*EDITED VERSION*
Natalie never planned on changing-or falling in love-ever again. But when she meets Ashley, everything begins to shift.
At the start of a new year, Natalie arrives as the mysterious new girl at school, hoping to keep her head down and leave her past behind. As she slowly begins making friends and exploring new activities, she crosses paths with Ashley-the school's infamous bad girl. Confident, mischievous, and completely unbothered by rules, Ashley is known for her sharp teasing, intimidating smirks, and the kind of presence that makes everyone keep their distance.
From the moment they meet, tension sparks between them. What starts as rude remarks and playful taunts slowly grows into something deeper-something neither of them expected. As their complicated bond forms, both girls are forced to confront the shadows of their pasts while new dangers begin to emerge around them.
But, secrets don't stay buried for long, and in a place where trust is fragile and pasts refuse to stay in the past, Natalie and Ashley are forced to face a truth neither of them wanted.

Astrid

"Was it... about me?" "What would you say if it was?" I cocked my head to the side, our eyes staying connected with each other. "I wouldn't say." he moved closer to me, towering over by the slightest bit as his breath surrounded my every nerve. He leant down, took a sharp breath and connected our lips. - Astrid was a beautiful girl, who had lost her sense of who she was and where she belonged.
