And this time, I won't break. TW: Mental Health, Bullying

Alexander is this untouchable, emotionally walled-off twenty-seven year old Principal with a dangerous amount of control-until she walks in. Her quiet stares, her soft presence-it eats at him. He doesn't even know why he notices her at first. But he does. Constantly. And it pisses him off because it makes no sense. She's just a student. But then she keeps showing up in his head. Every goddamn time. Madeline, on the other hand, crushes on him quietly-nothing crazy, just those little heart-squeezing moments like when he walks into a room and her breath catches. She keeps it hidden, never says a thing. But maybe she starts to notice the way he watches her. Just a second too long. Just a bit too intensely. ~~~ "He wasn't just her principal. He was a lesson in obsession." "One hallway. One glance. One rule-breaking love." "She wasn't meant to fall for him. But she always had a thing for the ones who wore power like a second skin." "Some rules exist to be shattered. Just like the walls he built around his heart."
