​highschool Stories

This story is thriller mystery and full of comedy

Maya Collins is a girl made of deadlines, highlighters, and a future she's mapped out down to the last second. She doesn't have time for distractions, and she certainly doesn't have time for Logan Vance. ​Logan is the kind of storm you don't survive. As the star of Northwood High's swim team, he's a god in the water and a ghost on land-smelling of chlorine, expensive tobacco, and secrets that could burn the whole town down. He's untouchable, unreachable, and currently failing the one class that stands between him and a scholarship. ​When the principal forces Maya to tutor him, it's not just a clash of worlds. It's a chemical reaction. ​Between the sterile silence of the library and the humid, heavy air of the locker rooms, a dangerous game begins. Logan wants to see how far he can push the "perfect" girl before she cracks. Maya wants to find the boy beneath the scars and the cynicism. ​But in the hallways of Northwood, secrets are currency. And with Amber Thorne-the school's golden girl with a heart of ice-watching their every move, one wrong breath could cost them everything. ​In a world of static, they are the only thing that feels real. Even if it's a reality that's destined to go up in flames.
