THE MISFIT SECTION B: Misfit unite

Isha Kim Ara Joshi thought switching schools would be hard- she didn't expect it to feel like stepping into a storm. Her seat is next to Rudra Dev Pant Bharadwaj- calm, composed, impossible to read. He moves through the room with a quiet authority, and every glance he casts feels heavier than words. He isn't friendly. He doesn't need to be. He just exists in a way that makes her pulse quicken, as if the space around him bends to his presence alone. No one here wants her. She can feel it in the way eyes flick away, in the quiet tension that hums through the room. And yet, she doesn't back down. One thing is certain: Section B has never met anyone like her-and everything here is about to change.
