Skylar Kennedy knew exactly what she wanted to do, and exactly how she was going to get it done. Pinterest boards full of research on astrophysics, and saving up money to buy a telescope was only the beginning. She had a plan, and she was determined to make it work, despite the fact that her spiralling anxiety is trying to convince her otherwise. Aiden Park hadn't the slightest inclination of what he was going to do. An earth-shattering incident left his entire life in shambles, and he was left trying his best to put the pieces back together. Two completely different people, former best friends, had not a clue of their worlds intertwining. But it was up to them to decide if their paths were going to get tangled into one or diverge in two different roads.

❝A gender-switched, urban Cinderella Retelling❞ Violette Murphy had everything, but now she has nothing at all. The death of her best friend has left her life dangling at the edge of a thread, threatening to break apart at any moment. However, when presented with an opportunity to go to her school's masquerade ball, she can't help but take it up. The sole reason for her going was to take her mind off of her disastrous existence; she most certainly did not expect to develop an unlikely friendship with a socially-awkward boy. Hidden behind their masks, they form a connection that neither of them expects can happen. But at twelve o'clock, her mask comes off. And at twelve o'clock, the boy runs away. [ This is a rewrite of the original novel I wrote when I was much younger, with better characterization and plot structure ]
