A little bit...less ordinary!?

One moment, I was just another nobody in a car accident.
The next, I woke up in a hospital bed...hearing voices.
Not the creepy kind. Not hallucinations.
Real voices. Thoughts that didn't belong to me.
Turns out, I can hear what people are thinking.
Yeah-mind reading. Telepathy. Whatever you want to call it.
Suddenly, boring, average me wasn't so ordinary anymore.
High school drama? Easy.
Crushes? Complicated.
Secrets? Way too many.
High school isn't about fitting in-it's about staying sane.
Because the more I listen, the more I realize... some minds aren't meant to be heard.
And the voices? They aren't the only thing following me.
Powers like this? They come with a price.
And I'm starting to think the voices in my head aren't the worst part.
Something darker is coming.
And time might be the only thing that reveals what I've really woken up to.

Love Misunderstood
I only ever met one man I'd call truly noble. He was a man who was misunderstood and worthy of the world, yet everyone saw him differently. That was until I saw his true colours. The more I caught his eye the more he noticed me. We would pass each other, I would always stare a little longer at his back, wondering his story. People used to move out of the hallways if they saw him approaching whereas people would come and talk to me. He kept to himself, I was never alone, he had no friends, I was friends with everyone, I never saw him talk to anyone I spoke to many. we were polar opposites. At least that's what I thought until that day in the library, that is where I will start this story. Everyone is different, I hate the word "different", I much prefer the word unique. Unique is the only way to describe him. This is not just a story about love, it is about helping two souls who act differently but are the same on the inside, it shows the messy parts that aren't shown in movies, the tragedy, and the comedy but most of all the sizzling romance between two broken people who became one. Who is this story about? Caden James. But this is not just his story, It is ours.Complete
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
The Shadow of Comparison
"Growing up in someone else's shadow taught me one thing: finding myself was the hardest-and most beautiful-journey of all." School was supposed to be easy-a place to learn, laugh, and grow. But for her, it quickly became anything but simple. 🌿 Everyone around her seemed brighter, bolder, better. Every whispered compliment, every small success she didn't have, made her question herself. Slowly, the shadow of comparison began to follow her everywhere. Then college arrived-bigger, more dazzling, and full of surprises she never saw coming. Friendships that challenged her, choices that tested her, and moments that made her heart ache in ways she didn't expect. Could she navigate this new world without losing herself? From quiet school corridors to late-night reflections, from self-doubt to self-discovery, this story is about growing up, facing unexpected twists, and finding the courage to step out of the shadows. If you loved "The Goodbye We Never Said," you'll recognize the familiar struggles and heartfelt moments-and maybe even find yourself rooting for her as she learns to shine in her own light.Complete
█ █ █ █ Girls Tell No Tales
Forget the queen bee. Forget the new girl. I'm...neither. Let's say just someone who knows too much for her own good. People like me were usually typecast as background characters. Oh but would you look at that, now I'm the one telling the story! You already know how these things usually go. An elite school full of rich kids. One glorified clique that runs everything and in this academy, that's the Literature Club. Oh wait, don't let the name fool you. They haven't touched a novel in years, but they do write people off like it's a sport. Seven girls, all so perfect on paper yet rotten underneath. Everyone wanted to be them, or at least used to. Because this semester, they are the trending topic for all the wrong reasons. One by one, its members are dropping like flies. They say it was murder, while others would argue this was a ghost story. But you know what? Call it whatever helps you sleep at night. All I know is that someone remembers what they did. Someone hasn't forgiven. And someone might just be turning the page. So here I am, your local go-to for the latest hot tea. Nothing more than merely your correspondent for their downfall, watching an empire burn from the sidelines. Because revenge isn't just a dish best served cold. It's a story, and every story needs a killer ending. So keep your friends close, and the skeletons in your closet closer. Because trust me, darlings when I say that you wouldn't want to be them. 💋Complete
A Bird's Eye View: The Villain and the Hero's Love Affair
You're just a little birdie, minding your own business-flying around, dodging falling leaves, trying not to get too involved in the messes of the city below. But, oh, the drama! The masked hero and the brooding villain you've been watching for months-yeah, those two? They have a lot of secrets. The hero's perfect, obviously, saving the world and all that. But the villain? Oh, dear. By day, they wear a mask of evil and power, but you've seen what happens when the cape comes off. There's some serious darkness lurking in their private life-self-loathing, quiet pain, and way too many late-night mood swings. But don't worry, the villain's got it under control... or so they think. You thought their love story was one of those sweet "enemies-to-lovers" kind of deals, until you saw the truth from way up here. It's a mess. Betrayal. Anger. Love. Secret identities. A fight that's way more personal than you ever imagined. But hey, that's not your problem, right? You're just a bird. Except, well... Maybe you care. Maybe you're the one who's been flying around, wondering if their messy, secret love story will ever have a happy ending-or if one of them will end up on the wrong side of the city's skyscraper (literally). From your vantage point, it's a little too close for comfort, but hey-no one ever said love was easy, even for villains and heroes. Just try not to get caught in the crossfire, okay?

Marked By Secrets
I thought I knew her. Alice. My friend. But now... I'm not so sure. There were cracks I never saw, whispers I chose to ignore. Her death wasn't just tragic-it was a question I can't stop asking: Why? Everyone has their stories-rumors wrapped in pity or blame-but none of them fit. The truth hides in shadows, in secrets I'm just beginning to uncover. I'm haunted not only by what happened, but by what I missed. By what I refused to see. And the deeper I look, the darker it gets. Because sometimes the person you thought you knew... Is the last one you should've
