Quietly Yours

Kian Shekhawat is used to noise-the roar of the crowd, the cheer of his teammates, the constant buzz of admiration. As the star basketball captain, he thrives under the spotlight, but even he can't deny the growing emptiness behind the applause.

Arika Malhotra is the opposite. Soft-spoken, sharp-minded, and new to the chaos of high school popularity, she hides behind books and shadows. Moving to a new city was supposed to be a fresh start, not a leap into the unknown.

When a twist of fate forces their paths to cross, Kian is intrigued by the girl who doesn't flinch at his fame and speaks in silences louder than most words. Arika, wary of attention, finds herself drawn to the boy who seems to have everything but understands her loneliness a little too well.

But in a world where people are quick to label and even quicker to judge, can two people from opposite ends of the hallway find a space that's truly their own?

A tender, slow-burning story about vulnerability, connection, and the magic of being seen for who you really are.
