There isn't much to say about Gladeville. It's the kind of town where nothing ever happens, with a forgotten history and a bunch of boring people. The only hope for change comes from the teens at Darth High School. Among them, Senior Jello Bindväv stands out-not because she's loud, but because she's smart and hardworking. Since she was little, Jello dreamed of leading others, stepping in when people needed help. But her shyness always held her back. Still, she worked hard and became her class representative by freshman year. Then, disaster struck. A town not far from Gladeville was hit by a huge earthquake. Its high school was destroyed, and the students had nowhere to go. Luckily, Darth High had some space, but not enough for everyone. One of the new students was Grapes Hathaway. Jello hadn't seen Grapes in years. Before her family moved to London, the two were inseparable. Everyone wondered why they left-some said it was because they were too rich for Gladeville. Jello didn't know for sure, but she knew they didn't fit in here. Now, Grapes was back. Jello couldn't believe it. She looked around the halls, trying to find her. But where was she? Jello felt her heart race. She wanted to call out, but the words wouldn't come. Too embarrassed, she tried to remember what Grapes looked like. But everything felt blurry. The bell rang, pulling Jello back to reality. She walked into her history class, her mind still spinning. And there, sitting at the front of the room, was Grapes. Jello froze. It was her, but... not. Grapes looked different. She was so confident, so polished. It was as if she no longer belonged in Gladeville at all. Jello's heart beat faster. What had happened to her friend all these years? Why did she feel like a stranger now? What happened in their past? How will this story end? Who is Grapes, really?
