Drama, love, adventures and more.

Behind every mean girl...there's a tragedy
The average human being spends every second of his day fighting against the force of nature to see another day. But I'm different. I'm not afraid of outside forces to take my life away - only myself. Approximately 10 years ago, something happened to me. Something really bad. But I'm not allowed to talk about it. As a way to release my frustration, I give hell to my body and everyone I come in contact with - especially my parents. No one knows about what happened except the ones who did it...and Him. But he didn't stay. Now, he's back and he's not talking either. I want to stop hurting, I need to stop. Make me stop.Complete
Blood On My Boarding Pass
I was raised in an attic. And now I'm flying to Jeju Island with a bleeding lip and a Delta ticket. Emma Verma's life was never normal. Living with an abusive uncle, jealous cousin, and no real family, she learned to fight quietly. With sarcasm in her blood and ambition in her eyes, she earned a scholarship to the most elite international school in Asia-Mugunghwa Education Campus, where everyone's rich, flawless, and deadly competitive. But before boarding her first international flight, Emma gets one final reminder of everything she's leaving behind: bruises, betrayal, and the tiniest thread of found family who cared enough to fight for her. Now she's headed toward a new life-one with music, design, secrets, and a British DJ with yellow headphones who talks too fast. This is not a fairy tale. This is not a rags-to-riches glow-up. This is the story of a girl who was never meant to survive... but did anyway.
