This is a short story that I wrote in April 2014 for a school assignment. It was for English Studies, and I had to write a 1000 words or less short story on a topic of my choice. I chose to write about a storm, which is actually a metaphor for something else. Read it to find out.
My teacher entered my story into a competition and as a result, it has been short-listed for the SAETA Young Writers' Award.
I'm really proud of myself for achieving this, and I'd just like to share this with you all.

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 WISH OF HER
She rubbed her cheeks bashfully and asked, "Is there something on my face?" I leaned a little closer and whispered softly, "Yes... there was something. I was just looking at the beautiful creation of God... wondering why I can never get enough of it." ________________________________ Then he slowly leaned closer, his warm breath brushing near my ear. "Most people set their passwords as the name of their favorite person... or someone close to their heart." My pulse skipped instantly. "That means I'm close to your heart... right, Manisha?" My throat went dry. "Nothing like that," I said quickly. "I... I just kept it randomly." ________________________________ Manisha whispered, "You are my star, Ajay... the one who brings light when darkness surrounds me." Ajay whispered , "And you are my night sky, Manisha... the one who holds my star steady and teaches it how to shine without burning." ________________________________ Manisha -An overthinker with a gentle heart. Calm, quiet, and shy. She finds peace in music, speaks more through melodies than words, and feels deeply even when she says little. Silence is her comfort, and softness is her strength. Ajay Kumar -Bold and strong, sharp-minded and intelligent. His confidence commands space, but his anger often storms within him. He faces the world head-on, protecting fiercely, feeling intensely, sometimes burning too bright. ♡(> ਊ <)♡ Jump into a tale of love where loyalty speaks louder than words, and hearts choose each other every time. ☄️Night sky & star☄️ ♡(˃͈ દ ˂͈ ༶ )Complete

2019 Writing Scrapbook Part 2
DISCLAIMER: Some of the works within here will contain photos. All photos or drawings were created by me or were given access to me, and they are all either photos of the events off which the writing itself is based, or they were created to represent the event that was discussed. Most of my writing is deeply personal to me and some of them have roots in real situations in my life, while others are fictitious and SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN LITERALLY. My previous writing scrapbook was filled to the brim with my thoughts put down to words, so now it's time to finish off the year with a new edition of my writing scrapbook. This year my emotions have gone awry, so I've been unable to put away my pen and paper. This will contain various snippets of my writing, such as poetry, short stories, excerpts, quotes, vents, and other mediums.Complete
You And Me, Forevermore
"He was the definition of what you call bad, he smoked, he broke the law, he drove too fast for his own good.He didn't care because no one taught him how to. But when it came to her, he wanted to be the best man.He couldn't bare the thought of her being hurt by him...or by anyone else. He would kill to protect her, the girl who cared about someone as worthless as him in all her perfection". "Perfection... that's what she's always been. Not even her scars could steal the hope in her eyes. She waited for someone. And when she met him, she couldn't help what she felt. She fell hard for him. And so did her saviour. The girl who had a little too much heart to go around. She never thought herself of being worthy of his love. And she'd go to hell and back for the one who loved her fiercely".Complete
