Youth Stories

At St. Lourdes Academy, two students are known as the brightest minds of their generation. Luca Villanueva, the school's mathematics wizard, can solve impossible equations faster than anyone else. Logical, disciplined, and competitive, he believes every problem has a solution. Lala Reyes, the science genius, is equally brilliant. Curious, creative, and fearless, she dominates every science competition she enters. She also has a strange obsession with matcha and wasabi-flavored food. The problem? Luca absolutely hates matcha and wasabi. And he dislikes Lala almost as much. Their rivalry becomes legendary throughout the academy as they compete for the title of top student. Every contest turns into a battle of intelligence and pride. But when circumstances force them to work together for a prestigious national academic competition, they slowly discover that behind the arguments and competition are two lonely teenagers carrying enormous expectations. As friendship begins to replace rivalry, feelings neither of them expected start to grow. Can mathematics and science finally find a common formula for love? Or will their stubborn hearts remain unsolved?

🏆 2nd place in the best protagonist category at the Lavender Jade Mini awards.(My very first contest, but more awards will be added if I rack up anymore) Synopsis. Sixteen-year-old Rem Kotsuki only wants one thing: to spend the rest of his high school life in peace. No clubs. No drama. No unnecessary human interaction. Just a quiet desk by the window, a reliable coffee vending machine, and the kind of life that requires absolutely zero effort to maintain. It lasts approximately three days. Enrolling at Seiren High was supposed to be the easy part. Instead: his childhood friend Tamaki is now the school's untouchable idol. His long-lost sister resurfaces with a bright smile and an agenda he can't quite read. His homeroom teacher has decided he's an experiment worth running. And somehow, despite his best efforts, he has acquired a friend. --- "Isn't it weird how you always try to avoid socialising?" "Not at all. It is precisely because I'm a background character that I must avoid such troublesome scenarios." "Huh? That just makes it ten times worse, doesn't it?" --- Hidden beneath Rem's lazy smile and indifference is a boy running from his own talent, his past, and the quiet conviction that the people around him are better off without him in the spotlight. Seiren High disagrees. Forced into the role of class representative beside the girl he'd chosen to watch from a distance, handed a Spring Festival to organize from scratch, and surrounded by people who are entirely too perceptive for their own good, Rem finds himself doing the one thing he swore to avoid: Getting involved.

Aaniya stepped closer, her hand pressing over his heart, her lips barely above a whisper "Because I was me... and your lover... every second I was with you," she said, her words a mixture of truth, fire, and regret. "You should find someone of your status... not a simple, ordinary orphan doctor," he said quietly, his voice steady but his eyes betraying the storm inside. Aaniya stepped closer, her heels echoing softly against the marble floor, a dangerous smile curving her lips. "No one can match your status, muffin," she whispered, her gaze locking into his. "And my choice... is never ordinary." Her fingers brushed his jaw, tilting his face toward her. "Muffin," she breathed, her tone melting between challenge and confession,"I am yours... and you are mine. And I will do anything to make sure the world knows it. ""You kept me in the dark for six months, Aaniya," Ishaan said, his voice breaking as he looked at her one last time. "I can't trust you anymore... and I don't love you. We're no more friends." He turned away before the tremor in his voice could betray the ache in his chest. Aaniya didn't move. She just smiled softly, painfully as her heart bled behind that calm face. "But I do, muffin," she whispered. He froze at the door, his throat tightening, tears burning behind his eyes. He swallowed hard... and walked away. And for the first time, the woman who never lost a case, lost the only heart she ever wanted to win. © 2025 Kaashi Kaashi. All rights reserved.

It all started with a random eye contact in a school corridor. Rishika didn't think much of it at first. After all, he was just another senior. But slowly, those small moments started becoming unforgettable. A glance across the corridor. Friends screaming over "nothing." Accidental touches in crowded hallways. And a boy who barely talks to girls somehow noticing her again and again. Reyansh is calm, unreadable and impossible to understand, while Rishika is chaotic, expressive and constantly surrounded by drama created by her own friends. Between school life, endless teasing, emotional confusion and moments that make hearts race for absolutely no reason, this story follows two people slowly getting pulled into something neither of them expected. A realistic school romance with slow-burn tension, comedy, chaos and teenage emotions.

Mereka tidak pernah mencari satu sama lain. Mereka hanya bertemu, berkenalan, lalu entah sejak kapan menjadi "kita." Dea, Zhiya, Saira, Hanin, Ara, dan Yelin. Enam orang dengan karakter, latar belakang, dan kehidupan yang berbeda. Berawal dari perkenalan sederhana, mereka perlahan menemukan tawa, cerita, kekacauan, serta kenyamanan yang membuat kebersamaan terasa seperti sesuatu yang seharusnya memang terjadi. Namun, tidak semua hal tentang mereka sesederhana kelihatannya. Ada cerita yang sengaja disimpan. Ada masa lalu yang tidak pernah dibicarakan. Ada luka yang memilih diam. Dan mungkin, persahabatan bukan hanya tentang bagaimana enam orang saling menemukan- "Tetapi tentang apa yang akan mereka temukan ketika mulai mengenal satu sama lain lebih dalam. Six people. Different stories. One us."

A boy who thinks a little too much. He searches for a thousand meanings behind every word, every situation, and every little change in people's behavior. His overthinking slowly takes away the things that matter most to him-his love, his closest friends, and even many precious moments of his own life. Many of the things he believed were real were actually stories created by his own mind. And while chasing those stories, he ends up hurting himself in ways he never imagined. Eventually, his life becomes a complete mess. But that's not where his story ends. The very overthinking that once made him lose everything slowly teaches him how to think differently. It teaches him to understand his mistakes, understand people, and rebuild his life from the pieces he has left. In the end, he realizes- Thinking too much isn't always a curse. Sometimes, hidden within the darkness of our own minds lies the greatest answer to our lives. This isn't just the story of an overthinker. It's the story of someone who once lost himself to his own thoughts-only to turn those very thoughts into his greatest strength and find his way back to life.
