The Daisy Effect

Essa Argana thought her senior year would be all about surviving deadlines, keeping her parents happy, and dodging the pressure of being the "beauty with brains." Love? Not on the agenda. That is, until Tyron Sanchez-the math prodigy with a devil-may-care smile-steps in and flips her carefully planned world upside down.

Tyron isn't just a distraction; he's the unexpected curveball Essa didn't plan for in her last year of high school. Two years younger but somehow more confident than anyone his age has a right to be, Tyron has a way of slipping past her defenses with his playful grin and teasing charm.

It starts with harmless banter: stolen glances, playful texts, and one unexpected daisy that lingers in her mind longer than it should. But in a school where whispers travel faster than secrets, and feelings have a way of spiraling out of control, Essa finds herself walking a fine line between what's safe and what her heart really wants.

Because sometimes, love isn't simple. And it's definitely never easy.
