You'll Be The Death Of Me

Ayashi Mishra is a high school, straight-A student. She's the perfectionist if there even exists one, the sweetest friend and a person you can always count on, never lets you down. Reserved. No one would dare think there's anything other than love behind those eyes. Atleast.. that's what everyone thinks. But not Vedang Malhotra.

He knows the sides she desperately tries to hide, that ones she's insecure about. If Ayashi is the perfectionist, he's the best at everything he does. He doesn't care about anyone's emotions, not afraid to voice out his thoughts. His words can send a shiver down the person's spine yet he can be the most charming person you've ever met.

From academics to sports to debates, they've been competing against each other at every opportunity they get since 3rd grade. He keeps challenging her, keeps pushing her, like he's made it his mission to watch her break. But will she? Or will she be 'the death of him', breaking him instead?

'It's like you've picked me to torture with everything you have. Why me?' she asks with fury and pain.

'Because you're the only one worth it,' he says, with a smile like a withered flower, holding her face gently.
