A story of speed, sabotage, and something that almost feels like love.
In Formula 1, crossing the finish line first is everything-but what happens when the race off the track is even messier?
Preston Reid Galvez was born to chase victory: reckless, golden, and desperate to prove he's more than just a last name. Wynona Amara Montero? She's the paddock's most electric newcomer-fierce, unapologetic, and tired of being underestimated. Both are out to make history. Neither expected to get tangled up in each other's slipstream.
Behind the sponsorships and social media hype, there's the truth: Wynona's keeping secrets that could wreck more than reputations, and Preston's carefully controlled image is fraying at the seams. When rivalries blur, alliances shift, and hearts race for reasons that have nothing to do with engines, they'll both have to face a question they've been dodging all season:
What if winning isn't the real endgame?
High-speed drama. Taglish feels. Queer chaos.
Because in racing-like in life-it's not always a checkered flag.

Superficial Things | ✓
SUPERFICIAL THINGS Trivial drama. Stupid games. Petty deals. Things Fiel never imagined he'd be dragged into, especially not after finally making it to college. He had only two priorities: school and family. That was the plan. But within the first few weeks, reality hit harder than he expected. Overwhelmed and cornered, he found himself making a deal he never thought he'd consider; with none other than the school's infamous heartbreaker. Karson Icarus Silverio. A name that screamed wealth, charm, and trouble. All Karson wanted was to win over Fiel's best friend. And Fiel? He just wanted the cash. Becoming a reluctant wingman felt like a small price to pay...at first. But as the days blurred and boundaries thinned, Fiel began to realize something unsettling: nothing was going according to plan. And maybe, there was more between him and Silverio than either of them cared to admit. Questions started to race in his head. How long could they keep pretending? And when would they admit that these weren't just superficial things anymore? Nonetheless, when a pill is begging to be swallowed, it would be difficult to deny it.

LOGAN: Bewitched (Aristocrat #4)
They couldn't be more different-or more volatile together. One is driven by fierce loyalty, a protective fire that burns for those she loves; the other, a cool and calculating presence, is as mysterious as the secrets she keeps. Sparks fly every time they meet, but not in the way anyone would call "romantic." From the beginning, distrust hangs between them like a storm cloud. Logan blames her for putting her best friend in danger, for being reckless, cold, and too close to dangerous people. She hates everything Persis stands for: the secrets, the icy detachment, the subtle but undeniable magnetism that unsettles her every time they clash. Persis feels the heat too, though she'd never admit it. She's always been able to control her emotions, raised to be tough in a world where softness can be fatal. But with Logan, her restraint is slipping. Logan's hot temper, her passionate spirit, stirs something foreign inside her. As tension crackles between them, the lines between hate and desire begin to blur. Each confrontation brings them closer, unraveling their defenses as they face off against both Persis' dark past and their growing attraction. In a world where love could be their undoing, they have to decide if they're willing to risk it all or if they'll continue to dance around the spark that just won't die. As the heat between them rises, neither is willing to admit to the pull that keeps drawing them back into each other's orbit. It's an attraction they don't want and a connection they can't ignore, one that challenges their assumptions, chips away at their walls, and leaves them each wondering: is there more to hate than they ever imagined?Complete

Vanilla's Poser Girl
"What makes you think you're already in love? You haven't even met that Zero." Natawa naman ako sa kaibigan kong si Leigh habang inaayos ko yung sintas ng sapatos ko. "Why Leigh? Do you fall in love at first sight? Hindi naman din di ba? Saka sabi mo, fall in love with the character. That's why I think I'm falling for this Zero." "You don't even know him yet, Van." "Exactly. Kaya nga ako naeexcite e. It seems that we don't know each other yet. But we can already feel the connection as if we've known each other for a long time." Natahimik naman ito doon. Pagkatapos ay sinimulan na din magpalit ng jersey. "Just slow down. You might find yourself breaking. Mamaya gamitin ka lang nyan." Umismid naman ako. "Gaya ng mga exes mo? Y'know what's wrong with you, Leigh? Pinangungunahan mo lahat. That's why no one can keep up with your standards." "Hey, I'm just saying if what if he's a psycho? A stalker? A hooker?" Tumawa naman ako dito. She's really paranoid. "Just step out of your safe zone, Leigh. You're already missing the most exciting part of life." "Slowing down isn't always bad, Vanilla." "Yeah, but look at you. Seriously? Continous failed relationships?" "Ikaw din naman a. Why aren't you finding the right one yet?" "I already found him. That's zero. I can feel the connection. He guesses everything about me perfectly. Like all of my favorites and quirks that only you and the girls can tell." I gave her an elated smile. "So, back off. And just be happy for me. Okay?" "What if that's a stalker or a paparazzi that already run a background check with you?" "Ang negative mo, Leigh. Seriously, just fall in love and get a life." Ngumiti ito ng nakakaloko. "Okay, so what will you do if that Zero is a girl?" Natigilan naman ako. "You're not Zero, are you?" "Of course not." Nakahinga naman ako. "As long as it's not you, I'm okay." "Why?" "Because I don't want to end up with a puppet like you. Yikes! A barbie doll of everyone."Complete![Chasing Light✨ [Intersex | Under Revision]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/385799240-256-k966621.jpg)
