Lines I Shouldn't Cross
When two opposites collide, sparks are bound to fly, just not the good kind. Kiara Evans, the school's top student and resident overachiever, values her solitude and strict boundaries. With a father who demands perfection and an academic portfolio to maintain, she's built her life around discipline and distance. Sharing a dorm room with anyone, let alone Breanna Baker, is the last thing she wants.
Breanna, on the other hand, is everything Kiara isn't, outgoing, warm, and effortlessly charming. As the lead singer of the school band, Breanna thrives in the spotlight and loves forming connections. She approaches her new roommate with an open heart, only to be met with cold indifference and sharp words.
Their rocky start seems destined to stay that way until an unexpected twist forces them together. When Kiara's father pushes her to join the school band to pad her college applications, she's stuck working alongside Breanna. The shared rehearsals and performances slowly chip away at their defenses, revealing sides of each other neither expected to see.
As their animosity fades into tentative friendship, something even more dangerous begins to bloom. Both girls start feeling things they know they shouldn't, feelings that threaten the lines they've drawn to protect themselves. Kiara fights against the vulnerability Breanna awakens in her, while Breanna grapples with emotions she can't explain.
"Lines I Shouldn't Cross" is a story of forced proximity, unlikely bonds, and the transformative power of music and understanding. As Kiara and Breanna navigate their growing connection, they're faced with the ultimate question: will crossing the lines they've drawn bring them closer or tear them apart?
She was the warmth he never knew he needed.
He was the storm she didn't see coming.
20-year-old Kiara Kapoor arrives in Mumbai with nothing but a suitcase, a hopeful heart, and her best friend Tanya by her side. Orphaned young but undefeated, Kiara dreams of starting over.
But college life throws her headfirst into Arnav Arora - arrogant, temperamental, and filthy rich. He doesn't believe in second chances, especially not for strangers. She believes everyone deserves one.
They're opposites in every way. And they can't stop colliding.
But when secrets unravel and pasts resurface, Kiara and Arnav find themselves forced into each other's orbit - again and again. Somewhere between hate and healing, they begin to wonder:
What if love was never meant to be loud?
What if it was always... just a whispered promise?
