She was fine on her own.

But maybe she didn't want to be fine anymore.

Maybe she wanted to feel alive.

**

Laila Khare: a senior in high school with a pretty good life albeit it lacked any emotion and excitement. She was about to learn how tough life could really get for some people: mental health struggles, immigration issues, genetic differences, and loss were just some of life's many problems. 

And then she ran into Jai Patel: the infuriatingly observant and hot Gujju boy who just moved in down the street.  Laila was about to see just how much color she was lacking in her life before him.

Jai was entitled to his own secrets and struggles, however big or small they may be. But maybe he didn't want to keep secrets anymore. Maybe he wanted to show everyone all of his perfect, stunning flaws.

Maybe he just needed someone to trust. Something insignificant to one person could be someone else's whole existence.

He sure as hell wasn't perfect, but Laila didn't need perfect.

She just needed him to open her eyes to all of colors of life, even when he had trouble seeing them himself.

"Rudra Malhotra naam toh suna hoga ?" Rudra is the epitome of charisma-outgoing, charming, and unabashedly playful. He has an infectious laugh and a quick wit that makes him the life of the party. His flirty nature often leads to playful banter and spontaneous adventures. Despite his carefree attitude, there is an underlying complexity to his personality; his charm often masks an inherent loneliness stemming from unresolved heartbreak. His laughter is often a façade to cover the pain of his past. "Never trust a man with desire" Ruhanika Mehra is short-tempered and strong-headed, not afraid to speak her mind and stand up for herself. She is determined and driven, always wanting to achieve her goals and dreams. However, she also has a soft side to her, especially when it comes to her loved ones. She can be fiercely protective and caring towards them. ""Rooh!" The silence was deafening. No response, no movement. I snapped open my eyes, scanning the room frantically. That's when I saw it - the bloodstain on the bed sheet. My mind reeled as memories of last night flooded back. "Rudra, make me yours." Ruhanika's whispered plea echoed in my mind. "You complete me, Rooh." My own words haunted me. I clutched my head, feeling like I was losing my grip on reality. Where was she? I spun around, my gaze locking onto the dressing table mirror. A note was stuck to the glass. I snatched it, my hands trembling. "We can't be together." Ruhanika. I stared blankly at the note, my mind reeling. Why would Ruhanika leave without a word? What will happen when a girl who never believed in love and a boy who always craved for true love will collide with each other in such circumstances which forced them hate each other at first sight but still they can't deny the attraction,lust and desperation towards each other ?

| What he considered divine felt like a sin to her. | An Indian Teenfic | Featured on @AmbassadorsIN Teen-fiction 2024 | Featured on @RomanceINDIA 's 'Ishq Vishq Pyar Vyar' 2024 | Opposites attract, yeah, we get it. But what about people with similar minds but different morals and priorities? With conflicting beliefs and contrasting perspectives, wasn't it just impossible for them to have a home in this street, called 'love'? And to turn impossible into possible, one has to make a lot of sacrifices. Perhaps, adding a pinch of unfairness would help as well. *********************** Manasvi Mehta knew she was a pathetic mess. With her friends count being zero, her communication skills in negative, her anxiety and impulsiveness reaching its peak, and her sensitive heart leaking tears at the slightest harm to humanity. . .she knew she was not the kind to survive. She though it was a miracle that Bhavuk Thakur developed a liking to her. He seemed to appreciate every inch and depth of her. His compliments made her heart flutter; levitate her off the ground. For the tiniest time period, she thought she wasn't such a burden on Earth after all. She realised he was too good for her. He was better without her; confident and carefree. And for that, she leaves him. But he. . .well, let's just say that he had forgotten how to live without her. [Trending #1 in India as of November 2024]

It may feel good to be pretty, but the problem with being beautiful is that there are thousands of people who look like you. Ugliness, however, is unique. ------------------- One girl, a walking-talking example of contradictions -- ambitious but naive, kind but blunt, social but awkward -- is living in perhaps the most competitive society in this world. She has a dream, a fairly conventional and acceptable dream, one which every parent would approve of. Unfortunately, millions of others share this dream, and in order to fulfill hers, she has to eliminate her competition, literally. Throw in a fair share of drama. Friends and family, crushes and exes, decisions and choices, and the life story of an Indian teenager would be complete. ---------------------- The last few years of school are the most memorable; grades, stress and career mixed with friends, fun and dreams. But most of the time when we are planning our awesome candid picture-perfect life, we end up crossing the 'i's and dotting the 't's. ------------------------------------ COMPLETED ON JULY 14, 2018 Featured in the teen fiction reading list of Wattpad India!

"Not a typical High School romance because life isn't cliché." Trisha was a fifteen year old, studious girl but this didn't make her a sincere one. She had real social issues, it was difficult for her to even begin a conversation, this didn't mean that she didn't want to talk to anyone, she just couldn't. Surrounded by acquaintances, she had no real friends. Her crush, Jai, didn't even know that she existed! Trisha's life is surely going to turn around in a single year. By the end of it, she'll have friends, people who she can trust, confidence, love, an understanding of the world. But most importantly, she'll realise that you don't need to be popular to be happy. A low profile at high school is much like it. This wouldn't have been possible without a journey worth sharing and worth knowing, the journey of Trisha. Because, we don't just change unharmed. We have to get hurt before we can repair ourselves, and that's how we get better. Higest Ranking #164 in Teen Fiction (May 24th, 2018)
