She was smart.
Just not enough for them.
Ria Keller has always excelled in school-but being good has never been enough to belong truly.
She isn't at the top of the class.
She isn't confident.
She isn't pretty in the way people forgive easily.
When her best friend chooses popularity over loyalty and the academic circle quietly shuts her out, Ria finds herself alone-targeted by subtle cruelty, body shaming, and whispers no teacher ever hears.
The bullying isn't loud.
It's careful.
And it hurts anyway.
As panic attacks replace confidence and silence becomes her safest place, Ria begins to question whether she deserves space at all-until an unexpected friendship and a quiet presence remind her that worth isn't something you earn by suffering.
This is not a story about being saved.
It's about surviving invisibility.
And learning to stay.
A slow-burning, emotionally heavy school drama about bullying, academic pressure, anxiety, and quiet resilience.
