Chasing The Lines

(WRITTING IN PROGRESS)

Lillian Monroe has spent the last few years of high school blending into the background. Between dodging her cruel stepsisters, surviving the endless monotony of classes, and keeping her head down, she's perfected the art of going unnoticed. At school, she's invisible. At home, she's unwanted. And that's just the way things are.

That is, until Adrian Sinclair walks into her life.

The mysterious new guy arrives in a limousine, immediately becoming the center of attention. The entire school is obsessed with him-including Lillian's stepsisters, who are determined to claim his attention. But Adrian doesn't seem interested in the spotlight. Instead, he gravitates toward the one girl who has no interest in him.

When a chance encounter under her favorite tree turns into an unexpected study partnership, Lillian finds herself spending more time with Adrian. He's charming, frustratingly confident, and impossible to figure out. But despite their differences, there's something undeniably easy about being around him-like he actually sees her.

As their connection deepens, rumors spread, social circles clash, and old wounds resurface. Lillian's stepsisters grow more vicious, Adrian's friends question his choices, and Lillian struggles to believe that someone like him could ever truly care about someone like her.

But Adrian isn't one to back down from a challenge.

And for the first time in her life, Lillian might have found something worth fighting for.
