Roses🌹

I just had the BEST birthday yesterday! 
          So, we did have English exam yesterday and it went quite okay-ish, but the wishes I got from my class were sooo unexpected. First of all, I had a completely different class this year (I'd been in the same class for seven years but in eleventh everyone changed streams) and I didn't talk much to a large section of the boys. But the moment I entered class, one of the popular girls wished me loudly and they began singing together. Everyone outside the class joined, including my best friends from the next class. After I was done being wished by everyone personally, the friend standing outside pulled me towards my friends group where an entire crowd was there (half of biomaths consisted of my best friends and half of commerce were my new friends, so they had all joined in) and they began singing. Then when I returned to my class, my classmates sang again because our class teacher was there. One of my best friends among boys kept telling playfully that he needed special chocolates since we were besties. Two of the girls made me a cute colourful card that said 'Happy Rose day' and I almost teared up at that, they met me just a few months ago but hell these new classmates made my birthday far better than my old ones <333 the old ones won't even care to wish, actually, only my friends and few others did. But this entire class took it up to actually make it MY day, and I was so happy for their genuine efforts. 
          I brought only thirty chocolates, thinking it was too much, because I was sure that majority of my classmates wouldn't even wish, but it ended up being completely insufficient because I gave to about 25 people in class, my best friends from the other class and lots of others. There are still 10-15 people left to give it to, so I've to bring chocolates again. It's the first time I had so much people wish me all at once, and my last such birthday was in sixth grade. Also, I share birthday with so many people, including Taylor Swift

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SISTER!! Love you so much<33

Turning 17 soon y'all ;-; 
          I can't believe I just skipped two years of my childhood during covid. But anyways, I get my license next year.

          New Awards

Congrats @thedevilstwin100 ! She won first prize for her book in Frosty flavours awards, romance category. As the co-author of this story, I'm pretty proud :)
          
          We started writing this story way back when I was 12 and she was 13. Four years since then, we've come past 40 chapters and lots of editing. When we first entered an awards book, we never expected any prize but thanks to luck we got the runner up(forth) in Seasonal contests. Those marks were deducted purely due to grammar mistakes, emotions being shown less and some plot holes. Since then, I've been focused on the grammar and emotions while she edited the rest of it like the cover and blurb. We then won first prizes in two award books but in mini categories of best couple, because we thought we wouldn't win anything if we applied for main categories. However, I recently applied for a main category(romance) just to see the result and damn... First prize! We couldn't score any points for cover (which has been changed now) but for the rest of the things like plot, emotions and character development, it was a full on 100%. Four years of developement for us too, lol.

Soo, I went for a function in my neighborhood yesterday and the most wattpad-ic thing ever happened. It was a mehendi function, something that I've never went to before in my 16 years of life, so I was excited and dressed up really well. However, I didn't meet any of my friends(neighbors) and was bored there while my parents and grandparents were busy talking with all the adults. I felt isolated. 
          
          That's when this guy comes up, let's call him S. He was in tenth and very extroverted. He's also my neighbor but lives in an apartment so I rarely saw him. This time, however, we smiled and talked a lot. He then invited me for a selfie outside, we even took mirror selfies inside the house, he asked for my insta ID and requested me to post the selfies with a good song, caption and tag him there. Sometimes I exited the function to check on my dog and whenever I returned he was like "oh you're back? Awesome!" We spent the rest of the time talking and he was such a cool guy - very open-minded, and wasn't awkward at all, since my classmates who were his exact age had trouble talking to the opposite gender or talked only with the popular ones. When my parents came to call me to go home, he greeted them cheerfully with a high-five and asked how their work was going. He didn't want me to leave so when my parents told him that it was getting late and that's why we were leaving, he was like 'Oh don't worry aunty, I'll drop her at home safely' AND DAMNNNN idk how to explain how heartwarmed I felt at that. Irony is, my house was right next door and he knew that, so he didn't even have to drop me. My parents told that excuse only because I had to study after reaching home. 
          
          Anyways, he later asked on insta if I'm coming for the same person's marriage function today but when I said I can't because of exams, he was really disappointed since he wanted to talk more. What a great guy. Unfortunately we rarely meet thanks to studies.

Interview book here!

I totally love Wattpad's new logo <3

Hey guys, I would like to tell something to anyone who's going to host awards here. 
          
          Firstly, please do make sure that you post everything on time, or at least take less than a year. You can check out every single one of the awards book in my reading list and only 2-3 of them have posted the results. The others have been left hanging for 3 years or more, and the participants in it have already left by now. This is seriously the condition of most awards book on Wattpad. I understand if the judges or hosts have some personal issues, but you're obliged to inform us that, not leave us hanging here. Majority of them don't even do that. Besides, if one of the judges has a problem, find another one and try to finish the results as soon as possible. You take payments from us for judging our books and then leave us completely, which would've been illegal had it been in real life. At least have the basic decency to inform us. Btw, I do understand that in some cases, the judges do judge every book but it's the hosts who leave suddenly. Such as in the case of Ecstatic awards (in my reading list).
          
          Now, if possible, can any of you send me ACTUAL genuine awards that won't leave suddenly without any information about why they're leaving? I'm greatly thankful to every awards that have posted results right on time(or even some weeks later) even after having lots of issues with judges, timings and other stuff. You guys did your job well and didn't trick us. Also, if someone's unsure regarding the awards timings and results, please try to make us do the payments AFTER you post results, so that we won't have to waste our time doing all those stuff in return for nothing. Please understand, we have got problems too, and just like we're obliged to tell you if we want to be out of the award, you're obliged to tell us if you can't go on with the awards anymore either.
