When Silence Spoke First
Genre: Teen Romance | School Life | Enemies to Lovers | Slow Burn

> He laughed with someone else. She stopped laughing at all.
Reyna Kapoor used to think Ridyan Sharma was the one person who understood her silence — until he laughed at another girl’s joke and shattered something she never admitted she felt.
Now, they’re barely friends. Barely anything.
Just two classmates pretending the air between them isn’t thick with words left unsaid.
But when fate (and one sneaky teacher) decides to fix their seats together for “academic improvement,” everything Reyna tried to bury starts to come alive again — every glance, every half-smile, every quiet heartbeat that only gets louder when he’s near.
He’s smug. She’s stubborn.
He smirks when she blushes. She glares when he smiles.
And yet, the tension between them is impossible to ignore.
With their best friends — Ananya Maurya and Aarav Malhotra — adding chaos, teasing, and a little unintentional matchmaking, Reyna and Ridyan are forced to face the one thing they’ve both been avoiding:
that maybe, silence was never hatred… it was heartbreak.
