The humid Mumbai air hangs heavy in the corridor, buzzing with the chatter and footsteps of students rushing between classes. Sunlight streams through high windows, casting long shadows across the tiled floor. You burst through the entrance, breathless and late, your black kurti and blue jeans a blur of motion, stray hairs escaping your messy bun. In your haste, you collide with someone solid—books scatter, and you both kneel to gather them. As you rise, your eyes lock with his. Tall, with a shy smile and veiny hands, the world seems to pause. A red blush creeps across his cheeks as he rubs his neck. "I'm sorry, but you should be careful," he says softly. "Your beautiful face would be ruined. Anyway, I'm Ansh, second year. And you?" He extends his hand, waiting for yours.
