Callie Coastre has a busy life. She spends all of her time studying and helping out with the family business. Growing up with an Asian heritage, Callie's parents push her to be second to none. She has no time to go out with her friends and her parents wouldn't let her either. She knows all the tea and beef within her year group and with that information, she plays match-maker. Sadly, she's able to turn friends against each other and does more damage than intended.
Connor Hackling is invisible. He's popular but no one really talks to him, other than his well-known friends. They all play footy and they all are legends, but Connor is lacking. Instead of being a protegee in one sport, his skills are evenly balanced in all sports. And that sucks, he's just good. Not great, not excellent. He, unlike his friends, doesn't know how to talk to girls either. So when a girl compliments him on something he feels insecure about, he finds himself intrigued. He wants to know more about this girl but she's a year younger and in none of his classes.
Note: this is a story about toxic friendships, restrictions, salty bitches, tea, drama, beef and unrequited love aka basically my life.
Star is a different type of girl.
Ever since she got detached from her divorced, emotionally unavailable parents, she's been filling up her quiet, lonely world with music and dancing. She's practically a musical prodigy at 16 and music can't possibly be taken away from her. The only people she's ever been really close to are her psycho, over enthusiastic bff's. They're the only people she can tolerate anyway.
That's until one fateful day when she meets a cocky, narcissistic, though really cute guy at her favourite fro yo shop who gets under her skin for just being himself. She absolutely detests guys like him. Absolutely gorgeous, frustratingly charming, cocky as hell and shockingly talented at music.
That's right. Star discovers that this seemingly unbearable guy loves music almost as much as she does and just that single fact makes her heart soften a little so she lets her guard down for just a tiny bit.
But after that one moment that she decides to let it down, she realises that she can't get it back up again. She discovers she can actually feel things and once she acknowledges this, her whole world is completely changed from the quiet, peaceful, drama free life she has always been used to into a series of drama, heartbreak, tears, broken trusts and friendships.
