This ain't no fairytale. It's love, lies, late-night texts, and loyalty being tested. If you ever loved somebody you was supposed to let go of... this one's for you. ! *Not finish* *excuse mistakes*

Maliyah Jade "MJ" isn't here for distractions. School's just a stepping stone to getting her credits and building her hair business. She doesn't need friends, and definitely doesn't need any more complications. Kairo's in town for one thing: basketball. After transferring from Houston, he's focused on making a name for himself and proving he belongs. The last thing he's looking for is someone to distract him. But when they meet through a friend group, something clicks. It's not love at first sight. They're both too guarded for that. Still, their connection grows - quiet moments in between the noise of high school life, late-night talks, shared playlists, and stolen glances that turn into something neither of them planned for. But when real life starts testing them, they'll have to decide: Is this just a fleeting moment, or something worth holding on to? In a world where forever feels like a fantasy, Kairo and MJ will discover that sometimes, love doesn't ask for permission. It just happens. Read More to find out!!
