"Smoking is bad, you know." The placid voice speaks up from the distant dark corner, nothing to see but a tall silhouette and an orange glow of a cigarette cherry. "It's the least of my problems," I murmur with my own between my lips, proceeding to feel the stagnant debris valley my throat when I suck delicately. He exhales a chuckle of cynical amusement, his footsteps getting every step clearer to my eardrums until I eventually sense body heat burning my back. "And why is that?" He whispers over my shoulder, hands inviting themselves to grip the railing in front of me so I become a prisoner between his inked arms. I swallow.

Life with her smelled like fresh lemons with a bit of mint aside. Sour, yet gratifying, since it was the perfect combination. He could taste her love on the tip of his tongue. It savoured like just a baked sweet cinnamon roll with a little bit of chilli hidden inside. She knew how to make everything piquant but then calm the whole situation with her sweetness. Her euphonic giggles that echoed in his ears reminded him of a lullaby. The smell of her perfume was floating down the stairs. It scented like vanilla ice-cream cones under an October sky; benumbing but delicious. Her love made him feel like there was too much going on at once, yet it was so wonderfully simple, putting him at ease. But as much as love tends to be flowers, holding hands and cute dates, it's just one part of it. Sometimes it's about whether we should hold on or let go. There are times when letting go and making sacrifices means love.

It's senior year at Monte Carlston Prep and it's famous students are fighting for the coveted eight positions of SOAR: Seniors Overseas Achievers Retreat, a glamorous and respected semester abroad filled with the most enviable opportunities available in Europe. There's Kiara Satusky, rich and beautiful, a party girl haunted by a devastating tragedy. Then, her old best friend Astrid Flores, the sweet one, stifled by her demons of perfection and her past loves. The infamously intelligent Maya Singh, a no-bullshit girl who knows what she wants, suffocating under the sins of her father. And senator daughter Lola Westwood, the very definition of elegance but at a steep cost too that few people know and even fewer can stomach. As for the other four spots? Marco Wolfe, notoriously disgraced playboy who attracts trouble, and his best friend Noah Hermés, fashion royalty plagued by dark trauma and addicted to his vices. Perceptive, talented Gabriel Rubio, putting pieces together about his disappeared father. Lastly, new incomer from LA, Jaden Woods, an uprising athlete with a checkered story. SOAR brought them together. But as some of the richest teenagers in the world jet off, how will SOAR tear them apart? What will happen? Who will fall first? And most importantly, what will be revealed? Attraction, money, and secrets are a dangerous mix, bound for chaos... __ Inspired by: All Eyes on Us by Harpiche #9 in Abroad!

"Who's that over there?" The man looked at me like I was from outer space, or perhaps like I lived under a rock, maybe a mixture of both. "Him? They call him Full Throttle," he chuckled with a hint of nervousness in his voice. I scrunched my nose up in confusion. "Why?" The man threw his head back and laughed before answering me. "Because he doesn't hold back. He does everything at full speed... racing, girls, and-" the man cut himself off, seeking as though he was catching himself spilling a secret. "And what?" "Don't worry about it." THIS BOOK IS PURELY A WORK OF FICTION! The characters in it are in NO way a representation of the people chosen to play them.
