Amalia Rae Torreva, a second-year architecture student, doesn't live her life that much as she wanted to. She's always been an option, always being compared to others, always getting hurt. Never been one's choice. Not to a family, friend... Simply not to everybody. That's how miserable her life is.
She is always treated as the back-up friend, only noticed when they need something. She only has herself, but that is more than enough to stand up for herself and for someone she love. She also has Chico- her pomeranian dog- daisies, and her obsession in painting. It helps her in coping from her problems.
Then, suddenly, Vance Emery Otto came into her life. A shiftee student from the College of Criminology. He needed to cope up with all his missed major subjects from the first year and their professor told Amalia to help him- and of course, she had no choice.
Her pure intention is to teach and help Vance. But, Vance seems to have a plan along with their situation. He wants to make her feel that she's not an option, make her feel valid and valued.
But in the middle of their blooming relationship, there appeared his first lover. Will Vance finally make her feel chosen or will he be like others who made her feel optioned?

Lost In The Hallway
--- ✨ Story Description Sierra Vale has always been the quiet one-the girl who slips through crowded hallways with her sketchbook clutched tight and her head full of songs from TikTok trends she'll never dare to post. Her best friend, Zara Castell, is the opposite: bold, dramatic, and the kind of girl who believes life is too short not to take risks. But on the very first day of boarding school, Zara dashes off to call her long-distance boyfriend, leaving Sierra wandering the halls alone... and directly into Theo Frost. Literally. At first, Sierra mistakes him for a wall-until she looks up and finds herself face-to-face with the school's effortlessly confident heartthrob. Theo is charming, teasing, and far too good at making Sierra blush. She wants nothing more than to crawl into a hole and forget the whole thing ever happened. Except fate has other plans. From awkward run-ins to late-night study sessions, hoodie-sharing, and far too many dares pushed on by Zara, Sierra finds herself caught between wanting to disappear and realizing maybe-just maybe-someone like Theo sees her more clearly than she sees herself. A story about first crushes, growing confidence, and finding magic in the most embarrassing moments-The Way You Look at Me is a swoony rom-com full of blushes, banter, and a love that sneaks up when you least expect it. ---
