Not all scars are visible. Sometimes, silence speaks louder than words.
Aiden Reyes is the quiet, perfect student everyone admires. Always on time. Always polite. Always getting straight A's. But behind his calm and friendly smile, Aiden is hiding a secret. Beneath the surface, he's struggling with pain and loneliness that no one sees. As he tries to keep everything together, his world is slowly falling apart.
This is the story of a boy whose smile hides more than anyone knows a story about the battles we fight in silence.

‡† The Unseen †‡
He liked the rain. It was just like him. And it was the only thing that looked at Raven and actually saw Raven. Not 'Raven Eli'. Not the perfect golden boy. Not the optimistic leader with dazzling smiles. Just the quiet, aching mess underneath. Raven had a lot of problems. A lot. Issues in the depths of his psyche hidden so deep he wasn't sure he could name remember them all anymore. There was one he wasn't letting go of though. The one that had started to seem more like a coping mechanism with each passing day. He just.. can't stop saving people. Helping. Smiling. Even when it's killing him. At one point he'd wished he could be both rain AND thunder. Loud, angry. Proud. But then the universe answered him by bringing a boy who shows up to school bleeding and bandaged then tells anyone who asks to mind their own damn business. Chaos in human form. He made Raven feel so frustrated and out of sorts. So why did it seem like adding Devon to the mix was just going to make the whole mess tip over and spill? And why was Raven not stopping it? ~This is not a love story. It's a drowning.

Ray Castillo arrives at Benterville High with one mission: stay invisible. After the fallout at his last school, blending into the background sounds like paradise.

And somehow, no matter how hard Ray tries to slip away, Aiden keeps pulling him back into his orbit. Caught between a past he's terrified to repeat and a boy he can't quite resist, Ray has to decide whether staying hidden is worth missing the one person who might actually see him.

Eventually, Liam realizes he knows very little about the mysteriously quiet boy, despite all the years they have attended school together. Connor breathes new life into Liam, and soon Liam discovers that when love, lies, and lust intertwine they can have consequences. Consequences he's not quite sure he's ready for just yet.Complete
Whispers Into Words

Along the way, Yuna discovers not only friendship and courage-but also a subtle connection with the professor who believed in her more than she ever believed in herself. From the nervous bus ride where it all began to the global stage years later, Yuna's story is one of perseverance, dreams, and the unexpected ways hearts can meet across cultures.Complete
Strings Of Fate
Elia Santiago believes in simple things. Warm coffee in the morning, Sunday Mass every week, and writing stories about people who are often ignored. She's an accountancy student and a school journalist who lives a quiet life. She has small dreams, clear goals, and finds comfort sitting under stained-glass windows every Sunday. Chaos was never part of her plan, until she met him. Aiden Reyes is the opposite of quiet. He doesn't talk much, but his presence alone feels loud. An engineering student known for his sharp mind, his skill in archery, and the walls he keeps around himself. He has a close group of friends who bring trouble wherever they go, and no one really tries to get past his cold exterior. No one, until Elia. With her notebook, gentle smile, and habit of noticing little things, Elia slowly steps into Aiden's world. What starts as small and accidental meetings turns into something deeper. Coffee breaks, short walks, and moments that feel more important than they should. As Elia begins to understand the silence Aiden carries, Aiden starts to realize that being seen might not be so scary after all. But with rumors, expectations, and personal struggles quietly waiting in the background, one question remains. Can two people from very different worlds walk the same path, or are they only meant to pass by each other? Written by Lunxielle Date Started: May 12, 2025 Date Ended: July 6, 2025Complete

Not the best friend who became her first kiss... her first love... her everything. But when he moved across the world, he left her with nothing but a broken promise and a gold star necklace she still wears like a scar. She swore she'd wait. He swore they'd find each other again. But two weeks after he came back, he was holding another girl's hand. Now it's war. And Lisa's done playing soft. Noah thought leaving Lisa behind would protect them both. He didn't expect to fall apart without her. Neither did he expect to learn the truth-something so brutal it made him question every moment they'd ever shared and see her as a stranger in the skin of the girl he once loved. And he definitely didn't expect to fall into someone else's arms trying to forget the taste of her lips. But Lisa's not the shy girl he left behind. She's colder now. Hotter, too. And every time he looks at her like he hates her, he wants to grab her and make her remember everything. This isn't just a breakup. It's unfinished business. First love never dies. But it might just destroy them both.
