Synopsis
Preksha, a dreamy and determined girl who wants to become a surgeon someday, walks into her Class 9 classroom on the first day of the new academic year. Across the room, he — Harshit— the quiet boy with a football heart and dreams of a diploma in computer science. He's not a topper. Not loud. Not popular. But he notices her… and something clicks. And then... He calls her name. Out loud. Just once. A normal moment — but something inside her changes. From awkward glances during lectures to accidental meetings in corridors... From a football hitting her accidentally to teasing moments by friends... Their story unfolds slowly, gently — in the gaps between math lectures, biology complaints. Neither of them confesses, but their hearts speak through silence, eye contact, and the little details. Everyone seems to notice what they try to hide. The story is just beginning — but already feels like it’s something more than just a school crush.

Chapter 1 - Chapter 1 : first day

Preksha pov :

I wakeup from my alarm. It's 6 AM in the morning. Today is my first day at school in 9th grade. I found myself starring at my feets, still in the bed, mind full of thoughts. What will happen today? Will I be able to make friends? What about teachers? And so on.

I get from my bed and make my way to bathroom. I take a cold shower and get ready for school. I prepared my bad last night. The only thing remaining was my sketch book. I put it inside my back and leave the room for breakfast.

I reached the dining table. My brother was already there. When I sit beside him, he punch my arm.

"Don't you know how to respect your elder sister? " I asked angerly

"No. I took my revenge."

"What revenge?" I ask confuced

"Don't you remember that you make fun of me yesterday" he explained.

"Oooh...I told you that I was just kidding." I protest "and I am 6 years older than you. Respect me."

"Oh my God. Not again" mom signed from the kitchen."Can't you both behave like a good siblings?"

"Nooo" we shouted in unison.

We had a nice breakfast. Mom drop me to my school. New school. I was tensed standing outside the gate of my school, Kendriya vidyalaya No.1 air force station. I entered the school and make my way to my classroom.

I found the class after asking for help from a student. Outside the, it was written, 9th C.

I entered the class. Everyone was doing there work, some were chatting, some were playing and some were introducing each other. I goes to the first bench in the corner opposite to the classdoor. There was a girls sitting there.

"Can I sit here, next to you?" I ask, keeping a smile on my face.

"Yes ufcourse" she replied happily.

"Myself Preksha and you?"

"I am Dishita. You look new here?"

"Yes."

"Everyone get back to your sit" mam ordered entering the class.

When everyone was sitted, mam introduced herself "Good morning students, I am Madhavi, your biology teacher and your class teacher. And we have a new transfer student, Preksha Chavda. Preksha introduce yourself.

I standup on my sit "Good morning everyone, Myself Preksha chavda. I am happy to see you all as my classmates and soon to be friends."

"Okay, let's get back to studies. Open your books." Mam ordered.

Some hours passed, some lectures over. And it's break time.

"Hello, Anvika here","and myself Reeva" said the girls from the bench behind.

"Hello, nice to meet you" I replied.

"Wanna join us ? I have fried rice and Reeva have wrap" Anvika ask.

"Ya why not. I have French fries." I said with a smile.

We finish our lunch with too much chatting.

They told me about the class.

"Let's start with topper, Aarush, Full of atitude.

In girls, Dishita, Nehal and Saanvika are somewhat toppers and teacher's favourite. And they three are best friends also." Anvika started.

"Kamlesh, kaihan and khushal are the jokers of the class. Vivaan and advait are the best friend of Aarush. Zalak, Divya, Roshni and Manvi are best friends." Reeva said pointing each and every person.

"What about your group?" I ask.

"It's me, Reeva and Priya. Priya is absent today. Do you wanna join our group?" Anvika ask making my smile wider.

"Yes ufcourse. Thank you so much"

"There is no thanks no sorry in friendship." Reeva said.

There were so many students in the class but they were so nice to me. I am glad that I make good friends.

Lectures are over and we are packing our bags.

"Where do you live?" Ask Reeva.

"Near defence colony. Why?" I reply.

"I am also going that way. Should I drop you there?"

"No, thanks. My mom is going to pick me "

"No thanks no sorry between friends." Warning Anvita.

I smiled.

We get out of the school and make our respective ways. My mom was waiting for me at the gate.

"How was your day?" She asked with a smile.

"Very nice, mom. I make friends. There name is Anvika and Reeva. They allow me to join there group." I said getting inside the car.

We stop at the stationary store. I want to buy books and other things. I purchase 9th grade books, stationary items, new sketch book as my previous one is going to complete. After that, we reached home.

After having dinner, I lay down on my bed starring at the ceiling. I thought about the whole day. Then I took my sketch book. Open the last and only page remaining. And started sketching some small doodles. Sketching and reading books is my way to escape reality.
