Alessia Martinez is the girl everyone watches but no one really knows. With a vape in one hand and a drink in the other, she's all black eyeliner and sharp comebacks. Partying is second nature, and chaos? That's her comfort zone. Matt Sturniolo's always been her ride-or-die-but it's his twin brother, Chris, that's becoming the problem. He's cocky, flirty, and always knows exactly how to get under her skin. And after one shared hit, everything gets a little more complicated. In a haze of smoke, alcohol, and late-night games, Alessia's walls start to crack-but falling for a player like Chris? That was never part of the plan.
