"Hey, aren't you the guy who sells T-shirts by the Academy?" Katie asks me. "Yeah ... I-I though you'd never know." I say. She's never noticed me before! Inside, I'm jumping crazily. She finally knows who I am! Writing down the answer to the 4th question, she asks, "What's your name again?" Never mind, she doesn't. ------------------------- Tyler Forrest has sold T-Shirts for a long time at his Dad's T-shirt shop. Almost everyday, his crush since elementary school, Katie Vanilla, goes into the shop to either look around, or talk to Tyler. Tyler has never known why, but she does; and at the shop, they're basically friends. Katie Vanilla is 'The Popular Girl' at school, and everyday she goes to the T-shirt shop to get away. She wants a break from her very busy life. Now at school, Katie doesn't even know Tyler exists. At school, Tyler's his alter ego shy self, with only a handful of friends. It's not until one day, he offers her help on her homework that she realizes they go to the same school. Isn't she smart? Tyler, excited as can be, hopes their store relationship will carry over to school, but will it? And why does she really talk to him at the t-shirt shop? What's her backstory? And the biggest question is, does Katie even like Tyler?

I mean, he was always distant, even before mom passed, but before, I thought that he just didn't care about me, now... I know he doesn't. ********** "Hello?" I say through the phone, grabbing a cloth, running it through the faucet, and pressing it against my knee. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" I hear a chorus of people yelling through the crackly phone. I start to laugh. ******** My mom had died. My dad is an alcoholic that doesn't care about me. I have three best friends. One new friend (Who's a bartender/stripper/lesbian). A great job as a DJ at this amazing club. And a whole new idea to get away from my dad and stop holding on to the past. ********** "It called and emancipation," she said through the phone, laughing, knowing that I was anxious. What the HELL is emancipation!? How can it get me away from my dad!? ******** Then I meet him.

The World That Doesn't Exist by MishellParedes

What if the love of your life only existed in a dream? And what if that dream was more real than the waking world? Lena has always felt like a stranger in her own life-haunted by memories that don't belong and a longing for something she can't name. One night, heartbroken and alone, she falls asleep and awakens in a breathtaking world born from color, silence, and impossibility. There, she meets Casien-a boy with silver eyes, a voice like moonlight, and a truth she's never dared believe. As Lena journeys deeper into this dream-realm, she begins to unlock secrets buried in both her past and her soul. But the deeper she falls for Casien, the more reality unravels. Her grief, her hope, her love-they reshape the very world around her. Now, she must choose between returning to the life she left behind... or staying in the world that doesn't exist. A heart-wrenching, dream-soaked romance filled with symbolism, longing, and the courage to believe in impossible things, The World That Doesn't Exist is a story about the places love takes us-and the ones we choose to never leave behind.

Amara discovers that the stories she writes in her journal are more than imagination - they are fragments of alternate realities or forgotten lives. One day, she finds a **map or item** that pulls her into an adventure across borders, memories, and even timelines. --- Who am I beyond what I've been told? Every story is a choice - which one do you live? Sometimes getting lost is how we find ourselves. The heart remembers even when the mind forgets. --- * Amara lives a mundane life, working at a bookstore or café, dreaming of other lives. * She's torn between pressure to follow a "safe" life path and her inner calling. * She finds a **journal or map** - possibly linked to her childhood or someone mysterious - that contains strange symbols or familiar phrases from her dreams. * Mysterious stranger (love interest?) enters the town, searching for the same item. > "Some stories we tell the world. Others, we whisper only to our soul. But the most powerful one... is the one we dare to live."
