𝐚 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐲 𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐮𝐩 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝. 𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐝: matcha kim, the it girl of the upper side west, the queen of manhattan's elite, and freshly dumped by her boyfriend and her best friend. that's right, heartbreak just double-parked in her chanel flats. but don't cry for our princess... she's not the type to spiral. she's the type to scroll. one random tumblr model, one impulsive instagram story, and suddenly matcha's "new boyfriend" is the hottest mystery on campus. too bad he's real. and too bad he saw it. enter riki: leather jacket, no social life, permanent sunglasses, and somehow... very real. he's not amused. but he is curious. and maybe a little too hot for his own good. now matcha's fake love life is becoming a little too real. her ex is spiraling, her enemies are lurking, and that boy from pinterest? he might be the only one who sees the real her beneath the glitter. in a world of glossy secrets and filtered facades, one anonymous voice is watching-and trust me, she's keeping receipts. xoxo, gossip girl.

"is someone telling me don't get in the water? what have i done?" he was one grade away from being kicked out. she was one pay check away from giving up. it was as simple as that. tutor the troubled kid. help him get off academic probation and we'll pay you. what could be the harm in that? besides, she wasn't never one to get tangled up with boys like him. cold eyes, dark clothes, the scent of cologne and cigarettes. they were too different. two lives running on parallel tracks, never meant to intersect. but somewhere in the chaos, the clashes and the contradictions, they found something in common: their fear of drowning.
