[ON-HOLD]

It is now the year 2103, and things have changed. You'd think we would have grown as a society over the years, but you are dead wrong. Women, young or old, are in the grasp of a male's power. Carla Jones, a teenager born in Aethervale, Fuerto, attends TailerHel High: a selective enrollment high school dedicated to teaching women how to please men.

For many years, Carla followed the 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁 𝗖𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗮𝗹𝗲: the system that controls how women behave, learn, and live. Until one day, she meets a boy. Danny Diaz, a boy who believes in the rights of women. Carla initially doesn't trust Danny, but they eventually unite, believing they can bring about change.

Will Danny and Carla revive the will of the people, and flush out the corruption that has tainted their right to protest, speak their opinions, and allow the rise of democracy?

More Than Just Friends by sunshinewhenitsgone
9 parts Ongoing Mature
Carla and Royce have been best friends since high school - ever since the day he stood up for her against a group of bullies. From that moment, their friendship became unshakable. They were inseparable through exams, heartbreaks, and dreams that changed over time. Now, at twenty-eight, life looks different. Carla is a hardworking office employee - smart, loyal, and a little rough around the edges. Her tomboy charm hides the scars left by her past; an abusive father taught her to be wary of love, to equate romance with pain. So, she never dated. She laughs, she teases, she lives - but she never lets anyone in. Royce, meanwhile, has become the embodiment of success - young, rich, and handsome, having built his own IT company from the ground up. He's dated a few women, but no relationship lasts long. What no one knows - least of all Carla - is that every date was an attempt to forget her. Every breakup, a reminder that he never could. Their friendship remains the one constant in both their lives - built on trust, laughter, and years of unspoken care. But as they grow older, the lines begin to blur. A casual touch lingers too long. A jealous pang sneaks in when someone else flirts. And when Carla faces a personal crisis that forces her to confront the fears she's buried for years, Royce has to decide - does he keep being her best friend, or risk it all to be something more? Because loving Carla means being patient. It means breaking through walls she doesn't even realize she built. And for Carla, learning to love Royce back means learning that not every man becomes his father.

- a featured story on wattpad @sport - a featured story on wattpad @generalfiction School has an odd way of making you hate it yet love the people you meet. I hate both. I've been the new boy at my school for nearly five months. Since my family's life of poverty was flipped on its head I've seen my entire world open up; it's like I was living in a cave. This time last year, I was 'too poor to have a Valentine'. This time this year, I just don't have the guts. Seriously, "Valentine's Day is the root of human anxiety." ~ Albert Einstein. (Don't look it up. I'm telling you what 'the government' doesn't want you to know.) But school has an odd way of giving you the perfect friends, a perfect love life and perfectly supporting your dreams to be a pro football player like your older brother. That, or it crushes you. It just crushes you. Your dreams? Crushed. Your friends? Meh. Your love life? Nonexistent (but as soon as it exists, CRUSHED). But we don't know what will happen for sure, right? I'm Roman Turner, but you can call me "the cool man". Gosh, I know I'll cringe at this later. ----------- - a featured story on wattpad @sport - a romance winner at the multi awards - a story told through two points of view • Romance/Sport/Slice of Life | Roman • Prose/Mystery/Psychological | Danielle • BOOK ONE: LIVING. • (EST.) 3390 words/part. • Cover artist - Sage Hieran.
