When Lara Raj, global pop sensation and member of the rising girl group KATSEYE, stumbles into a smoky club bathroom after one too many drinks, the last thing she expects is to lock lips with a stranger. Even less expected? That the girl she's kissing - soft lips, sharp eyes, laughter like trouble - is just a college student. Y/N, a premed major at UCLA, is no pop star. She's tired, caffeine-addicted, and lives with two roommates in a cramped apartment in Westwood. Her life is labs, exams, and the occasional Friday night escape downtown - not secret trysts with an international idol.

Lara and Manon broke up almost a year ago. They agreed to be friends. For the group. To not make anything awkward. Lara was over Manon. She had to be. Because Manon moved on. But Manon was single now. And supposedly lost feelings are starting to resurface. So I wrote this based off a poem I wrote yesterday when I was being emo depresso Each line is a different chapter so chapters will be rather short 30 + chapters of Lara wanting Manon These lesbians Each line from the actual poem will be included and in bold, italic, and underlined in need be. Up to y'all to put two and two together.

The sequel to Golden After Dark They promised to keep their love private. But when a viral onstage moment threatens to expose them, trust starts to crack. Between Lara's skyrocketing fame and Y/N's demanding hospital internship, the line between performance and reality begins to blur. In the glare of the spotlight, can they hold onto what's real - or will the world watching pull them apart?
