When He Sat Beside Me

I never thought everything could change in one second - but it did.
One moment I was just the quiet girl in the back of the class, lost in my sketchbook, invisible to everyone but the art teacher.
Then he walked in.
Eli.
The new boy with the kind eyes and the past nobody could explain.
He didn't talk much. He didn't need to.
He sat beside me... and somehow, that seat became the only place I ever wanted to be.
But getting close to him came with questions. About who he was. Why he transferred. What he was running from.
And why I was so afraid of getting close to someone who might leave just as suddenly as he arrived.
This isn't just a love story. It's a story about finding your voice, trusting someone when it's easier to stay silent, and learning that even quiet hearts deserve to be heard.

Secretly
We've all lived a version of it-the story of unrequited love. That quiet ache, the longing without return. I thought I might escape it. I guess there's no escape. I was not an exception. It was summer, two years ago, when I met him. At first, he was just another face in the crowd. But slowly-quietly-he became someone unforgettable. Someone who mattered far too much. We all have that one person. The one who changes everything without even trying. But tell me this: How much of yourself can you give to someone, knowing they'll never feel the same? Knowing that your love will echo in silence, unanswered? This is my story. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Story (OG a visual novel) was written and first published in The Sims Resource year 2014 (my username was wasabichi).

The Diary Of A Young Lover(Girl)
"I like him. So what?" Liking someone isn't a big deal until it's your very first time!!! That very first puppy-crush where you legit experience each an every lyric of Katherine Li's masterpieces... He was a teacher and I was student. Everything would have been picture-perfect if my life were a K-drama but I haven't done any great deeds to receive this blessing. Our eyes always met, trying to convey the unspoken conversation between us. I don't know why, but even after I'd moved on, my eyes still searched for him. Just like you could feel anyone's gaze on you, I always felt his gaze on me. A silent, discreet gaze which never willed to speak or know anything. But who knew, what hid behind those mysterious eyes? At worst, probably a unspeakable amount of hate and disgust towards me. At best, a small, teeny-tiny little corner of affection, which is close to impossible. Everything was very imperfect, but given the conditions of reality, it was a purely platonic, perfect first crush-story!

The Professor's Rule
One night. One stolen kiss. One forbidden touch. It was supposed to be just a moment, an escape. But the moment we shared came with consequences I didn't expect. When I walked into his lecture the next day, everything I felt for him crashed down and he's now the man I answer to. Every glance. Every brush of his hand. Every word... makes it clear: This isn't over. I shouldn't want him. But I do. And he knows it. The desire is dangerous. The temptation is impossible. And giving in... could ruin us both.Complete
Midnight Rewinds
I never believed in perfect starts. I wasn't the guy who lit up a room or made girls turn their heads. But then she walked in-first day of senior year-and everything changed. Her name was Lena. Beautiful, sharp, untouchable. The kind of girl you admire from a distance and never think will notice you. And for a while, she didn't. But then something shifted. I asked for her Instagram. I started texting her. Late-night chats turned into inside jokes, nervous flirting, and long walks under empty skies. Slowly, she let me in. Slowly, I fell-harder than I ever thought possible. She started to love me too... or so I thought. But love is never a straight line. Not when her past is made of broken promises and bruised trust. Not when she starts pulling away just as I'm holding on tighter. I loved her harder the more she faded-and then, one day, she was gone. No explanations. No warning. Just silence. A year passed. Then, one night-midnight phone call, trembling voice, the same girl who broke me once asking if I still remember how it felt to love her. This is the story of how we began. Of how we ended. Of how sometimes, the people who break you are the only ones who know how to put you back together. And maybe-just maybe-some love stories aren't about forever. They're about surviving the parts that almost destroy you.Complete
The Other Guy (BoyxBoy) ✔️
"I walked over to where Aaron was sitting on the ground, kneeling so that I was face-to-face with him. He was wearing a blank expression on his face so I guess he didn't really care if I kissed him or not. I took in a deep breath before taking his face in both of my hands and swooping down to kiss him. At first, I was so nervous I didn't realize that we were already kissing but after a few moments, I realized how soft his lips felt on my own. Before I can register it I felt him moving against me. I would have gotten off of him but I realize that he wasn't moving to get away from me. No, He was moving his lips against mine." °°°°° Aiden Moore isn't extraordinary. He has average looks, he is OK with sports, and his only strong point is that he is smart (although that doesn't mean much to his fellow classmates). And, of course, his virgin ass has never had a girlfriend, let alone a crush. It seemed as if he would never find someone. That was until he met her, Scarlett Hale. She was the most beautiful girl you will ever meet. Kind, sweet, and one of the few people with a higher GPA then him, she was amazing and Aiden imagined that she would be all his. Once Aiden gets rid of her boyfriend, Aaron Tyler. The most annoying guy you will ever meet, Aiden gags just thinking about him. The man is smoking hot and makes Aiden's dreams of getting the girl to seem very impossible. So what would happen if Aiden gets involved with the wrong person? Will Aiden get the girl? Will he fall short? Or will he fall into the arms of a guy who is in love with the girl he loves? _______________________________________ WARNING: First book EVER!

You're It for me
I loved a boy. A boy with the prettiest smile and the messiest hair. A boy who made my heart race. A boy who never looked at me. Until one day... he did. And just like that, everything changed. It started with an art class. A random draw. His name in my hands. What was supposed to be a silly group project turned into late-night chats, endless laughter, and the kind of closeness I never thought I'd have with him. But life isn't always soft. It gets loud. Complicated. And somewhere along the way, we broke. Maybe we were too young. Maybe we weren't ready. Maybe... we were just never meant to last. This is the story of how I fell for him. How I lost him. And how maybe-just maybe-some people find their way back.Complete
I Hate You "SADDO"
"Some bonds are meant to last forever, but what if they're torn apart by a single lie?" The boy who had once called me his peace, the one who promised to stay by my side forever, now stood before me as a stranger. Dressed in a suit, with a "Lecturer" badge on his chest, the boy I once knew was gone. In his place was a man I barely recognized. We had been inseparable. Best friends. But that all changed when she came between us. Her lies, her manipulation, shattered everything. And just like that, the friendship we had built over the years was gone, leaving nothing but silence and questions. Now, he's back. But this time, he's not my healer. He's my teacher. And this shock? It felt like a betrayal. Can we ever find our way back to each other? Or is the damage done too deep to heal?
