Growing Pains
In the day-to-day trenches of high school, it is almost the default-setting to believe we are the main character of our own coming-of-age story. This is not wrong. It's just ours isn't the only story there is. The jocks, the nerds, the cheerleaders, the losers, the stoners, the fangirls, the skaters. Everyone's the realest most important person in existence, all of them, at the same time, first-person narrators to their own stories, stumbling into each other's plot lines, defying the status-quo, catalysts to ups and downs. A deconstruction of all the high school tropes and cliches written over the years, a deep-dive into the psyche of students trying to finish high school while going through irrevocable self-discovery, the most improbable of connections, and the insufferable pains of growing up.Complete

Turning Back Time |TBT|
Avail Smith appeared to be living the archetypal "perfect" life. As the captain of the cheerleading squad and a top-class student, she held the ideal image of success. Her boyfriend was the epitome of perfection, and her group of friends seemed carefully curated to match. But beneath this façade of flawlessness, a distorted sense of perfection concealed her true self. Malik Jenson, on the other hand, had experienced a markedly different life. From a tender age, he was thrust into a role of responsibility, forced to support his family after his father's sudden departure and the tragic passing of his stepfather shortly after his younger siblings were born. His days were a juggling act between school, helping at his family's café, and caring for his cousin and siblings. This relentless burden made it challenging for him to fit in with his peers. He became an introvert, finding solace only within the tight-knit circle of his family. In the eyes of the world, Malik was a solitary figure, an outsider in the school's social hierarchy. Their lives followed divergent paths, with Avail reveling in her popular clique while Malik remained on the fringes, often branded as the school's outcast. However, a tragic event shatters the status quo and propels Avail into a whirlwind of remorse and self-reflection. As she grapples with the true nature of her seemingly perfect existence, she can't escape the haunting guilt stemming from what happened to her classmate, Malik. Fate intervenes, offering her an unexpected opportunity to rewrite history. Now, faced with the prospect of altering the course of time, Avail must confront the question of whether she possesses the power to reshape destiny or if her actions will unleash unforeseen consequences that could haunt her forever.
