☕︎ Welcome to Coffee & Chapters Contests A cozy little café built for hidden gems, growing writers, emotionally damaging stories, and chapters written at 2 AM instead of sleeping like a normal human bean. Wattpad's algorithm can be cruel sometimes, and many beautiful stories never get the attention they deserve. This book exists to create a small space where writers can share their work, discover new stories, support one another, and maybe find readers who stay till the end. From blurbs, opening lines, aesthetics, and dialogue to plots, characters, and drafts still hiding in your notes app, different themed contests will be hosted here from time to time, each with its own little spotlight. ──── ୨୧ ──── ☕︎ Current Contest Contest #1: The First Sip Best Blurb • Best Opening Line • Best Chapter One Status: Submissions CLOSED.

"Love is the opus of fallacies and beauty" Smryna Roy is everything a teenager shouldn't be-eccentric, harsh, and yet, she has soft edges. She didn't think that moving into a new school would be hard-how bad could it be, after all? She also didn't think much about the bus rides she shared with a single person of her age. Arin Vaidya is everything a teenager should be-sporty, cocky, strange in a charismatic manner, and yet, he has a soft, unguarded surface beneath. He didn't mind changing schools-it would be an adventure. However, he was quite disappointed when he saw his bus mates: an eccentric girl, and a few unremarkable kids. He didn't think much of it. They never planned to become friends-really, they planned never to talk at all. But boredom is said to be the mother of procreation. Slowly, but surely, a strange bond bloomed between them. Smryna never anticipated that this year, she would get a boyfriend. This year, she would get her heart broken. Arin never thought he would enjoy the company of a certain girl, but when he loses her, something feels unmistakably wrong.
