Gabby didn't come to Stoneybrook to make friends-especially not with girls like Mary Anne Spier. Too careful, too neat, too exactly-the-opposite-of-Gabby. But something about the way Mary Anne watches her-with quiet curiosity, not judgment-pulls Gabby in before she can stop it.
Mary Anne notices things. Always has. But she doesn't understand why she keeps noticing Gabby. The new girl with the sharp eyes and sketchbook full of secrets. The girl who seems like she's fine being alone-until she's not.
What starts as lingering glances and soft exchanges turns into something neither of them expected. In the hush between words and the spaces they create for each other, a bond begins to form-tentative, electric, and maybe more than just friendship.

Growing in Redamancy: Our Bloom
Nerin Holmes was a 18-year-old girl who seemed to live without a care in the world. With a voice that could light up any room, her laughter infectious and full of life, she was the kind of person who naturally drew others in. But for all her energy, Nerin was a mystery, one that Park Eun Jae couldn't quite unravel. She became the unexpected spark in his otherwise structured life, filling his world with a sense of wonder he hadn't known before. Raised in a comfortable household by parents who had worked hard for over a decade in Korea, Nerin's life was marked by both privilege and a freedom that Eun Jae admired. Her parents, successful in their own careers, had created a world where she lacked for nothing. Eun Jae, on the other hand, had been raised with strong values of hard work and respect, always striving for what he wanted with the support of his own loving parents. They had taught him to be diligent and responsible, and their unwavering presence in his life had created a bond of trust and understanding that he held dear. But Nerin was different. She wasn't tied to any expectations or pressures-she seemed to float through life with ease, a carefree confidence that Eun Jae couldn't help but be drawn to. Without even realizing it, his heart had slowly been captured by her charm, her mystery, and the light she brought into his life. She was the kind of girl who made Eun Jae forget about his carefully planned life, allowing him to lose himself in moments he never expected.Complete

My Cure
Malia has always kept to the sidelines. As a girl in a wheelchair, she's learned to navigate the world with caution, keeping her distance from the popular crowd-especially Kylie Cantrall, the effortlessly beautiful and outgoing girl who seems to have everything: the friends, the attention, the confidence. Malia admires Kylie from afar, quietly harboring a secret crush that feels impossible, given their worlds are so different. But when an unexpected moment of kindness draws them together, everything changes. Kylie begins to notice Malia in ways she never expected, and the two girls start spending more time together. Whether it's late-night study sessions, spontaneous hangouts, or helping out with school events, Malia finds herself being drawn into Kylie's world, not as an outsider, but as someone who truly belongs. As their friendship deepens, Malia must confront her own insecurities and fears of not measuring up. She wonders if someone like Kylie-someone so popular and full of life-could ever truly see her for who she is, or if she's just the girl in the wheelchair in Kylie's eyes. But as the lines between friendship and something more blur, Malia starts to realize that maybe it's not about fitting in, but about being seen for who you truly are. Two girls from different worlds find that love and friendship aren't defined by what's visible, but by the connections we make when we open our hearts-and the courage it takes to be yourself, no matter how different you think you might be.Complete
