Sarah Delgado never meant to fall for Alvin Reyes. He was her senior by one year, two seats away in art class, and miles away in the world he carried behind his eyes. She didn't know what it was about him maybe the way he wrote in the margins of his notebook like his heart bled in ink, or the silence he wore like armor but she knew she wanted to know him.
Alvin wasn't looking for love. He wasn't looking for anything, really just a way to get through the days without falling apart. But Sarah had a way of noticing him, the real him, beneath everything he tried to hide. And maybe that was the beginning of everything and of the slow undoing that followed.
When We Were Almost is a story of first love, quiet battles, written from both Sarah's and Alvin's pov. The spaces between words left unsaid.....

You're It for me
I loved a boy. A boy with the prettiest smile and the messiest hair. A boy who made my heart race. A boy who never looked at me. Until one day... he did. And just like that, everything changed. It started with an art class. A random draw. His name in my hands. What was supposed to be a silly group project turned into late-night chats, endless laughter, and the kind of closeness I never thought I'd have with him. But life isn't always soft. It gets loud. Complicated. And somewhere along the way, we broke. Maybe we were too young. Maybe we weren't ready. Maybe... we were just never meant to last. This is the story of how I fell for him. How I lost him. And how maybe-just maybe-some people find their way back.Complete
Gone Him Waiting Her
She was his first love. The girl who knew his laughter, his dreams, his fears. The one he swore he'd never let go of. Until one day, he did. Without warning. Without goodbye. He was her everything. Her first kiss. Her first heartbreak. The boy who carried her heart in his hands- and then shattered it when he disappeared. Years passed. Wounds turned into scars. She learned to live with the silence he left behind. He learned to live with the regret of leaving her. Now, fate has thrown Mason and Ella together again- in the most unexpected place, on the most ordinary day. But nothing about seeing each other feels ordinary. It feels like the past rushing back. It feels like the pieces of a love story trying to fit again. But can she trust him after the way he left? And can he prove that this time, he's here to stay? Because sometimes love doesn't end. Sometimes, it waits.

Not His Sister

And I've been trying (and failing) to forget it ever since. This isn't a love story. It's my secret. - A slow-burn, introvert × extrovert romance with stolen glances, quiet pining, teasing smirks, and a cat that ties it all together. ~ Based on a true story. Written from Shreya's POV. (New chapter every Wednesday and Friday)
"WHAT WE NEVER WERE"
"Sometimes, the most powerful stories are the ones that never even began." In this intimate and nostalgic novel, a young man reflects on the memory of her-the schoolmate who, without ever knowing it, left a mark on his life forever. Through glances, silences, waves from a balcony, and a kiss that was never returned, a story unfolds: one of unspoken feelings, missed chances, and a love that lived only in the space between the possible and the impossible. "What We Never Were" isn't just a love story-it's a tale of how a single person can linger in memory long after they're gone.
Go Way Back
We all have our first. Our first walk, our first cry, our first laugh, and most especially, our very first heartbeat. Falling in love is easy. However, as everyone has stated, love is like a roller coaster ride. It has the power to instantly propel you to the heartbreaking lowest point or the most breathtaking heights. We are also going to go through our first heartbreak, which will teach us that no matter how much you love someone, the more you try to hold onto them, the more probable it is that they will escape your grasp. Is it true that genuine love never fades and always finds a way back, regardless of how much time has passed? Is it true that true love never fades and always finds a way back? Is it really true that the second time around, love is sweeter?Complete
Almost Love
They say your first love is never really your last. It's the one that teaches you how much your heart can hold-and how easily it can break. It's the feeling you never expect but somehow always remember. It doesn't come wrapped in perfection. In fact, it's often messy. Loud. Complicated. Full of silent stares across classrooms and text messages that say "goodnight" when you really mean "don't leave." This is not a love story with a fairytale ending. This is a story about two teenagers who didn't know how to love yet-but tried anyway. About a girl who had just transferred to a new school, carrying quiet sadness in her eyes. About a boy who joked too much, talked too loud, and hid his softness under layers of laughter and chaos. It's about the teasing. The almosts. The missed chances. The apologies that came too late. The good days that felt like forever-and the bad ones that felt like drowning. Most of all, it's about that stage in your life when you love with everything, even when you don't know what love is yet. This is the story of Adriana and Liam. Of how they found each other. How they lost each other. And how sometimes, loving someone first... doesn't mean loving them forever.Complete
You Talk Too Much
Nicolas didn't want friends. Didn't want attention. Definitely didn't want her. But then Lina sat next to him. Every. Single. Day. She talked through the awkward silences, laughed at her own jokes, and asked questions he never answered. She was chaos in sneakers and bubblegum lip gloss - and he wanted nothing to do with her. ...Until he did. Because somehow, her noise started drowning out the thoughts he didn't know how to escape. And her voice became the only thing that made the silence bearable. This isn't a love story. Not at first. This is a story about a boy who lost his spark... And the girl who wouldn't let him disappear quietly. ✅ Nicolas ✅ Lina ✅ "You Talk Too Much" ✅ High school setting ✅ Healing + chaos + slow-burn (Btw I forgot to add that there will be no smut of any kind in this story. Maybe an innocent kiss or something but nothing else)
