Adira is your typical hot tempered, extra zealot, extremely self righteous, sarcastic generic teenage girl with a naive sense of justice and black and white view of world. Yet unaware about laws that not just govern Thermodynamics but relationship dynamics too, she thinks she has figured it out all and stays happily in cocoon of her friends.
She has the most popular guy in College as her best buddy whom she has been secretly crushing on since the first day, his other annoying best friend with whom she puts up a polite façade just for her crush's sake, an extremely charming and talented room mate cum BFF who no more believes in herself, a cheerful girl for a companion who can turn even a funeral into a clown show and a go-to friend who never fails to slap all her friends in face in case they get too carried away with delusions.
So when you have such an iron-clad foundation, who in their right mind would believe that just one outsider guy with ego bigger than that of Kanye West and insecurities as tall as Everest could turn your whole world topsy-turvy?
Well, he most probably could so brace yourselves and be ready to mix the black and white and discover all 27 shades (because fifty shades don't exist) of grey that life could be and so could be your own head.
Join Adira in her journey to discover the laws that govern human relations, most prominently, the Zeroth law of friendship.

Charlie's Web (A Romantic Comedy)
"We met earlier, kind of," he smiled at her. "I'm Jake." "H-hi!" How had she missed him before? He was delightful. Dark blond hair, slate grey eyes . . . and oh my goodness, that smile!!! To be fair, back in the bar, all of their faces had been merging together, but now she was a bit more with it, she could see this guy was pretty much perfection. What a shame she was getting married . . . No, wait, she wasn't. But he thought she was. And yet here he was, apparently interested. Time to see how this one played out . . . ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Charlotte Tyler has a theory - when it comes to girls, all guys want what they can't have. The fact her colleague Aaron flirted with her constantly while she was in a relationship and lost interest the second she was single has in no way disproved this theory. And so her best friend Thea comes up with a way to test this further - if Charlie stages her own hen night, will she manage to hook an unsuspecting guy? Despite being technically off-the-market? It seems like a crazy idea. But the plan, surprisingly, is a resounding success, and Charlie actually meets and starts to fall for someone as a result. But with an imaginary fiance and an upcoming fictional wedding to juggle, her lies are starting to spin out of control. Is this what she really wants?Complete
Bavri Aashiqui
The story is set in ummm.. Wait, this time it's the modern world. A normal girl forced to marry a mafia man with dark past. Very basic, right? Just one detail. The girl is an avid dark romance reader and calls him Sunshine from their first meeting i.e. their wedding day. Oh! And the man? He is the usual grumpy cold blooded male lead who likes his guns, sunglasses and cigarettes but he loves his new addiction more. So let the tale begin.. ☆Warning :This story is completely fictional and based upon my imagination. It contains mature themes (like sex, blood, violence etc). I do not promote anything, it's all fictitious and just for the sake of entertainment. Readers discretion is advised.Complete

Why the hell is she confused? My eyes involuntarily moved to the shelf from where she has picked the item and I was beyond shocked. Holy Shit.
