I wasn't looking when I first met you. And it took me forever to realize you were everything I was looking for. I'd been looking for you all this time and never even knew. I tried to push you away, ignore you, but nothing was working. I soon found out the more I tried to get rid of you, the quicker I found out that I needed you. It was you. It was always you. You keeping me up at night because I'm thinking of all the things I wish I could tell you. Whenever I bought something, my first thought was if you would like it. And I thought maybe, just maybe whenever I smile, you'd catch a glimpse of me, and fall for me the way I fell for you.

Cynical Souls
COMPLETED✅ Two high school teenagers finding themselves, analyzing this ever changing world, and building love. This is the type of love you wish you found in high school but probably know way too well that it only exists as fiction. Today I'm turning my fiction to reality. ❣️•••❣️ Excerpt: Just as I was about to seek shelter under some building's roof, the tires of a car come to a halt, I wonder who might pity the lonely girl walking in the rain. The passenger window rolls down, and I spot the most unexpected person seated behind the wheel. "Get in" comes out his voice, and I must've stood there agape for a few moments because next comes his rhetorical question. "Are you getting in or continuing walking in the rain?" Eyebrows raised expectantly. He sounds annoyed, like he regrets his decision to ever stop and help me. ❣️•••❣️ #5 in cynical #2 in loveandfriendship #1 in opinionated #4 in ihatelife #10 in nerdgirl #10 in HighschoolRomance #26 in GoodGirlBadBoy *contains mature themes. *contains cursing.Complete
Book 2: The Hell Mouth.
My eyes snapped open as I fully remembered it. Remembered what he had done to me. He kissed me. I brought my hand up to my lips and gently touched them. I realized a smile had over come my face. I wish I had kissed back. Why did he kiss me in the first place? I had never talked to him about that and now I was getting more and more curious. I had felt fire works. No. More than that... I felt passion, wonder, confusion, love, life, light, a beautiful feeling that I never have felt before. Not even with Ryder. Should I ask him? Did he feel the same thing? Does he feel that way? But he's dating Catherine. Does he like me? Did he like me? Does he only see me as a friend now? Had I missed my chance? Was I being an idiot for thinking such things? Was that image supposed to be a sign that I'm supposed to be with him? Or was it the world trying to break me again?Complete
My best friends crush
My best friend watched him all the time. She didn't even try to hide the fact that she crushed on him, but why would she when everyone else seemed to do exactly the same. It seemed like I was the only person left with a little sense in my mind. Sure, he was hot and all, but I always liked to believe that there was something more to people then what we could see. And it was...Complete
Friendship's Overrated
"Levon." Todd answered, voice hard. "Todd." Levon responded just as coolly. There was a pause. "Are you busy?" "I just got back from class," Todd said. "Waiting for Betto to get out of his lab so we can go for supper." "Nice." Levon wanted to punch himself. Todd just hummed in affirmation. Another pause as Levon tried to find a way to dispel the tension in the call. "Are you good?" Todd asked when Levon failed to form a sentence, and Levon realized how out of character it was for him to call Todd. There a was a layer of concern just under Todd's indifferent tone, and the protectiveness that seemed ever present in Todd when they were younger and Todd was always saving Levon from his problems. Levon's anger seemed to melt away at that familiar sense of security. "I'm good," Levon spoke finally and a soft smile spread over his lips. "Are you good?" "I'm good," Todd said gruffly. "Are we good?" Levon asked and Todd scoffed. "What we. There is no we. We're not friends." "Wouldn't want you as a friend anyway," Levon snickered. "You're kind of an asshole." Or Todd and Levon, and their acceptance that they were never meant to be friends. (Disclaimer: there will be foul language, more fluff than plot, and BoyxBoy romance. Read at your own risk!)Complete

Chasing Sunshine
As I looked over at her, it struck me how beautiful she was. Her hair was blowing carelessly in the wind, a halo on her head. I had the oddest impulse to reach out and touch it. See if it was as soft as it looked. Her lips were curled into a soft smile that radiated warmth. I wondered who or what she was thinking of and my heart skipped a beat imagining her smiling for me. It's crazy how I never noticed how blue he eyes are. Or how her laughter sounds like summertime. It's strange how I never really looked at her. And suddenly I couldn't stop staring. - You saved me. He saved me. She saved me. I saved me. I loved the three of you. I love the three of you. - Love and Lust series, book one.Complete

Shy Boy
There was a boy that likes a girl. He always took notice of her even when she wasn't aware of his presence. With his nerdy appearance and his black-rimmed eyeglasses, he thought it was improbable that he could have a chance with her. He was just a nobody. Always afraid of taking chances, fearing of stumbling in the midst of his words, and his confidence shrinking. Even the thought of her, he has the butterflies growing in his stomach. With just one look at her and he was already in trouble. All he needed would just be that little push to overcome his shyness and taking a step forward. -- #1 on #highschoollove #2 on #loveatfirstsight #122 on #firstlove #14 in #shortstory Thank you!Complete
