I wasn't supposed to notice him.
Not in a crowded hallway.
Not when he was just another senior passing by.
But one glance turned into curiosity.
Curiosity turned into conversations.
And before I realized it... my heart was already involved.
Rishan Malhotra was everything I should stay away from -
complicated past, unreadable eyes, and a world that didn't include me.
Yet somehow, I kept getting pulled closer.
Maybe some stories don't start with love.
Maybe they start with one mistake...
and the senior I shouldn't like.
