Thanks to this awesome girly @fralachi_lover for the story idea and designing the title cover for me which looks awesome Josh Colley has one rule for his best friend: Don't touch my sister. Malachi Barton has spent years pretending that rule doesn't destroy him. Because Freya Skye has always been the one person he could never stop wanting - no matter how hard he tried. Freya knows falling for her brother's best friend is a bad idea. She knows sneaking around could ruin everything. But it's hard to stay away from someone who looks at her like she's the only person in the room. Especially when the almost touches start becoming real ones. Especially when late-night conversations turn into secrets. Especially when one mistake changes everything. Now Josh is starting to notice the tension between them. The stolen glances. The unfinished sentences. The way Malachi would do anything for her. And if the truth comes out, they could lose more than just their friendship. Because the closer Freya and Malachi get to each other... the closer they get to destroying the one person standing between them.

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.

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.

Credits to @fralachi_lover for the awesome title page which I love so much thanks girly love you 💞 Everyone thinks Malachi has the perfect life. He's popular, charming, talented - the golden boy everyone wants to be around. He smiles at the right moments, says the right things, and hides the shaking in his hands before anyone can notice. Because at home, nothing is perfect. Behind closed doors are screaming matches, slammed doors, and nights that leave Malachi counting breaths just to make it through. The panic attacks, the fear, the exhaustion - he hides all of it from everyone. Everyone except Freya Skye. Freya is known as the quiet girl. The one who keeps her head down, avoids crowded hallways, and never lets anyone get too close. Nobody knows that after losing her parents, she's been living alone with grief too heavy to talk about. She understands silence. She understands fear. And somehow, she understands Malachi before he even says a word. What starts as shared glances and late-night conversations slowly turns into something deeper - something neither of them expected. But as their connection grows stronger, so do the secrets between them. Because loving someone means letting them see the broken parts. And neither of them knows if they're ready for that.

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 used to live in New Jersey with her best friends Malachi and Kamri, but she hast to move to LA cause of her moms job. In LA she becomes a famous singer and all of her songs may or may not be about a special someone. When she moves back her and Malachi start to get cozy.. Do they like each other do they not?

To the world, Freya Skye is the untouchable princess of pop vocals: poised, talented, and fiercely private. Malachi Barton is the industry's golden boy: an actor, a musician, and the charming heartthrob adorning every teenager's wall. On camera, they are the perfect pair. Off camera, they haven't spoken a genuine word to each other in two years. A shared past, buried under NDAs and bitterness, turned them from childhood best friends into silent rivals. But when their respective management teams realize that merging their star power for a massive, co-headlining world tour is the only way to save both their struggling careers, Freya and Malachi are forced into the ultimate performance: pretending they don't hate each other. Trapped on tour buses and shared hotel floors, the script begins to fray. As the pressure mounts and old wounds reopen, they realize the only thing harder than faking a romance for millions of fans is denying the very real, terrifying electricity that still sparks when the stage lights go down. They have 80 cities to fake it till they make it or burn the whole stage down trying.

freya came to college to start over, not to let anyone in. After a toxic past, she trusts no one but herself. Then she meets malachi - steady, protective, and nothing like the people who broke her. He doesn't push. He doesn't control. He just shows up. Slowly, Freya learns that being held doesn't mean losing herself... and that some people stay because they care, not because they want power.
