They had known each other once, in the way kids on a small island inevitably do. Birthday parties. Beach days. Then the world told them. Now, when their paths crossed, it was all snarled words and sideways glances. A war of silence and stolen looks, laced with something neither of them dared name. But even the most dangerous storms start as a ripple. And one summer... something shifted. He looked at her like he saw through the perfect. She looked at him like she wasn't afraid to fall. The island was split. But they were already standing on the fault line. FEM OC x JJ MAYBANK.

𝙄 𝙆𝙉𝙊𝙒 𝙔𝙊𝙐 𝙒𝙀𝙍𝙀 𝙒𝘼𝙔 𝙏𝙊𝙊 𝘽𝙍𝙄𝙂𝙃𝙏 𝙁𝙊𝙍 𝙈𝙀. Stella Marx had everything figured out. She was going to graduate at the top of her class, get into a good university, and go to medical school, just like her mother. She had every advantage and friends that would support her along the way. The feelings she had for JJ Maybank could wait - if she ever decided to acknowledge them. JJ, on the other hand, had nothing to lose. He had grown up under the shadow of his father's bad reputation and was fully prepared to be defined by it. The only redeeming factor about his life would be the part he played in his best friend's rise to success, and the love he secretly held for her. When John B's father went missing, neither of them knew the chain of events that would take place or the lengths their loyalties would be tested. And if Stella and her friends knew what they were getting into when they stumbled upon a sunken shipwreck, they probably would've brushed up on their treasure hunting skills.
