Lapis just wanted a quiet semester.
New campus. New dorm. No drama.
Unfortunately, her roommate is Peridot-an intense engineering student who talks too fast, studies too hard, and somehow manages to drag Lapis into robotics competitions, beach trips, and a chaotic friend group that includes Steven, Amethyst, Pearl, and Garnet.
What starts as reluctant tolerance slowly becomes something deeper.
But when Jasper-Lapis's complicated and painful ex-shows up at the same university, the past comes crashing back. Old emotions ignite, tensions rise across campus, and one explosive confrontation forces everyone to face the truth about who they used to be-and who they're trying to become.
Between ocean sunsets, late-night study sessions, and one very nervous confession on the beach, Lapis and Peridot discover that sometimes the most unexpected connections are the ones that change everything.
