Staring.
Sounds innocent enough
Google describes it as to gaze fixedly and intently, especially with one's eyes wide open.
Teenagers describe it as checking out that guy or girl you really like, or, just because
And bookworms usually prefer staring as, carefully observing from a distance
Well, Danielle Hendriks isn't your average bookworm, also not a normal teenager and sure as hell not Google,
but
she is a starer and starers tend to look at the right thing at just the right time
Join Danielle on her trip to Goldvalley, a little town in the rolling hills of Mpumalanga as she meets the handsome, mysterious, reseaving end of her staring and learns the true meaning of taking risks and following stars
-----
Laugh, love and feel as we take a look at the mind of the starer and the usual, stared at
----------
And please my fellow readers

The Way She Looked at Him
It started with a look. It won't end with one. She never meant to notice him - not like that. But once she did, she couldn't stop. A quiet woman begins to orbit a stranger, her fascination growing with every accidental meeting, every shared glance. To her, it feels like love - gentle, fated, inevitable. Yet the more she looks, the less she truly sees him. What begins as longing slowly bends into something else: fixation, control, the illusion of connection. The Way She Looked at Him starts as a tender, introspective love story and deepens into a study of obsession - how easily affection can become delusion, and how dangerous it is to mistake noticing for knowing.

In Between Glances ( Complete)
Title: " In Between Glances" Narrated by Me They say some stories are made up, crafted from imagination and wishful thinking. But this one? This story lived-right in front of my eyes. It begins with my brother Vansh's two best friends: Aryan and Samar. From the outside, they were just friends-inseparable, always laughing, always looking for trouble together. But I saw it. The lingering glances, the soft silences, the way their voices changed when they spoke to each other. It was love. Real love. But neither of them dared to name it. And then, there was Arpit. A calm, quiet guy until he met Mital-a girl who walked in like a burst of sunshine. Bubbly, loud, and a little too chaotic for someone like him. And yet, somehow, their worlds collided... and love bloomed. This is their story. And I'm just the one lucky enough to watch it unfold. ---Complete
Avni : His Silent Light
He held up his hands, trying to sound casual, but the sight stopped her cold-blood smeared across his fingers, dark and fresh. "Relax, it's nothing," he said smoothly, his voice trying to soothe, but her heart pounded in stark disbelief. Her eyes widened, fixed on the crimson stains, a silent scream caught in her throat. Horror dripped from every glance. "Nothing? You killed him," she whispered, voice barely steady, trembling with a mixture of fear and accusation. "You're a murderer." He scoffed, a cold shadow flickering in his unreadable eyes. "Don't insult me wifey. I'm above that." The weight of his words pressed down like a guillotine as she steadied herself, voice sharp with defiance. "I'll tell everyone. I won't marry you." A slow, cruel smile curved his lips as he leaned in, his breath ghosting against her ear like a deadly promise. "Will you? Go ahead-tell everyone. I'll destroy everything you hold dear, just like your telling would destroy mine. We'll go down together." He leaned closer, his voice dropping to a chilling whisper. "And as for not marrying me... oh wifey , you don't get to choose. You'll be mine-whether it's in a wedding dress, or buried in a legend". He wasn't supposed to pull her in-didn't even understand why he was drawn to her. She wasn't the most beautiful, but something beneath the surface called to him. A ruthless heir haunted by betrayal, he never let strangers close... yet he craved to keep her. ☆☆☆☆
The Bizarre Files from Aksamala's Twisted Mind II
I know you didn't come back out of longing. You came back out of curiosity. Because in the first book, I deliberately left some doors closed. Or maybe-just maybe-you're reading this because you're still single and lonely. Relax. Lonely people are often the ones who linger the longest in someone else's story. Especially when the story is messier than their own life. In these book, I open just enough for you to peek in- but never enough for you to feel at ease.
Soft Silence
"𝐼𝑛 𝑎 𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑙𝑑 𝑓𝑢𝑙𝑙 𝑜𝑓 𝑚𝑜𝑜𝑛𝑠, 𝑠ℎ𝑒'𝑠 𝑚𝑦 𝑠𝑢𝑛." 𝘿𝙞𝙮𝙖 𝙎𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙢𝙖 is kind, too kind and strong in the way that makes people forget she bleeds too. Love was never expected, only endurance. So when her father asked her to marry she nodded... not out of hope, but habit. 𝙑𝙚𝙙𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙈𝙖𝙡𝙝𝙤𝙩𝙧𝙖, grew up in a home that taught him how to build empires but never taught him how to ask for a hug. Marriage was never part of the plan until a hospital room, a fading pulse, and the one man he could never disappoint whispered a final wish. Neither expected warmth. Neither expected understanding. And they definitely didn't expect comfort in each's other's silence. A tale of quiet yearning- an arranged marriage where silence becomes a language and love sneaks in when no one's looking. - M 💌

A Black American, teenage cheer captain for her squad, the Sultan's Flower. We all know how it ends, the story of the sexy cheerleader and the captain of the football team. But this one was different. Amanda, being who she was, never made it any easier to be asked out on a date, or even to prom. Being the Cheer-Captain of her squad with a stiff attitude, she sure knew how to chase them off without trying. No doubt, she was the prettiest amongst her mate, and besides her two best friends, Bridget and Elena, Amanda was considered the meanest of her friends, and finding love proved more difficult for her. But was that the case? She doubted as she began to find letters, love letters, hidden inside her locker. Creepy or romantic? Amanda was set on finding the boy behind the letters. Watching her from the far end of the hallway was the one behind the letters, observing every single detail but, could she see him? _________________________________________ Teen fiction winner at #book worm monthly award (June) - - - - - 25/6/2020 3rd place in the NOBLE AWARD 2020 - - - - - 14/7/2020 2nd place in the HEATHER AWARD 2020 - - - - - 11/11/2020 3rd place in the PURPLE AWARD 2021 - - - - - - - 24/1/2021 _________________________________________ 👉*********👈 _______________ Started ~~~~~ April, 25, 2020 _________________________________________ Finished ~~~~~ June, 18, 2020Complete
