It's the first day back to highschool for Freya, little does she know...Malachi is gonna be a pain in her behind. He's the new boy, everyone obsesses over him. They hate each other from the start, but get to know each other more. Going to parties and stuff, helping with family and stuff, but then it turns into love.

At Westbridge High, everyone knows the golden boy. He's the star athlete, the teacher's favorite, the guy who smiles and the world bends around him. He's charming without trying, confident without apology, and used to winning - on the field, in class, and with people's hearts. Nobody says no to him. Nobody stays unimpressed for long. Until her. Freya moves through school like she doesn't care about the spotlight. She isn't interested in popularity, doesn't chase attention, and definitely doesn't fall for rehearsed smiles or practiced charm. Where everyone else sees perfection, she sees performance. And she refuses to clap for it. When the golden boy's ego takes a hit after she brushes him off more than once he makes a reckless bet with his friends he can make her fall for him It's supposed to be easy. Just another win. But what starts as a game becomes complicated when Freya refuses to play by anyone's rules. She challenges him, calls him out, and sees pieces of him no one else bothers to look for. For the first time, winning doesn't feel simple and losing doesn't feel like failure. As rumors spread, loyalties shift, and the line between fake and real starts to blur, the golden boy has to decide what matters more: keeping his perfect image... or risking everything for the one person who never wanted him in the first place.

❝ Promiscuous girl, wherever you are I'm all alone and it's you that I want ❞

Malachi had never believed in the idea of fate-not until the moment he first laid eyes on Freya. It wasn't anything dramatic. No slow-motion entrance. No perfectly timed background music. She was just there, quietly tucked into a corner of a bustling café, her attention fixed on a worn sketchbook and the lines she carefully traced across its pages. She didn't look around or try to be seen. She was completely content in her own little world-and that was exactly what made Malachi stop mid-step. There was something magnetic about her. The way she carried herself-calm, self-contained, almost unapproachable-wasn't from arrogance, but from an inner peace he couldn't quite understand. She wore headphones, one earbud in, the other draped over her shoulder like she couldn't decide if she wanted to be part of the world or escape from it entirely. To anyone else, she might have seemed like just another quiet girl minding her business. But to Malachi, she was an unanswered question he suddenly needed to solve. From that instant, it wasn't a matter of if he'd try to know her-it was how. Something in his gut told him this wasn't going to be easy. She didn't seem like the type to trust quickly. She had walls, and he could sense them. But something about her made him want to climb those walls, no matter how high they were. He hadn't even heard her voice yet. And still, Malachi knew: He needed to get close to her. He needed to know who she was. And he'd do whatever it took to make that happen.
