Sixteen-year-old Luna wins a coveted scholarship to the prestigious St. Helena Academy, a world of marble corridors and designer uniforms where wealth speaks louder than words.
From Arrival to Adversity
In her first weeks, Luna's sharp intelligence draws wary stares and subtle scorn. Whispers turn to calculated pranks and social isolation, testing the quiet resolve she brought from home.
Cracks and Confrontation
When a humiliating incident threatens to break her spirit, Luna relies on observation and methodical reasoning instead of outbursts. She records, analyzes, and calmly exposes the truth, forcing the school to see what it prefers to ignore.
Quiet Resistance
With the worst bully suspended, Luna rebuilds her confidence, nurtures genuine friendships, and channels her brilliance into a prize-winning science project. Even after her rival's return, Luna answers every provocation with poise, turning patience and intellect into quiet influence.
The Summit
Invited to speak at the Academy's year-end banquet, Luna addresses donors and peers with grace, sharing lessons of perseverance without bitterness. Her words earn a standing ovation-and a subtle truce with her former tormentor.
Quiet Steps is a slice-of-life psychological drama about resilience in the face of class prejudice and cruelty. Through five vivid parts-The Scholarship Girl, Cracks in the Glass, The Breaking Point, Quiet Resistance, and The Summit-Luna proves that true strength isn't loud. It is steady, observant, and unyielding, carrying her from outsider to respected voice without a single act of revenge.

A Dress, A Glance and Him
Some silences speak louder than love confessions. Lune didn't wear dresses. Endri didn't ask questions. Until one morning changed both. Set in the quiet corridors and shadowed classrooms of a university , when Lune shows up in a black dress she wouldn't normally wear, and Endri crosses the street just to walk beside her, something shifts. What starts as casual teasing and coffee turns into something heavier-silent glances across classrooms, prose that sounds too personal, bruises that don't have stories, and a past that doesn't want to stay buried. It's about the unspoken things. The mornings that mean more than they should. The friend you never meant to fall into. And the distance you keep... just to feel safe. A soft, emotional slow-burn about friendship that might be something more-if only someone were brave enough to say it.Complete
Silently Falling (UNEDITED, ORIGINAL)
This is the UNEDITED, ORIGINAL version of Silently Falling. If you wish to find the edited version, please go to my profile and you will find it there :) The original was edited starting August 2020. - - - "Sunshine, what guy do you know has a weird fetish with sign language?" She's the aftermath of a high school party nightmare. Tragedy robbed her of her innocence and stole her voice before she had the chance to speak out. The court called her a liar, and the guilty was set free. Now memories plague her mind and trap her in solitude. She was forced to learn sign language, struggling to find a way to voice her silence. He's the definition of the boy she tried to stay away from. The epitome of harsh rumors and hopeless fantasies. The source of lies and blame. He's analyzed, misunderstood, and utterly mysterious. And he may be the one to find her voice. When they meet, she gets accustomed to his arrogance and he gets accustomed to her silence. An essay is what brings them together, but what happens when he starts asking too many questions? Will her past continue to drag her down, or will he save her? Fate has a funny way of bringing people together, but it doesn't always work how it's supposed to. - - - *different summary inside* COVER: EnsurelComplete
You Talk Too Much
Nicolas didn't want friends. Didn't want attention. Definitely didn't want her. But then Lina sat next to him. Every. Single. Day. She talked through the awkward silences, laughed at her own jokes, and asked questions he never answered. She was chaos in sneakers and bubblegum lip gloss - and he wanted nothing to do with her. ...Until he did. Because somehow, her noise started drowning out the thoughts he didn't know how to escape. And her voice became the only thing that made the silence bearable. This isn't a love story. Not at first. This is a story about a boy who lost his spark... And the girl who wouldn't let him disappear quietly. ✅ Nicolas ✅ Lina ✅ "You Talk Too Much" ✅ High school setting ✅ Healing + chaos + slow-burn (Btw I forgot to add that there will be no smut of any kind in this story. Maybe an innocent kiss or something but nothing else)

The Dark Side of the Moon
"Fuck, baby. You can't say things like that to me. I want to, also. Trust me." His hand snakes down my body until he enters two of his fingers into my wet center. I can only moan in response. "However," he kisses my neck possessively, finding the right spot to drive me crazy. "I need to build you up to that." He pushes his fingers in and out of me, hitting deeper and deeper as his strokes become longer and harder and faster. "You feel that? My fingers deep in your pussy that's dripping for me?" He licks the side of my neck as my breaths come out in short pants. "My dick is going to stretch you out so much more. When I finally fuck you, you're going to be sore for days.
