books where the female lead has had a crush on the male lead for years in school & then confesses to him after high school grad, but he rejects her. So she moves on & they cross paths when they are adults & the male lead falls in love & grovels to win the female lead back.

Hi everyone, i have been desperately trying to find a book with such a trope but i can’t find any 😭 please help a girl out pleaseee.

i don’t mind if the trope is just about the female lead getting rejected & moving on, but the male lead actively pursues her after. i just don’t want anything to do with fantasy, cheating, marriage. just want the male lead to reject her because he isn’t attracted to her at the start.

thank you in advance <33
