In the noisy halls of their tenth-grade year, Kaliara and Vivienn created a world known only to them. It started quietly at the beginning of the semester, just a few shared glances and hushed conversations between classes. On the surface, they were from two different planets: Kaliara was a product of a wealthy, prominent family, her life a blur of private tutors and sleek, expensive cars. Vivienn, on the other hand, carried the scent of vanilla and the clatter of loose change in his pocket-money he earned selling stuff to help his parents run their small, overrated family restaurant called Zachwood restaurant.
As the weeks turned into months, their bond grew into a deep, unspoken friendship. Their connection was a secret, a quiet pact they never spoke of but always honored. When friends would ask why they always seemed to be near each other or what they were talking about, they would simply shake their heads. They endured endless prodding and begged inquiries, but no amount of curiosity could get them to betray their secret. Their clandestine friendship was a sanctuary-a private space where Kaliara could step away from the pressures of her world and Vivienn could find a moment of peace from the weight of his. In a school of a thousand eyes, they found refuge in the one person who saw them for exactly who they were, and not for where they came from.
