New school. New city. Same old shadow.
Roohi was sent away at seven years old for a reason. She was the girl nobody chose. The one who was always second best. The one who was easily replaced. Ten years in Canada was supposed to bury those memories.
But then she meets Agastya Vardhaan.
To everyone else, he's the untouchable king of the hallways. To Roohi, he's the boy who spent his entire life making sure she knew she didn't matter. He was the first person to break her heart before she even knew what love was.
He doesn't recognize the girl standing in front of him now. He sees a stranger he can intimidate. A girl who dares to look him in the eye. He hates her because she's a mystery he can't solve. She hates him because she remembers every time he chose someone else over her.
Agastya is looking for perfection. Roohi is a reminder of everything he wants to forget.
The line between them is drawn in years of resentment and forgotten secrets. He thinks he's winning a game she's been playing since they were kids.
