Labeled In a world where every citizen is assigned a single personality label at birth, society thrives on order, predictability, and control. But for fifteen-year-old Violet Hale, the youngest Triform ever recorded, those rules don't apply. As one of the rare 3% born with not one, but three distinct personalities-each with its own voice, desires, and fears-Violet is celebrated as a symbol of hope and power. The government admires Triforms like her, placing them on pedestals and subjecting them to intense scrutiny. Yet beneath the praise lies pressure so immense it threatens to tear Violet apart. Struggling to balance her Peacemaker, Survivor, and Firebrand selves, she finds unexpected support in Kai, a mysterious older Triform with secrets of his own, and a tight-knit group of friends who share the same rare gift. Together, they must navigate the elite halls of the Triform Integration Center, uncover the true cost of their privilege, and challenge a system that demands perfection-and punishes those who don't comply. Labeled is a gripping young adult dystopian novel about identity, freedom, and the courage it takes to embrace every part of yourself-even the pieces that don't fit.

In the nation's sprawling Capital City, where power is a currency and corruption paves the streets in gold, Lorenzo 'Enzo' Velasco lives a prince's life. As the son of a notoriously corrupt congressman, his future is set, his comfort guaranteed by money stolen from the very people his father swore to serve. But the gilded cage shatters when a preventable tragedy, a landslide born from his father's greed, claims the one person he truly loves: his idealistic sister, Sofia. Haunted by guilt and shattered by the truth, Enzo does the unthinkable. He turns his back on the Velasco empire, sheds his name like a borrowed coat, and vanishes. With only the cash in his pocket and a new identity, he journeys to the forgotten, mud scarred mountains of a remote province, the very community his family destroyed. There, among the victims of his family's crimes, he seeks a punishing penance, not in prayer, but in sweat, callouses, and the back breaking work of rebuilding what was lost. But in a town where the name 'Velasco' is a curse, anonymity is a fragile shield. As he fights to earn the trust of the resilient locals, he must confront the ghosts of his past and the escalating threat of his powerful father, who will stop at nothing to silence the truth. Can a son truly wash his hands of his father's sins? And in trying to save a community, can he redeem the one thing he has left, a borrowed name?

This is a creative story I wrote in year 10 in high school. It's about a flood that happened during school and while most kids were evacuated early and safely she had to walk through it. All the while the kids who come from families with money get to go in cars or buses and they make fun of her for having to walk instead of catching the bus, even though they don't know anything about her or what she's going through or why she's walking.
