Some people fall in love slowly.
Some people don't even realize when it happens.
And then there were them.
Advika and Ahaan.
Childhood rivals. Same school. Same class. Same competitions. Same everything.
From the moment they could walk, they were already trying to outrun each other.
Marks. Sports. Debates. Popularity.
If one won, the other had to win harder.
They knew each other's strengths, weaknesses... habits... even the way the other would react before they actually did.
It wasn't just rivalry.
It was an obsession.
But somewhere between arguments, competitions, and stolen glances-
Ahaan stopped seeing her as just a rival.
He started noticing the way her eyes lit up when she won.
The way she clenched her jaw when she lost.
The way she always pushed him to be better.
And maybe... that's when everything got complicated.
Because Advika?
She still saw him as the enemy.
Or at least... that's what she told herself.
"I hate you."
"It's pretty obvious that you love me, Lily."
And just like that-
another battle began.
