"This is so boring," Amari sighed as she sipped her mocktail. Apollo walked into her peripheral vision. Her eyes followed him, and her lips curled into a smirk-a malicious thought.
Amari is kind but can be bratty. She is fun but can get bored easily. She is also respectful but can be rude when necessary. Amari is a mix of negativity, and positivity blended perfectly. A perfect example of a teenage girl.
In short, Amari Saint Alvarez is not someone to mess with.
But for Amari? Well... Apollo Priam Torrealba is the perfect person to mess with.
Why?
He's fun. He's interesting. He is the perfect way to annihilate every boredom that kills her to death every day. Besides, he's a family's employee, a waiter, a bellboy, the general worker... he'll do everything. And it only makes it more fun that he's older than Amari.

When the Stars Fade
𝑨𝒖𝒓𝒆𝒍𝒊𝒂 𝑨𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒆 𝑫𝒚-𝑺𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒐𝒗𝒂𝒍, the twin who burned too brightly-too fiercely-for her own good. She was the wildfire that refused to be tamed, the golden girl who danced on the edge of chaos with a smile that never wavered. She was loud, passionate, and unstoppable. But even the most radiant stars have shadows, and no one ever asked if she was tired of keeping up the act. Then came 𝒁𝒆𝒌𝒊𝒂𝒏 𝑺𝒐𝒍𝒊𝒔 𝑷𝒂𝒓𝒌𝒆𝒓-the life of the party, the heartbeat of The Skylines, and the guy who could light up any room just by walking in.

They were two forces of nature-too much alike, too intense, too uncontrollable. They weren't meant to work. But they did. Until they didn't. Because not all stars are meant to stay in the sky. Some collide. Some explode. Some leave behind a brilliance that lingers long after they're gone. When the weight of expectations and unspoken wounds finally catch up to Astrielle, she faces a terrifying truth-what if she's been shining for everyone else but herself? And when the inevitable fall comes, will Zekian, the boy who has always lived like he has nothing to lose, be the one to catch her?

More than a Fantasy
In a world where everyone wants to be aesthetic, she's used to being admired but never truly seen. Compliments come easy-"You're so pretty!" "You look amazing!"-but no one ever asks, "Are you okay?" For the longest time, she's felt like a painting in a gallery-gazed at, praised, but never really known. Then there's him. He's not the poetic type who spins metaphors about her beauty, nor the mysterious bad boy everyone secretly obsesses over. He's just... him. The kind of person who forgets his umbrella on rainy days, orders the same coffee every morning, and sometimes stumbles over his words when he's excited. The first time they talked, he didn't stare too long. Didn't say she was breathtaking. Instead, he simply asked: "Pagod ka na ba?" And somehow, that meant more than any compliment ever did. With him, she doesn't have to be perfect. She doesn't have to be put together, doesn't have to filter her words or curate every moment. She can be quiet, messy, lost in her thoughts-and still, he stays. He listens. He waits. He makes her feel like she doesn't have to be anyone else but herself. Sometimes, love isn't about grand gestures or heart-fluttering moments. Sometimes, it's just someone who makes space for you, who stays even when the moment isn't aesthetic, even when you're not your best, even when you have nothing to say. And for the first time, she doesn't feel like a painting in a gallery. She feels like she's home.Complete
