Nikki Mendoza, a 16-year-old overachiever, has been valedictorian since day one-always on stage and collecting medals like second nature. Petite with morena skin, a matangos na ilong, and expressive eyes, Nikki stands out not only for her achievements but for her sharp mind and quiet confidence. Beneath her "walking résumé" image, she's searching for something deeper: connection, meaning, and maybe even a kind of love that doesn't come with a certificate. Aside from her academic success, Nikki is also a proud member of the Science Club and the SPA at SLU. While Edison Rivera, a 17-year-old demisexual man, is Nikki's best friend and a natural leader-SSG president, classroom president, choir member, and former badminton player. He's also part of the lyre at SLU and knows how to play the xylophone. Though he can come off as masungit at first, Edison's true nature is sweet and gentlemanly once you get to know him. Not fluent in Tagalog, he shares a love for photography and aesthetics with Nikki, as well as an obsession for matcha. As Nikki finds herself falling for him, she's caught in a whirlwind of mixed signals, unable to tell if his sweet gestures are just signs of casual friendship or something deeper, leaving her lost and confused.

🔞 18+ only - contains heartbreak, obsession, and slow-burn intimacy. -------------------- "How could I ever trust someone again when the world had already let me down?" I whispered to myself, standing at the edge of the city, my bag packed with everything I had left. My heart ached for a future that seemed uncertain, one where love felt impossible. But that was before I met him. Before Nathan Anderson, the boy who would challenge everything I thought I knew about myself." -------------- Pia has always kept her heart guarded, shaped by the scars of her past. Forced to leave behind a small town and a life full of struggles, she's now in a world where everything feels foreign-luxury, expectations, and the constant pressure to succeed. At 17, she's determined to prove that she can make it on her own, even if it means keeping everyone at arm's length. Nathan is everything Pia isn't popular, confident, and effortlessly charming. At 17, he's the star of his school, his future already planned out by a life of privilege. Yet there's something about Pia that intrigues him, something that makes him want to know her beyond the walls she's built around herself. The more he observes her, the more he feels drawn to a side of her he can't quite understand. As their paths cross, emotions stir, and what started as a simple connection becomes a tangled web of uncertainty. Can Pia open up to someone who seems to have everything, or will her past keep her from embracing the future? And for Nathan, can he break through her defenses, or will his own fears stand in the way?

Delicate Disaster
They started as classmates, then friends, then something that didn't quite fit any word. The problem? Neither of them were ready to call it love. They never meant to fall for each other. It just happened quietly, in glances that lingered too long and silences that said too much. What started as teasing and shared notes turned into something heavier, something neither of them dared to name. Elena swears she's fine keeping it undefined, even when her heart stumbles every time his eyes find hers. And Noah he hides behind jokes, behind that easy confidence, pretending he doesn't care when he clearly does. It's the kind of almost love that burns slow, the kind that ruins you softly. Between laughter and denial, comfort and confusion, they walk the line between friendship and something more, too scared to cross it, too scared to let go. __ Friends to something less than lovers, more than bestfriends.

To Look Beyond A Glance
"January Lee is the embodiment of an affair between sunlight and beauty." Her wild hair dances in the breeze like sunbeams, her energy is as bright as the midday sun, and her boundless curiosity mirrors the sun's relentless exploration of the world. "Narciso De Santis is an abstract masterpiece masquerading as chaos." At first glance, he's a whirlwind of contradictions - a man of few words. He's the quietest storm you'll ever encounter, radiating an aura of 'keep out,' yet beneath that rough exterior lies something greater. The sight of Narciso De Santis frantically dumping a blood-soaked duffel bag into her favorite spot- a secret creek in the woods- initially sent a jolt of panic through January. Dismissing it as her overactive imagination, January decides to move on. Then the whispers start - a local teen goes missing. Coincidence? Is Narciso De Santis truly a murderer? Is this a misunderstanding? Can January mind her own business? "There's something about the allure of darkness that turns a good girl on." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Started Writing: 01/10/2024 Published First Chapters: 12/13/2024 Finished: 04/14/2025 #1 slow burn 04/19/25Complete
Where the Sun Finds Us
🌤️ Where the Sun Finds Us Sometimes, the light you've been chasing... finds you first. In the middle of her midlife crisis, Lei thought the chaotic part of her life was finally over. But sometimes, in the midst of all the noise, that's where new stories begin. One day, she receives an unexpected scholarship to Celestra Republic's most prestigious academy - a school for the nation's brightest minds and top celebrities completing their mandatory academic enlistment. Lei's plan was simple: a fresh start. Quiet. Far from everything that once hurt. But instead of peace, she found five of the country's most famous personalities - each carrying a secret behind their spotlight. A golden-retriever boy with tired eyes. A med student who laughs to hide his guilt. A gentle heir who has everything, except the courage to be real. A composed idol adored by millions but haunted by a past he can't face. And his best friend - someone who somehow feels familiar, even though they've just met. But Lei is different. She's the contrast - the calm to their chaos. She was raised in a home filled with warmth, where love was steady, laughter was constant, and kindness was taught not through words, but through how people treated one another. And that kind of upbringing - she slowly begins to bring it back to the people she meets in Celestra. To those who've forgotten what real happiness feels like. To those who've learned to fake smiles just to survive. Because that's what she was taught - to give the same gentleness she was once given. To be the kind of light that doesn't blind, but heals. And maybe, as she helps them find their own sunshine, Lei will learn how to become the light she's been searching for all along. Because sometimes, you don't have to chase the sun. Sometimes, you just have to be the warmth someone else has been searching for. ✨ A story about kindness passed down, love rediscovered, and how the way we're raised can shape the light we bring into the world.
