Before We Fell

He's a topper.
She's a topper.

Both brilliant. Both unstoppable.
And absolutely terrible at being normal around each other.

Aarav Mehta lives by rules, ranks, and perfection.
First place isn't a goal for him - it's a habit.
Control is his strength, confidence his armor.

Ananya Sharma believes in effort, passion, and proving herself every single day.
She doesn't chase perfection - she earns it.
And beating Aarav Mehta? That's personal.

When Class 11 begins, so does their fiercest battle yet -
marks, debates, leadership, egos colliding in crowded corridors and silent classrooms.
Every argument turns sharper.
Every glance lasts a second too long.
Every win feels incomplete without the other watching.

What starts as rivalry slowly blurs into something neither of them planned for.
Because some fights aren't meant to be won...
and some people don't follow the rules you've lived by your whole life.

So tell me -
when competition turns into connection,
will they fight harder...
or fall first?

A story of rivals, egos, slow-burn tension, and the kind of love that sneaks in when you least expect it.
