Lessons of Love

Iris has spent most of her life in the shadows-homeschooled with no friends, a quiet girl who has never known the warmth of love or affection. After the death of her mother, she's thrust into the unfamiliar world of public school, a place where she feels lost and invisible. But everything changes the moment she meets Nathaniel.

Nathaniel is the polar opposite of Iris. A rebellious bad boy with a reputation as a delinquent, he's been through his own battles and wears his anger like armor. No one expects much from him, and he doesn't care. Until he crosses paths with Iris, and for reasons he can't explain, something about her draws him in.

At first, they don't seem to have anything in common. Nathaniel's wild ways clash with Iris's timidity, and yet, they begin to find solace in each other's company. Nathaniel shows Iris the world outside her quiet bubble, teaching her that love isn't just a fairy tale-it's about acceptance, patience, and learning to be vulnerable. In return, Iris helps Nathaniel heal from the pain of his past, showing him that he doesn't have to be alone.

Together, they navigate the complexities of high school, friendship, and love, each learning more about themselves and the world around them. As their bond deepens, they both realize that love isn't about perfection; it's about two people willing to grow together, even when the world around them is uncertain.
