Story Notes

It's a soft, romantic, sweet, lovestory. You are gonna have a total roller-coaster experience. 
                                            ******
"Slow down, topper," a deep voice said.
I froze.
Aarav Rathore was crouched down, picking up my books - my books - the same guy who looked like he'd rather fight someone than help them.
"Sorry," I muttered, pushing my hair behind my ear.
He glanced up. His eyes were dark brown, almost black.Dangerous, but... tired. Like he'd lived more years than he was supposed to.
"It's fine," he said. "You should look where you're going though. You're too..." He paused, eyes narrowing slightly. "Soft."
My cheeks warmed. "I'm not soft."
He raised an eyebrow. "Sure."

Summary

She's the topper. He's the troublemaker. And neither of them planned on falling in love. Anaya Sharma has always been the girl who follows the rules, keeps her head down, and tries not to disappoint anyone. Aarav Rathore is everything she's supposed to stay away from—short-tempered, unpredictable, and carrying a past he rarely talks about. They come from different worlds, have different ways of looking at life, and probably have no business getting involved with each other. But between unexpected encounters, teasing arguments, little moments of care, and feelings neither knows how to handle, things begin to change. What starts as an unlikely connection slowly becomes something neither of them expected. It's not a perfect love story. There will be misunderstandings, heartaches, laughter, and moments that make them question everything they thought they knew about love. Because sometimes, the people who seem least suited for each other are the ones who change each other the most. A soft, sweet love story about two different hearts finding their own way. ❤️
