SPRING FRICTION
Through Every Season, Book One
By Aurelia Reads
In the ruthless halls of Xandos Academy, your rank isn't just a number on a board-it's your entire worth, your family's legacy, and the only thing standing between you and failure.
Aurelia Del Valle was born to be Rank 1.
Grandfather: Rank 1.
Mother: Rank 3.
She has the color-coded planner, the 5:20 a.m. wake-up calls, the flawless notes, and the iron will to match. Distractions are for people who can afford to fall. Aurelia cannot.
Until Reid Lozano enters.
He's the boy who leans against pillars like he owns the air around him, the one who makes the whole school lean in just to hear him laugh. When he starts dating her new best friend Vina, Aurelia tells herself he's irrelevant. A variable. Noise.
She's wrong.
Because one day the Rank Board drops, hearts shatter, and Reid looks Aurelia dead in the eyes in the middle of a crowded corridor and says the words that change everything:
"I broke up with her because I have feelings for you."
What follows isn't a love story.
It's a collision.
A friendship that fractures under the weight of truth.
A perfect girl who suddenly doesn't know who she is without her perfect grades.
And a boy who proves that some distractions don't just ruin your rank-they ruin the version of yourself you spent years building.
In a world where numbers decide your future, how much are you willing to lose for the one person who makes you feel something real?
Spring Friction - where ambition meets attraction, perfection meets chaos, and one wrong glance can topple an entire legacy.
For the girls who were always two rows ahead...
and for the ones who finally looked back.
Ready to feel the friction?
Start reading. The Rank Board is waiting.
