CHASING YOUTH
Alia Celestia Faye Baldwin, known as Eia (and occasionally called Baldwin by her fellow officer), is her family's goal-oriented and responsible golden girl. Since birth, she has set her eyes on ivy leagues and the promise of becoming her father's successor. On the other hand, Aziel Ezmir Zyair Grimaldi, better known as Az, is a happy-go-lucky and carefree person who can't seem to get out of Eia's life. From student council meetings to summer plans, they were always together.
As they end their final year of high school, Eia and Az, along with their two other friends, must choose between colleges while learning how to navigate through love, dreams, and their seemingly ending youth before the summer ends and a new chapter of their lives begin.

TW - sensitive topics This story contains a lot of references to addiction (alcohol and drugs), and as the chapters progress, they will become more serious. Furthermore, the main character (Mia) suffers from diagnosed chronic anxiety, which I have portrayed to the best of my own experience. All characters, places, and events are fictional (products of my imagination only). Protected story.Complete
