Welcome to the future.

The United States is has been divided and everything has changed. The people are divided, too. Divided between the Les Boîtes, the conformists, and the Les Gris, the ones who do not fit in. Les Boîtes are given happy, tax-free lives during the day while Les Gris are forced to work at night, never to take part in the day, to pay the taxes that make the New Confederacy run.

Tannis Elliot knew she was doomed from birth. Still, she grew up striving to be like everyone else yet she could never escape the fact that she was never like everyone else, could never be like everyone else. She knows her punishment will be a death sentence- a slow, agonizing decline into an early death-through circumstances not of her own making.

A secret network links her to Isaac Jeppson, another Les Gris, who inspires others that now is their time to break free and cause the New Confederacy to collapse.

Will Tannis and her friends break free before they are broken?

93 parts Ongoing
"I wish I had never met you!" Deepika's voice echoed across the classroom, each word a dagger to my heart. "Excellent! At least we finally agree on something!" I fired back, even as a tear betrayed the storm of emotions within me. With those final, stinging words, Deepika stormed out, leaving a heavy silence in her wake. The classroom felt like a graveyard, and I stood there, rooted to the spot, desperately wishing I could chase after her and demand the truth. Maybe letting her go was the right choice. Perhaps this is meant to be my unfinished love story, a tale of what-ifs and almosts... ✨ No Deepika. This can't be his bike. Not Arjun's. But I couldn't deny what I saw-the familiar brown Royal Enfield, now twisted and crushed. My heart hammered as I circled around, hoping, praying it wasn't true, until my gaze landed on the number plate: TN56 0809. Arjun's bike. Deepika! Stop imagining things! Arjun would be fine! I felt the world shift, the noise around me blurring into a single, deafening hum. Ambulance and police sirens echoed, and a stranger's voice broke through: "Two boys. Spot dead. College students." I clutched my chest, gasping for air as reality slammed into me. "Arjun..." I whispered, barely holding myself together. Tears stung my face as I sank beside the wreck. "No, Please, No!" My voice cracked as the weight of regret settled in, suffocating me. ✨ Ex-Crush: More than just a crush, but a little less than love. ✨ Arjun and Deepika were hopelessly in love-only they never realized it. Will they find their way to each other, or will their love story remain forever unfinished? ✨ Join Arjun and Deepika on a journey back to those dreamy college days-days where every moment felt eternal, love was unspoken yet ever present, where friendship bloomed like wildflowers, offering a sanctuary from the harsh winds of reality. Come, wander with them through the corridors of college days, where the echoes of laughter still linger.
