There was little Zayn didn't know for his age except the taste of coming second. Studious yet athletic, scathing yet flippant, there was little in him which made Ayesha like him.
After all, she had always been at the receiving end of most of his taunts and could never pip him till date in academics.
But what happens when a lucrative "winner takes all" scholarship pops up?
Will Ayesha finally be able to show Zayn his rightful place?
Or, will the master of mischief emerge victorious again?
Read to find out.
(:


SPOILER: This ain't a romantic or love story. It's a story about two fierce competitors.

Cupid never had a chance in their messy, parental-restricted love story Karishma Jha, a twenty-one-year-old recent graduate with the world at her feet if only she chose to face it. Plagued with the worries of the future and yet healing from the scars of her past, she was yet to pay any heed to the present. She was the queen of the world of What-ifs What if I never get a job? What if I never do anything worthwhile? What if I am not here tomorrow? What if someone new moves next door? Still struggling to live one day at a time, she is hit with yet another surprise: a new neighbor, Rishabh Mehta. His arrival gives her the opportunity to take a step out of her cocooned world, to do something daring for once in her sheltered life. What if a girl with perpetually cold feet chooses to befriend a boy who lives like there is no tomorrow? When Rishabh Mehta moved to his aunt's place in Bangalore, the last thing he expected was to deal with the girl next door. Shrew, grump, ornery, he knew the many nicknames of her, except her real name. She proved true to her description when, one night, she cuts off the wire of his music system in the middle of a raging party. That was his first impression of hers. He also never expected her unrelenting efforts to befriend him. When he finally gives in, the possibility of tomorrow increases with every shared laughter and stolen glance. Will their love survive self-imposed obstacles, helicopter parents, and the two-foot gap between their balconies? Or, will it remain a fond memory to smile upon when a day gets a bit more difficult than the rest? TRIGGER WARNING: Though this story is mostly a feel-good rom-com, it does address certain heavy topics like illness, suicide attempts, and domestic violence.

NOW AVAILABLE ON AMAZON!!! Chapters 1-10 are available here!! In the land of Evanyl, there are only two classes: The rich and the poor, the upper and lower class, the posh and the peasants. There is no in between. The only ways you achieve either status is by birth or winning a brutal competition that will make the winner rich beyond his wildest dreams. The fights, however, are to the death, and the poor are forced to compete once every five years for the rich's amusement. The creator of this competition has passed, leaving his legacy to his only heir. This year's tournament will promise to have even more carnage and gore since Vyron Tamminalin is now in charge. He's more blood thirsty and vicious than his father and adds some twists to the rules of the competition. Vyron has two daughters, Xera and Xori. Xera is the eldest and has the same cruel spirit of her father, but Xori is kind hearted and forced to watch every year as countless innocent people die just to entertain the wealthy. If she could ever find a way to leave this place or shut the competition down, she would in a heartbeat. Zakyrik Ruequal was the only child of his parents, who passed a few years back. His father was forced to compete and died within the third round, then his mother passed a year later from a broken heart. Zakyrik had to take over the work his father did to pay the greedy landlord off where he would not be kicked out of his family home. He hates the competition and everything it stands for. He also detests fighting and yearns for a peaceful life away from Evanyl. This year though, as his luck would have it, he just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and was hand picked to compete. Zakyrik plans to do everything he can to escape, and if that's not an option then he's going to be forced to fight for a prize he never wanted in the first place.

Money. Power. Influence. For Olivia and Cyrus Hurts, these were as common as the air they breathed. Born into one of the wealthiest families in the country, their lives had been carefully paved with privilege. Their parents owned Hurts University, a prestigious institution renowned for its exclusivity and near-impossible scholarship opportunities. It was a school built on wealth and legacy, a place where the elite gathered, and those without status were merely tolerated-if they managed to get in at all. Olivia Hurts, the younger of the two, was known for her beauty, charm, and unexpected humility. Unlike the social circle she belonged to, Olivia treated people with kindness and respect rare quality in her world. She was a cheerleader, admired by many but misunderstood by most. Her friends, however, were the epitome of spoiled privileged girls who thrived on gossip, designer labels, and looking down on those who had less. Cyrus Hurts, her twin brother, embodied the opposite. Arrogant, competitive, and fiercely protective of his status, he thrived on being the best. As the star quarterback, he was untouchable in both athletics and social standing. His friends were his reflection-loud, entitled, and always ready to remind others of their place. But this year was different. College brought change. When Cyrus was paired in a dorm with Zayn Moretti, a scholarship student and wide receiver on the football team, tensions ignited. Zayn was everything the Hurts' world was not. He was tough, driven, and unimpressed by wealth. He had clawed his way into Hurts University on talent alone, and he wasn't about to let anyone walk over him-not even the quarterback with the famous last name.
