Description:
Deshawn Mitchell is Eastwood High's infamous loner-cold, sarcastic, and untouchable. With walls built so high, no one dares to get close to him. That is, until Kamryn Carter crashes into his life-literally.
Kamryn, with her sunny personality and relentless optimism, has a knack for stumbling into trouble. After an awkward coffee spill and a string of accidental encounters, she becomes the one person Deshawn can't seem to shake. As fate throws them together-first as chemistry partners and then through unexpected shared moments-Kamryn's charm starts to break through Deshawn's icy exterior.
But Deshawn isn't used to letting people in, and the scars of his past make it easier to push others away than risk getting hurt. Kamryn, however, refuses to give up on him, even when his sharp words threaten to drive her off.
What begins as a series of grudging conversations turns into an unexpected bond, as Kamryn discovers the artist hidden beneath Deshawn's tough exterior and Deshawn learns that not everyone is out to hurt him. Together, they navigate their differences, confront old wounds, and discover that sometimes, the person you least expect can become your greatest source of light.
Breaking Walls is a heartfelt enemies-to-lovers story about vulnerability, healing, and the power of connection.

Growing Pains
In the day-to-day trenches of high school, it is almost the default-setting to believe we are the main character of our own coming-of-age story. This is not wrong. It's just ours isn't the only story there is. The jocks, the nerds, the cheerleaders, the losers, the stoners, the fangirls, the skaters. Everyone's the realest most important person in existence, all of them, at the same time, first-person narrators to their own stories, stumbling into each other's plot lines, defying the status-quo, catalysts to ups and downs. A deconstruction of all the high school tropes and cliches written over the years, a deep-dive into the psyche of students trying to finish high school while going through irrevocable self-discovery, the most improbable of connections, and the insufferable pains of growing up.Complete

His Sunshine | ✓
She looks up at me, taking a step forward and smiling slightly, "How can I ever get hurt when I have you here to protect me?" "But you could have gotten hurt," I murmur softly, hanging my head and feeling my shoulders drop, the tension seeping from my body. "No. Stop," She cuts me off sternly but tenderly, "Don't talk like that, Reece. I'm okay, you're okay, we're okay," She speaks softly, reaching her hand up to gently brush her thumb over my cheek, just under the cut that's there. "We're okay," I repeat, taking a small step closer to her. She nods with a small smile, moving her hand down from my cheek and instead placing the palm of her hand on my chest, right over my heart. I know she can feel how fast my heart is beating. I just don't know why it's doing that. ~ Reece Carter is the bad boy of Northwood High. He smokes and he fights.
