Radha Deshpande has been holding a grudge since kindergarten. Her nemesis? Anirudh Shah-rich boy, musical heartthrob, and the reason she got suspended at age 10.
Now they're both at National Cultural University.
Same program.
Same friend group.
Same unresolved rage.
She's all sarcasm and side-eyes. He's all charm and chaos. And they're one group project away from either kissing or killing each other.
Featuring:
- Slaps, sass, and sabotage
- A 10-year-old with a crush
- Friends begging them to get it together
- One accidental love song
- And one very loud "OH GOD I THINK I LIKE THEM" moment
This isn't just a love story.
It's a roast battle with feelings.
