dedicated to all those, who wish they had a hot academic rival to
first argue with and then make out.

Don't pretend it's such a mystery
Think about the place where you first met me

AT THE BUSTLING UNIVERSITY CAMPUS, Shubman Gill and Aratrika Vishwanath reign supreme as the ultimate academic rivals. Their debates are legendary, their challenges epic, and their chemistry... well, that's a work in progress. [ like my other books ]

While Shubman's dashing looks and cricket prowess have the girls swooning and the boys green with envy, Aratrika's charm and talent on the tennis court make her the object of every guy's affection (and perhaps a tad bit of jealousy from Shubman. Yeah well no guy would want other's to look at his future girlfriend in such a way).

In a classic case of "OPPOSITES ATTRACT," Shubman secretly harbours a crush on Aratrika but would rather challenge her to a duel of wits than admit it.

Aratrika, on the other hand, is too busy acing her exams and serving aces on the tennis court to notice Shubman's subtle flirtations disguised as academic warfare. (she just keeps telling herself that )

And then comes their Professor, who decides it's high time Shubman catches up on his studies and assigns Aratrika as his tutor. Cue the eye rolls and exasperated sighs from both parties as they begrudgingly agree to spend more time together outside their usual battlegrounds.

Meanwhile, Ishan Kishan is on a mission to win the heart of his best friend Ishpita Singh, oblivious to the fact that she's been dropping hints faster than a cricket ball hurtling towards the boundary line.

In a comedic twist of fate, Ishan's attempts at wooing Ishpita involve everything from cheesy pick-up lines to accidentally setting fire to his notes while trying to impress her with his cooking skills. Let's just say it worked as well.

Not to be outdone in the game of love, Anahira Kalyan and Abhishek Sharma confess their undying love for each other in the rain when his car breaks down. Talk about a romantic moment.

As Shubman and Aratrika reluctantly embark on their tutoring sessions, sparks fly (both intellectual and romantic) amidst the sea of textbooks and notes. Their banter evolves from heated arguments to playful teasing, and soon enough, they find themselves enjoying each other's company more than they'd care to admit.

With each tutoring session, Shubman and Aratrika discover common interests, hidden talents, and maybe even a mutual admiration that goes beyond their academic rivalry. As the semester progresses, so does their budding romance, culminating in a grand gesture straight out of a Bollywood rom-com.

Well, not actually a Bollywood rom-com to be honest. It starts with a project completion and ends with a make-out session, on her kitchen counter.
