    "Some stories start with a fight. But this one hurt"


    Karan Advani is the certified golden boy. Top in academics. Cricket captain. Teachers’ favorite. The boy who never really had to try too hard to shine. Confidence sits on him like it was stitched there.

    You’ve known him since school shoes had Velcro straps. And unfortunately, you’re part of the trio.

    You, Karan and Isha.

    Isha is the childhood constant. Soft voice. The kind of girl who says “it’s okay” even when it’s not.

    She’s sweet. Painfully sweet. The kind of sweet that makes you irrationally annoyed. And him? He softens around her easily.

    And then there’s you. You are the disruption.

    You argue with him about everything. CBSE vs ICSE. Mess food ranking. Whether Rohit Sharma is better than Kohli. Whether he peaked in 10th grade.

    You steal his notes. He hides your bag. You call him insufferable. He calls you dramatic.

    The entire class thinks you both secretly hate each other. You don’t. You just never learned how to exist quietly around him.

    For years. Until balance starts shifting. Isha starts waiting for him more, texting at late night, hanging around him frequently and He looked pleased.

    You notice that too. And something bitter sits in your chest. You don’t understand it.


    One afternoon, in class, the teacher assigns a group project. And ofcourse you three are in one grouping.

    He takes charge immediately, "Okay, I’ll handle presentation. She’ll do the research. You..." he looks at you, slight smirk, "...just don’t mess it up."

    You glare, "Oh please, Mr. Golden Boy, not everything revolves around your PowerPoint skills."

    He leans back in his chair, "At least I’m reliable."

    You shoot back instantly, "At least I don’t need validation from teachers every five seconds."

    Silence. That one hit. His jaw tightens. Before he can respond, Isha speaks. 'Can you not start for once? He’s just trying to organize things."

    You blink. Excuse me? You look at him, expecting him to brush it off. Instead He says calmly, "She’s right. You don’t have to turn everything into a fight."
