The kind you could get lost in.
And I guess I did.

Xavier Maverick is the prince of Athadia. Even though he is cold and stoic, he is loved by all the kingdom all because of his brilliant mother and father, Queen Thalia and King Derek. He has come of age to become the next king, but in order to do that, he needs a wife. And his parents have chosen the perfect girl: Xavier's childhood friend, Princess Astrid Brielle, daughter of King Abraham and Queen Lexa of the neighboring kingdom: Ivrealia.
Astrid Brielle may be a princess, but she acts nothing like it. She honestly would rather climb a tree or go riding on her horse Charlie through the woods than rule a kingdom. But when her parents wish to reunite her with Xavier and to marry her off to gain a stronger alliance with Athadia, Astrid wants nothing to do with it. She and Xavier have hated each other for 4 years now, and nothing they could say would change that.
How can Xavier live up to his parents expectations and still find happiness? Will Astrid find out the truth of what really happened all those years ago? Will both the prince and princess overcome their differences and fall in love?

Fervent Sorrow {Completed}
I fell in love with Hansel seven years ago. I fell in love with a side of him that was sweet, caring, persistent and loving. He taught me what it felt like to be human, what it meant to love someone with all your being. And then he came: Klaus. He's declared war three years earlier than we predicted and it's forced Hansel and I to do the one thing we promised not to do: separate. We both joined the GUARDIANS in order to help, but in a desperate attempt to find where Klaus will open his portal and begin the war, Hansel gave up the one thing that was most precious to him: his memories of us.

It just felt right because It was unnecessary drama.
Well, this is a journal, so you found it. Can I say Happy reading into my life? The life of a kid who hates love. This is a love story, darling. Well, I don't know about you but I hate school, I have been told it is a place to mingle with good souls and create moments to cherish and to get yourself educated. It is a place for youth to strive and bloom into respected beings. It is a sanctuary of sanity. If you ask me, school is the definition of drama as it is the birthplace of drama. Youth is the ambassador of chaos, you can either make the chaos good or bad, worth the pleasure or the very cause of death. Life is too short to live with a sane mind, there is no harm in breaking rules to live life the way you want as long as it makes you good. As with any classical young adult romance, this book is filled with horny, hormone imbalance, chemical imbalances, not loved and very well-loved, mature(childish), caring(cruel ) teenagers. All of this drama only started because of one guy, Mark Austin Jawa, the golden boy of Winter Abyss High School. Maybe Mark had nothing to do at all.It was just about 4 kids learning to live Did I forget to say, there are inhuman beings as well in this story? There are romance, drama, revenge, supernatural, chaos, lust, betrayal, hate, friendship, mental health issues, Johnny Christopher Depp || fan and hater, selenophile, diversity of nations and their skins and of course, there are gays. There are also LGBTQ ++ in this pure chaos-filling story of 21st-century humans and the Novel Coronavirus 2019 Disease better known as Covid 19. Oh, I almost forgot, this tale is even more screw up than the famous love story of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare.Complete
