Noelle Ellis and Sebastian Sallow just can't understand each other's feelings after their fifth year. Republished Book.

El destino se esconde en los lugares más simples: en una palabra, al azar, en una mirada que dura un segundo más de lo esperado, en una risa que no se olvida. Así empezó nuestra historia, sin advertencias, como un susurro que pronto se convirtió en tormenta. Había algo en él que me desarmaba, un peligro dulce, un vértigo inevitable... y yo, aun sabiendo que podía perderme en su abismo, estaba dispuesta a saltar.

Spending your days with Steven and Dennis felt like the best kind of dream-the kind you never wanted to wake up from. There was something golden about those afternoons, the way time slipped by unnoticed as you wandered the streets, kicking empty cans down cracked pavements, laughing at nothing and everything. Those boys, with their wild ideas and stupid jokes, made life feel electric-like something was always just about to happen. At first, it was awkward, sure, but it didn't take long before you were part of the gang, another voice in the chorus of their chaos. You felt seen, like you belonged. For once, life felt full-charged with promise and possibility. Until that day. The day everything changed. The day your life gave it a twist without a warning, like a needle skipping off a record. You didn't see it coming-how could you? One moment you were riding the high of youth, and the next, something shifted. Subtle at first, but it left a mark. A crack in the surface of things. And from that point on, nothing ever felt quite the same.
