Between Ranks & Ruin
Class 11 was supposed to be a fresh start for Myra Sharma.
Instead, it feels like damage control.
A month before her board exams, one mistake was enough to change the way she sees everything.
What started as something easy turned into something fake—and Myra made sure to end it before it could break her.
But walking away didn’t undo it.
It just left her more careful.
More guarded.
Now, with a 79 percent that doesn’t sit right and a home that’s always felt more controlling than comforting, she knows exactly what she wants.
To do better.
To score higher.
To leave.
No distractions. No attachments.
It works—until the first day of Class 11, when Ayaan Mehta walks in.
Quiet, composed, and already ahead of everyone else, Ayaan isn’t someone Myra plans to pay attention to.
But he’s not easy to ignore.
Not when he notices more than he should.
Not when he keeps up with her without trying.
Not when it starts to feel like he’s watching for a reason.
What begins as silent competition quickly turns into something harder to define.
Because Myra doesn’t trust easily.
And Ayaan doesn’t lose interest once something has his attention.
Somewhere between marks, pressure, and the need to stay in control, the line between rivalry and something else starts to blur.
And neither of them are the type to walk away first.
