Claudia D'Souza never planned on becoming attached to anyone at her new school.
She transferred in April for Grade 11 expecting exactly three things: awkward introductions, temporary friendships, and emotional survival.
Instead, she found herself tangled in loud corridors, complicated friendships, unfinished feelings, and one boy from English class who forgot her name before he ever really knew her.
Between almost-loves, shifting friendships, inside jokes, heartbreak disguised as friendship, and the strange loneliness of growing up, Claudia slowly realizes that some people change your life without ever truly becoming yours.
"He forgot my name first" is a story about quiet girls, emotionally confusing boys, friendship breakups, school corridors, and the kind of love that lingers long after it ends.
