What happens when friendship, drama, and destiny collide in the corridors of a school?
Eight best friends-four girls in Class 11 and four boys in Class 12-are known for being brilliant in both studies and extracurriculars. But life has its own syllabus, one that no teacher ever hands out.
When Ananya, a spirited perfectionist, literally crashes into Aarav, the charming basketball captain, their story begins with irritation, banter, and flying notebook pages. What feels like a silly accident soon becomes the spark for something far deeper.
Between group projects, fest rehearsals, late-night exam calls, sports tournaments, and family drama, the eight friends navigate laughter, misunderstandings, and the bittersweet journey of growing up. Somewhere between sharing class notes and stolen glances in the library, friendships blur into feelings-and love quietly writes itself into the margins of their lives.
But love in school is never simple.
Will they balance dreams with relationships?
Can they survive heartbreaks, jealousies, and parental pressures?
And when the same corridors become memories, will their bond survive beyond school gates?
From first crushes to proposal under fairy lights... from farewell tears to unexpected confessions... from campus laughter to wedding mandaps, this is not just a story of romance-it's the story of growing up together.
