✯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.All Rights Reserved

'For the hearts that love like prayer and heal like faith may this story hold you gently and heal you like you heal others' -------🎀------ ⭑ Saadhvi Bansal ⭑ She's the kind of girl who laughs the loudest in the room and still sleeps with a lump in her throat. She talks back, never steps back, and carries a fire in her eyes. But behind that sass and stubbornness, there's a past that still breathes heavy on her heart. She doesn't say it out loud, but some nights, she breaks. And in those silences, it's just Kanha the only one who's ever heard her unsaid prayers. "I was just a mess but he looked at me like I was a magic" ⭑ Advait Ravanshi⭑ He's the boy who keeps his world locked behind his lashes. Sharp mind, sharper silences the kind who doesn't pray because he stopped believing someone was listening. His heart? Walled. His past? A wound he doesn't touch. But love... love will wreck his logic. Because when she walks in loud, flawed, divine he'll kneel without knowing how. Not to God. To her. "She talks like choas but it feels like home" ────୨ৎ──── "Set in a school that feels like a K-drama dream and unfolds like a Bollywood storm, 'When the sunshine fades' captures the chaos of first love, broken pasts, and whispered prayers to Kanha." "This isn't just a high school romance it's a battlefield of unspoken feelings, stolen glances, and two souls who keep fighting, only to fall harder." ~by dodo 💌🦢

Raaz e ishq: prem ki deewangi by elysian_writsss

"Main galti nahi thi uski zindagi ki... Lekin phir bhi sabse mehngi saza main hi bani." ********************************************************** She didn't plan to fall in love with him. And he... was never allowed to feel anything back. But what do you do when the one person you're not supposed to love... becomes the only one who truly sees you? "Tum meri student ho." "Aur aap... meri adhoori dua." Aleezey was light - young, fragile, and full of dreams no one ever took seriously. Prem was silence - older, emotionally burnt, and chained by guilt he never named. Their story wasn't written in stars. It was carved in shame, stitched in stolen glances, and hidden between classroom walls. Everyone warned her. He warned her. "Main tumhe barbaad kar dunga agar tum paas aayi." "Phir barbaadi hi meri manzil sahi." This isn't a sweet love story. It's a forbidden obsession - one that crosses every line, questions every rule, and dares to exist in a world where it shouldn't. But when love starts feeling like your only truth... Can you really walk away from it? Some feelings aren't meant to be right. But they're impossible to forget. This is their Raaz-e-Ishq - And it will stay with you long after the last page.

She believed she had failed in everything she ever tried-whether it was friendship, being the perfect student, the ideal daughter, or winning the love of her crush. At just an 11th grader, she was already earning for her family by teaching younger kids. Balancing studies, responsibilities, and her own silent battles wasn't easy, yet she kept fighting. She was a - "Chahun mai ya na" girl. 𝜗𝜚 ࣪˖ ───── 𝐀𝐘𝐀𝐀𝐍 𝓞𝓫𝓮𝓻𝓸𝓲 ˙⋆. -Everyone saw him as nothing more than a rich, spoiled kid. But beneath those expensive jackets and that mask of a teasing smile, he carried scars he believed would never heal.

| What he considered divine felt like a sin to her. | An Indian Teenfic | Opposites attract, yeah, we get it. But what about people with similar minds but different morals and priorities? With conflicting beliefs and contrasting perspectives, wasn't it just impossible for them to have a home in this street, called 'love'? And to turn impossible into possible, one has to make a lot of sacrifices. Perhaps, adding a pinch of unfairness would help as well. *********************** Manasvi Mehta knew she was a pathetic mess. With her friends count being zero, her communication skills in negative, her anxiety and impulsiveness reaching its peak, and her sensitive heart leaking tears at the slightest harm to humanity. . .she knew she was not the kind to survive. She though it was a miracle that Bhavuk Thakur developed a liking to her. He seemed to appreciate every inch and depth of her. His compliments made her heart flutter; levitate her off the ground. For the tiniest time period, she thought she wasn't such a burden on Earth after all. She realised he was too good for her. He was better without her; confident and carefree. And for that, she leaves him. But he. . .well, let's just say that he had forgotten how to live without her.

Guarded Heart - Beneath Her Silence, Secrets Burn by TerraNova856

🌹 𝐆𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 She walks in like a shadow, carrying a weight no one sees. Aria doesn't ask for attention. She doesn't trust easily. Every glance, every smile, every gesture is guarded. She has built walls so high even the world feels small. Yet her quiet hums louder than anyone dares to hear. He notices. Shivansh Rawat. Calm, steady, protective - a presence that refuses to be ignored. He doesn't promise instant healing, only patience, understanding, a hand when the world feels heavy. He sees the cracks in her walls without them being shown. And even though she fights, she feels it: he might be the only person who won't break her. "Then let me earn it. Let me show you that love isn't a weapon, it's a shield." Love this intense ignites chaos, tests limits, threatens to break the fragile balance Aria has built. Some walls are harder to climb. Some hearts aren't ready to surrender, even when they want to. Around them is a circle that laughs, fights, teases, protects - a web of friendships that feels like family. Rohan and Avni clash, their fire hiding unspoken feelings. Akshat and Saavi tease, banter, and spark a connection that feels inevitable, warm, and dangerous in its subtlety. Aria doesn't just observe. She disrupts. Every glance, every touch, every silent question sparks reactions no one anticipates. Trust is a gamble. Love is dangerous. Secrets wait in the shadows, ready to surface when you least expect it. Some hearts fight to stay hidden. Some are waiting to be found. Some are broken in ways only the brave can understand. Guarded Heart will pull you in and refuse to let go. Every chapter hums with tension, every line aches with longing, every moment leaves you questioning: who will survive? Who will surrender? Who will finally let themselves feel? 💞 Slow Burn × Emotional Healing 🔥 Enemies to Lovers 🫶 Brother's Best Friend 🌸 Found Family & Fierce Friendships 📖 School Life × Secrets

$MAHFIL-E-ISHQ {A Tail Of Love And Devotion} by soya_beanxxq$

♡MAHFIL-E-ISHQ♡ ♡Shriyan Sharma♡ An introvert by nature, calm as a still lake, and ambitious like a boy who carries the weight of the stars in his eyes. A class 12th student who keeps to himself-until he's with his closest friends. Then? He's a whole different person - loud laughs, playful roasts, and the kind of charm that could melt the silence. For him, *rules aren't just rules - they're sacred*. "Discipline is peace," he says, with a straight face and a slightly smug smile. His first and only love? **Books.** pages over people. Ink over emotions. He's the class topper, the teachers' favourite - practically the school's golden boy. With the elegance of a prince and the discipline of a soldier, he unknowingly becomes the *crush of every hallway whisper*. But Shriyan Sharma doesn't even spare them a glance. *"Love? That's a distraction I can't afford."* and yet... destiny's about to test that very belief. -- ♡Siya Rajvansh♡ A full-time extrovert, part-time chaos queen, and mischief in human form - Siya, a class 11th student, believes life begins *only* when you start breaking the rules. > *"What fun is life if you follow the manual?"* Though she's a topper too, her brain operates like a backbencher's -sharp, curious, and always plotting her next move.She once made a deal with herself: **Never fall in love.** Because love? That's messy, complicated, and *so not her thing.* Until *he* walks in. Her calm, her opposite, her storm-silencer - **Shriyan Sharma**. Just one encounter with him and her carefully built "no-love" walls start cracking, brick by brick. And now? She's spiraling. Falling. Slowly. Beautifully. Helplessly. The more she tries to understand him, the deeper she falls. > *"He's like a closed book in a language I was born to learn."* she says. ♡But... will the prince of rules ever let a rule-breaker like her into his heart? Or is she just writing a love story in margins he'll never read?

REDRAWN BY FATE 🌙 by PoranasianPorapio718

Once, there was a boy who loved with all his heart. A love so simple, so pure - the kind that blooms in school corridors and ends with promises written in notebooks. He was a boy who longed for the love he lost - a father gone too soon, a heart half-empty. And when she came, he finally felt safe. But safety turned into fear... Fear of losing her, fear that his love itself was a curse. His love grew possessive - and her wings broke beneath it. One day, she left forever... And with her, she took the last piece of him. Years later, he married - not for love, but for duty. A woman who deserved the world... but was tied to a man whose heart belonged to a grave. Now, two souls live under one roof - one haunted by the past, and the other punished for a love she never received. This isn't a tale of love found - it's a story of love surviving - in silence, in distance, in pain and the art of letting go. "Having the person you love beside you isn't the only form of love. Sometimes... letting them go is. And I hope one day you'll understand, Aishwarya - I'm not walking away because I don't love you. I'm walking away because I can't bear to lose another person I love."

Whisper's of destiny by ashii_verse

🌌 Whisper's of Destiny 🌌 By @ashii_verse 🖤 "Some stories aren't meant to be told. They're meant to bleed through silence... and leave scars where no one sees." --- Avni. Soft. Subtle. Almost invisible to the world. But beneath her quiet grace lies a storm she's too afraid to name. She doesn't raise her voice. She doesn't ask for more. She simply exists - until he sees her. The man no one dares to look in the eye... yet she meets his gaze with trembling honesty. Rajveer. Sharp mind. Cold presence. A man who speaks less and controls more. He doesn't crave love. He craves silence, control, and order. But there's something about her - the way she lowers her eyes when he speaks, the way her fear doesn't hide her truth - that draws him in like a storm waiting to be unleashed. --- ❝ You look at me like I'm human, Avni... ❞ ❝ But I've spent my whole life making sure I'm not. ❞ ❝ And still... ❞ ❝ You make me want to be yours. ❞ --- This is not a love story. This is restraint and desire at war. A girl too soft for his world. A man too dangerous for hers. And a fate that ties them together - not gently, but violently. He doesn't know how to love. She doesn't know how to leave. And somewhere in the silence between them, something begins to burn... slowly, darkly, beautifully. ✨ Whisper's of Destiny - a haunting slow-burn of longing, power, and a love so quiet... it leaves nothing untouched. ---
