When Aurora Violet Cruz, a shy transfer student from the Philippines, moves to a small high school in Tokyo, she promises herself to keep her head down, finish her studies, and go home. But Japan feels different in spring especially when she meets Mikazuki Kaito, the quiet boy with soft eyes who sits beside her in class.
Mikazuki never believed in love at first sight, but something about Aurora the way she laughs, the way she looks out the window when it rains makes his heart ache in silence. He hides his feelings, afraid of ruining the fragile friendship they've built.
But there's one secret Mikazuki doesn't know: Aurora's heart is already falling for Hayato, Mikazuki's best friend the boy with the easy smile and the warmth she can't resist.
As cherry blossoms fall and seasons change, their unspoken feelings twist into something too tender to ignore and too painful to confess.
Because sometimes, love blooms at the wrong time... and words left unsaid hurt the most.

For the booksmart yet naïve 16-year-old Nicky, high school in her quaint little hometown island in the Philippines had always been predictable. Until that senior year. Nicky thought she got things all figured out. She'd be very good at school and be the valedictorian of the single-section class of 2010 of the highly looked-up science high school in their island. And then, she'd get a full scholarship to her dream university. All was fairly well except for a few things like grappling her feelings towards a long-time crush. Just when Nicky thought she could get through high school without too much boy-drama, a somewhat seemingly love life with a boy or two and suddenly, maybe even three was finally catching up with her during the last few months before high school graduation. She had never thought she could be wrong about a person. And that she could always be wrong about boys... ✨✨✨ Sidenote: I wrote this from November 2010 to April 2011, only a year ahead from the time set in the novel. This was fully uploaded on Wattpad in September 2013 for safekeeping. I hadn't gotten back to it in so many years nor find any means and time to promote it. This had long been completed but still needs edit. Enjoy reading! Cheers! P.S. This is not exactly a love story. And yet, it may read a lot like it.Complete

Never A Choice
"No matter the choices I'm given, it'll always be you, Aurie." He was her best friend, her safe place, her everything-the one person who shared the weight on her shoulders. Every laugh, every secret whispered in the night, every quiet moment that stitched to the fabric of her heart made her feel like the world belonged only to them. But then, in the blink of an eye, he chose someone else. Her world crumbles down. Unaware of the truth behind his decision, Aurora Everhart is left to face the hollow ache of losing him. But as fate pulls her between love and heartbreak, she can't shake the question that still haunts her, 'Was I ever really a choice?' "No one shielded me from the storm the way you did, Ronnie. But now you're leaving me alone with nothing to cover myself." His whole world revolved around her, his only best friend, the one person he thought he knew better than anyone else. He understood her every laugh, every whisper, every unspoken thought...but never the secret she had kept so carefully hidden from him, just as his own heart held truths he hadn't fully understood. Bounded by a promise and terrified of the truth buried deep inside that he refuses to acknowledge, he's forced to choose someone else and leave his Aurie alone in the storm. Will he ever be able to win her back, even after the choices he's made? The two promises that tore his life apart- the one that he still upholds and the other that he failed to keep- whisper words of desolation in his ear: 'I promise to keep you happy, I promise to... marry you' and 'I promise, my baby strawberry, if I'm ever lost, I'll always find my way back to you.' We often think the heart and the brain are at odds, but in their tale, we get to know that hearts themselves are their own fiercest contradictors - stubborn, unrelenting, and impossible to ignore.
