Armyof Stories

When Laurel Bennett transfers to Thomas Jefferson High, she expects to spend her first year alone. Instead, she's introduced to the entire class and seated beside Andre Kriegman and Cal Gabriel-two quiet, inseparable friends known throughout the school as the "Army of Two." At first, Andre and Cal keep their distance, speaking only when they have something worth saying. But as Laurel slowly earns their trust, the trio forms an unlikely friendship that students soon nickname the "Army of Three." Between afternoons in the library, long walks home, and quiet conversations, the three discover that they understand each other better than anyone else ever has. But when anonymous messages begin spreading fear and suspicion throughout the school, rumors quickly turn classmates against one another. Determined to uncover the truth, Andre, Cal, and Laurel must rely on their growing friendship to navigate a web of secrets, misunderstandings, and hidden motives. Army of Three is a slow-burn psychological coming-of-age story about loneliness, trust, and finding the people who stand beside you when everyone else turns away.
