Kylie wasn't supposed to fall into old habits. Definitely not with her. But coming home for Christmas means coming home to Malia Baker-her ex-situationship, her almost-kiss, her biggest "what if." And somehow, Malia is even more gorgeous, more sarcastic, and more dangerously charming than Kylie remembers. One fight with her girlfriend Brynn sends Kylie spiraling straight back into Malia's orbit... where the teasing looks, late-night cuddling, and whispered jokes make it way too easy to forget all the reasons they never worked the first time. And Malia? She isn't subtle. She wants Kylie back-and she isn't hiding it. Between snowstorms, family dinners, drama with Brynn, and more almost-kisses than either of them can handle, Kylie finds herself pulled into a holiday romance she never expected... And maybe always wanted. 12/5/25 #1 Kylia #1 maliabaker

Malia Baker and Kylie Cantrall have been inseparable ever since they first met during auditions for Descendants: Rise of Red. Over the years, their on-screen partnership grew into an off-screen friendship that fans can't get enough of. Social media overflows with #Kylia edits, theories, and hopes that there's something more between them-but the girls always laugh it off, insisting they're just best friends. What no one knows is that Kylie's been keeping a secret. She's been in love with Malia for a long time. But after Malia once said their bond felt more like family, Kylie buried her feelings, afraid of losing the one person she can't imagine life without. Now, as the Descendants & Zombies: Worlds Collide Tour kicks off, Malia and Kylie are about to spend two months side by side-traveling the country, performing for sold-out crowds, and singing one of the most emotional duets of their careers. The closer they get, the harder it becomes to separate friendship from something more-and the whole world is watching. Is this the summer their story changes forever? Or will Kylie's secret stay hidden in the shadows of the spotlight?

Malia Baker's world shattered when she was 18. A devastating car crash took the lives of her parents and sister, leaving her completely alone. In the aftermath, she clung to Bryce, her boyfriend of a year, hoping he could fill the void. But when Malia discovered she was pregnant, Bryce proved he wasn't the person she thought - breaking up with her and kicking her out. With nowhere to turn, Malia used the money her parents left her to rent a small one-bedroom apartment. Grief consumed her, and her grades plummeted, causing her to be held back a year. 18 and three months pregnant, Malia finds herself in a new class - where she meets Kylie Cantrall. And for the first time in a long time... maybe she doesn't feel so alone.

Malia Baker thought junior year would be chill-hang out with her best friend, pass chemistry, avoid drama. That is, until Kylie Cantrall, Ruby Rose Turner, and Joshua Colley show up out of nowhere. Mysterious, pale, too perfect for real life... and always together. Everyone at school calls them "the Vamps." Malia just calls them suspicious. Especially Kylie-quiet, magnetic, and suddenly interested in Malia in a way that feels... deliberate. What Malia doesn't know? Kylie, Ruby, and Josh aren't just here for school. They're on a mission: choose three humans to turn into vampires before the year ends-or disappear again. It was supposed to be simple. Pick. Befriend. Turn. No feelings. No attachments. But Malia isn't like the others. And Kylie's starting to forget the rules.

basically malia and kylie end up in detention together after not speaking for 3 months.

Kylie and Malia are seventeen and in their final year of high school-a time that should be full of prom plans, college applications, and senior pranks. Instead, for them, it's the final chapter of a long-standing rivalry. Their moms are best friends and always dreamed their daughters would be just as close. Unfortunately, Kylie and Malia have spent their whole lives proving them wrong. Kylie, the town's golden girl, is a wildly popular influencer-but not the kind that lets fame go to her head. She's genuine, funny, and deeply rooted in her hometown, using her platform to lift others up rather than tear them down. Despite her online success, she's just a regular teenager with a tight-knit group of friends: Ruby, Josh, Jadah, Kiara, and Peder. Malia, on the other hand, is queen bee of the cheer squad. She's beautiful, sharp-tongued, and completely used to getting what she wants. To most, she's untouchable-just not in a good way. Her inner circle-Momona, McKenna, and Dior-rules the halls with ruthless confidence. Everyone knows Kylie and Malia despise each other. The tension is infamous. Their friends feud by default. The only truce is Dior and Jadah's unexpected relationship, which just adds more fuel to the fire. But as senior year drags on, something shifts. A brush of the hand. A glance that lasts too long. An insult that lands a little too soft. Kylie and Malia start catching themselves noticing each other for the wrong reasons-or maybe the right ones. Neither of them wants to admit it. Pride and years of hostility get in the way. Their friends would never let them live it down. Still, something keeps pulling them together. And when the masks finally slip, when the pretending gets too heavy to carry, Kylie and Malia are left facing a truth they've spent years avoiding: maybe they never really hated each other. Maybe they just didn't know how to want each other out loud.

Through the Walls follows Kylie, a popular soccer player with emotional walls she's built to protect herself, and Malia, a quiet girl who slowly begins to break through them. As their bond deepens, Kylie learns to trust and open up, discovering that love is about vulnerability and taking risks. Their journey is full of emotional growth, breaking barriers, and finding something real in each other, proving that love can flourish when walls come down.
