#WINNER OF WATTPAD INDIA AWARDS 2021 (MATTERS OF HEART CATEGORY) Veritas is one of the oldest most popular newspapers in India, having been established prior to Independence. Born into a family of hard hitting columnists, Anita is a woman who has been raised on facts and logistics. And she knows the manner in which they must be presented to the world. And thus, as far was the world was concerned, Anita Sinha had had two accidents . One landed her in a wheelchair for a year when she was twenty-two. The other, several decades apart was a plane crash that killed her. But in between those two, another one lay, unheard of. In the year of her first accident, Anita was sent to England for rest and recovery. Amidst the process what ensued was a dangerous and passionate affair with the art teacher at the nearby St. Anne's school. Women who fall in love are frowned upon, Anita knew. But what happened to women who fell in love with women? This is India in the seventies, when Emergency raged on in the country. This is the seventies when bell bottoms and flared jeans were the rage in the world. This is the story of a woman who fell in love with a woman. Section 377 was decriminalised only in 2018; but even prior to that wasn't love just love? The story that didn't make it to the headlines. ( 59,000 WORDS )

He's been stuck in the same town his whole life, which he loves and hates at the same time. When Chance moves to yet another new town, he expects it to turn out the same way it always has-hiding from people, refusing to make connections with anyone or anything, not unpacking his stuff because he knows he probably won't be there longer than a year.

But with Noah's growing instability and Chance's inexperience with friendship, will it last?

This story starts with Nicolas Pearson moving to a new school. This story will move on into him meeting Thomas Weiss, a "straight as a pole" and popular football jock who doesn't care about his existence, and developing a big time crush on him. Then, he'll find out he has a class with him and by destiny they'll have to partner up and work together for a project. Thomas will hate Nicolas after finding out he's gay but after spending some time with him, he'll magically fall for him and they fight some more because well, Tommy doesn't want to be "out" yet but they'll get over it and eventually be the best gay couple in the campus and they live happily ever after. Yup, that's Cliché Beginnings or should I say, how it should be; only instead, Thomas Weiss is the popular gay jock who'd set his eyes on the new straight kid, Nicolas Pearson.
