Friendlyteasing Histoires

Willow Maplewood has never been good at this whole "crush" thing. At thirteen, she's perfected the art of avoiding eye contact, overthinking every social interaction, and panicking whenever someone might be flirting with her. But when her best friend drags her to the school's Art Club, Willow's cautious world gets... complicated. Moon Nightstaff - fourteen, easygoing, hopelessly clumsy - is impossible not to notice. He's friendly, confident in front of crowds, and completely unaware that every time he smiles, Willow forgets how to speak. To make things worse? Ruby Lovelace is always nearby. Snotty, bold, and an expert flirt, Ruby isn't just Moon's friend - she actually likes him. And unlike Willow, Ruby knows exactly what she's doing. Between Diamond Aqua's relentless teasing, spilled paint, awkward silences, and an endless loop of blushing disasters, Willow's about to learn that navigating crushes might be as messy - and colorful - as art class itself.
