The silence between us

Nerissa's second semester was supposed to be uneventful early mornings, late nights, and dodging drama with her best friends. But everything changes when she locks eyes with a mysterious girl with a stare that feels like it's peeling back layers of her soul.
What starts as an ordinary morning spirals into something far more complicated. Who is this mysterious girl, and why does she feel so familiar? As Nerissa's friends push her to step out of her comfort zone, whether it's open mic nights or navigating Camilla's endless romantic entanglements, she finds herself drawn deeper into a world she never expected.
Secrets, lingering glances, and a connection she can't explain are set against the backdrop of a college campus where nothing is as simple as it seems.
Will Nerissa figure out who this girl is, or will her curiosity pull her into something darker than she bargained for?
