He was just a boy who believed he could be a hero.
Who thought trying harder would make things better.
Who smiled so others wouldn't worry.
But somewhere between dreams and disappointments,
he started fading-quietly, slowly-
and no one noticed until he was almost gone.

Echo
He was never supposed to be a voice. They wanted an Echo-silent, compliant, nothing more than a reflection of their design. But the boy they tried to unmake listened too closely. Learned too much. Refused too deeply. Answering a call he never understood, Echo stepped into a world that demanded he forget himself to survive. He didn't. Instead, he grew teeth. Chose war over obedience. Chose love over chains. Now, freedom costs blood, survival demands brutality, and devotion sharpens into something sacred and savage. He is not their Echo. He is his own. And he will never be silent again.Complete![Am I a Hero? [A USUK Fanfic]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/33392532-256-k355108.jpg)

The Girl No One Chose
I gave him everything. My heart. My body. My secrets. He gave me silence-and loved someone else. I was just the distraction. The warm body. The easy f*ck. Not the girl he showed off. Not the one he kissed in public. Not the one he chose. Now I'm done waiting. Done begging to be seen. Because the girl no one chose... She's about to become the girl no one forgets.
Even After Eden
She thought grace was out of reach- until a boy who prayed in quiet found her in the ruins. He didn't try to fix her. He just stayed. And somehow, staying became healing. Because love doesn't always arrive loud- sometimes it kneels, waits, and believes. And sometimes, God writes the softest love stories in the shadows.
Academic Rivals
She grew up in a world where being smart wasn't a choice, it was expected. Her family had big dreams for her, the kind that didn't leave room for mistakes. So she smiled, studied hard, and stayed on top. But deep down, she wanted something different. Something more her. And just when she thought she had it all under control, he showed up. He was brilliant, cocky, and impossible to ignore. Now it's a game of wins and losses. And she's not planning to lose.
To Start Over (Book 1)
At first, it might seem like a cliché. As the story unfolds, though, secrets surface, and it becomes something deeper than expected. She learned to blend in, moving through life unnoticed. That changed when he noticed her. She kept her guard up. He kept things hidden. Neither of them wanted to get close or feel too much. But their playful teasing soon led to late-night texts. The quiet moments between them began to feel comfortable. They never planned to fall for each other. But somehow, it happened anyway. And now, nothing feels whole without the other.Complete
For Your Eyes Only
He was the boy that no one noticed. He was quiet, bland to the naked eye, a total wallflower who sat on the sidelines and lacked in eye contact with those around him though he had the type of eyes that made you feel like you could drown. He tried his best to blend into the background, but what he didn't know was that he was the only one that caught my eye. He was the most intriguing person I had ever laid eyes on even though he couldn't see me. He couldn't see anything.Complete

Much Better
I was used to being unnoticed, that was nothing new. But when the mystery boy at school starts paying a shocking amount of attention to me, I'm not quite sure what to do. Believe it? Deny it? Surely he couldn't really be into me . . . could he?Complete
Shy Boy
There was a boy that likes a girl. He always took notice of her even when she wasn't aware of his presence. With his nerdy appearance and his black-rimmed eyeglasses, he thought it was improbable that he could have a chance with her. He was just a nobody. Always afraid of taking chances, fearing of stumbling in the midst of his words, and his confidence shrinking. Even the thought of her, he has the butterflies growing in his stomach. With just one look at her and he was already in trouble. All he needed would just be that little push to overcome his shyness and taking a step forward. -- #1 on #highschoollove #2 on #loveatfirstsight #122 on #firstlove #14 in #shortstory Thank you!Complete
