Shades of Us

Aeliana thought high school was going to be just another chapter in her chaotic life. Struggling with a broken family and her own inner battles, she kept people at a distance-until she met Caelum, the charming crush of the class, and Zephyr, his quiet best friend.

What started as a rivalry over petty arguments and stolen moments in front of an electric fan turned into something deeper. From teasing glances to late-night conversations, Aeliana finds herself torn between her first crush and the boy who saw beyond her tough exterior.

But life, as always, has its twists. With her family forcing her to transfer schools, distance becomes their biggest enemy. As they try to hold on to unspoken promises, new friendships and budding relationships test the strength of what they once had.

Is love enough to bridge the gap between what was and what could have been?
