32A – The Bus That Carried My Crush

The story begins at a busy Chennai bus stop where Oliver Ferdanz, a shy Class 10 student and 100m sprint champion, waits daily with his two best friends, Koushik (the joker) and Faran (the philosopher). At the same stop arrives Jessica Thamilselvi, a bold and outspoken +2 student from the opposite girls’ school, always accompanied by her cheerful younger cousin Jenny. While Oliver secretly admires Jessica, she quickly notices his nervousness and begins teasing him—especially about his sports bag and running talent. Jessica’s sharp one-liners and Jenny’s playful comments make Oliver blush, while his friends never stop pulling his leg. The 32A bus stop, with its chaos of conductors, vendors, and honking autos, slowly turns into the stage for this teenage comedy. For Oliver, it’s no longer just about catching the bus—it’s about catching stolen glances, hiding his feelings, and surviving Jessica’s teasing, all while his heart races faster than his 100m sprint.
