In this heartfelt story, Noah, a quiet and introspective student, faces a reality that his classmates can't fully understand. When his teacher, Mrs. Roberts, asks the class to share their dream jobs, the others enthusiastically share grand ambitions-marine biologist, gamer, astronaut-but Noah's answer is simple and heartbreaking: "I want to live." His classmates, unaware of the truth behind his words, laugh off his response, thinking it's a joke. But when Mrs. Roberts gently presses him to explain, Noah reveals that he has a terminal illness and doesn't know how much longer he has to live.

The revelation shifts the entire atmosphere of the class. Mrs. Roberts uses this moment to teach the students a powerful lesson about life and the importance of cherishing each day. As Noah's classmates process his words, they begin to grasp that sometimes the greatest dream is simply surviving and living fully in the face of uncertainty.

This poignant story explores the fragility of life, the weight of living with illness, and the strength it takes to face each day when your future is uncertain. It's a reminder that while career goals and achievements are important, sometimes the most essential dream is just to live.

20 parts Ongoing Mature
Evelyn has always had a plan. Ace her studies, get into her dream university, and build the future she's worked tirelessly for. She's bright, ambitious, and full of life, the kind of girl who believes in hard work, big dreams, and the certainty that the future is hers to create. But as the school year continues, she finds herself waiting-not for an acceptance letter, but for a test result. One that could change everything. Even though she smiles and insists she's fine, deep down, she's terrified. So she buries herself in school, in routines, in dreams she refuses to let go of. Because until the results come, she's still Evelyn... the girl with a bright future. Then there's Caleb. He carries an air of mystery, drawing eyes without effort, his presence a quiet enigma that pulls others in, though he remains an untouchable shadow, always just beyond reach. But behind the easy smiles and nonchalant attitude, there's something else... something heavier. His family is hiding a secret, one that no one else knows. When Evelyn and Caleb meet, it's unexpected. She's all focus and determination, he's a mystery wrapped in effortless charm. But in each other, they find something they didn't know they needed-a quiet understanding, a safe place to be honest, to be afraid. Between the late night rooftop talks, and stolen moments between classes, they make a promise... to hold on, to keep a secret for each other, and to steal whatever happiness they can before time runs out. But time has never been theirs to keep.
