At Blackwood Academy, excellence isn't just expected-it's demanded. Known for producing some of the brightest minds, the school is a battlefield where only the strongest thrive. Kylie Cantrall rules Blackwood's social scene with a sharp tongue and an iron fist. She has the looks of an angel and a voice to match, but one wrong move around her, and you'll wish you never existed. She's ruthless, feared, and-unfortunately for her-under constant pressure. Her father, Principal Cantrall, expects nothing less than perfection, and he won't tolerate failure. Then there's Malia Baker, Blackwood's golden girl. Top grades, flawless reputation, and a face that could bring anyone to their knees. While Kylie claws her way up the academic ranks, Malia sits comfortably at the top, her record unshaken, her success effortless. And Principal Cantrall? He adores her. Which only fuels Kylie's hatred. Kylie has spent years trying to outshine Malia, but no matter how hard she tries, Malia's grades remain untouchable. So she turns to other methods-pranks, sabotage, even stealing boyfriends and girlfriends-anything to knock Malia down a peg. But Malia isn't one to be walked over. She fights back just as hard, turning their rivalry into something legendary. Then Kylie's world shatters. Something happens-something she won't talk about-and after that, her grades start to slip. Math, of all things. Her father is furious. His punishments are brutal, and this time, he's done playing games. His solution? Kylie is forced to move into the school dorms. The worst part? Her new roommate is Malia Baker. Trapped under the same roof, their rivalry is bound to explode. But as the lines between hatred and something else start to blur, they're left with one question-will they destroy each other, or will something unexpected bloom in the chaos?

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.

Kylie and Malia are stepping into a brand new chapter of their lives-together. With half of their friend group still in New York and the other half, including Josh, Kiara, Ruby, Dior, and Jadah, now in California with them, the couple is learning what it means to start over. After Kylie's heartfelt proposal, the two are newly engaged, navigating love, change, and uncertainty under the California sun. But even as they leave behind the Venezuelan estate and everything it held, Kylie can't quite shake the past. It lingers-shadowing her quietly-and though she tries to keep it buried from everyone, the weight of it threatens to resurface. Still, neither Kylie nor Malia knows how this new chapter will unfold, or how they'll find their way through it. All they do know is this: whatever comes next, they're in it together.

Five years after vanishing from her old life, Kylie lives in quiet luxury in Venezuela - in the mansion her grandmother left her, surrounded by Ruby, Xo, and a whirlwind of beach parties, flirtation, and freedom. On the surface, she's thriving: confident, untouchable, and finally at peace after years of therapy, medication, and unspoken guilt. She jokes. She flirts. She hoards secrets like currency. But she hasn't stopped looking over her shoulder. And she hasn't stopped thinking about Malia. While Ruby finds steady love in Morgan, and Xo juggles girls with chaotic charm, Kylie drifts between casual flings - including Kiara and Alexandro, who seem locked in a quiet war for her attention. But her heart, guarded as ever, still belongs to the one girl she walked away from to keep her safe. It happens on a humid afternoon in a crowded Caracas street market - loud with music, thick with spice, heat, and color. Kylie isn't looking for anything. She's just wandering, sunglasses on, head in the clouds, Kiara a few steps behind, half-listening to a vendor shouting about mangoes. Then, through the blur of people - she sees her. Malia. Hair longer, posture looser, tan from travel. Dressed like someone who belongs to the world now, not just one place. She's smiling at something a local artist is saying, unaware of the storm she's just walked into. Kylie freezes. The world doesn't slow down - it keeps moving, loud and busy - but she can't hear a single thing. Her heart is somewhere in her throat, somewhere in the past. She feels it all at once: the guilt, the love, the ache she never really let go of. Kiara's voice fades behind her. The present blurs. And then - Malia turns. Their eyes meet. Five years collapse in an instant. Neither of them moves. Neither of them smiles. But everything between them... ignites again. If love is still there... is it ever really too late?

Malia is coming back from summer break, expecting the same old stuff. But after she see's Kylie again for the first time in months... everything changes.

Kylie Cantrall and Malia Baker were once inseparable - childhood best friends with matching bracelets and late-night video calls that never ended in goodbyes. But everything changed the day Malia disappeared without a word. No texts. No explanations. Just silence. Two years later, Malia's back - colder, sharper, and with a mysterious edge that Kylie doesn't recognize... or trust. The betrayal still burns in Kylie's chest, and it doesn't help that Malia acts like she never cared in the first place. Tension sparks the moment they reunite. The hallway stares. The biting remarks. The undeniable chemistry. What neither of them wants to admit is that under the bitterness lies something unspoken. Something real. But with old wounds, buried secrets, and their tight-knit friend group caught in the crossfire, Kylie and Malia must decide: will they let the past define them, or risk everything for what might still be burning between them? Enemies by fate. Lovers by choice... if they can survive each other first.
