Don't Knock My Heart Out (WLW)

Two first-year students whose paths cross unexpectedly, sparking a connection that transforms their lives. One is a bold and confident architecture student, a masculine-presenting woman with a flair for creativity and a determination to design her future on her terms. The other is a warm and nurturing education major, whose love for writing, singing, and connecting with people makes her a natural light in any room.

Though from seemingly different worlds, they find common ground in their shared dreams, academic struggles, and the unspoken bond that keeps pulling them together. Amid sleepless nights, deadlines, and the chaos of university life, they navigate the pressure of academic validation, self-discovery, and love that feels like home.

As they spend more time together-whether it's in stolen moments between classes, late-night study sessions, or unexpected run-ins at school events-their dynamic shifts. What started as casual teasing and effortless companionship slowly turns into something deeper, something neither of them is fully ready to name.

But love isn't always easy, especially when you're still figuring yourself out. Between expectations, societal norms, and personal fears, they must decide: Will they take the leap, or will they let hesitation knock their hearts out before they even get the chance to fall?
