Patrienne Ysabel Gonido has always been the carefree, happy-go-lucky girl of Barangay Anilaw, where peace reigns and conflict is a distant memory. Growing up surrounded by family and friends, her life seemed perfect-simple, quiet, and free of the world's chaos. Her dream was to live that way forever, wrapped in the warmth of her small, idyllic community.
But when the time comes to pursue her college education, there is no school in her hometown. Forced to leave the comfort of her sheltered life, Patrienne steps into a world far more ruthless than she could have imagined. Confronted with harsh realities, she begins to realize how unforgiving life can be-even for those who wish for nothing more than peace and the chance to chase their dreams.

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
Echoes of Us
"She was the silence I craved. I was the chaos she never expected." Rachelle Azrielle De Leon was the type who lived in shadows-quiet, composed, and always a step away from everyone else. With eyes always fixed on her books, she kept her world tightly locked, hiding scars from a broken family and the insecurities she couldn't name aloud. Smart, secretive, and painfully self-aware-she made sure no one got too close. Then came Seraphina Marceline Clemente-fiery, athletic, and effortlessly magnetic. She lived like life was one big game, and she played to win. Loud laughter, confident strides, and a smile that could make even the coldest day feel like summer-Seraphina wasn't just the sunshine; she was the whole damn sky. When they became classmates, they were nothing more than opposites forced to share the same space. No sparks. No tension. Just passing glances-two lives on parallel lines. But love? Love has a habit of slipping in when you're not looking. And three months into the school year, their lines finally crossed-for real. And once they did, neither of them could pretend they hadn't noticed. Disclaimer & Credits This story is a work of fiction published on Wattpad.

I wished for a Boyfriend not a Girlfriend (GxG, Lesbian) °editing°
I was awakened by a buzz, but I don't want to get up, instead I lay still on my bed and about to dream again when I heard a THUD, I flinched at the sound. It's Saturday so I'm not expecting anyone at this early in the morning. I'm not a morning person, I am now annoyed to whoever it is. "Coming!" I yelled and started walking which took me sometime because I literally took my time, don't blame me I'm still sleepy, I opened the door to see a very beautiful woman, she has long wavy hair, thick eyelashes and pink pout lips and lastly... a body to die for. I frowned when I realized a high-school student? I can say because she's wearing a uniform. What is a beautiful high-school girl doing here knocking at my door? I asked mentally. I was about to ask her when she suddenly slipped inside my condo and sit on the couch cozily, I crossed my arms and face her still frowning. "Miss what are you doing here? What do you need?" I asked her curiously. She looked at me and smiled, a smile that can make men drool, but I'm not because I'm still annoyed. "I am your girlfriend" she said sweetly, my eyes widened in shock, I know I'm drunk last night but I don't remember having a girlfriend. I was about to say something when she stood up and face me leaning so much closer that were inches apart. "You wished for me, last night on the internet" oh crap! Now I remember! I was browsing the net when a certain ad captures my attention. "But I wished for a BOYFRIEND! Not a Girlfriend!!?" How do you handle a situation where there's NO REFUND and NO EXCHANGE?
