Everyone knew him - intelligent, admired, the face of his department. But she never looked his way.
Ethan Lao had it all: top of his class, famous among engineering students, and effortlessly charming. Most girls noticed. Lila Santos didn't.
Loud, passionate, and laser-focused on her accounting board exam, Lila was the kind of girl who spoke her mind, filled rooms with her energy, and had no time for college crushes. Their worlds crossed through mutual friends, campus visits, and fleeting moments - but she never even knew his name.
He sent her Facebook friend requests. Twice. She didn't respond.
Then came the pandemic. Life slowed down. Screens lit up. And one day, Ethan saw her again - in a Facebook story. Still vibrant. Still unaware.
"Do you think she'd mind if I sent a wave?" he asked.
This isn't a story about love that bloomed. It's about admiration left unread. About falling for someone... who never even saw you coming.
This is "Falling Without Landing."

No One Raised Me, But You (Completed)
Started:6/24/25 Ended: 7/1/25 > Wala akong gabay. Wala akong tinig na nagsabi kung tama ba 'yung ginagawa ko. Wala akong kamay na humila sa'kin palayo sa gulo. Iniwan ako ng nanay ko para sa ibang lalaki. At ang tatay ko? Lagi siyang wala. Abala sa trabaho, sa kumpanya, sa kung saan. Hindi niya alam na unti-unti na akong nawawala. Akala ko okay lang maging bastos, sumagot, maglayas, manakit. Akala ko normal lang maging ako-yung walang pakialam. Pero dumating siya. Tahimik. Palaging seryoso. Ayoko sa kanya nung una-masungit, preskong presidente ng school. Pero habang tumatagal, siya 'yung tanging tao na... pinagsabihan ako. Hinintay akong magbago. Tinuruan akong rumespeto. Hindi dahil kailangan-kundi dahil gusto niya akong matutong mahalin ang sarili ko. No one raised me... but you did. And now, I don't know how to live without you.Concluída
Almost, Always 🍁🥀
"Almost, Always" 🍁🌹 Some people enter your life like whispers...soft, sudden, and gone before you can hold on. She didn't expect to see him again. Not after years, not like this. Not when she had finally learned how to forget the boy who never truly left her mind. But fate isn't loud..it's quiet, casual... cruel. In a classroom filled with noise, their glances screamed stories. A slow-burn connection, unsaid words, and almosts that could've been everything. This is not a fairytale. This is a memory rewritten..with the ending she deserved.

Love, Maybe?
They weren't always strangers. Once, Rivan and Nitya were friends-though "friends" might have been too simple a word for whatever they were becoming. Somewhere between arguments, laughter, shared moments, and the comfort of having someone always there, they became important to each other. Until Rivan left. And Nitya was left behind with questions he never answered. She called him 153 times. He didn't pick up. And somewhere between the unanswered calls and the silence that followed, Nitya finally broke down crying. When they meet again, things are different. Because you can't simply walk back into someone's life after leaving them behind and expect everything to be the same. Especially when feelings were never really gone. With college, friendships, old wounds, secrets, and a love neither of them quite knows what to do with, Rivan and Nitya's story becomes a journey of finding each other again-and figuring out whether some bonds can survive the things that break them. Because sometimes, the hardest part isn't falling in love. It's deciding whether the person who hurt you deserves another chance. Will Nitya forgive Rivan easily? ─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───Concluída

The Idea Of You
"I'll leave you alone." His words filled the tormenting silence, "After tonight you won't have to see me again, only in class and that's it." My heart ached at his words, why? This should be a good thing, I wouldn't have to deal with Alejandro Rodriguez ever again. So why... Why does the thought of him not being around hurt. I stopped playing with my food and slowly lifted my head to look at him. He stared straight into my watery eyes. His face filled with regret and concern. He stood up from his seat and walked over to me, squatting down to my level. "Hey, hey." He softly whispered his hands holding both of my mines, softly caressing them with his thumb. "Please don't cry, por favor." He reached a hand to my face and gently wiped the tears. "I-I don't want you to leave me alone." My voice breaking and my vision filling with tears.

Resurgence
WORK IN PROGRESS‼️ ─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ── There was no noise; I was at peace, and ironically, the stone-cold pavement never seemed warmer as my blood oozed out of me and around me like a painted canvas. I was slowly losing consciousness, but my mind never seemed happier now that I was dying. The white walls with big bright lights did not resemble heaven; in fact, it was quite the opposite. I thought I had died. When I came to, I found myself in this strange place, disoriented and confused. I looked around and found another five pairs of eyes looking at me with the same emotion swirling in their gaze. Now, 15 years later, I train with these girls. Our makers take care of us, feed us, and make sure we are clean, healthy, and fit. Some of us never had that; that's probably why it took so long for us to realize we were being used. The dirty work they made us do, none of us questioned it. How could we when we were taken off the streets? For a chance at normalcy, we settled for anything, even if that meant blurring the lines of right and wrong. After a mission gone haywire, we started noticing, and now we strike back to take our voices and reclaim the power that was used on us as a way to control us. After all, they are the ones who trained us; we are just returning our long-overdue favour. ─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ── Rankings : Featured in Mystery-thriller #5 in Mystery-thriller on 7/12/24

The Guy I Could Never Have
Some people arrive quietly. No fireworks. No background music. Just a look. A name. A violet shirt in a white room. You don't realize it's the start. Not until you're too far in. I didn't fall for him the way stories say you should. There was no moment of knowing. Just a slow ache that built between library tables and half-finished coffee cups. The kind of love that feels like a question no one teaches you how to ask. We were never official. Never obvious. We were playlists. Eye contact. A sentence that almost sounded like confession-until it didn't. And somewhere in that space between almost and never, I became someone I didn't recognize. Someone quieter. Smaller. And then... someone who walked away. This is not a story about the guy I ended up with. This is about the one I couldn't have. The one who arrived too late. The one who taught me that not all love stories need a happy ending- Some just need a girl who finally chooses herself. And this time, I did.Concluída

An air of melancholia surrounded me, eyes watery like never before. "Were your feelings for me ever real?" There wasn't even a trace of an apologetic expression on his features as he tucked his hands in his pockets, before he gave a nonchalant shrug. The sudden urge for revenge became a prominent priority. He regarded me passively. "It's not my fault that you fell for me in the first place." he justified as he advanced my way, closing the gap between us. Unstably, I strode backwards on the concrete. ". . .stay back." I whimpered. "You're nothing but cold hearted." ·•● Two years ago, Emery Roy was tragically exposed to what some could call an intense betrayal all thanks to the originator - Dean Darnell.

Gambit (Obsessions in Overdrive #2)
Previously known as The Accident --------- She is beautiful. So fucking beautiful. She is a star and I would become an astronomer for her and I would study for the rest of my life and I would bleed, sweat and cry day and night just so I can understand her beauty. I would want the other stars to be jealous of her since no matter how big and bright they shine, she will always be the brightest one illuminating the night sky. She's better than everyone. I constantly think about how she can do so much better and how she deserves to be with someone who will notice everything amazing about her and not just use her. She needs to be with someone who will notice how she laughs. How confident she is. How she talks. The way her smile is different from the rest and the way her eyes glow when you talk about the stars. They should notice how her hair flows and how she can talk all day. She needs to be with me. --------- Contains: Fake-dating College romance --------- Started: 12 October 2021 Ended: 16 January 2023 Editing completion: 12 July 2024 --------- #1 firststory #1 hotel #1 pretty #2 cutegirl #2 teenagers #3 lossConcluída

A Moment Lasted Forever
I was a fragile young one. I've never thought of being loved by someone I love until it came. It gave me the satisfaction I have never felt in my life. I didn't need no reminiscing for he already was. Hindi ko na ninais pa ang ibang bagay dahil siya lang ay sapat na. Not until someone has come and made my heart distracted. He made me realize that the feeling I once believed was at its summit wasn't high enough to touch the sky. Hanggang kailan ko bibitiwan ang pinanghahawakan kong pakiramdam? Hanggang kailan ako pagtataksilan ng sarili kong puso? Ano ang dapat kong gawin kung maging ang sarili ko ay ayaw pakawalan ang dalawang taong pareho ko nang pinahalagahan? What should I choose? A forever that lasted a moment or a moment that lasted forever?
