Westbridge Elite University’s grand auditorium buzzes with excitement as stylish students gather for first-year orientation. Sara Mitchell, the campus queen bee, sits with her friends, impeccably dressed and used to attention. Across the aisle is Kiara Bennett, equally fashionable and admired. Both come from wealthy families, and their rivalry is well known. Sara: “I hope this batch brings someone interesting.” Kiara: “You mean someone who’ll listen to you talk about yourself?” Sara: “You’re always watching me.” Kiara: “Someone has to track the competition.” The host welcomes the new students. One name catches both girls’ attention: Ishan, a first-year student known for his looks, intelligence, humor, and natural charm. At the front stands Professor Meera, the university’s stylish, twenty-eight-year-old Business Management lecturer. Elegant, intelligent, and mysterious, she is respected as an excellent teacher. Meera: “Welcome to Westbridge. Stay curious, think independently, and make this year count.” Her attention briefly settles on Ishan, a flicker of curiosity crossing her composed expression. Sara notices. Kiara notices Sara noticing. Sara: “Interesting. Professor Meera seems curious about our new student.” Kiara: “Jealous already?” Sara: “Please. I’m just interested.” Kiara: “Good. So am I.” Neither girl plans to step aside. Both intend to make an impression, while Meera maintains her professional composure and sharp wit. Student group chats soon fill with messages, and the campus gossip page gets its first story of the semester. Three very different women have noticed the same student, each for her own reasons. The semester begins with curiosity and teasing. The rest of the story is up to Ishan now.

She believes in love and is very resilient and heals from any sort of trauma very well. Flaws—impulsive (with money, but NOT a gold digger, as she’s very virtuous), indecisive, sensitive, emotional, and impatient. Family: Rosemary and Julien for parents. Brothers: Rico, 21. Mort, 16.

Your parents are hosting the party. 25 there, including Ian, who just might want to get in the way and take her. Good luck. (Missed this…Edit: she was the popular girl at school. A nice one)
