✿｡･ﾟ DEDICATION ﾟ･｡✿

For the girls who were told they were too loud,

and the boys who were mistaken for emotionless because they didn't know how to say what they felt.

For the ones who found love somewhere between a shared campus, stolen glances, ridiculous arguments, and two families who thought they knew exactly what their children wanted.

And for anyone who has ever met someone who made their carefully planned life wonderfully inconvenient.

This one is for you.

✿｡･ﾟ DISCLAIMER ﾟ･｡✿

1. ABOUT THE LANGUAGE

First of all English is not my first language and I'm still improving everyday so if you come across any grammatical mistakes or spelling errors I truly ask for your understanding.

2. ORIGINALITY OF THE BOOK

This book is my intellectual property. This is my original work. Every scene, every dialogue and every character you encounter has been created by me with efforts and I have spent hours shaping it with love, care, emotions and creativity. So please do not copy, reproduce, or repost this story on any platform. Plagiarism not only disrespects the author but also undermines the integrity of the story.

If you can't create something on your own, then writing a book probably isn't for you. Stop wasting time thinking imitation will get you anywhere. Using someone else's hard work as a crutch won't earn you the right to call yourself a writer. That title comes from originality, not shortcuts.

3. ORIGINALITY OF THE CHARACTERS

The characters in this book are deeply flawed. Some of their actions may seem wrong or hard to understand but that's what makes them real. And their growth will unfold as the story moves forward.

4. MATURE CONTENT

Yes this book does include explicit mature content in certain chapters. If you are uncomfortable with such content feel free to skip those parts, readers discretion is strongly advised.

5. FEEDBACK AND RESPECT

This book is purely based on my imagination so please make sure your comments are encouraging and respectful. I won't tolerate any kind of negative comments if I see any kind of negative comments, I will delete them if it continues I will block you.if you don't like the story kindly leave but don't spread your negativity here. No disrespect against the characters or author will be tolerated. I don't give you any rights to question my book.

Read at your own comfort. This is fiction-characters and events are not meant to glorify or promote harmful behavior.
