Apastron

"She's had a habit of stirring things up in me I didn't even know existed." - Avantika Raizada
"Even your silence is enough to muffle the noises in my head." - Maya Agrawal

Avantika Raizada: The school's geeky coder, running the Coders Club with a vision board of big dreams. By day, she's all logic and algorithms, but by night, she's a teenage girl pouring her heart into poems for a crush she's sure is one-sided. Because that girl? Probably straight. Definitely taken.

Maya Agrawal: A debate queen and aspiring law student with trophies that can fill shelves and a sharper tongue than her arguments. Born rich, loved through every phase, she owns every stage with a smile or a glare. But now, she's questioning something too big to dismiss as "just a phase," and she might not be as brave as she thought.

In their elite school's glossy halls, gossip spreads faster than light. Homophobic "dank" jokes and fake smiles hide drama, heartbreak, and betrayal.

What would happen if two closeted girls were placed in the middle of it all?

Apastron: where two stars in a binary system are farthest apart.

But a school project-coding a legal awareness website-forces these opposites to collide. Late-night meetings spark stolen glances. Memes turn to confessions. Hands brush over laptops and law books, igniting feelings neither can ignore. In a world of liars, traitors, and whispered slurs, can these two girls risk it all to close the gap?

Will they become more than project partners? Or stay forever apart, lost in secrets and fear?

Two stars. One orbit. Poles apart-until they're not.

Apastron: A story of hidden love, self-discovery, and the messy, beautiful clash of opposites in a world not ready for them.
