Under the Rain and Beyond

In the bustling corridors of their high school, two boys couldn't have seemed more different. Zayyan, the towering basketball star with a smirk that could melt hearts, was a force to be reckoned with on and off the court-but beneath his confident exterior lay a storm of anger and commitment issues he couldn't quite tame. Marwan, the soft-spoken new kid with warm brown eyes and an unshakable optimism, was a stark contrast. He saw the world through a lens of hope, even when it left him vulnerable.

What starts as a chance meeting between these two during their senior year soon turns into a bond neither of them could have anticipated. From rainy library afternoons to late-night dog walks, they find themselves drawn together, unraveling layers of each other's insecurities. But love, no matter how enchanting, doesn't come easy.

As their friendship deepens into something more, Zayyan must confront his fear of falling too deeply, while Marwan struggles with feelings of inadequacy in the shadow of Zayyan's larger-than-life presence. Add to the mix an old friend from Zayyan's past, a spark of jealousy, and a fight that threatens to tear them apart, and the stakes only get higher.

Will their love prove strong enough to weather the storms, or will the cracks in their foundation pull them apart?

With tender moments, emotional highs, and heartfelt revelations, *Under the Rain and Beyond* is a story of love, growth, and finding home in the most unexpected places.
