"Aside from your reputation-" I start to list off.
"I have a reputation, do I?" Theo smirks. "Sweet of you to do your research on me."
"Shut up." I scoff. "Aside from that, I happen to know you don't do serious."
"According to Brent, neither do you." Theo fires back amused. Turning around so his back is leaning against the railing now, his head turned to face me. Slightly closer than he was before.
I can't help but smile at the small omission. He's been asking about me.
"I can do serious, I just don't do messy." I correct him.
"Bullshit." His chest bounces as he snorts in response. "The whole thing you've got going on with pretty boy is plenty messy. You just don't do fun."

At Halston Bay Prep, perfection isn't just expected-it's required.
Sophia Bishop knows this better than anyone. Beautiful, brilliant, and born into power, she rules the school with a smile sharpened into a weapon. But behind the flawless hair and curated reputation lies a mountain of secrets she won't let anyone close enough to see.
Everything starts to crack when Theo Beck-reckless, charming, and absolutely off-limits-steps into her world and refuses to play by her rules. What begins as a distraction spirals into a dangerous secret, one with consequences Sophia can't control and emotions she can't afford.
As lies tangle, loyalties snap, and masks slip, Halston Bay's golden children learn that perfection has a price. And when one wrong choice shatters the illusion, nothing-and no one-comes out unscathed.
Love, power, betrayal-this is what happens when a kingdom built on image finally collapses.
