*Aria Blake had two rules: Never be late. Never be alone.*
She broke both before 8am.
Jefferson High's sweetheart should have taken the Mercedes. Instead she took the bus, and ended up cornered by jealous seniors, bleeding on wet concrete.
No one helped. Except him.
Theo Bennett. The new transfer student with scuffed sneakers, a thrift-store backpack, and teachers who already adore him.
He doesn't know she's the richest girl in school.
She doesn't know he's the heir to Bennett Corp.
He just knows she's hurt. And that she looked at his hand like no one had ever offered to help her before.
She's everyone's favorite. He's no one's first choice.
But when the nobody saves the queen, the whole school starts watching.
*Trope:* Hidden heir x Popular girl
*Featuring:* Bullying, secret talents, slowburn, "he fell first", found family, secret singer
*Warning:* Theo Bennett has an angelic voice and zero plans to use it. Until Aria hears him.
