Zarina is a hardworking- yet a naive student who wants to learn whatever life has to offer. She returns from a summer break, becoming a senior in high school. Ace is known as the quiet guy who doesn't seem to care much about anything. Although, he's popular because of his looks and he's the type to get into fights. Ever since Zarina got involved with Ace, she saw something she should've never seen.

(The second installment in the 'My Life' series. Can be read alone) Meet John Ace, the hot shot at campus. With his killer looks, charming personality, and great wealth, he's got it all. Girls fall for him left and right, but too bad he's never serious. But what happens when one night at a party changes his views on Amanda forever? Problem is Amanda is his little sister's best friend. Throw in a jealous ex, a sweetie with a dark secret, a shy twin, an unwanted past, and some drama. What do you get? A hot mess.
