But as September nears, reality creeps in, and a bitter fallout leaves them parting on cold, unresolved terms.
Back home, Daphne files the entire mess under "Italy: do not reopen." That is, until Principal Wells asks her to show the new student around,his nephew, no less. And to her horror, it's him. Leonardo Martin, with the same maddening smile and irritating charm, now roaming the same halls she calls her escape.

Your Perfect Girl
"𝑁𝑜 𝑜𝑛𝑒 𝑤𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝑙𝑜𝑣𝑒 𝑚𝑒 𝑖𝑓 𝐼'𝑚 𝑛𝑜𝑡 𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑓𝑒𝑐𝑡." Daphne Calbot had everything a high school girl could want. Gorgeous, rich, popular, she's the girl everyone envies! Except, of course, maybe Daphne herself. Kane Hopkins, on the other hand, is Summerset's resident robot. As student council president and valedictorian, Kane is all crisp shirts and cold stares. He lives by his color-coded schedules and has exactly zero patience for cheerleaders who think glitter cannons are a good idea. To him, Daphne is pure chaos. To her, Kane is allergic to fun. So naturally, when they're forced to co-plan the biggest pep rally of the year, things get... messy. Between flying pom-poms, glitter debates, and one very dramatic fall from the cheer pyramid (which Kane may or may not have caught her from like a rom-com hero), these two opposites can't seem to stay away from each other. And the more time they spend together, the more Daphne realizes Kane isn't just a robot-he's the only person who sees past her perfect mask. And for Kane? Daphne might be the only chaos he's willing to let into his perfectly controlled world. But with past traumas, pushy quarterbacks, and a whole school watching their every move, can the golden girl and the boy genius figure out their feelings before it's too late?
