Never expressing what he felt, yet he was so angry at everyone for not noticing. Angry at himself for not expressing anything. Angry about the circumstances he was forced into. Then he meets her. Aaliyah, the girl whose eyes sparkled with adoration when he came around. The girl whose actions were never malicious, radiating kindness everywhere she went. When he loses her, he stays quiet, packaging himself into a persona that's easier for people to digest. Until Isaac sees Aaliyah again. Until he has a chance to make things right. Until Isaac gets the person who never once made him feel small or misunderstood. The person whom he thinks he could be with for 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲.

When a suburban Black girl meets a hard life Hispanic boy.

An average high school love story.

Analeia Miller's life was simple-cheer, school, repeat-until the boy next door showed up with tattoos, a smile that made her nervous, and a habit of showing up when she least expected it. Issac Cruz is new to Maple Creek, trying to start fresh, but he didn't plan on the girl with the soft laugh and stubborn heart. She's sunshine. He's quiet storms. And sometimes, love moves in before you're ready for it.
