Faking it with you.

The kind of guy everyone notices when he walks into a room. With dark brown eyes that can be both intimidating and magnetic, Ishan towers at 6'1" and carries the aura of someone who's always in control. Head Boy of St Parse College, he's not just popular-he's practically untouchable. A gymrat with a sharp mind, balancing brains and brawn effortless.
But beneath the confident exterior lies a complicated side. He has a complicated relationship with his father, whose alcoholism has left scars he tries to hide.

The new girl at St Parse College who's impossible to ignore. With striking pale grey eyes that seem to see right through people, she stands at 5'3", petite but full of presence. Vedhira is as smart as she is popular. Unlike Ishan, she's unscathed by romantic drama-she's never had an ex, and she has a best friend in Aditi who keeps her grounded.
Vedhira has a way of charming people without even trying, but she's not one to be easily intimidated-even by someone like Ishan Malhoottra. A force to be reckoned with, she's clever, independent, and a little stubborn, ready to make her mark at St Parse College.

When Ishan and Vedhira cross paths, sparks fly-but not the kind they're expecting. Their initial encounters are full of friction, teasing, and unspoken challenges. Ishan can't stand Vedhira's fearless confidence, and Vedhira refuses to bow to his reputation.
Yet, fate has other plans. A fake dating arrangement is forced upon them, pushing them into each other's worlds, revealing vulnerabilities they'd rather keep hidden, and slowly transforming their animosity into something dangerously close to... love.
