✯TIDES OF BELONGING ~ A Highschool Love Story✯
"Sometimes, home isn't a place-it's a person who makes you feel seen."
To those who believe in love that arrives softly yet stays forever.

✯VIHAAN PATHAK - the golden boy senior✯
Vihaan was the kind of boy who could make anyone smile-confident, charming, the kind who flirted just to make others feel good.
But behind that easy smile was a boy who never truly let anyone in.
A born leader, the heartbeat of every crowd, yet lonely when the noise faded.
He believed attachments were distractions... until she came along.
The quiet girl who preferred shadows over spotlights, books over parties, peace over chaos.
The one person who never tried to impress him-just looked right through him.
And somehow, that's what made him fall. Harder than he ever thought he could.
"Main chahta toh sabse door reh sakta tha... par tumse chah ke bhi nahi."

✯ANVI KASHYAP - the quiet storm junior✯
Anvi was not loud-she was midnight rain.
Calm. Composed. Beautiful in her silence.
To people, she seemed reserved, almost distant. But once you truly knew her, she could talk endlessly, with laughter that warmed even the coldest hearts.
A topper, a thinker, a girl who fought for her respect and stood tall for those she loved.
She didn't believe in fairytales. She believed in effort, in respect, in understanding.
And yet, when she met him, her carefully built walls began to tremble.
He was sunlight-steady, blinding, and too warm to resist.
She was the storm that taught him how to feel the rain.
"Tumhare saath waqt rukta nahi... bas thehra sa lagta hai."

Vihaan x Anvi - Because sometimes, belonging isn't about finding someone who understands you-
It's about finding someone who chooses to stay.
