Pleading with Heaven

Zen, a 14-year-old girl, has always been a bit unsure about her feelings, but everything shifts when she meets Aisha. Aisha is gentle, kind, and soft-a presence that immediately draws Zen in. At first, Zen admires her from afar, captivated by Aisha's natural warmth and the way she always makes others feel comfortable. But as Zen spends more time with her, those feelings evolve into something deeper. She finds herself falling for Aisha, her heart racing whenever their eyes meet or their conversations linger a little longer. There's just one problem-Aisha is straight. Zen knows their bond can never turn into anything more, but the intensity of her emotions is hard to ignore. As Zen struggles with her feelings for Aisha, she begins to learn more about love, acceptance, and the bittersweet nature of unrequited affection.
