But she can't rest, not when she has a Student Council to run, a cheering squad to captain, and a play to direct. "I - I had something," he started, stammering a bit. Clearing his throat, Crisanta's boyfriend of two years continued, "I wanted to speak with you - it's about something important." She stayed quiet. "I, um," releasing a heavy breath, Tristan blurted, "I want to break up." "What?" ---------‐---------------------‐---------------------‐----------------- This year, 2021, was supposed to be Crisanta Espinosa's year. Until it wasn't. Until he left.

After the passing of the only matriarchal figure she ever had, Dierdre's life becomes nothing short of a nightmare. As if her foster father's grief-driven drinking problem wasn't enough, she has to deal with his new wife, who just has a talent for making her life hell, even more so, when her evil stepmother somehow convinces him to have Dierdre sent away to an obscure new school on the other side of the country, and Dierdre can do nothing about it. Upon arrival at this school, she immediately becomes suspicious: why are there so many CCTV cameras? Why are most of the kids in that school orphans? Why do students keep disappearing, each one after being invited for tea by a particular teacher? And what exactly are those awful noises heard echoing through the building each night? And then there's the "drop-dead gorgeous" guy who mysteriously turns up, a man straight, literally out of a dream she had had the night before she had come to the Academy, a secretive, aloof creature who seems to know more about her than she knows about herself. Where does he come from? Who is he? And how does he seem to know Dierdre's deepest secret, an abnormal talent she dare not expose? Things don't improve any when she catches feelings for this mysterious guy she can't fight off, try as she might, and they get worse when Gena, a beautiful, vivacious girl, seems to have woed him over ... All these things, the dark mysteries around the school, Dierdre's love interest and the secret of her true nature, comes together in one revelation: that destiny has chosen both of them for something neither of them had asked for, and they find themselves entangled in a spider's web of the shocking, yet intricate secret the school was founded upon ... for there is no fighting against fate ...

It was my time to smirk "Of me being a distraction to your focused self." "I like your confidence but you can't be a distraction to me." Saying he moved away from me.

I quickly turned away from him, to get the hell out of the room. But he caught my arm and pulled me back into his chest. Shit. Fuck. He buried his face in my hair, arms enclosing around me and whispered into my ear, ❝I thought things between us were getting better, is this how your gonna lie and ruin it?❞ I could feel him smiling against my ears, his fingers gently raking through my hair. I didn't reply. This is exactly the situation I didn't wanna get into, cause I know I melt when he says shit like that. ❝You gonna give up resisting me now?❞ His lips barely touching my ears.
