Academicrivalstolovers Stories

Aarav Banerjee is a mystery wrapped in silence. He speaks only when necessary, yet when he does, everyone listens. He's not popular, but everyone knows him. He's just joined junior college, though not very thrilled about it. He's not quiet, just carefully concealed behind a mask-one that Aastha Sethi is desperate to unravel. Aastha is as average as they come-or so people think. A hopeless romantic with a love for pink, Taylor Swift, and fairytale endings, she's just starting college, still figuring out where she fits. She never gave Aarav a second thought. And he never spared her a glance. But fate has other plans. When they're paired for a project, their worlds collide, and suddenly, the lines between indifference and curiosity begin to blur. He's not who she thought he was. She's not as predictable as he assumed. They're just classmates. Nothing more.

"I don't want the grades. I don't want the scholarship. I want you," he rasped, his grip on my waist tightening until it almost hurt. He was shivering, not from the cold, but from the sheer effort of holding himself back. "I've been in love with you since we were five, and it is a sickness. It's an infection. And the worst part?" He leaned in, his lips grazing my ear, his voice breaking into a sob. "I don't ever want to be cured." 𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 𓆟 𓆝 What would you do if your boyfriend broke up with you for someone else? Even worse. She is that girl. Popular, cheerleader and horribly perfect. The one who makes all of your insecurities stand out. So I decided to hit him harder. The only thing that would piss him off more than seeing me with another guy would be seeing me with this guy. Because no one likes it when the enemy takes away something that used to be ours, not even when we left it behind as if it wasn't worth a penny. He hates him and it would be the perfect revenge. It really would if I didn't hate him even more. Growing up with the person you hate most in the world just because he's your brother's best friend is hard enough. Then imagine asking him to fake date you in order to make another guy jealous... Hopeless, huh? Well, consider me a hopeless cause because now, is the time for my revenge. 𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 𓆟 𓆝 This story contains mature themes and inappropriate language, not suitable for all audiences.
