Abby thought making a short film for media class would be just another box to check - another project to survive, not feel. Then she gets paired with Maxine Baker. Max, with her too-bright laughter and soft chaos. Max, who makes even the ordinary feel cinematic.
Between late-night editing sessions, stolen glances across cluttered desks, and a camera that always seems to catch too much, the line between their project and their lives starts to blur. The film becomes a mirror - one that shows them not just who they are, but who they're becoming.
As Abby's carefully curated walls begin to crack - her family's divorce, old heartbreaks, the fear of being truly seen - Max refuses to look away. And somewhere between takes, friendship turns into something tender, terrifying, and real.
It's not a love story they planned. But it's one the camera can't stop recording.

𝘈𝘭𝘮𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘦𝘯𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 // 𝘈𝘣𝘪𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘭 𝘓𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘮𝘢𝘯.
Abby has learned how to disappear. Not literally but in the quiet ways only some will notice. Skipping meals, avoiding mirrors, shrinking herself until she feels small enough to be invisible. At school, no one really sees her pain, not even when it's screaming behind her smile. Not until Emely walks in. Emely is new, loud in her own quiet way, and unapologetically different. She's chubby, confident at least on the surface and her presence turns heads. But under that armor is a girl just as lost as Abby, just as weighed down by her reflection, just as desperate to be loved without conditions. As their lives intertwine, Abby and Emely discover a kind of friendship they've never known before: one built not on perfection, but on pain, healing, and truth. Together, they confront what it means to live in bodies the world tells them to change and whether they can ever feel whole in their own skin. But healing isn't easy. And not all wounds are visible. - Started : June 11, 2025 Ended: July 2, 2025 © @whimsicalbbydollComplete
𝐞𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐩𝐞𝐫//𝘢𝘣𝘣𝘺 𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘮𝘢𝘯
After her mom spirals deeper into addiction and lands in rehab, Abigail is sent to live with the last person she ever wanted to see: her dad. The same dad who walked out years ago-and is now playing house with his young, pretty girlfriend, Anna. Abby doesn't do new beginnings. She's barely holding it together as it is. Between her body issues, her anxiety, and a closet full of oversized hoodies, she just wants to disappear. But then she shows up. 𝘋𝘰𝘳𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘺 𝘓𝘢𝘯𝘦. Rich, untouchable, a little too perfect for someone who just got kicked out of her elite prep school. With her designer bags, perfect grades, and that permanent smirk, Dorothy looks like the kind of girl who eats girls like Abby for breakfast. They start off enemies-cutting, sneering, daring each other to break first. But the lines blur fast. The fights get hotter, the stares get darker, and every touch-accidental or not-leaves a spark. Because underneath the anger and the pain, there's something dangerous brewing: a craving neither of them understands but can't resist. Hate. Obsession. Lust. Maybe even love.

"I... Am here to see you.", I told him as I placed my hands around his neck. I could feel my heart beat getting faster but I had to keep it strong if I had to survive this scenario. "What?", Brandon asked completely startled. I leaned in more closer to him. The only good thing in this entire scene was that he wasn't pushing me back due to my creepy behaviour. "Oh... Bran, I was missing you so much, I just... I needed to see you.", I said as I came up with lie. "Are you drunk?", Brandon asked as he leaned in closer trying to smell my mouth. Thank God Fel had given me her mint gum only moments before I went commando and came inside the locker room. "What?", I scoffed still standing extremely close to Brandon. "I just.... I was missing your gorgeous face.", I told another lie. But wait? His face is gorgeous so that isn't a lie. And was I not missing seeing him? I noticed Brandon who just had his eyes popped out of his socket with bewilderment at my words. I decided to peck him on the cheek before I storm out of the locker room. I leaned ahead to peck Brandon who moved his face in my direction and instead of his cheeks, our lips crashed. Brushing against each other, our lips touched. I could feel fireworks exploding inside my entire body.
