Freya and Malachi had known each other since the day they were born. Their moms had been best friends for years, so the two of them grew up side by side. They were each other's first best friend, and everyone believed nothing could ever separate them. But when Freya was forced to move to London, everything changed. Years later, one unexpected change brought her back to Los Angeles... Back to the boy she never forgot. Only, Malachi wasn't the same boy she had left behind.

Freya Skye is a public relations (PR) sports major, and completely off limits. With a fresh broken heart, she's sworn off guys forever. After her ex, Josh Oliver, who broke her heart and left her in shambles, she has set herself to the standard, and she will never, EVER, even look in the direction of another hockey player. That is, until smug, sexy, and talented Malachi Barton meets her in the bathroom at his hockey house's victory party. What he thought was just another lonely puck bunny looking for a hookup, was a girl trying to mend her broken heart and be herself again. When Freya's PR professor assigns a project to rebrand a struggling campus organization, and of course, Freya gets stuck with the hockey team. The one thing she's been trying so hard to avoid. Now, stuck together and constantly getting in each other's ways, Freya and Malachi must learn to fight or give into this growing attraction between them. What starts out as a friends with benefits, no-strings-attached, hookup, slowly turns into something more. Something dangerous. And it scares the hell out of both of them. Will they let the lines blur or keep painting in a straight line down?

Maisie Lynn Morgan, a girl on vacation in California with her sister and brother, expecting nothing more than late night snacks, and quiet adventures. But everything changes at a midnight stop in a gas station when she collides with a stranger- and ends up with coffee spilled all over her hoodie. Instead of getting angry, Maisie laughs it off, teasing the boy for drinking coffee at such an odd hour. What she doesn't realize is that the clumsy stranger is actually Malachi Barton- Disneys golden boy, a rising star everyone recognizes... except her. That accidental moment sparks an unexpected connection, setting off a change of events neither of them saw coming.

Freya and Malachi are total strangers until a coffee incident has them head over heels for each other only problem.. he forgot to give her his number....

Malachi and Freya have been neighbours for four years, and for just as long, Malachi has made it his mission to tease her every chance he gets. Freya acts like she can't stand him, rolling her eyes and firing back whenever he annoys her, but deep down, she's had a tiny crush on him since the day they met. Malachi has a reputation for being a player, always with a new girl every week, but Freya has always been different. He has a soft spot for her, even if he'd never admit it. What Freya doesn't know is that Malachi has liked her too, but instead of telling her, he hides it behind teasing, smirks, and pretending she doesn't mean as much to him as she really does.

It's the first summer the Barton family opens their summer house to friends, and everything feels new in the best way. Freya and her dad, Mike arrive while her mom, Sarah stays in London for work. Freya steps into a whirlwind of Barton‑family warmth and group chaos, but it's Malachi who makes her pause. They've known each other for years, but something about this summer feels different. Between pool nights, sunlit mornings, and the soft shift from friendship into something deeper, this becomes the summer that starts it all.

Freya thought college was supposed to be a fresh start. New campus. New friends. New life. The only thing she didn't expect was being assigned the same dorm room as the one person she couldn't stand. Malachi. Her high school rival. The boy who challenged her in every class, stole her spotlight whenever he could, and somehow always knew exactly how to get under her skin. Now they're forced to share a tiny dorm room for an entire year. Between late-night arguments, competitive study sessions, and constant bickering, Freya is counting down the days until she can escape him. There's just one problem. The more time Malachi spends with Freya, the harder it becomes to ignore the way his heart races whenever she's around. And when other guys start showing interest in her, he realizes he's feeling something far more dangerous than rivalry. Jealousy. Meanwhile, Freya finds herself questioning whether she really hates him as much as she claims. With MK and Kylie determined to play matchmaker and Malia, Josh, and Dara desperately trying to stop them before things get awkward, college life quickly turns into chaos. Because sometimes the line between love and hate is thinner than anyone realizes. And sometimes your biggest rival becomes the one person you can't imagine living without.

Freya never expected the *Descendants: Worlds Collide Tour to change her life the way it did. For six months, she travels the world with a close group of castmates-Malachi, MK, Kylie, and Malia-living in a fast-paced blur of rehearsals, performances, and backstage chaos. From the outside, it looks like a perfect, inseparable group. From Freya's perspective, everything feels simple at the time. She doesn't notice the quiet shifts happening beneath the surface or the changes in relationships she was never made aware of. Over the course of the tour, she develops feelings for Malachi-unspoken, undefined, and never confessed. Fans begin shipping Fralachi, turning their on-stage chemistry into edits and theories, but Freya never confirms anything and assumes it is just fandom imagination. After DZWCT ends, everything breaks apart in silence. Malachi suddenly cuts off communication with Freya without explanation, leaving her hurt and confused. Around the same time, hidden relationship shifts happen within that same circle-Kylie and Malachi briefly date during the tour, and later Malachi and Malia begin something after the tour ends, while Kylie steps away from both. Freya, left without closure, channels everything into music. Her song Stardust becomes the first public glimpse of her emotional world. Malachi reposts it without comment, but Freya chooses not to repost his support, marking the beginning of her emotional distance from him. That leads into her Stars Align Tour, where her music becomes deeply personal and reflective of unresolved hurt, anger, and confusion tied to Malachi's silence and disappearance from her life. Now, Freya is heading to New Zealand for Zombies 5. The returning cast includes MK, Sway, Julian, and Malachi, alongside a new cast entering the franchise for the first time.
