Mist Over Darjeeling

The hills of Darjeeling hide more than mist and rain.
At St. Elara's Academy, an elite boarding school perched above the clouds, every student competes for prestige, scholarships... and secrets.
Ira Sen has always kept herself careful, precise, brilliant - a scholarship student who writes poetry no one will ever read. New to the senior wing, she expects structure, routine, and normal first days.
Aarav Malhotra is the top student, debate captain, and impossible to read. Calm, distant, and untouchable - he moves through the corridors like he owns them, and everyone feels it, even those who barely notice him.
Two students. One campus. A rivalry that sparks quietly but burns slowly. Classes, competitions, dorm life - every corner of the school seems to nudge them together, whether they want it or not.
The hills are silent witnesses. Windows glow at odd hours. Shadows move where no one should be. Some prizes are worth more than marks... some secrets are better left untouched.
And in the mist, a forgotten promise waits - though she doesn't remember it, he hasn't forgotten.
