Project Ethan

When small-town girl Rhaena Pascual meets a charming, mysterious boy at a city cinema during vacation, she's convinced it's fate. A single shared moment-a fleeting conversation, a lingering glance-ignites a spark that she can't ignore. So when she discovers he attends Harrowgate International Academy, the most prestigious school in the city, she makes a bold decision: she transfers schools, determined to turn their chance encounter into something more.

But reality isn't as dreamy as she imagined. Ethan Sinclair-the school's top student, the golden boy everyone admires-is nothing like the boy she met that night. Instead of warm smiles and easy laughter, she's met with indifference and icy stares. He's distant, unreadable, and completely uninterested in the girl who uprooted her life just to be near him.

As Rhaena struggles to navigate the new school, its social hierarchy, and the relentless whispers about Ethan's cold reputation, she begins to question everything. Did she make a mistake chasing after a fantasy? Or is there more to Ethan than he lets the world see?

One thing's for sure-falling for the unattainable might be the biggest risk Aria has ever taken. And she's not ready to back down just yet.
