Aarav Banerjee is a mystery wrapped in silence. He speaks only when necessary, yet when he does, everyone listens. He's not popular, but everyone knows him. He's just joined junior college, though not very thrilled about it. He's not quiet, just carefully concealed behind a mask-one that Aastha Sethi is desperate to unravel.
Aastha is as average as they come-or so people think. A hopeless romantic with a love for pink, Taylor Swift, and fairytale endings, she's just starting college, still figuring out where she fits. She never gave Aarav a second thought. And he never spared her a glance.
But fate has other plans. When they're paired for a project, their worlds collide, and suddenly, the lines between indifference and curiosity begin to blur.
He's not who she thought he was. She's not as predictable as he assumed.
They're just classmates. Nothing more.
Right?

"Wanting was enough
For me, it was enough
To live for the hope of it all
Cancel plans just in case you'd call"

claimed by my senior
She's a freshman. Sweet, kind... and secretly sassy. He's her senior. A bad boy. A billionaire. Trouble wrapped in perfection. Ananya Sharma enters college with dreams in her eyes and determination in her heart. She wants to study, make friends, and keep her life simple. What she doesn't want? To cross paths with Aarav Malhotra-the arrogant, dangerously handsome senior who rules the campus like it belongs to him. Their first meeting? A disaster. Her coffee. His shirt. His smirk. From that moment, war begins. He teases, she snaps back. He challenges, she refuses to bend. But the more they clash, the more sparks fly. And slowly, hate starts to blur into something else... something far more dangerous than either of them expected. Because once you get caught in Aarav Malhotra's world, there's no turning back.

She chased laughter. He chased silence. Somewhere in between... hearts caught fire without warning. Palak Mehta is chaos wrapped in charm - a girl who laughs too loud, lives too fast, and loves without warning. Her world is wild, messy, and heartbreakingly beautiful. Then he entered - not with a bang, but a silence so loud, it rattled her soul. They clashed. Hard. Every word was a dare. Every glance, a battlefield. "You really think the world revolves around your drama?" She smirked, stepping closer. "Maybe I'm just the gravity you can't escape." Enemies? Maybe. Friends? Never. But something between them burned - too strong to ignore, too dangerous to name. He was the calm before her storm. She was the fire he never saw coming. And in that fragile, fiery in-between... hearts were bound to break. Somewhere In Between - A story of hearts pulling away, only to fall for what they never saw coming.
