Almost Us tells the story of Arianna, when everything could still happen, when everything felt possible and nothing really was. In 2016, the city felt too small, the nights too short or too nosy, and nothing in between. Between skipping school and the smoke of badly rolled joints, growing up feels urgent. There are beach sunsets, captured in poorly grainy taken Polaroids that somehow look golden. On the coast, cigarettes pass between friends, and the first joints are smoked like rites of passage. School becomes just another place to find weed. The future feels distant. Happiness feels easy - or at least loud. But something is already slipping. Almost Us is a story of youth as illusion: the friendships that almost lasted, the freedom that almost meant something, and the version of ourselves we almost became and never accepted.

And not every heart you try to save leaves you untouched •••••• Author: wrote this book as a teenager with no clue as to what it'll become , my first ever book published here.

Some connections don't make sense. Some people don't fit into your life the way they should. And yet... you keep going back. Dunk lives in noise-flashing lights, crowded rooms, and music loud enough to drown out everything else. Joong lives in quiet-late nights, soft coffee steam, and a routine that never changes. They were never supposed to meet. And they definitely weren't supposed to keep meeting. But somewhere between after-hours and almost-mornings, between unfinished conversations and lingering looks- they become something. Not lovers. Not strangers. Just... something they don't understand. And maybe that's the problem. Or maybe- that's the reason they can't stop. - "I don't understand... but I love you."

They all walk the same hallways. Sit in the same classrooms. Laugh at the same jokes. But none of them are living the same life. Mike knows what it's like to smile while falling apart inside. To promise change at night and forget it by morning. To feel like nobody would notice if he disappeared... even in a crowded room. And in this school, Mike is far from the only one. Everyone's hiding something.

Five years after his mother's overdose, Koa is barely surviving-haunted by guilt, numbed by smoke, and slowly disappearing inside the decaying house they once shared. Weed is the only thing that quiets the noise. And Aspen is the only thing that makes him want to stay. She appears in the haze like a lifeline-sharp-tongued, wild-haired, and impossible in ways Koa knows should terrify him. At first, he tells himself she's just another symptom. A hallucination born from grief, addiction, and the kind of loneliness that hollows you out. But Aspen knows things she shouldn't. About his past. About his pain. About the parts of himself he's tried hardest to bury. And when Koa starts catching glimpses of her beyond the smoke-somewhere real, somewhere breathing-he's forced to question whether he's losing his mind... ...or whether the girl he thought he imagined has been waiting for him all along. Dark, raw, and achingly atmospheric, Euphoric is a haunting story of addiction, grief, guilt, and the dangerous line between escape and reality. Some people disappear slowly. And some find themselves in the smoke.
