Destined to be his light

They called her sunshine with a heartbeat.

The girl who lit up hallways without even trying.
The one whose laughter floated down corridors like music -
Warm, golden, unforgettable.

Siara Singhania didn't chase attention. It found her.
A new face at HVIS, Indian by origin, and instantly unforgettable -
She was the kind of girl people noticed, adored, and whispered about in awe.

She remembered everyone's name.
She smiled first. She spoke softly, but her presence was loud - in the most beautiful way.

But even sunshine casts shadows.

And her light...
It stopped in front of him.

Mark Keifer Watson.
Brooding. Silent. Untouchable.
The kind of boy who didn't care if you loved him or feared him - as long as you stayed out of his way.

He was the warning sign painted in red.
She was the daisy growing through concrete.

They weren't supposed to meet - not really.

But some souls are written to collide.

Because sometimes, even the darkest storms crave a little sun.
And sometimes, the sun burns for the one place it's never meant to reach.
