Story Description:
She lost her diary.
He found it.
Cassy never expected her quiet high school life to spiral into chaos with one small mistake-a broken bag and a diary lost in a sea of students. That red notebook held her deepest secrets, her awkward doodles, and worst of all... pages filled with her hopeless crush on Josh Valencia, the campus heartthrob and journalism prodigy two grades above her.
Josh is everything she's not: confident, talented, and always seen with a camera slung around his neck. Cassy? She's just the invisible Grade 10 girl sneaking glances from afar.
But when Josh finds her diary and returns it-with a cryptic sticky note that hints he read it-Cassy's once predictable world suddenly begins to shift.
Did he read about her feelings?
With a mix of awkward encounters, heart-fluttering moments, and kilig-filled chaos, this is the story of a girl who thought she'd only admire from a distance... until fate handed her heart straight to the boy she never dreamed would look back.

Mr. Troublemaker & Miss Invisible
"Behind his smirk and her silence, destiny whispered a love story." He was trouble wrapped in a smirk. She was silence hidden in books. Ruhan Mehra, the school's most popular heartthrob, had never cared about rules, grades, or consequences. Mischief was his signature, and breaking hearts was just another pastime.

But when fate - and a strict teacher - forced them to share the same desk, sparks flew where they least belonged. What begins as teasing notes, stolen glances, and maddening banter soon unravels into something neither of them expected. Because beneath his trouble and her invincibility lies a story waiting to be written... one smirk, one silence, and one heartbeat at a time.

ACE
I looked at her possessively before grabbing her by the nape of her neck and pulling her closer to me, our lips a breath away. "You are mine. Only mine. Understand?" I gritted out and she nodded slowly. "Good. Because I'll fucking kill any man who lays his hand on you. On what's mine." I said and crashed my lips onto hers.

WE WERE DESTINED
" I don't even like you like that." Her face scrunched up in disgust watching water drip from curls in his hair. " 'Cause you love me. Just like I love you." He retorted with a grin, disregarding the deflecting she was doing. --- They were two sides of the same city-until one move split them down the middle. Elijah and London were inseparable once, bonded by childhood summers, beat-up bikes, and secrets too deep for anyone else to know. Unfortunately, when Elijah's mom packed up and moved her family across Onyx to a rival neighborhood, everything changed. She always thought when she spoke to him again he would've changed like her. She was witty, sarcastic, and had a low tolerance, but he was still the same calm , sweet, cute boy with a heart the size of the sun. Some things haven't changed. Some things never change. The pull between them, the memories that still burn etched marks in their brain, and the words they never said out loud. In a world where loyalty can be life or death, and love isn't always enough to cross old lines, Elijah and London find themselves circling each other again. --- STARTED; MAY 26th, 2025 PUBLISHED JUNE 6th, 2025 FINISHED; SEPTEMBER 27th 2025Complete
