Johnny Kavanagh has always been the kind of boy people notice. He's loud, reckless, and impossible to ignore. With a reputation that follows him everywhere, Johnny has spent years making sure nobody gets close enough to see what's underneath it all. Then there's Aria Jacobs. She's quiet. Or at least, that's what everyone thinks. Aria keeps her head down, stays out of trouble, and rarely says more than she has to. But there's a side of her nobody sees. She's stubborn, sarcastic, and far from as innocent as she looks. Johnny isn't supposed to notice her. Aria definitely isn't supposed to notice him. But somehow, the quiet girl and the boy who never shuts up find themselves drawn together, piece by piece. And maybe Aria isn't the only one with something to hide.

Katie and Patrick are not dating. At least, that is what they tell everyone. They are not exactly friends either. There are stolen kisses, late night conversations, lingering touches, and enough tension between them to make everyone at Tommen wonder what is really going on. Katie knows she wants more from Patrick. The problem is, she has no idea if he wants the same thing. After one disastrous night at a party leaves Katie feeling rejected and questioning everything between them, she starts to wonder if she ever really understood what she meant to Patrick in the first place. Because Patrick says he likes her. He looks at her like he wants her. He kisses her like she means something. So why won't he make her his? Starts in 2003, before either of them is ready to admit what is happening between them, Katie and Patrick find themselves caught somewhere between friendship, attraction, and something neither of them knows how to name. Everyone has their suspicions. But nobody knows the truth.

𝓡𝓸𝓼𝓮 𝓑𝓲𝓰𝓰𝓼 was trouble - scratch that - she was Tommen's trouble. 𝓐𝓙 𝓛𝔂𝓷𝓬𝓱 was her complete opposite. Quiet, smart, responsible, and painfully good at following the rules. They've known each other their entire lives. Rose thinks AJ is boring. AJ thinks Rose is a walking disaster. But when new crushes, old relationships, jealousies, and school drama get thrown into the mix, staying just friends becomes a lot harder than either of them expected. This isn't boy meets girl. This is chaos meets control. And sometimes, the person you've known forever becomes the person you never saw coming.
