~Pretty girls score the guys, tough girls kick their asses, but smart girls know how to leave them speechless~
Guess that makes me a combination of all three... Nah, who am I kidding? I'm not that awesome. Ok, maybe a little bit. Now I'm just flattering myself.
The name's Zeina but people prefer to call me Zay, for a reason I will never understand.
I'm a Muslim teen who currently resides in Brisbane, Australia. As you will read, my personality gets me into the strangest and most chaotic disasters ever known to man. Nah, I'm just fooling with ya. But I am a handful.
I'm not always accepted for who I am and I'm planning to change that.
Prepare for one hell of a roller coaster ride and embarrassments that ought to make you all feel good about yourselves.
Enjoy reading about my life everyone!

Frenemies with the Bad Boy | Ongoing
"Are you running away from me?" A playful voice made me stop in my tracks. My heart thudded in alarm, and I had to remind myself that we were in school, with multiple witnesses around us. He couldn't harm me here. I turned around with a glare, but the second I looked at his face, my courage crumbled. The memory of him threatening to snap my neck if I reported him and his crew hit me like a brick. Swallowing my fear, I met his eyes. "Weren't you the one who told me to stay away from trouble?" A crooked grin tugged at his lips and he brought his face closer. "Yeah. But looks like trouble doesn't want to stay away from you." I blinked. What? *** [muslim girl x bad boy] Bareera Omar, a.k.a Rory, thought junior year's biggest challenge would be adjusting to life and dealing with how people treated her now that she'd chosen to openly embrace her Muslim identity, and started wearing the hijab. What she didn't expect, however, was to get tangled up with Romero Allen - her school's infamous senior and the walking definition of trouble. One moment, he's bullying her. The next, he's scaring off the guys who try to mess with her. They don't consider each other friends. But calling them enemies doesn't quite fit either. Maybe they're something in between. Something along the lines of 'frenemies'. *** "So what do you want us to be? We can't be both. Either we're friends or we're enemies."

Beyond the veil
She wore her hijab with pride. He wore his faith on his sleeve. They never meant to fall in love-but destiny had its own plan. Fatima is the quiet, sharp-tongued girl in abaya, always on top of her class and always under people's judgment. Mohammad is the charming gym freak on a bike, with a soft heart, spicy cooking skills-and a secret past he doesn't talk about. They're college rivals, academic competitors, and maybe... something more. Between stolen glances, heated debates, and unanswered duas, something unspoken grows. But they know what it means to love in silence. They know what it means to guard their hearts in a world where love outside marriage is tempting-but never right. This is not your typical college love story. This is the journey of two souls who fall in love not by crossing boundaries... but by respecting them. A story of emotional tension, friendship, family pressure, longing, and the courage to choose the halal path-together. 💌 "How do you fall in love... without disobeying the One who created love?" Read now and step beyond the veil-where modesty meets desire, and faith rewrites fate.
She's The One ✔
You ever wondered what will happen when exes cross the same path again? "You!!!" I looked at him shocked and stunned. What is he doing here? Please Lord don't tell me he studies in the same college. I prayed looking at the boy in front of me who had a mirroring expression as mine. "What the hell are you doing here?"He demanded in his deep husky tone. I gulped hard at that. Why does he make me nervous whenever I see him? "Duh, I learn here." I replied in a sarcastic tone making him glare at me. "You've got be kidding me," he says unbelievably. "Nope, I'm not kidding," I say giving him a sarcastic smile and inched closer towards him. "Won't you welcome your ex-girlfriend to your college, Zian?" P. S. This is not an intercast/interreligion love story. All the characters in my books are Hindus, I just loved the name Zain so I named him that, this has nothing to do with caste/religion.

'Be mine, Maya' He declared, anticipating for my response. 'I have to go' I managed to stutter, my vision getting blurry with tears. I tried to leave but he pushed me back against the wall. 'Please Zain...I have to go...' I sobbed. 'No' He shook his head, not agreeing to let me go. 'I know you are scared but I have seen it...I know you have feelings for me too, don't push me away...it'll be a sin if we are not together' He moved his hands to my face to wipe the tears away from my eyes. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a story of Zain and Maya. The complete opposites. We all know the story of the opposites, don't we? The story of those who shouldn't have crossed paths but did... who shouldn't have fallen for each other but did.

THE CHAOS WE CALLED LOVE! (ON HOLD)
They were six souls - different worlds wrapped in the same storm. Each carrying wounds they didn't show and truths they couldn't tell. ╰─➤ ❝ the chaos we called love ❞ ZIA AHMET SIDDIQUI X ZAYN YILDIRIM DEMIR "Sometimes love isn't found - it's buried beneath betrayal, waiting to be unearthed." Zia and Zayn were tied by fate, not choice. He returned with vengeance burning in his veins; she carried wounds the world never saw. What began as a marriage of obligation turns into a storm of emotions - love, guilt, and shattered truths. As their past unravels and hearts collide, they must face the one question that could break them both: Can two broken souls still find peace in each other's arms? ───────── ✦ ───────── LEAH AURORA X HAIDER ÇELIK "She was chaos wrapped in calm; he was silence hiding a storm." Leah and Haider's story isn't about perfect love - it's about finding light in the ruins. He runs from his past, she hides from her pain, yet destiny keeps pulling them closer. In a world where trust feels like a luxury and love feels like danger, they learn that sometimes the bravest thing you can do... is to stay. ───────── ✦ ───────── SAHER KHAN X FARHAN SIDDIQUI "She was the fire he could never tame - and he was the peace she never knew she needed." Saher and Farhan's story is one of playful chaos and unspoken depth. She challenges him at every turn; he steadies her without even trying. Between banter and silence, friendship turns into something dangerously tender. When laughter hides longing and every argument feels like love in disguise - what happens when they finally stop pretending? ───────── ✦ ───────── 𓂃 𝓪𝓾𝓽𝓱𝓸𝓻 𝓱𝓲𝓵𝓪𝓵 𓂃
Just Be Friends
"I won't complain if you don't provide me with nutella. I won't complain if you don't buy me Victoria's Secret lingerie. I won't complain if you sit on the wardrobe. I won't complain if you join street fighting. I won't complain if you ask me to have less than fifteen babies. I'm ready to compromise with everything because... All I want is just you." And with that she fell off the stage, flat on her face. Brushing off the laughs from everyone, she gets up and walk towards him. He knew he didn't love her. But he couldn't either deny the love she held for him, nor accept his heart to love her. (Extended summary inside) * Bored reading emotional and nerve wrecking stories? Fed up crying over heartbreaking stories? Mood swings caused by grief stricken stories? Want to experience a good humorous laugh? If your answers to the above questions are 'yes', then you stopped at the right place. Cover by: @numeralsComplete

His child (EDITING)
~✨COMPLETED✨~ "you're not her" she yells at me and I sigh rubbing my forehead in frustration, "I'm not trying to be" I groan in exasperation, I regret following her "but you're marrying my father" she yells yet again ~ Did she really just slap me! I opened and closed my mouth unable to form reasonable words or a proper reaction. She steps further away from me, clearly surprised she did what she did but not at all remorseful. It doesn't take long for Zayd to waltz in looking for me, he quietly observes the both of us before speaking. "What's going on?" He asks slowly and I gulp unable to give a proper answer. Alina bolts back into the house and I stare at Zayd wordlessly "tell me" he grabs my shoulders. "She slapped me," I say softly and his concerned expression quickly morphs into that of pure anger. ***read to find out*** Best ranking #4 stepmother (June 2022) #3 compromise (June 2022)Complete
