Lab Coats and Ledgers

An introvert by nature, she prefers books over crowds and facts over distractions. In a world that demands attention and noise, Simran thrives in silence, quietly observing everything around her. At Saint Xavier High School, she's known as the brilliant yet mysterious science student-one of the top achievers who doesn't seek the limelight but can outshine everyone when it matters. She may not talk much, but when she does, her words carry the weight of sharp intellect, and she never hesitates to challenge someone who thinks they can outsmart her.

Her world is organized, predictable, and perfectly suited to her introverted nature. But when the school announces a full-year challenge between the Commerce and Science streams-spanning everything from quizzes to sports, dance, and more-Simran suddenly finds herself at the center of an unexpected rivalry.

This competition is more than just a series of events to her; it's an unwelcome intrusion into the calm, structured life she's worked hard to create. And the worst part? The Commerce stream, led by the loud and charismatic Ayaan, seems determined to make this as messy and chaotic as possible. He's everything she's not-extroverted, confident, and never shy to be the center of attention. He enjoys pushing her buttons, seeing if he can break through her quiet façade.

But Simran isn't as easy to break. She has a tongue as sharp as her intellect and doesn't shy away from putting Ayaan in his place with a quick-witted remark or a challenge of her own. The rivalry becomes personal, with every win from either side pushing the other to work harder, outdo one another, and sometimes-just sometimes-find themselves standing on opposite sides of a thin line between hate and something... more.
