Maeven Eloise C. De Vera hated the thought of love-ironic, considering she grew up with two parents who proved that love defies all norms. Her father was gentle and flamboyant, her mother strong and grounded-a pair that worked perfectly. You'd think she'd be a hopeless romantic because of them, but Maeven believed otherwise.
Despite her disbelief in love, she was the university's social butterfly-smart, beautiful, and adored by everyone. Well, almost everyone.
Nikolai Calix L. Santiago was the exception. Everything about her infuriated him-the way she talked, walked, breathed, and worse, the way she lived rent-free in his head. Determined to beat her at something, he made it his mission to outshine her.
To get her attention, he started taunting her in every way possible-little pranks, harmless jokes-until one went too far.
And that's when something shifted.
For the first time, Nikolai didn't want to win against her-he wanted to win... her?

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

The Daisy Effect
Essa Harmony Argana's senior year plan was supposed to be simple: survive algebra without crying, dodge her mom's daily TED Talks about straight A+ grades, and make sure her childhood best friend Raymar didn't blow up the TLE canteen. That was it. Clean. Manageable. Foolproof. Nowhere on that list: falling for a fourteen-year-old sophomore who kept ambushing her with daisies and handwritten letters that smelled faintly of cologne and trouble. Tyron Sanchez is a disaster for her GPA-a charming, relentless sophomore who seems to have made it his mission to prove that age is just a number. And then there's Raymar Bastian, who knows her better than she knows herself... and is starting to look at her like he's finally realized she's not just one of the guys. Now Essa has to choose between the safe, familiar heart she's always known, and the reckless, thrilling one that makes her forget every carefully laid plan. And if she's not careful, she might lose both her future and her oldest friend in the process.Complete
