Head Over Heels
Lila Daniels has spent all of her life living under the protective wings of her three older brothers, Charlie, Lucas and Tucker or in the gymnastics gym training.

Being forced to transplant her life to the small town of Romeo without her brothers or gymnastics means Lila is on her own for the first time in her life. How is she supposed to start over from scratch and make new friends now?! The thought of having to meet all new people for someone who likes to fly under the radar is hard enough, but to do it at age sixteen? That feels impossible. As fate would have it, Lila meets Payton Johnson on her first day at RHS who introduces her to Rachel, Kelly and Claire. The five become fast friends.

Where the Sun Finds Us
🌤️ Where the Sun Finds Us Sometimes, the light you've been chasing... finds you first. In the middle of her midlife crisis, Lei thought the chaotic part of her life was finally over. But sometimes, in the midst of all the noise, that's where new stories begin. One day, she receives an unexpected scholarship to Celestra Republic's most prestigious academy - a school for the nation's brightest minds and top celebrities completing their mandatory academic enlistment. Lei's plan was simple: a fresh start. Quiet. Far from everything that once hurt. But instead of peace, she found five of the country's most famous personalities - each carrying a secret behind their spotlight. A golden-retriever boy with tired eyes. A med student who laughs to hide his guilt. A gentle heir who has everything, except the courage to be real. A composed idol adored by millions but haunted by a past he can't face. And his best friend - someone who somehow feels familiar, even though they've just met. But Lei is different. She's the contrast - the calm to their chaos. She was raised in a home filled with warmth, where love was steady, laughter was constant, and kindness was taught not through words, but through how people treated one another. And that kind of upbringing - she slowly begins to bring it back to the people she meets in Celestra. To those who've forgotten what real happiness feels like. To those who've learned to fake smiles just to survive. Because that's what she was taught - to give the same gentleness she was once given. To be the kind of light that doesn't blind, but heals. And maybe, as she helps them find their own sunshine, Lei will learn how to become the light she's been searching for all along. Because sometimes, you don't have to chase the sun. Sometimes, you just have to be the warmth someone else has been searching for. ✨ A story about kindness passed down, love rediscovered, and how the way we're raised can shape the light we bring into the world.

This is the type of love you wish you found in high school but probably know way too well that it only exists as fiction. Today I'm turning my fiction to reality. ❣️•••❣️ Excerpt: Just as I was about to seek shelter under some building's roof, the tires of a car come to a halt, I wonder who might pity the lonely girl walking in the rain. The passenger window rolls down, and I spot the most unexpected person seated behind the wheel. "Get in" comes out his voice, and I must've stood there agape for a few moments because next comes his rhetorical question. "Are you getting in or continuing walking in the rain?" Eyebrows raised expectantly. He sounds annoyed, like he regrets his decision to ever stop and help me. ❣️•••❣️ #5 in cynical #2 in loveandfriendship #1 in opinionated #4 in ihatelife #10 in nerdgirl #10 in HighschoolRomance #26 in GoodGirlBadBoy *contains mature themes. *contains cursing.Complete
