Ruhi and Rudraksh are strangers ── bound not by words, but by scribbles. On different days of the week, they occupy the same desk in a quiet classroom, unknowingly starting a silent exchange through doodles, notes, and unfinished sketches. Names remain hidden. Faces are unknown. But week after week, the drawings evolve into something more ── curiosity, comfort, a bond that neither of them can explain. As their unspoken friendship deepens, so does the question: what happens when anonymity fades and real life steps in? A story of unexpected connection, quiet beginnings, and how sometimes, the smallest gestures can lead to the greatest loves.

❛ amidst the chaos, there were you ❜ ★ Kinjal has always known who she couldn't stand──until the boy she once hated turns out to be the one who truly sees her. Aakar is learning to let go of a love that never chose him, but healing might just begin with Saanchi, the girl who's always been just a friend of a friend──until now. And Vani, who's built walls taller than anyone dared to climb, finds herself wondering what it would mean to let someone in──especially him, the one who never stopped trying.

🏆 SHORTLIST - OPEN NOVELLA CONTEST 2025 Two teenagers embark on a cross-country music tour to outrun the threat of war and curtailed creative freedom. ⋯⋯⋯ As Ash finishes identifying his parents' remains from a full-blast attack, he should have stopped writing silly songs. With rebels controlling the country bit by bit comes the diminishing right to express themselves, so when a boy with a lopsided grin and penchant to chase trouble convinces Ash to perform his music, he only has one answer―no. But Jet has a way of getting what he wants, and there is no way Ash can let a golden boy run off on his own. With only a beat-up neon-pink car, a patched guitar, an obnoxious red pen, and a battered polaroid, Jet and Ash embark on a cross-country tour to make a name for themselves, outrunning authorities, and maybe even Fate itself. What can go wrong...right? From the award-winning author of 𝘋𝘪𝘦 𝘢 𝘏𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘥 𝘋𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩, 𝘈𝘳𝘭𝘰 𝘊𝘳𝘰𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘯, comes a story of young love, the fight for freedom, and the eternal struggle for meaning set in a world of oppression and violence. There are many ways to the end, and it is up to us to choose which path to take. ˜"°•.˜"°•˜"°•.˜"°•˜"°•.˜"°• © 2025 (First Edition) [25,000 - 30,000 words] [All graphics are made by @sardonictabby] ˜"°•.˜"°•˜"°•.˜"°•˜"°•.˜"°• 🏆 LONGLIST - OPEN NOVELLA CONTEST 2025 🏆 ROUND 2 AMBASSADOR PICK - OPEN NOVELLA CONTEST 2025 🏆 ROUND 2 QUALIFIER - OPEN NOVELLA CONTEST 2025 🏆 ROUND 1 QUALIFIER - OPEN NOVELLA CONTEST 2025
