Aiden Acharya. One word about him and suddenly everyone's listening. The type of guy girls and boys gush over. Gentlemanly as he could be. The son of the Acharyas, one of the richest families in USA. He wouldn't go against his father's wishes, no matter how much he wanted to. But that was until, at the young age of 18, his father agreed to get him married. Aru Shah. There are three words to describe her place in society: no one cares. Her family's well-off, but not rich. She's a high school senior, studying for her SATs like a normal girl. She's just...normal. Pretty, cunning, smart and mysterious. No one knows more about her than she lets on. Two entirely different people. Different places in society. All of a sudden, Aru, your normal girl, knows the engaged son of the illustrious Acharyas, and Aiden wants to know everything about Aru. And then normal isn't normal anymore when they're together.

"𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵'𝘴 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘪𝘵 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘴..." Aru is pissed. First of all, she's going on a date she doesn't want to go on. Then she got stood up on that date. Then a boy walked in and pretending to be her boyfriend so she wouldn't look at an idiot. And of course that boy has to be Aiden Acharya, whom she supremely embarrassed herself in front of. Aiden needs an excuse. He needs an out with his family...issues, so when Brynne asks him to help out Aru by pretending to be her boyfriend, he thinks, "Why not continue it?" - An Aruden college fake dating AU "𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘵'𝘴 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘨𝘪𝘳𝘭..."

Aru Shah has amnesia. She remembers literally nothing about her life. And years after the traumatizing accident that caused her to lose her memories, she finds her old diary. With it, she manages to venture back to her childhood house. But the home she returns to isn't home anymore. 🇦🇱🇱 🇹🇭🇪 🇨🇭🇦🇷🇦🇨🇹🇪🇷🇸 🇧🇪🇱🇴🇳🇬 🇹🇴 🇷🇴🇸🇭🇦🇳🇮 🇨🇭🇴🇰🇸🇭🇮. 🇹🇭🇮🇸 🇮🇸 🇦 🇫🇦🇳🇫🇮🇨🇹🇮🇴🇳 🇦🇳🇩 🇦🇺 🇫🇴🇷 🇹🇭🇪 🇵🇦🇳🇩🇦🇻🇦 🇶🇺🇮🇳🇹🇪🇹. 🇩🇴 🇳🇴🇹 🇷🇪🇵🇴🇸🇹 🇴🇳 🇴🇹🇭🇪🇷 🇵🇱🇦🇹🇫🇴🇷🇲🇸 🇼🇮🇹🇭🇴🇺🇹 🇲🇾 🇵🇪🇷🇲🇮🇸🇸🇮🇴🇳.

When it came to her sister's crush, Aru Shah couldn't care less than she already did. She didn't even know the guy, and it didn't help that he was the hot topic in all of Kara's and Aru's conversations. She knew she had to meet the dude someday, because of their mutual friend group, but she didn't expect to meet him to help him and Kara for their project. It helped her too, so what was the point in denying? Aiden knew people only liked him, and talked to him because of his looks. He knew love was a waste of time, because the guy Aiden actually was was someone who nobody cared about. But when one of his friends came up to him and told him that she had found a model for their end-of-year project, he readily accepted, not knowing that this one person would make him change his perspective. In the end, he realised, there were albums of snapshots, all overflowing with pictures of memories he never knew he wanted.
