In the corridors of high school, life is a delicate balance of reputation, grades, and friendships. Still, when the lives of the Rathore and Oberoi families become very entangled, the result is a beautiful, chaotic formula no one saw coming. • Agastya × Suryanshi: The school's intimidating football captain hides his academic ambition behind a cool exterior, while the brilliant choir leader hides her longing behind her books until a slow-burn tutoring arrangement between them changes everything. • Deep × Tanya: The school's reckless, hot-tempered playboy meets his match in a disciplined, sharp-witted 10th-grader who refuses to be intimidated, sparking an instant "bully meets the girl who stands up to him" dynamic. • Sourab × Preeti: A gentle, rom-com-loving aspiring architect who dreams of real love walks right into the life of a guarded, introverted volleyball player healing from her past, trying to prove that safe and poetic love actually exists. My chapter's grammatical errors are modified using AI, but if there are still some errors I'm sorry for that.

A guy likes a girl but she doesn't like him back and it torments him. I am so tired. I cannot sleep. The thoughts of you keep me awake. I try to ignore them; I try to move on.

Another collection of poems from 8th-grade minds! These poems conclude our personal struggles, ups and downs, and friendships (with one another and others) throughout this year. We hope you enjoy and find special meaning for yourself in these poems. May you know that you are not alone and be helped if you are having a difficult year! Also, some of these poems are to each other (there are some that form a "mini poem series," if you will, but it's not stated if they continue each other), some are to other people, and others are just... by themselves. While some of these were inspired by someone, to someone, or about someone, all of these were important to us and have a special meaning. Most were about ourselves and our personal experiences, though. May you LOVE, and STAY with your KINDred!
