A Highschool Romcom~ They've shared walls, secrets, and stolen glances since they were kids - childhood friends, next-door neighbors, and complete opposites. She's the quiet girl with a stack of medical books and dreams too big for her strict parents' rules. He's the loud, laughter-filled boy who lights up every room and secretly saves all his smiles for her. In the heart of Maharashtra, two teens navigate high school, late-night balcony talks, family expectations, and the confusing ache of growing up. She's always been the calm to his chaos. He's always been her safe place in a storm. But somewhere between shared rickshaw rides, school festivals, and hidden notes passed under doorsteps... something starts to change. She fell first. He fell harder. A slow-burning, heart-fluttering rom-com about teenage love, strict rules, missed chances, and how sometimes, the person you're meant to be with has been right next door all along. ──── ୨୧ ──── Tropes: Childhood friends to lovers Neighbors Based in Maharashtra Introvert x extrovert Sunshine x sunshine She fell first x he fell harder Rom-com Teenage love Highschool romance Slow burn ~ ~ ~ ݁ ˖🛸── .✦～～～ #1 Pune - 9/11/25 #3 Slowburn [Top 10 in India] - 16/9/25 #5 Maharashtra [Top 10 in India] - 15/9/25 #1 Maharashtra - 4/9/25 #1 Maharashtrian - 1/9/25![𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐈 𝐃𝐄𝐄𝐖𝐀𝐍𝐈 [𝖳𝗁𝖾 𝖨𝗇𝗇𝗈𝖼𝖾𝗇𝗍 𝖫𝗈𝗏𝖾] (Duet #1)](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/355057092-256-k912298.jpg)
