Ellie Blando was shocked as the ball slammed into her cheek with force. The ringing in her ears confirmed the impact, followed by a burning sensation on her skin. Her eyes widened as the pain slowly registered. Today was supposed to be her first day at the new school, and she had rehearsed all morning how to make a good first impression. Now, it was all ruined. Amidst the laughter echoing in the classroom, Ellie's gaze landed on Jeremy Diaz, a tall, dark-haired boy with tousled hair and grey eyes-the culprit of her misfortune. Jeremy walked towards her, looking apologetic, but Ellie's embarrassment hardened into dislike. She cursed him silently under her breath. When Ellie scanned the room further, her attention was drawn to Charlie Alvarez, and in that instant, she wished the floor would swallow her whole. He stood out as a sleek, refined student council member who had not only caught her eye but also come to her aid during the incident, igniting a flutter in her heart. He was her secret crush. Will Ellie overcome her pessimism to build new friendships? Can Charlie and Jeremy mend her broken heart? Join them on their journey through the complexities of teenage life, where they embrace chaos and find meaning in their growing friendship.

Ellie has always isolated herself from love. Very few people ever heard those three words uttered from her mouth. She isn't cold, in fact, Ellie is known to be friendly and social. Yet, when Reid Foster moves to town, he seems determined to know each one of Ellie's secrets. Will Ellie let go of her fears and give in to love or will she forever be apart of the lonely stars. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Why are you avoiding me?" Reid asks. His voice cuts through the quiet like a stone thrown into still water. "I'm not avoiding you. I've just been busy this week," I reply quickly, hugging my arms around myself as I turn toward the gravel path. Before I can get far, his hand shoots out, and he steps in front of me. The crunch of his shoes on the stones makes me freeze. "That's bullshit, Ellie. And we both know it." His words hang heavy in the cool night air. I keep my gaze fixed on the dark line of trees behind him, anywhere but his eyes. But then he leans in, and I catch the warm cedar scent of his jacket. My throat tightens. "You're scared," he says, softer now, but closer. "You think that one day I'll just up and leave...like your mom." The mention of her is a knife I wasn't ready for. My breath stutters. "I've tried to show you how much I care," he continues, eyes locked on mine. "But all you ever do is pull away. Do you know how much that hurts?" The cicadas drone on, indifferent to my silence. My legs want to move, to bolt into the darkness, but I can't. His words root me to the spot.
