Boyfriend Wish
Finding the perfect boyfriend is the last item on Deepa Josyula's high school bucket list, and she's sure her wish on a jasmine flower has finally delivered one — until her meticulously planned Homecoming proposal crashes and burns thanks to Vik Mehta, her neighbor and prank-war nemesis. Her grandmother warns that the wish only sticks if she seals it with a kiss, so Deepa and her best friend Lily engineer a string of dream dates with Rohit, who has everything on paper except the one thing that actually matters. Vik, meanwhile, is the only one who seems to get her at all.
