🌤️ Where the Sun Finds Us Sometimes, the light you've been chasing... finds you first. In the middle of her midlife crisis, Lei thought the chaotic part of her life was finally over. But sometimes, in the midst of all the noise, that's where new stories begin. One day, she receives an unexpected scholarship to Celestra Republic's most prestigious academy - a school for the nation's brightest minds and top celebrities completing their mandatory academic enlistment. Lei's plan was simple: a fresh start. Quiet. Far from everything that once hurt. But instead of peace, she found five of the country's most famous personalities - each carrying a secret behind their spotlight. A golden-retriever boy with tired eyes. A med student who laughs to hide his guilt. A gentle heir who has everything, except the courage to be real. A composed idol adored by millions but haunted by a past he can't face. And his best friend - someone who somehow feels familiar, even though they've just met. But Lei is different. She's the contrast - the calm to their chaos. She was raised in a home filled with warmth, where love was steady, laughter was constant, and kindness was taught not through words, but through how people treated one another. And that kind of upbringing - she slowly begins to bring it back to the people she meets in Celestra. To those who've forgotten what real happiness feels like. To those who've learned to fake smiles just to survive. Because that's what she was taught - to give the same gentleness she was once given. To be the kind of light that doesn't blind, but heals. And maybe, as she helps them find their own sunshine, Lei will learn how to become the light she's been searching for all along. Because sometimes, you don't have to chase the sun. Sometimes, you just have to be the warmth someone else has been searching for. ✨ A story about kindness passed down, love rediscovered, and how the way we're raised can shape the light we bring into the world.

... that changes everything Sarah was starting her junior year of high school. Looking at herself in the mirror, she saw a pretty average blonde haired, blue eyed, teenager. She was neither in the popular group, nor one of the many cliched outsiders. Sarah was a nobody. She liked to blend in and lay low. It was her way out of not only this town, but her house. No one knew it, but her father was a high functioning alcoholic that often took his anger out on his family. With her older sister now in college, it had turned to her more often. Laying low in general was a good strategy. Across town, Ryan was prepping for his final year in high school. While he wasn't the stereotypical quarterback of the football team, he did fit into the popular crowd. His sports of choice included basketball and soccer, either of which might line him up for a scholarship next year. Ryan had a group of close friends and a lot of adoring acquaintances. It wasn't easy juggling his athletics and keeping the grades up, but he was just that good. The supporting parents didn't hurt either. It might be a cliché romance, but it will be fun to see what the year and beyond holds. ------------------------------------------ This is a story I wrote years ago, or at least partially wrote. As I transcribe it here, I have tried to update it a bit and give the characters/story more depth than what I had when I was younger. Hopefully it all gets pulled together!
