around their feelings, too afraid to leap into the unknown?Complete![Help Me Pick Up The Pieces {Completed} (GirlXGirl) [TeacherXStudent]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/67221877-256-k987283.jpg)

Aetherwell
"Aetherwell" is a tapestry woven with threads of love, confusion, and raw, untamed chaos. At its heart lies Solona, a teenager utterly unlike any other. Raised in the secluded simplicity of a forgotten corner of the world, she grew up in the profound ignorance of humanity's true nature. The very concept of magic, the mystical currents that flow beneath the surface of reality, was utterly foreign to her until the day she was found. Lost and adrift, a flicker of vulnerability in the vast wilderness, she was discovered by the coven - a clandestine group whose existence shattered her naive worldview. Plunged into a world of arcane rituals and hidden power, Solona grapples with a maelstrom of emotions. She's overwhelmed by the sheer magnitude of her latent abilities, powers that bloom haphazardly, both exhilarating and terrifying in their unpredictability. Every spell is a struggle, a dance with forces she barely understands, and fear often whispers at her shoulders, threatening to consume her. But amidst this dizzying transformation, a new feeling blossoms, a forbidden flame sparked by the enigmatic presence of Dorian. Dorian is the embodiment of everything Solona is not: composed, brilliant, and effortlessly powerful. He is the top student, the star pupil of the coven, his magic imbued with precision and grace. He moves through this world of enchantments with a confidence that both intimidates and captivates Solona. As she struggles to master her powers, a burgeoning passion for this captivating young man takes root, further complicating her already tumultuous journey. Aetherwell isn't just about magic; it's about the fragile beauty of first love blooming amidst the storm, and the chaotic path of self-discovery in a world that has suddenly become far more complex than she ever imagined.![Holding on and Letting go [Complete]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/206158541-256-k510411.jpg)
Holding on and Letting go [Complete]
[BLURB] "Well, now I'm back and I'm gonna drag you to court, you piece of shite," she said before passing a humorless chortle. "Do that and you're doomed." He sniggered, his manevolent gaze hurling obscenities towards her. "Oh yeah? How?" She rose a perfect eyebrow, animosity etched on each lineament. "Let's just say, I have something of yours that'll destroy you." The telltale monstrosity perceptible in his evil kingdom of eyes set a havoc inside her adrenaline rushing body but she held her grounds strong. "And what's that?" And there he showed her something that choked the life out of her frail body as she lost her balance in dizziness. ****** Love is elusive but sometimes it knocks right at your door but you're too arrogant to pay it any heed or maybe too scared to acknowledge it. Either way, destiny always knows how to play its part well. You can ignore it but can never run away from it. It never lets you evade itself and follows you everywhere, like a shadow. Crooning and spreading its arms right open at you, enveloping you from every nook, cajoling you, brandishing your tattered soul, and enticing you to the point where you have to surrender and accept it. Where you have to hold on to it and let everything else go. Because sometimes all a ragged soul and a chasm heart need is a pint of love. The tale of two youngsters who kept finding their way towards each other no matter how hard they tried to ignore it. Life would always collide their paths. Always making up their minds to never see each other again to always bumping on each other, destiny already had something else in store for them. So what was it? A journey of loathing to love. A journey of holding on and letting go.Complete
