After four years abroad, Eiselle "Icey" Riela Jadraque returns to the Philippines for a month-long vacation to reconnect with family and friends. But everything changes when she unexpectedly crosses paths with Zayn Mikael Rhys Navaro, her high school crush.
Back then, both were too torpe and shy to confess their feelings, leaving things unspoken. Now, seeing Zayn again, Icey wonders if fate is giving them a second chance or if the past should stay where it is.
As Icey spends time with her friends-Ash, Ruby, and Charlotte-she's torn between finally facing her feelings for Zayn or keeping them hidden once again. Will she find the courage to confess, or will the fear of rejection hold her back?
You Were a Good Dream is a story about second chances, unspoken emotions, and rediscovering lost connections. Sometimes, the things left unsaid may get the chance to be spoken after all.

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
