Impossible
New school. New faces. New chaos. When Jacob transfers to Crestwood High, he plans to keep his head down and survive the year quietly. But that plan doesn't last long not after meeting Kiena, the girl with the sharp words and the kind heart, and Lianne, her best friend who seems a little too eager to play matchmaker. Between unexpected friendships, teasing that feels a little too real, and late night talks that blur the line between "just friends" and something more, Jacob's world starts to twist in ways he never imagined. But what happens when friendship turns into feelings neither of them are ready to face? When one night one simple plan changes everything? Maybe love was never part of the plan. Maybe it's the unexpected that makes it unforgettable. 💗

The way he lingers. The way he whispers, "I won't let it happen again." Like he's chasing yesterday that she doesn't remember. Like he knows something she doesn't.
