The girl trapped in the torture of her mind and the boy burdened with the guilt of living.

"I'm surprised you even remember that day, Howard."

"I remember most things when it comes to you, Preston."

I give him a steely look, our noses almost grazing, "Would you ever stop with these lines?"

"Will you ever fall for these lines?"

~~

Edith Preston: the head girl and first ranked student in Thorn Academy. Everyone in school knows her as the cold, unbothered girl, a school director's daughter. She doesn't try to change their image of her, but she can't stop it from hurting either, and with everything going on at home, Edith may turn to ways that aren't healthy.
Grayson Howard: the head boy and the academic rival of Edith Preston, the girl he is head over heels for. Everyone in school knows him as the handsome, smiling boy, an orphan who only has eyes for one girl. He jokes and plays around, but when night comes, he can't escape the guilt and fear he's hiding deep inside.
Everyone can see that the two of them were meant to be, but will they be able to overcome their issues to try and be with each other? Or will life interfere causing them to be apart even when they want to be together?
