HIGHSCHOOL
They came from different worlds-Calix, the boy who had everything, and Nicole, the girl who never asked for more. Their story began in the hallways of high school, where quiet glances turned into late-night talks, and ordinary days felt like home. But just when everything felt right, he left. Four years later, fate brings them back to the place where everything started. Same spot. Same sky. But are they still the same people? Because sometimes......the heart remembers what the mind tries to forget. They were never supposed to meet again. Not after everything. Not after four years of silence. But fate has a cruel sense of timing. Because the boy who once shattered her is now the man who stares at her like she's the only thing that ever made sense.
