At the prestigious Hohenberg International Boarding School in Germany, students from all over the world come to chase their futures. For 16-year-old Aubrey Halton, it's supposed to be a fresh start - new school, new people, and a chance to leave her complicated past behind.
But everything changes the day she meets her new roommate.
Sebastian Wang has just arrived from China. Quiet, observant, and carrying secrets he never talks about, Sebastian wasn't expecting to share a room with someone like Aubrey - outspoken, curious, and impossible to ignore. At first, they're nothing more than strangers forced to live in the same small dorm room, clashing over everything from study habits to late-night lights.
Yet slowly, between midnight conversations, shared struggles with school, and the loneliness of being far from home, something begins to grow between them.
A connection neither of them planned.
But some stories aren't meant to be simple. Different cultures, family expectations, and rules that could get them both expelled begin to close in around them. The closer Aubrey and Sebastian become, the more they realize that what they feel might come with a price they can't afford.
In a place meant to build their futures, they must face the hardest truth of all:
Some loves change your life forever...
even if they were never meant to happen.
