Almost Stories

Almost, Always, and Anyway New Orleans hums with music, memory, and possibility-but growing up in the city means learning when to hold on and when to let go. Jrue Hayes lives by duty. Saige McDaniels lives out loud. Naomi Cross lives quietly-but deeply. Best friends since their college days at Dillard, they now stand at the edge of adulthood where careers are blooming, love feels unfinished, and life doesn't wait for certainty. As the city moves around them, each woman must confront what she wants, what she fears, and what she's willing to choose-almost, always, and anyway. A soulful, character-driven story about Black womanhood, friendship, and finding your rhythm when the timing isn't perfect.

My name is kyle loraine De Vera, and I am eighteen years old. This story is about my first love-the kind of love that arrives quietly, stays deeply, and leaves marks you carry long after it's gone. It's about growing up, holding on, and learning what it means to love someone more than you love yourself. This is not a perfect love story, and I am not writing it to be one. I am writing it because some stories deserve to be told, even if they end in silence. This story holds memories of laughter, quiet moments, small sacrifices, and emotions I didn't know how to name back then. It is about the girl I was when I loved for the first time, and the person I became after learning how to live with the absence of that love. Some parts may hurt, some parts may feel warm, but all of it is real. This is my story. This is our story.

Some stories aren't about love found. They're about timing missed. Meghna is observant, introverted, and quietly sharp - the kind of girl people underestimate because she doesn't demand attention. She believes in competence over charm, silence over spectacle, and power that doesn't need permission. Ved exists slightly detached from the world around him - serious, indifferent, lost inside his own thoughts. He isn't cruel or cold, just unavailable in ways that don't announce themselves. They move through the same spaces. Attend the same events. Stand close enough to be noticed. But noticing requires intention. Almost Seen is a slow, melancholic college story about proximity without connection, moments that pass without meaning, and people who never quite meet each other at the right time. Because some love stories don't break hearts. They simply never begin.

I never meant to fall for her. But somewhere between the inside jokes, shared rides home, and the quiet moments we tried to ignore... I did. Zyna wasn't just a girl I saw in hallways-she became the warmth I kept looking for, even when things got messy, even when misunderstandings pulled us apart, even when choosing her felt complicated. This is the story of how we almost fell apart, almost walked away, almost stayed stranger- and somehow, we still found our way back to each other. This isn't a perfect love story. It's just ours-almost, always.

Those Letters...

Almost is the cruelest word. They were almost something. But fear got in the way. Seraphina Vale Montclair was ready to fall-open-hearted, terrified, but willing. Callista Rue Mercier wasn't. The idea of being seen too deeply, of feeling too much, made her run before anything could begin. They talked. Then they cut the thread. Now, they walk the same halls at Cebu Normal University Main Campus, pretending like nothing ever happened. They pass each other at the canteen, cross paths in the CTE building, lock eyes for half a second at CTE grounds, ASAB, ACAS, ILS, Tandang Sora, TAC, IKC, even on the open CNU grounds-always too close, never close enough. Seraphina still holds onto the fragments. She tries to reconnect-softly, carefully-like she's knocking on a door that was never fully shut. But Callista keeps it locked. She pretends she doesn't feel it. Doesn't remember. Doesn't miss her. Even when she does. But the line was drawn. And neither of them dared to cross it.

"For Us, Not Me" is a poignant story about Aerin Elise Navarro, a soft-hearted girl who repeatedly sacrifices her own happiness for Kael Riven Alcaraz, an ambitious boy torn between success and the one person who truly believed in him. Through years of "almosts" and silent sacrifices, Aerin waits as Kael prioritizes his career abroad, until his emotional distance finally breaks her heart. When Aerin finally walks away to rebuild herself, Kael returns-successful, stable, and ready to choose her. But Aerin is no longer the girl who would wait. This is a story about the pain of being someone's "almost," the journey of reclaiming self-worth, and the bittersweet truth that sometimes, finding your own timing means letting go of a love that was never truly "for us." It's a relatable tale of love vs. career, second chances, and the ultimate power of choosing yourself.

This isn't a story about falling in love for the first time. It's about what happens after. Kaye Alcaraz thought she had already closed that chapter of her life, the one that had Ali Acosta in it. Years ago, she walked away, leaving behind a relationship too complicated to keep, too painful to stay in. Now, she swears she's fine. She keeps her distance, keeps her guard up, keeps pretending she's over it. But fate has other plans. One unexpected project, one shared classroom, one circle of friends that never changed. suddenly, the boy she's been avoiding is back in her orbit. Ali, who now has a girlfriend. Ali, who still knows exactly how to get under her skin. Ali, who once held her heart. They're not the same people anymore. They've hurt, they've grown, they've learned to live apart. But what if crossing paths again means reopening old wounds? What if moving on wasn't the same as letting go? Because sometimes, the hardest part isn't loving someone. It's facing the truth that you never really stopped.
