As the sun rose over the bustling city, Priya sat at her desk, tapping her pencil nervously against her notebook. Today was not just any ordinary day; it was the day she would face Sumit again in class, and the weight of unspoken words hung heavily in the air. The accounts test had been a mere prelude to the tension brewing between them, and her heart raced at the thought of their next encounter.

Meanwhile, Sumit was in a similar state of turmoil. He poured over his notes in his room, trying to drown out the distractions of his thoughts. Despite his efforts to shield himself from feeling too much, Priya’s spirited nature was like a magnet, pulling him closer even as he tried to retreat. "What is it about her?" he muttered under his breath, frustrated with himself. Just then, his phone buzzed—Harkirat was texting, insisting they meet at the café after classes.
