What are we? | Book 1 (REWRITING)

Elena Smith has always been good at pretending. At school, she wears a brave face, navigating high school like any other teenager. But beneath her calm exterior, she battles severe depression that she doesn't talk about with her closest friends. Freshman year feels like a fresh start until she's paired with Elijah Parker as her lab partner in science class.

At first, their partnership is all awkward silences and polite small talk. But as they spend more time together, Elijah's easygoing nature starts to break through Elena's walls. Little by little, she finds herself opening up to him in ways she never expected, forming a bond that feels deeper than anything she's ever had before, or at least she thought it was.
