By the age of sixteen, Mira already knew the rules of life. Be kind and in return, you receive kindness.
Mira's life is pretty simple. She lives in a flat, has a happy family with one little brother, goes to school, has friends, does her chores, homework. All these things are checked on the "Simple Life" list which she intends on staying loyal to.
Though one's life can't remain perfect for long - that's simply against it's nature. As good things happen to everyone; so do bad. Mira's life was a great example for this.
As one thing goes by, so do many more after it and they all became her biggest challenge. Mira had no one to learn from so the best she could do is cope with her feelings and hide them from the cruel world.
Though as there are rainy days, so are sunny - and after a long thunderstorm Mira comes across her first peaceful and sunny day in a long time. His name was Philip Tikhvinsky.

The book is not finished and I've taken a serious break, now publishing to seek further inspiration based on how well it fares.

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.

"Why?" ---------------×---------×----------------- What begins as a high school crush spirals into a crisis that shatters everything Sara thought she knew-about love, loyalty, and herself. Seventeen-year-old Sara Davis struggles with self-worth and confidence. She's reserved, self-critical, and constantly battling the voice in her head that says she's not enough. Her best friend Heather, bold and unshakable, is her anchor-the one person who sees the light in her and pushes her toward it. Then there's Elijah Garcia-smart, athletic, wealthy, and effortlessly magnetic. For as long as Sara can remember, he's been the definition of perfect. A silent fantasy. A distant dream. Encouraged by Heather, Sara finally pursues her feelings, and for a moment, it feels like she's living her own fairytale. But beneath the glittering surface lies a darker truth. As hearts break, jealousy festers, and betrayal seeps into every corner of her life, Sara finds herself unraveling. Secrets long buried rise to the surface, threatening to destroy everything she believes in. This is not just a story about falling in love. It's about falling apart-and the fight to piece yourself back together. TRIGGER WARNINGS: Depression, self-harm, abandonment, suicide, cursing, and other mature themes. [COMPLETED]Complete
It Wasn't Love ✔️
"Fuck." He whispers into my neck, sending a thrill of excitement through my body. His lips still smothered kisses over my neck and his hands roamed my body, starting at my chest, going down to my stomach. Caressing my soft skin, his thumb trailed circles on my groin before slightly slipping into the waistband of my jeans. My breath catches in my throat as I pull at the hoodie that covered his chiselled body. Understanding, Jacob pulls it off in one swift movement before attaching his lips back on my neck. Sucking and biting it before flicking his tongue over the sore spot. A quiet moan leaves my mouth and I clasp my hand over it, denying any noise to escape. "You drive me fucking crazy, Aria." ---------------------------- Aria Bailey finds it hard to fit in. Her parents are always busy and never have time for her. She lives alone at her family home and has top grades in all of her classes. But being a 17 year old friendless nerd comes with its disadvantages.
