They say the world is the same for everyone. But for them... it never was. Living in a world that feels too loud, too bright, too overwhelming, they've both learned to survive in silence-misunderstood, judged, and forced to fit into something they were never meant to be. Back to back, yet closer than anyone realises, their lives begin to intertwine in ways neither of them expected. Because sometimes... the people who see the world differently are the only ones who truly understand each other. And maybe-just maybe-being different was never the problem. Different, Not Less ~ A story of seeing the world differently. A powerful and heartfelt story about individuals with autism, navigating a world that wasn't built with them in mind-yet still longing to be seen, understood, and accepted for who they truly are. In a world that feels too loud, too fast, and too overwhelming, they are constantly misunderstood. This is a story about living with autism-about the quiet battles, the unseen struggles, and the deep, unspoken desire to be understood in a place that was never designed for minds like theirs.

| teacher x student | wxw | slow burn | When 19-year-old Lena James enters English Literature class, she expects nothing special. Instead, she meets Ms. Sinclair her cold, sharp-tongued British literature teacher. Elegant, cutting, and unbearably superior. From the very first lesson, the 34-year-old woman seems to take pleasure in dismantling Lena's every opinion with cruel precision. Lena hates her. She hates the condescending red marks on her essays, the raised eyebrow that makes her feel small, and the way Ms. Sinclair lingers in her thoughts long after class ends. But hate this intense has a way of twisting into something far more dangerous. With a strict 15-year age gap and an unbreakable teacher-student boundary, their slow-burning tension threatens to break every rule both in literature and in real life. Some lessons aren't taught kindly. And some hatreds taste too much like desire. "Ms. Sinclair's Secret"
