Expectation Stories

13+ - Book cover was made with help of Canva Ai - Lorrain runs a small garage on the edge of legality, fixing and improving cars by day and preparing them for illegal street races by night. Also working with her sister, Beatrice, a loud, fearless, and adored racer who struggles with the expectations of her fans. Together with their clique, they build their lives around racing and loyalty. One day Beatrice can no longer race, and an old decision is forced back onto the table, one that brings up a past that was never meant to resurface. Racing isn't just dangerous; it's addictive. Somewhere between engines and empty streets, connections grow where they shouldn't, and feelings begin to turn tension into something harder to ignore. Between late nights, fast money, and adrenaline, the group begins to fracture in quiet ways. Because in a world built on speed, it's not the crashes that do the damage; it's what happens before them.

Greetings dear readers! This is my first ever poems book. And um I wrote these all based on my personal experiences. As you may journey through chapters of this book based on my life and events throughout. A little sprinkle of the chapters are fictional but nearly all are non-fiction straight from reality. Hopefully you will love this journey with me. Few of these poems are dedicated to my friends or based on their experiences/point of view. Most poems may contain heartbreak or sad feelings but still the majority of the poems are about love, happiness and positivity. I am so glad that I am in a better place now, looking back on my life just a while ago I was not the person I am today. With the help of people I love the most I have overcome everything I needed to dodge. If you are going through something difficult in life, please share it with someone whom you trust more than anything. Remember being happy & positive is what matters the most truly. Love Y'all So Much. With Love, S.

WIP

This story is about a girl who has always felt trapped by expectations, insecurities, and the weight of being the "eldest" in a world that barely notices her. It's about learning to navigate the cage of self-doubt, discovering the quiet strength inside, and finding the courage to spread her wings, finally. A lot of this stuff is overexaggerated, so.... :)

⭐ DESCRIPTION Everyone called him the perfect son - brilliant, gentle, disciplined, the child every parent prayed for. But perfection can hide things... and his older sister was the only one who ever saw the shadows behind his smile. After one night changes their family forever, she begins to piece together the truth he carried alone - the pressure, the secrets, and the silent battles no one noticed until it was too late. Now, as the world continues to praise him, she faces a painful reality: You can live with someone every day and still not know their story. And sometimes, the "perfect" child is the one hurting the most. In a family built on expectations, love, and buried truths, she must uncover what really happened to the brother everyone thought they knew.

In a quiet town in Cavite, two lives move in parallel beneath the same pale dawn. Euquillia Waverley "Quila" McHale, 22, wakes before sunrise to hold together a family slowly unraveling: a father who can no longer walk, a mother who spends to feel alive, and siblings chasing dreams too fragile to fund. She works, she endures, she survives, and somewhere between exhaustion and grace, she sketches her way back to herself. Colt Kjin Caswell, 22, a mind far beyond his years, jogs through the same streets each morning, chasing thoughts instead of fortune. His days revolve around quiet observation, his nights around creation, until one morning, by the gate of EPZA, he meets a girl who reminds him what being human truly means. Neither speaks of destiny, but both feel its pulse. Their worlds, built from struggle and solitude, begin to blur at the edges where logic meets longing, and every breath feels like the start of something infinite. A story about the kind of love that never asks, never demands, and only gives. Because sometimes, the most powerful love is the one that doesn't need to be spoken to be heard.

Nurturing Culture This writing attaches various possibilities and probabilities to an event in the future when the generation of humans who reign/control today's world do not have good competence, cognition and emotional stability in setting boundaries, respecting and appreciating. The presence of traumatic personal experiences and several clauses related to culture that have been passed down from previous generations, of course, can support the importance of discussing this theme.

Marinette Dupain-Cheng never expected her life to feel this normal again. After years spent protecting Paris, defeating an akuma army, and finally bringing down Gabriel Agreste's reign of terror, she thought peace would feel strange. But in a small sunlit apartment overlooking the Seine, peace feels a lot like waking up tangled in soft sheets, sharing coffee with the boy she once only dreamed of, and sketching designs on the balcony while he practices photo poses to make her laugh.

Modeling still follows him, but now it's on his terms - new agencies, new opportunities, and a life built with someone who sees him beyond the spotlight.

Together, they face critics, old expectations, lingering trauma, and the strange ache of learning to grow as individuals while building a shared life.

Their greatest battle now? Learning how to love each other in a world where they finally have the freedom to live in.
