(slow burn teacher x student story, with much side story stuff) Ripped from her old life and forced to start over in Vermont, Ivy Blake didn't plan on falling for anyone... especially not her gorgeous English teacher. But with a broken home and a heart craving comfort, catching feelings was kind of inevitable. Author's Note: This story generally follows a timeline, but some days and events may not line up perfectly. I focus on the important stuff (e.g., schedules, key character info), so smaller details might get a little messy. Please be kind if you notice slip-ups! You can let me know in the comments and I'll fix them. :)

True Story 🤫 The "Robot" has a glitch. For months, the hallways of the gym have been a silent battlefield. No one knows what turned him into a stiff, unyielding shadow of the man he used to be. No one knows why his voice turned to gravel or why the air around his desk became a "No-Go Zone." They just call it the Rocky Months-a period of heavy silence that seemed destined to last forever. Until the Sniper stepped to the line. With three shots that hit like javelins and a four-word defense that shattered his armor, the girl with the 10/10 Sincerity did the impossible: she reached the man underneath the mask. But as the clock winds down to the Final 24 hours before Spring Break, the reset has triggered something neither of them was prepared for. The "Sad Voice" is gone, replaced by a smitten radiance that feels like a warning. Now, with the school emptying out and the pressure mounting, they are heading toward a collision point. Is this a temporary glitch in his system, or the beginning of a Covenant that can't be broken? One day left. One last chance to claim the Grand Prize. The reset has begun... but the real story is just starting.
