The story is about a group of friends. They're about to graduate from high school and step into their respective college life. On one hand they have the immense pressure of the school final exam and on the other hand they're filled with nostalgia.
They're about to close one chapter of their life and step into another one. The story starts on the last day at school. Coming to school together for the last time, sitting together for the last time, having lunch together for the last time, bunking classes together for the last time, getting scolded / punished together for the last time. All of these combined create an environment where the students are completely immersed into enjoying their final day at school.
They'll be leaving the school soon. They'll become the past tense while a new batch takes their place and a new future waits for the present one to become past.
So, everyone's busy making one last memory. Some eager to bid farewell to their friends, some taking one last shot to propose to their crushes or some maybe just want to get it over with.
Overall everyone's busy trying to make their ending(of school life) a happy ending. But the pursuit of a happy ending isn't always happy. Complications are very real things.
As they step out of adolescence and step into adulthood they get acquainted with real world problems, some more serious than others.

Twisted Deception
[Book #1 of Twisted Deception] "You people don't know a damn thing about us, don't even speak." **** Everyone knows that high school is always something to dread. GPA, friends, enemies, prom, graduation, everything that you think would make high school good and bad for the future. Now scratch off friends, GPA, prom, and graduation. Why would you scratch them off? Because everything else will be the only thing that's important when you get to this high school. Saint Johnathan Pier is the one high school in the city where everything happens and normally, stuff you wish you didn't see. Everyone warned people about the dangers of the students going there but did they ever mention the people already broken by it? They were dubbed "the rainbow colors of society" just because they were different from other students in this school. But there's a slight differential between them: four of these students are popular while the other four are normal. While the four populars are seen as "superior, hot, and intimidating", the four normals are seen as "weirdos, weaklings, and irreverent bystanders". Being different from the other kids has always been a struggle for all of them since grade school, but they try to keep that out of mind. But with their dark history following them at every corner, making new friends can't be on their list. Matter of fact, it isn't an option. Especially when their attitudes are what drive people away rather than in. Not like they're complaining though. When these eight students get paired up for an end of the year assignment, they encounter a lot of drama that will test their relationships to the max. What will happen to them? Can they grow comfortable with each other? Can these troubled teens even be friends in the first place? Come along on the journey as these eight try to survive their last year of high school. ⚠️TRIGGER WARNING ⚠️: This contains strong language, mentions of rape, bullying, etc.Complete

TERA BHI KATEGA/ YOU TOO WILL GET DUMPED (FLASH FICTIONS)
Teenage boys and girls get many chances to fall in love over and over again. They fall in love and overcome from that love very easily. In this phase of life break-up does not hurt much. Friends become happier when someone gets dumped rather than when they get their love. Love rivalry is also very common between classmates and friends. When someone starts feeling for someone, friends become happy. They expect to see a failure. They encourage them but also warn them saying, "Tera Bhi Katega," or "You Too Will Get Dumped." I take the name of this series from a very common phrase of teenagers. In this series I will share some unsuccessful love stories. Don't expect happy ending and don't be sad. These stories are short and crisp just like potato chips. Take these stories lightly as there is nothing wrong in getting dumped or rejected by your crush. These life experiences make the young generation world ready. This series is mainly for BL flash fictions. These stories are unrelated to each other. For my convenient I used seven main characters in this series but they may or may not be the same persons in different stories. There would be no character description as the character of a teenager would change with each passing year or after each failure in love. Enjoy them as they are. If you like these stories please vote and comment. I would reply if you ask questions related to any story or character. These stories are totally fictional; I just took a few references from my daughter's random blabbering about her day at school. Do not match them to any real incident; I may not have any idea of that incident anyway.Complete![𝐑𝐔𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐈𝐘𝐀𝐓 - ["ʜᴇᴀʀᴛꜱ ᴇɴᴛᴡɪɴᴇᴅ ɪɴ ᴅɪᴠɪɴᴇ ɢʀᴀᴄᴇ"]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/388245257-256-k718659.jpg)
