Living with Miguel by dinesimom

Killa, a third-year Nursing student at Batangas State University, is finally living the college life she always heard was tough-long hours, tight schedules, and now, the need to move into a dorm away from her family.

Oddly Familiar by kahapsaywrites

Some people feel like memories the first time you meet them. She knew better than to trust someone so soon - pero may kung anong sa kanya na parang matagal nang kilala. What began as a spontaneous decision turned into late-night conversations, shared silences, quiet stares, and a kind of intimacy neither of them expected - or fully understood. For her, it wasn't love. Not yet. But it felt like home. And maybe, that was even scarier. Just when things were beginning to make sense... two pink lines changed everything. "Buntis ako." In a world where love felt dangerous, marriage seemed like a trap, and the future was always uncertain, she's forced to make a choice: to face a truth she's not ready for, tell someone she's not sure she can trust, and carry a life she never planned. Is she ready to tell him - and risk breaking something she barely understands? Or stay silent, keep it, and face it all alone? Oddly Familiar is a story about moments that change us, people who arrive when we least expect them, and a kind of love that feels both terrifying and true. It's about growing up too soon, letting go too late, and finding courage in the most unexpected places. Because sometimes, the people we meet by accident are the ones who stay. And sometimes, we ride off with strangers who feel oddly... familiar.

Between the Pages [Short Story] by PennedbyAvelania

Akala ni Serena, tahimik lang ang library. A place of peace, routine, and paperback escapes. Pero hindi niya in-expect na doon din pala niya matatagpuan ang kilig, ang tanong, at ang mga sagot na hindi mababasa kahit ilang beses pa niyang balikan ang paborito niyang libro. Sean, the campus charmer na hindi niya akalaing bookworm din, slowly stepped into her world---una sa pamamagitan ng isang simpleng "Hi," sumunod sa mga post-it notes na laging may timing, at kalaunan, sa mga tahimik pero punong-punong ugnayan sa pagitan ng mga pahina. As they navigate the awkwardness, the flutter, the fears, and the future, they both discover that sometimes, love isn't loud. Sometimes, it waits. It grows. And it writes itself quietly... ...between the pages.
