The Perfect Storm ( original version)
Austin and Suki have been inseparable since the day they were born. They were the ultimate duo, so close that even their parents couldn't get them to spend a moment apart during their childhood. However, something shifted when they started first grade together. Suki began to feel something she couldn't quite understand, so she pushed it aside and ignored it. But by the time fifth grade rolled around, Suki knew exactly what she was feeling. She was head-over-heels in love with Austin. Sadly, Austin was too preoccupied with his friends to notice the way Suki felt about him. As they entered into middle school, Austin pursued other girls, leaving Suki to watch from the sidelines, heartbroken. High school brought a glimmer of hope for Suki when she heard that Austin had finally come to his senses and realized he had feelings for her too. But it seemed like fate had a cruel sense of humor when she caught her teammate locking lips with Austin. Now, the question remains: Can Austin win back the heart of his one and only best friend, or has Suki moved on from the feelings she had for him back in middle school? Author note: this book is the first book I ever wrote and finished. I will eventually rewrite this whole book make some changes and make little more sense, and getting to know each one of the main characters. This version of this book will stay like this and I will make a whole new book. Why the name of the book says original on it. I will eventually post this book. So stay tuned and happy reading!Complete
I just want you to want me too
Book 1 of 2 There is no doubt that this story is about love, but romance might be a smaller part of it. This story is about love in all of its different disguises. It's about friends and family who would burn the world for each other, and family who would burn the world to be away from one another. But mainly, this story is about Rose living out her last year in high school with all of its difficulties and hardships and love and acceptance and weird teachers and mythical creatures. And even after all of that, you're still mainly searching for romance? Fine. One of Rose's hardships is the undeniable truth that she's in love with her best friend, but her best friend doesn't love her back...right?Complete
Cynical Souls
COMPLETED✅ Two high school teenagers finding themselves, analyzing this ever changing world, and building love. This is the type of love you wish you found in high school but probably know way too well that it only exists as fiction. Today I'm turning my fiction to reality. ❣️•••❣️ Excerpt: Just as I was about to seek shelter under some building's roof, the tires of a car come to a halt, I wonder who might pity the lonely girl walking in the rain. The passenger window rolls down, and I spot the most unexpected person seated behind the wheel. "Get in" comes out his voice, and I must've stood there agape for a few moments because next comes his rhetorical question. "Are you getting in or continuing walking in the rain?" Eyebrows raised expectantly. He sounds annoyed, like he regrets his decision to ever stop and help me. ❣️•••❣️ #5 in cynical #2 in loveandfriendship #1 in opinionated #4 in ihatelife #10 in nerdgirl #10 in HighschoolRomance #26 in GoodGirlBadBoy *contains mature themes. *contains cursing.Complete

Somewhere Between Then and Now
Arin never meant to fall apart. Not loudly. Not dramatically. Just quietly - one bad day at a time. At fourteen, he feels invisible at home, disconnected at school, and trapped inside a mind that won't slow down. His friends want popularity. His parents want perfection. Arin just wants to breathe. After a night where everything cracks, Arin begins the slow climb back - through music, drawing, new friendships, and the quiet moments that rebuild a person when nobody's watching. A story about breaking, healing, growing, and learning to stand again. Not perfectly. Just honestly. A deeply emotional coming-of-age journey for anyone who's ever felt lost between who they were and who they're becoming.
