Hating You Is A Lie

TWO TWINS, TWO BEST FRIENDS, AND TWO DIFFERENT ENEMIES.

"I seriously hate you!" Vanshika huffed, bending over to catch her breath after running after him for a solid five minutes.
​Kairav didn't even slow his long strides, his voice echoing in the dark. "Just stop following me, you psycho!" he shouted back.

​Vanshika Raj is a five-foot-tall walking podcast. Made entirely of pink aesthetics, endless chatter, and a fierce determination to score top grades, she is a menace in a fun-sized package.

​Kairav Srivastava is a six-foot-one brick wall. Existing strictly in black clothing and sharp glares, he desperately needs peace and quiet. He couldn't care less about his grades when his parents own the massive S&K Textile empire.

​They are childhood enemies forced together because their parents are best friends. Vanshika's daily mission? Provoke Kairav. Kairav's daily mission? Survive the "Kankhajuri."

​But avoiding each other is impossible when their friend group is a tangled, chaotic mess. Kairav's twin brother, Idhant (older by exactly five minutes, and he won't let anyone forget it), is a golden-retriever flirt who runs on pure chaos. His absolute favorite hobby? Relentlessly teasing Vanshika's best friend, Inara Gupta.
​Inara is a fierce, bike-riding, man-hating academic rival who would rather run Idhant over than let him beat her in an exam. He loves sweets and hates spice; she loves spicy food and wants to feed him ghost peppers just to watch him cry.

​Between rich-kid privileges, middle-class hustle, cutthroat academic rivalries, flying chappals, and the constant, loud, desi family-friend drama, staying away from each other isn't an option.
​Opposites don't just attract. Sometimes, they violently collide.
