Odessa Bloom was everything the California sun touched. bright, thoughtful, untouchable in her quiet grace. She moved through high school halls like a daydream, all soft smiles and pressed cheer uniforms, never quite belonging to the noise around her.
Johnny Lawrence noticed her long before she noticed him.
Not because she was loud, but because she wasn't. Because she didn't look at him with fear or awe. She just... looked. Like he was someone worth seeing.
Their lives weren't supposed to intertwine. He was all sharp lines and broken rules; she was poetry folded into paper hearts. But somehow, in the golden hour between day and night, between who they were and who they wanted to be, they found something unexpected.
Not love. Not yet.
But something close enough to make them both believe.
