Anaya was the kind of girl who always walked around with a book in her hand and a dream in her heart. She was gentle, soft-spoken and preferred the quiet corners of her school library to the noisy cafeteria or busy corridors. Her world was made of ink and paper and that was enough – until Aarav came along.Aarav was everything she wasn't. Loud, confident, always surrounded by friends and laughter. He played cricket like a star and walked around the school like he owned it. But one rainy afternoon changed everything.Suddenly the skies opened up and Anaya, as usual, forgot her umbrella. She stood under the narrow roof of the library's side entrance, hugging her book. The wind was blowing raindrops on her face and she was shivering."Did you forget your umbrella too?" a voice asked.She turned around, startled. Aarav.Anaya nodded slightly, trying to avoid staring.He looked at her, then at the rain, and shrugged. “Looks like we’re stuck. Do you read a lot?”She blinked. No one ever asked. “Umm… yes.”“What’s that about?” he asked, pointing to the book.She hesitated.“It sounds boring,” he said.She frowned.“But,” he added quickly, “you don’t seem like someone who reads boringbooks.She blushed, then smiled — just a little.That’s where it started.After that day, Aarav started coming to the library more often. He would tease her about her books, ask her questions and sometimes sit in front of her, pretending to read, stealing glances. At first, Anaya didn’t know what to make of it.But gradually she became comfortable. Aarav was funny and kind too, which surprised her. He never laughed when she stumbled over words. He never made her feel small.One day he asked, “Why do you always read love stories?”She thought for a moment.He was silent for a long time.Anaya’s heart skipped a beat. She didn’t ask what he meant.They began to exchange notes, placing folded pieces of paper between the pages of the book. Some were silly, like doodles of her favourite fictional characters. Others were more personal. One note read: *“If I were a story, I think I would want you to read it to me first.”*When spring came, everyone at school had noticed the change. Anaya began to walk a little more confidently. Aarav smiled more serenely when she was around.Then it was time to bid farewell to school.Anaya wore a light blue dress. She looked like the sky just before dawn – soft, full of hope. Aarav found her standing under the tree where they had first sat on a bench outside the library.“You look like a painting,” he said.She laughed nervously.They sat next to each other, the music coming from the school auditorium fading into the background.“So,” she said, “this is our last day.”He nodded. His eyes lit up."I'll miss this," she said. "I'll miss you.""I'll miss you, too."He reached into his coat pocket and pulled out a small book. "Open it."Inside, it wasn't a real novel — but a collection of her notes, her favorite quotes, even a photo of the two of them that he didn't know she had taken. On the last page, she had written: *“Anaya, my favorite story will always be you.”*She looked up, tears in her eyes. "Is that what you really want?"He smiled. "That's what I've always wanted."He didn't know what to say, so he just hugged her. It was the first time they had touched like that — without hesitation, without pretense.For years afterward, whenever she thought of love, she didn't think of grand gestures or dramatic confessions. It was rainy afternoons, shared books, quiet notes - and a boy who made her feel like the heroine of her own story.And though life moved on, one thing never changed: Aarav was still her favourite chapter.Would you like a version of this story based in a different time or place (such as a village, college or fictional setting)?
