Rishi, the charming, basketball-loving heartthrob, was the kind of boy who had it all-good looks, wealth, and popularity. He had been the center of attention throughout school, effortlessly winning the admiration of every girl. With his parents owning the school and a bright future ahead of him, he left for Canada to pursue his higher studies, leaving behind a trail of broken hearts.
Ruchi, on the other hand, was the quiet, unnoticed girl in the same class. While the entire school was in tears as Rishi bid farewell, she remained indifferent. After all, she had barely spoken to him and had no reason to feel anything. But deep down, Ruchi often daydreamed about what it would be like if Rishi noticed her, if only she could be the one by his side. But that seemed impossible. She believed she had nothing to offer-a plain girl with no remarkable looks or the body most boys desired. No boy had ever shown any interest in her, and she had come to accept it.
However, life has a way of surprising us. Destiny, with its strange twists, has other plans for them. Will Ruchi ever get a chance at love? Will they meet again, or will their story follow the usual path of school romance, filled with misunderstandings, or could it take a different turn?
Only time will tell.
A story about unspoken desires, unexpected encounters, and the journey from being overlooked to being seen.
Sometimes you get things to happen your way and you're happy, sometimes you don't and you're hurt.
What hurts even more is to experience what you had wanted for a little while only for it to be robbed away from you brutally.
However, everything does happen for a certain reason doesn't it?

Getting the cute boy in her music class-who now goes to the same school as her-to reciprocate her feelings and get a good score in the tenth grade board exam was definitely in Rithvika Sharma's agenda. What wasn't in it though, was getting into a ruckus of drama.
Does she really woo the cute boy?
Or is a change of plans in order?
But romance isn't the only difficult aspect of life now, is it?
